I have always been small chested - a 34A. I have 2 kids. I have been thinking about BA for a LONG time. I had a consultation over a year ago, but I was turned off by the "drive thru" mentality of the doc - in fact, I'm sure that he wouldn't have recognized me 10 minutes after the consultation! Finally I have the money to do and went in for a consultation a few weeks ago and decided to schedule.

March 23rd is the big date and I have gone CRAZY with emotions - I'm happy, I'm excited, I have regrets, I feel selfish. Right now, reading these posts and seeing after pics I'm excited. I can't wait to wear a non padded bra and can't wait to buy a normal swimsuit! I told my boss, my husband, my sister and a couple friends but that is IT. There is no way I am telling my parents- don't want to get the 3rd degree ;-) It is really helpful that my husband is super supportive. My pre op is Monday, so I'll post more after!

So my pre op is Monday - I am supposed to take pictures in of BA's that look too big, too small, and are just right. I had no idea how hard that would be. I also think I might be obsessed. It's what I think about all the time, and I'm sure I'm annoying to my husband!! I'm so happy to have found this place - it eases a lot of my fears and when I say I'm obsessed you guys know what I mean! : )
I'll post more after my pre op.....and I'll try to post pics. eeeek, I can't believe this is really happening!

yay im glad you started a review! :)
March 9, 2012
You inspired me :-)
March 9, 2012
I totally understand, the only people that know are my hubby, personal trainer and 2 girls I work out with. If my parents found knew they would freak out and tell evryone they knew! I am getting a lift and silicone augmentation on April 3rd. I'm 5'2, 120 and a 34A small B.Im so excited I wish it were sooner! Can't wait to find out how your pre-op goes. How big do you think you want to go? I'm hoping for a C.
March 9, 2012
I am hoping for a C too, I think that would look ok on my small frame and not too big. Mostly I just want to look natural!!
March 9, 2012
I am totally obsessed. I look at boobs all day on my ipad! My hubby thinks I"m crazy as well. I have saved my pics on my ipad of what I want to look like and what I think are too big and too small. At this point ANYTHING will be better than what I have. Having a child has made my chest completely flat and saggy! I How tall are you and what do you weigh?
March 9, 2012
That's all I look at too :-) I'm 5'4" and I weigh 120 pounds. I can't wait to have something to show off - something more than a padded bra!
March 10, 2012
We are almost the same height and weight :) what sizes do you have in mind?
March 9, 2012
We do have similar frames. I think I will be happy with a C. I think a D would be too overwhelming. Plus I do figure competitions and when I really lean out I dont want Torpedo boobs!
March 9, 2012
Its great to read your story.. i too have two kids and have always had small breast( when i was a teenager grwoing up I THOUGHT will i ever have boobies) now i will ! my surgey is scheduled for March 30th. I TOO go through all sorts of emotions on any given day and my hubby just looks at me and shake his head!! lol.. I have only told my hubby, sister and best friend. Glad to have found a place where people share the same feelings!!

So I just had my pre op - this seems so real I almost threw up when I left the office LOL

We went over everything, my doc was awesome about answering my questions and told me to call anytime if I think of any additional questions.

I think I might have already said this but I am 5'4" weigh about 125 and am a 32A. I am 33 years old and have 2 kids - 8 & 3.

Today I decided on silicone implants and she said we are going to go somewhere between 325cc - 400cc, but no bigger than 400 on my small frame. We're going for a full C, she said if I get less than that I will be disappointed. She is awesome, so I completely trust her.

My husband is uber supportive so that helps a ton. I told her how nervous I was about recovery. She does an intercostal block which she said helps tremendously with recovery. She told me the best thing to do is know and accept the house will not be in tip top shape and my husband will not do things like I do, but it will all work out and within a week I'll feel so much better and be so happy I went through with this.

She gave me Keflex, Percocet (I'm allergic to both Coedine and Vikoden) and a muscle relaxer along with Arnica for swelling and bruising.

I can't believe how real this is! Thankfully I have to be at the surgery center by 6:00 am and my surgery is at 7:30 - so I won't have time to stew on things!!

I'll work on getting some pictures tonight.

Getting closer and I can't believe it!!!

hi congratulations on your decision and im sure you very anxious for the 23rd to be here already..lol i was. i couldn't believe i was actually going thru with it and i was going to have boobs..lol good luck to you and keep us posted :)
March 12, 2012
Hi and congrats on your upcoming surgery. March 23rd will be here before you know it! I just had my surgery on the 8th and I must say it was not as bad as I thought especially since you have had two kids already....to me the pain was no comparison. I am 5'1 and 112 pounds and went with 325cc and couldn't be happier. I didn't want to go too big in fear of myself looking like I had fake boobs. oh, well good luck!!!
March 13, 2012
My doc was thinking like 325 - 350 and you and I are very close to the same size. Thank you SO much for telling me it was nothing compared to kids and wasn't as bad as you thought - helps a ton! I'm more nervous than I thought I would be!
March 13, 2012
I am so excited for you! I cant wait to hear how your recovery goes so I know what I can expect :-) Your so close! I cant wait until im as close as you!!!
March 13, 2012
