Looking at these before pictures is kind of...

Looking at these before pictures is kind of depressing! I sometimes think my boobs look okay, but they look like shriveled nonsense in these pics. I wear a 34A, but I've never found a bra that fits properly, since they are so far apart and lack volume. Every bra I own has a ton of space in the cup (which I honestly don't really need).
I'm pretty thin, with a very thin upper body. I wanted a subtle, natural look, for I opted for 255cc round moderate profile.
My fear now is that I've chosen too small a size. When I tried on the sizers, they felt huge! They explained that the final result would be a bit smaller, but I still couldn't imagine going bigger. The visualizer showed a nice, natural-looking result, which the doctor agreed was very flattering. Then, during my pre-op appointment next week, the nurse asked me if I was certain of the size and added, "That's NOT a very big implant." Now I'm a little nervous. I've been looking at a ton of women who got petite implants, and their results vary wildly. Any thoughts?

I think your breasts are beautiful, i would kill for your shape! I think you should consider gaining weight. I was really skinny too 5'1 and 86 lbs, but i started counting calories and getting the most bang for my buck food wise. I also snack on nuts and other good fats. I now weigh 100 lbs and look so much better. I think you will find that your breasts will look fuller and your curves more pronounced if you gain weight. If you still want the implants, it looks much better to go smaller than larger if you want a more natural but still amazing result

Thanks for your kind words! I used to be seriously underweight when i was younger, now I'm trying to soften up my figure a bit. I wish i could direct the fat to where I need it most, my bony chest. That's one of the reasons I opted for a smaller implant, I've seen some on very lean women where it looked pretty obvious and fake.

I just saw your results and I take it back! you look great and the implants are the perfect size for your shape. You already look like you're at a healthy yet slim weight with natural breasts, also amazing how much softer your ribs look :)

Thank you so much! It might have something to do with the swelling, but I'm amazed by how much less scrawny my chest looks. I'm super happy right now, I can't wait to see the final result. Are you also considering augmentation?

I can't wait to see it either! Keep posting. I am actually considering it, even though my breast look more full, they are still tiny and lack fullness at the bottom, theyre like an A cup. I just never thought i would get breats implants, but i am really torn. At what point where you all in, when did you decide to just go for it?

I've honestly always been insecure about my size, since high school when I realized they weren't getting any bigger. All my friends were buying cute, colorful bras from Victoria's Secret and I was still wearing basically training bras. I had been on a couple consults over the years, but I always had a fear that they wouldn't turn out well and I'd regret it (there are a lot of bad fake boobs out there). I found a really well-respected surgeon when I moved to Denver and decided it was time. After almost 20 years I still wanted them, so why not? I would give it a lot of thought though, it is costly and there are always risks involved. Make sure its worth it to you.

Thanks that's great advice! I basically always felt like you, and i think your fears have been quelled since your breasts look absolutely amazing ;)

My breasts looked a lot like yours before my implants. I went with 410cc and think they're a nice size.

First, a little about me. I've always been thin...

ChannnerrrJune 10, 2016

First, a little about me. I've always been thin and very small-chested, and the older I got the more I wanted a softer, more feminine shape. I generally wore a 34A, but I often couldn't even fill that. I finally took the plunge! I chose 255cc, because I wanted a very natural look. Trying on the sizers, even those felt huge. They explained that the end result would be a bit smaller. Leading up to the surgery I started to worry that I had actually gone too small, and that the size difference wouldn't be worth it. It's still very early, but I'm confident that that is definitely not the case :)

Post-surgery was very uncomfortable. I had kind of a stinging pain between my breasts, felt incredibly sore and groggy. Once I was a little more lucid I just wanted to get the F out of there and go home to bed. They gave me valium while I was in recovery, which seemed to help. Once I got home, I had a snack (I was STARVING), a percocet, an anti-nausea medication and was able to nap for a little while. I had to sit almost completely upright with the help of pillows. The Percocet helped A LOT. After I woke up, I had to have my boyfriend help me up (which he still is, its painful to get up without assistance), and I was able to walk around, go to the bathroom, have something to eat, etc. It's now been about 3 hours since I got home, and I honestly feel loads better already. Just laying in bed, I feel fine and want to get up and do stuff, but if I try reality smacks me down.

The boobs look GREAT!! They are swollen, rock hard, and riding high, but I am super optimistic that they will settle into a nice shape. I'm really happy about the size as well. I can't wait to continue healing.

I had mostly a good night's sleep, even though I was propped up on 3 pillows. I woke up feeling really sore, I guess because the meds had worn off by then. My boyfriend had already gone to work by then, so I had to get up by myself, which was painful. I took a two Percocets after food, which helped a lot but also made me pretty loopy.

Here's a tip: if you are going to be alone during the early days of your recovery, put your meds in ziploc bags or another easy-to-access container. Apparently, opening the childsafe lids uses your chest muscles, and it HURTS!

Today, though, I've felt mostly fine. I'm still taking painkillers every 6 hours or so, but I've been up and around. I walked the dog, went to the movies, and finally got to take a shower. It felt amazing.

Visually, there isn't a big change in my boobs. They felt more swollen on the top earlier, I used some arnica gel which seemed to help. I also switched from the support garment they gave me to one of my sports bras, which is a lot more comfortable. I'm hoping to be able to go out and be more active tomorrow.
