I had my BA a little over a week ago on January 11th. This was my second cosmetic procedure and I chose the same surgeon that did my chin implant because I was so pleased with his work. Anyways about my stats, I’m 5’5 137 pounds. I’ve always thought I was a 34B in bra size but never filled the top of my bras because there was hardly any breast tissue from breastfeeding my one child, so my breast were completely deflated. I’ve wanted a BA since I was a teenager and finally decided that getting a boob job was gonna be my 25th birthday present to myself. I went in for my consultation, everyone was so nice as always. I met with my surgeon and I told him what I wanted my boobs to look like. I did not want a super fake round boob job and wasn’t trying to be too big either. My goal was a pretty natural looking full C. I tried on implants and when it came to 375ccs I said I no longer wanted to go bigger than that because I was scared they would look too big for my body, after discussing this with my doctor he said 410ccs modérate profile would be perfect for my chest size and body proportions. When he said 410ccs I started overthinking that they would be too big but I trusted his decision and went for it. Surgery day came and I was not nervous at all! I was so happy and excited to finally get pretty boobs. It was an hour surgery and when I woke up I had forgotten where I was and what I was doing there from the anesthesia but it slowly all came to me and I realized I had new boobs! Btw my incision was in the crease. I had pain and lots of pressure on my chest making it difficult to take deep breaths but it wasn’t anything unbearable. I ate some oatmeal when I got home and took my Percocet and went to sleep for a while and woke up feeling more alert. The healing process has honestly not been bad at all! Day 1 and 2 were the “worst” and even the worst wasn’t very bad. I had my post op on the 17th. I just seen one of the nurses though and not my doctor because it was just to check on my healing and remove the plastic bandage from my incisions and put steri strips instead, the nurse also showed me how to massage them for them drop faster. I asked her if the implant size I got was big and did say it was definitely bigger than the average size and the look of my boobs would change when the implant dropped into its pocket. As for compression bra and bandages. I was put in a really simple sports bra and I took it off to get my first look at my new girls. They were definitely huge and swollen and high but I was happy with the work my surgeon had done and knew they had to drop and fluff to get to what they’re really going to look like. I was completely happy about the size but I seen some family members over the weekend and they said it looked like I hadn’t had anything done and told me I should have gone way bigger so now that’s all I can think about! I’m so disappointed that now I feel like I should have gone way bigger and like it’s not a big difference! I hate that someone’s words have affected me so negatively especially over something I wanted for so long and paid lots of money for. When I went in for my surgery my doctor assured me that I would be a full C to small D and now I’m hoping I won’t even be a C! I want to be a D cup! I look at my boobs a few times a day and try to convince myself that they are big enough but I’m not sure if they are. They’re still sitting high and I’ve heard that once they drop and fluff they look fuller and bigger. Is this true? I’m really hoping it is! I’ve tried on bralets and I like how my new boobs look so far in them but I’m scared they’ll look different after they drop and I won’t be happy with the size still? I won’t see my doctor again for 6 weeks because he likes to check on things once the implant has had time to drop into its pocket. I’m really trying to stay positive and love my new breast size but people sure aren’t lying about the boob greed! I’ll post pics please tell me if you think the size is big or good for my body.

Thank you! I’m actually having an implant exchange because I’m not happy with the size or profile. The size you pick is seriously the most stressful and hardest part about getting a BA. Take your time and ask questions to make sure you’re picking the correct size. I’m having even more anxiety picking the size my second time!

I can totally understand the anxiety for the second time around. I've had two appointments with my Patient Coordinator to talk about size lol and I have changed my mine again with what I want. I'm going to wear these people out with my drama haha!

That’s me too! Haha. I’m trying to decide between 615cc uhp or 650cc uhp. I’m just scared 650cc will be too big. Don’t get me wrong I do want big but I’m not sure if that’s pushing it lol. What sizes are you debating on?

This is exactly my story I went 500 mp . I did not want to go big because of the embarrassment of people knowing I had ba. I trusted my surgeon and now no one can tell because I had to much elasticity that I could of easily gone bigger and feel confident. Oh btw my left implant Is stuck to my pectoral muscle and will not drop very frustrating . You look amazing just the perfect size beautiful can't tell it was a ba .

Thank you! And I’m sorry to hear about the frustration with your implant. Will frequent massaging help at all? But I’m happy with my results. Sometimes I wonder if I would have been better off getting high profile instead of uhp and sometimes I wish I did have that fake look but overall I’m just happy i have boobs now lol
