I've been on this site for awhile and Ive been...
I've been on this site for awhile and Ive been reading about people's BA journey. I figured it's time I contribute!
First let me start off by staying that like many of you on realself, I have struggled with whether to undergo surgery voluntarily or not. I've never been under for anything other than my wisdom tooth (yes I only have 1) so this was very scary decision for me. I've never taken any painkillers other than 200mg ibuprofen or 500mg Tylenol.
I've been in a relationship for nearly 9 years and my boyfriend has never made me feel self conscious. Even I actually like my small boobs, especially when I'm naked. However, when it comes to swimsuit season and certain tops, I am not. I constantly feel like I need to wear push-up bikinis but I'm a fan or triangle ones! I always end up with the triangle ones but I'm self conscious.
After much thought (since I was 16) I decided to treat myself to get a BA! I want to feel confident and sexy on the beach. Heck, even with my boyfriend it would be fun!
He's never once pressured me and continues to ask if I'm sure about it, but he's extremely supportive.
I told my parents and brother about it and surprisingly my dad was the most supportive. He said. "You deserve to be happy, you've worked hard", which made me really happy considering I was most nervous to tell him. My brother and mother were apprehensive but supportive. My mom is mostly worried about the pain, which I am too ! I just have to think of the end result :).
So here are my stats:
26 y.o.
No kids
34a
5'5"
112 lbs
Going for a natural look
Silicone moderate /moderate plus
Wanting full B small C
275cc-300cc
I just want it to be June, so I can have the surgery over with. The anticipation is killing me! :P

Pre-op
I had my pre-op appointment yesterday and omg the paperwork is scary! Thankfully I trust my Dr. But I doubted for a second.
I'm so nervous about the pain! But I want bigger boobies and want to feel sexier...
Hoping for the best with my recovery and the look!

So anxious/excited
So I'm 2 days away! So nervous!!! I'm excited but I hope I can bare the pain and don't freak out in the operating room.

I went for my consultation with Dr. Seckel on March 25. My visit was pretty great! From the moment I walked in I felt welcomed. The secretary was extremely upbeat and nice. She was so happy that I came to the appointment with my filled questionnaire. The nurse was very good at answering all my questions and raved about Dr. Seckel'swork. When Dr. Seckel came in the room, he took his time answering all my questions and made me feel extremely comfortable. My BA is scheduled for 6/18/15! 19 months after surgery and everything is great! Highly recommend!
