I'm so excited I found this site! I have wanted BA...

I'm so excited I found this site!
I have wanted BA for...forever. Since I was in high school and realized that I was done developing.
I'm an A cup, though I can't say I've ever worn a properly fitting bra because I was always trying to make them look bigger instead of focusing on fit. I've always been self conscious of them. I never felt they suited my frame.
My wonderful husband thinks I look perfect as I am(he's super great) but because of that it took a long time for him to understand my point of view. After many late night talks, and me finally expressing myself in a way he could relate with, he was on board.
I am well aware that this is my body, and blah blah blah, but we are a team and let's face it, it would be hard to do without him on board.
Since that point, I have been saving. I do not want to finance this. I then looked at my work schedule. I'll be off work for over a week at the end of March, so that's my goal timeframe.
I have scheduled my first consultation for 1/25/16 and I can not wait to go!
I have looked at a lot of wish boobs, and have an idea of what I want. Very full, but not huge. With my height and lower body curves(I have booty), I feel that may fall around a D, but am waiting for my PS input.
I feel like I will be on this site a lot in the next few months.

I'm 33 1 child. 5"8 130 lbs was a 32A-B I got 300cc high profile cohesive gel unders. I'm only 5 days post op, but they're looking awesome! Not huge but perfectly round and I have cleavage!!
January 10, 2016
Thanks for letting me know! It's so hard to know where to start.
January 10, 2016
Have you posted your journey? I would love to read it. I'm not sure how to find it(new to the site)
January 10, 2016
I have Jess2.0 o think if you click on my name it brings you to my profile... I only just got the hand of it after 2 months. Lol. I haven't posted yesterday and today update but I will be later today.
January 10, 2016
Like you ladies. My hubby tried for years telling me I didn't need them, I hated my chest. Hated looking at my naked self, hated taking my shirt off in front of him etc. When my mom told me she would pay I cried and booked it asap! 2 months later I have beautiful boobs, still smaller but so beautiful. I'm 6 days post op today. I'll be posting pics and update later today.
January 10, 2016
Your mom paid for them?! My mom is anti BA. She was small then got big after kids and hates it. I have always told her "I'll buy myself some one day" and she would lecture me, so I'm not telling her. I'd like to tell her so she could help with the kids, but it's not an option.
January 10, 2016
I know I am in an extremely lucky position. Yes my mom paid for them and stayed at my house for 5 days to fill in my "mommy role" and take care of me. My mom had hers done 27 years ago, she did it for herself and had the same selfesteem issues, she went about the same size I got.

I want to know what the pain is like. I have a consult at the end of the month but psyching myself out. Looking at wish boobs too! Im a small A wanting a C cup.
January 17, 2016
I'm afraid I'm going to psych myself out too. So I need looking at wish boobs lol

Wish boobs
Search and search and search. There is so much information out there!
It's hard to judge people's frame, and how much is boob and how much is bra(without looking at [RS bleep] obviously)
I keep coming back to this picture though. And even did a side by side with myself because I feel our build is similar.
Excuse the crummy post work out picture.
And this sports bra even has some padding.

Cc look different on everyone. My advice look at pics of women who have the same band size. From what I've seen a 32A will look similar on a 5"3 and a 5"8 but a 34A is way bigger. Also high profile looks different. It's the most projection you can get, which is what I went with. :)
January 10, 2016
That's my problem, I don't think I've ever worn the right band. I wear a 36A, but have no clue if that's right. I've always been too embarrassed to be fitted because they're so small.
January 10, 2016
Take a tape measure and measure kinda where your ribs are. Mine actually is 28in. I'm very petite but 5"8. Im hourglass shape.
January 10, 2016
So look at 32-A or B pre op. Just find the size that matches you best, and look at the cc. I actually went into my consultation totally open. I told the Ps I wanted my nursing boobs back and he told me the largest I could go because my breast width was 300cc which is why we chose hp cause it would look the biggest as far as projection. I figure they do this all day and know what looks best. Bring after pics to make sure you and Ps are on the same page.
January 10, 2016
Thank you for the advice. I am going in open minded as well. I just want to look nice in clothes and not need a padded bra.
January 10, 2016
I still have swelling, but currently measuring at 32C!! Yay
January 17, 2016
Pain is gone! I'm almost 2 weeks and feel great. My right was still high and tight, I went out last night and went Braless and it's dropped and almost the exact same as the left!
January 17, 2016
Im so nervous about recovery and pain. Do they feel real or can you tell there is foreign substance in there?
January 17, 2016
I can feel them against my ribs, if I squeeze them I can feel the implant, but I was completely flat before. Recovery was worse than I expected. However it was SO worth it!! I have so much more confidence now. It was horrible, I'm an Esthetician but went back to work at 8 days. I'm now almost 2 weeks and am starting to feel like theyre part of me.
January 17, 2016
Glad they're feeling better! I have to go back to work after week when I have mine too which is worrying me. I'm a nurse in a doctors office.
January 17, 2016
So ive heard surgery on a wed and people are able to go back to work on a monday. But you are saying it takes longer? Im so freaked but im flat and had full c when breastfeeding.
January 17, 2016
And so i should expect misery for the first 3-5 days it seems. Ugh im freaked

Wish boobs!
I need help ladies! I would love to see some of your wish boobs(or your boobs if you like)
I'm 5'6 135lbs(maybe a little less, will be closer to 130 by surgery) athletic.
I'm looking for about a D cup(I think)
Measurement around rib cage is 30 1/2 in.
If it's your boobs, I'd love to know your stats and implant info as well.

we are same height and weight and same measurements around rib cage if that helps!!
I'm scared too honestly. I've convinced myself a thousand times that "he's right, I don't need it" then I catch myself in the mirror and remember why I want this so bad
