$5,950
Hello RS!! My procedure is in 11 days and I'm absolutely stoked!!! I've been practically flat chested all my life, barely grew boobs in puberty. My husband of over 6 years loves me the way I am, but happily supports me and it is our happy choice to have a BA. I've done a lot of research and feel pretty comfortable with my choices. I have a pretty narrow chest, and barely fill an A cup. My Dr advised (and I'm totally comfortable with this) 325cc HP round cohesive silicone gel, subglandular. I know there is some debate about sub-G vs sub-Muscular, but my Dr has over 35 years of experience and determined that even with the little breast tissue I have I will still have a lovely result and not see indentations of the outline of the implant if I do sub-G. Honestly, I have so little pectoral muscle, that it would probably do more harm than good to try to cut it and stuff an implant beneath it (my opinion). So sub-g makes sense for me. I've worn 32A all my life, always on the tightest rung. I'm probably actually a 30 or 28. I'm aiming for a full 30C, which would be a full 32B. I think it would be very flattering and similar to what I look like with big push-up bras now (which is my goal). I've only told select family members who would be concerned simply to know that I'm having surgery; and they, also, just want me to be happy and healthy. Here are some boobie wish pics and my befores (be nice! I know they're small/nonexistent) Also, if you've had a BA, tell me how you prepared the week in advance. What did you do/not do, take meds/didn't take, exercise, moisturizer? I bought a kit, Jenny Edens Recovery kit for BA recovery that has a bunch of stuff that I've read should be very helpful for a fast and full recovery. Pic included

I am also going sub-G and having a hard time finding others. I really wish there were more after 6 months pics, but most people seem to stop posting after a month.
So, I'll be following you. Good luck!

I'll be sure to post as often as I can, and definitely 3, 6, 9, 12 months and 2 years. You're right, there aren't enough, I'll definitely keep this updated :) 10 days!!!

I'm the same ^^ but going with 325cc m+
July 31, 2016
I think it's a great size to look pretty and natura :) I'm only getting HP because I'm so narrow :)
August 1, 2016
Yes, i'm totally flat but my ps told me to go m+ max if I dont want my implants to look unnatural or too popping out roundish :o. I told many times I dont want too natural look xD but that seems the max I can find in my city.

Mine are mod t and I think they give nice projection and cleavage. The doctors know what looks best.

Hi, I'm two days post op and feel great! I was a 32B and have had 375cc anatomical implant sub-muscular taking me to what I think will be a d/dd cup (difficult to tell exact size at this stage). I'm 5'11'' athletic build and wanted as natural a look as could be achieved. I cleaned the house, did a big food shop and organised clothes I could get in and out of easily before the big day. I began taking Arnica tablets a week before surgery to reduce swelling afterwards. Apparently I wasn't swollen after the op but that could change. The surgery was very straight forward. I didn't feel a thing. I felt slightly tight across the chest when I woke up and slightly sore near the armpit probably where my muscle had been cut. I'm not in any pain but I do feel a bit sore. I have needed help getting dressed, reaching for things and preparing meals. I've found sleeping up right very difficult but will go back to sleeping on my back on day 3. I'm wearing the support bra issued to me at surgery and have ordered a couple of front fastening sports bra's to alternate between after my check up visit 1 week after my op. I can't wait for the support bra to come off next week so I can have a proper look :-)

I probably should have taken Arnica before, but I'm really looking forward to taking it, Bromelain and Quercetin after the surgery! I'm glad to know that the Arnica seems to have really helped with your swelling and bruising! Keep recovering so wonderfully, get your rest, and I'm sending you positive vibes!!!

I feel like you just told my story!!!!!! Hehe! I wore "32A" on the smallest rung as well. Even then it was loose and barely filled it (probably should have been 28AA or AAA or something concave hahaha...). But the BA basically made me the size I would've been with big push up bras too!
What did I do and not do? I definitely took pictures of my bare chest for the "before" pictures... But what I forgot to do in hindsight was take pictures of myself in certain tops so I could see the difference post BA with the same top on! It's my biggest regret... Cuz we've all seen so many before/afters of the bare chest, but none in clothes, and that's what matters right?! It would have been an easier indicator of the size differences (other than bra size). In terms of preparation... I really didn't prepare enough. Make sure you remember to get all your laundry done pre surgery! Bc I forgot, and tried to do it, and it was ridiculous and impossible. Definitely moisturize your breasts after because your skin will get dry and itchy from being stretched! I just used baby lotion although I know other ppl recommend vitamin E and other fancy stuff. I definitely didn't exercise before or after. I'm 6mo post-op now and still don't exercise because I don't want to jeopardize anything just yet (maybe just light running from the car when it's raining). Oh, and an electric toothbrush will become your best friend versus the normal toothbrush. (: I think that was the only thing I was prepared for haha.
I can't really see how much I've typed on my phone so far so I'll end here. Good luck! I'm excited for you!! Keep us posted!

Thank you! I didn't think about an electric toothbrush!!! Ill get one today. Thanks so much for the great advice and positive vibes! We'll have a "photoshoot" of some more befores tonight.☺️☺️☺️

Yay! Btw Im actually 5'1 100 pounds too so I'm glad you posted your story. You're the first person I've come across with my exact height, weight, and pre-op breast size. Everyone else already had a lot bigger breasts pre-op to begin with so I thought I was the only one in my category :))
Isn't your BA tmrw?! Ahhh much excites!

I totally agree! I'm wanted to post this to encourage other girls with my body type!!! It IS tomorrow! I just got off work and we're making the final preparations tonight!! I'm a total ball of nerves!!!
August 3, 2016
I should post my story soon too. Eeeek! Even at 6 mo I still wake up everyday feeling the same happiness I felt the first day post op... grateful that I finally have boobs since I've been flat my whole life. I know you're gonna be just as happy :) Don't forget LOTS of pre op pictures in different tops!! And take them at different angles for both top on and off! Electric toothbrush! Crackers and soup ready cuz you might not have an appetite afterwards! Button ups so you don't have to lift your arms! And prepare for the mix of emotions you might feel after you wake up!!

Good luck, stay healthy, and positive. This is a great size for you. You loose about 25cc if you go under muscle, but I felt mine looked bigger after surgery than I thought. I'll be following your story.
July 28, 2016
Lol all those question marks are not supposed to be there! We both think the size will be amazing, didn't mean to sound confusing, I was just reviewing and realized it could be.

I'll let you know! Came to me in less than a weeks time after ordering and gal who sells it is very friendly :) I'm starting using it today! Hopefully it'll be great ☺️
I am four days out from my BA. Super easy so far but I'm a bit older than you, haha. I'm 51, two grown kids. I only told hubby of course, and four close friends. I felt terrible about hiding it from family (they live out of state, but aren't really supportive of spending money on unnecessary surgery). I stay fit, exercise five days a week, eat right, take supplements. I had to have blood work, EKG, and stress test before due to high blood pressure(genetic) and age. I stressed and was way mor afraid than I needed to be. All went smoothly, even being put under. Pain is tolerable. I cut out alcohol for two weeks, stops pectoral weight training, ate right, rested, no Advil, and got a wedge pillow, and four button down tops, I ordered three Coobie sports bras but you wear surgical bra for four weeks, I also got all my meds and placed them in a pill box with the days of the week on them. I only needed them three days. I also took Colace for constipation and pooped day two. Day of surgery, I asked for anti-nausea drug in my IV when I woke up because meds give me that feeling. It helped. My hubby took great care of me, he put ice packs in and out of freezer for me, set the alarm to get my meds to me every four hours (stay on top of this as it keeps pain to a minimum). He also cooked all my favorite dinners. I had surgery on Thursday, Friday he came home and cooked me soup with crackers, and brought up apple sauce and pudding so I could take pills on a full stomach.
My doctor doesn't want any showering or moisturizer for a week. Keep arms at your side, read and watch Netflix. I think if you follow orders to a T you won't have any complications, just rest. Good luck.
