A little about me.
I have always been so very "flat" to the point that people would point it out to me (like I didn't already know). Since childhood I've never been comfortable with my body, I hated buying bras because what was the point, they never fit me. When I was younger I would apologize to anyone taking off my top, as it was vastly different once my bra was taken off. That was usually after the bra hit the floor with a thud because of the water implants I had stuffed in there... Lol...If I ever bent over in front of anyone I always had a hand on my chest, as the second I bent over my bra would gap open and my nipples would be on full view. In yoga in certain poses my top with gap open as well and I'd have to hide the fact that I had nothing to keep the top tight enough from doing that. Don't even get me started on bathing suits, I had to buy the smallest top they had and sew in pads, or buys the ones that were super padded but 80$!
If my arms went over my head I look like a boy with just nipples, it's very hard to have private time with my husband when I feel so ashamed of my body. It's such a big turn off. I was always trying to hide them, even going on holidays with family I'd leave my bra on till the last possible second, then wake up and put it on right away so no one saw how flat and pathetic I really was.....
Finally my husband and I discussed after our boys are old enough handle things on their own that it was time. Time to feel like a woman should, time to be proud of my body and time to buy adult sized bras!!!
I booked my first appointment with a family friend plastic surgeon , I think that appointment was 15 minutes long, consisted of him asking me saline or silicone. He asked me to lift up my top, didn't touch me, and told me I could pull off any size, handed me a card with his price hastily written on it, that was it ..... Well gee thanks...
So appointment #2, the doctor was amazing. I had a full hour appointment with him where he went over the pros and cons of the 3 implants he offered. Then he marked me up and said because of my "no volume" told me the anatomical would work best on me to achieve my natural look that I wanted. We would talk sizes the next appointment. After i had a half hour appointment with his assistant, who talked prices (which were printed off and on professional paper) and made sure i didn't have any other concerns...
So I went home and found this amazing site that let me view pictures of people and their stories and it really helped me out a lot.... I now know what I'm getting myself into. The price of beauty hey?

Sizing appointment
So I had my sizing appointment yesterday. The doctor picked out 5 sizes that he thought would look good on me. I tried them all on and of course liked the biggest one the best. Since I'm getting the allergan 410's, there's only so many sizes that would fit my body.
So we decided between two sizes 375cc MF and 420cc MF. I was toying between the two, I really wanted the 420 cc's, but it will JUST fit my frame and may stick out a bit...so he's going to see while in surgery if it will work, if not then I'll get the 375cc's. Either way I'm getting boobs! The assistant went over all my drugs that I will be getting and what to do before hand. I'm not nervous at all, I'm so excited to finally be able to feel sexy!!!
By the way I forgot to mention I'm 30 years old with a 3yr and 5yr old boys.
I'm booked and partially paid for the jab 9th appointment. My husband has taken a couple days off and my sister will be coming by to help as much as possible.
My husband wants to take the boys swimming tonight but I really don't want to put on my tiny swim suit top and feel pathetic when I see a 13 year old with bigger breasts then I have..... Oh well less the a month to go!!
The count down is on, let the house cleaning begin!

Hi there! I completely understand your predicament! I have also gone through all feelings of loathing the fact that I was not fortunate enough to develop fully. It took me all this time to finally decide to do it! I am so glad that you booked your appointment. Jan 9th may seem like a long time from now but time will fly so make sure to get all your stuff ready. Mine is on Friday and I am just trying to get little last minute things. I look forward to reading your progress.

How did your surgery go? Are you happy with the size? So happy for you, I'm beyond excited for jan 9th!

Hi, it's like reading my own story, kindof :) I'm also 5'7", 112 lbs, very slim build, and NO breasts to speak of - my daughter has always referred to them as my "bee stings". I've dealt with this during my life not by apologising, but by a "F.Y." attitude. I have successfully breast-fed two children, I never wear padded anything, I wear sports swimsuits, etc. I have really, really tried to break my conditioning and have flatly refused to be made to feel "un-feminine" or "un-sexy". And I failed - I've always been jealous/envious of other women's breasts, no matter how hard I tried not to be. My husband has always been incredibly supportive ("anything more than a handful is a waste", etc) but ... BUT! And to add insult to injury, as the years passed my tiny breasts sagged and flattened.
I was 60 yrs old this year, and I have just bought myself a pair of breasts, 175cc silicon gel. Might not sound like much to you, but they look absolutely massive to me. I am 3 days post-op, still somewhat gobsmacked that I finally did it, and I love them.
You might be interested to hear that my surgeon tried out 200cc implants on the op. table, and decided that they were, in fact, too large. It really does depend on one's frame.
Do I wish I'd done it sooner? I've always had a love/hate relationship with my breasts, but nevertheless they have served me very well. I don't like the idea of forcing my body to live long-term with foreign objects, so yes, I did delay surgery to the "last moment", as it were. If implant life were longer, or there were less risks attached (eg. capsular contracture etc) then yes, I definitely would have done it years ago.
I wish you well, I'm glad for you that you've made the "leap". But never forget that your opinion of yourself / your breasts is only a matter of conditioning - you are not defined by your cup size. Be true to you!

Hi. Was wondering where you went to have your surgery? I'm also 60 and have always hated my breasts (or lack of). I have been debating having surgery done in Costa Rica because of the costs, but if I can have it done reasonably in the U.S. I would do it here. Thanks for any info.

I just read this and think I kinda fell in love with you as a person. I can only hope to have that attitude and self assurance :) congrats on the new breasts!

Hi. Sorry to tell you that I live in Germany, so had it done here. Please don't let price be your guide, it's my experience in life that you get what you pay for. FWIW, I paid Euro 6,500, which is ca. US $8,850 (ouch). No, it wasn't the cheapest (or the most expensive), but I chose the surgeon I felt most comfortable with. Which is what I think everyone should do.

Hi. Ur experience sounds horrible. Im soru u had to go thru all that. Feeling bad about ur body and all.
Have u considered going w High Profile implants? Im also 5'7 but im about 155lbs or so and i was afraid MF would make me look wider up top. So i went 450 cc HP and 500cc HP. Just a thought. ?
Pls keep us updated

Hi, I wanted a more natural+ look and this is what my doctor suggested, I'm trusting him 100% to give me what will look great for my body.
It was tough growing up not loving your body, but I got over it and figured out ways around it. I'm just happy we can afford to change the one thing about my body i can't change!
December 15, 2013
Funny that you mention people pointing out your "flatness". That is just wrong! And I know because (at 34) my mom would joke about me not yet needing a training bra. Well, pretty soon you will have fantastic boobs and will have to get used to all of the compliments!
December 22, 2013
Haha I know right? I remember walking down he street when I was 18 all done up nice and pretty,. We passed these two guys who I heard say " wow that chick is flat"..... Ugh some people. I'm looking forward to people noticing my breasts and not my lack there of!....

The countdown is on, 3 weeks to go!
The clock is slowly ticking down! I've cleared my closet of all the clothes that just fit now, probably wasn't the smartest thing as I took a trip to Florida and only had long sleeve shirts! Lol.
I've asked most of my friends and family who have implants on their thoughts about size and their recovery. Everyone was happy with their size that they decided on and everyone's recovery was different. My sister never took a Tylenol and was fine after 3 days whereas my aunt was 1 week on meds. So I'm hoping for the best but preparing for the worst.
I bought a huge bottle of Tylenol, face wipes,a heavy oil for stretch marks, I have all the shows marked on Netflix and anything else I could think of to make my go a little easier! (I know I'm a little over prepared) I've gotten my blood work done already, so I don't get busy and forget!
I know my husband will be a gem through all of this and he is more then Excited to rub the oil all over my new boobies! Recovery should hopefully be a breeze with him by my side helping with the kids and cooking the meals.
I will post my current boobie pictures soon!
