I've read so many reviews on here and I am so...

WORTH IT$4,300
I've read so many reviews on here and I am so happy to have found this site. I'm scheduled Jan 7th, 2014 for my BA. I'm very excited, but absolutely terrified. I have wanted big breasts ever since I was about 3 yrs old I told my family I wanted [RS bleep] like Wonder Woman... Well I didn't get that wish until I was pregnant with my children I LOVED my big breasts. I'm 5'8" and 135lbs. My boobies deflated to about an A :(. I wear mega padded bras and decided that I'm turning 37 this year and it's time to take the plunge. I'm very happy with my body otherwise, but living in the Miami area A. It's hot here and you spend a lot of time at the pool/beach and B. Everyone has had a BA it seems. My boyfriend is extremely supportive, although when I found this site I was on it so much he thought I might be cheating lol... Then I showed him and he's happy that I'm on here learning rather than driving him crazy with my BA obsession. He's going to be there through my journey and will be nursing me back to my old self. I am going to a plastic surgeon who has 20 yrs experience and a friend of mine went to him and he did a fabulous job. Now... I'm an ER nurse and let me tell you the thought of going under anesthesia scares the living day lights out of me. That is my main fear, because I know how codes go and I know human error is a very real thing. Second, I'm terrified of them not "settling" or "double bubble" or the "capsular contracture" or "bottoming out"....I think I've covered the main complications... And if any of these happen then I get to revisit my first fear. WHEW..... That's a load off. I've taken two weeks off from work and have scheduled my surgery the first day of those two weeks. I still haven't bought any bras, but in the midst of Christmas shopping I will take care of that.

I went to two consultations with my surgeon. He's very kind, direct and tells me honestly how the procedure is done in terminology that I understand. I feel that he does this for a living still today because he loves what he does. He recommends mod profile plus 425cc, saline, periariolar. He says that he will attempt to fill to 500cc, but because of my small frame he may not be able to go to that size. I want them as big as he can get them, but I trust him and I don't want my upper range of motion to be affected.

I want Wonder Woman boobies!!! And I'm super excited. This is something I'm truly doing for myself. I've worked very hard to be able to get to a place where I can do it financially and emotionally and I'm hoping by my girls trip, planned in March, to the Keys I can wear and awesome bathing suit... With noooo padding.

I have a few questions.... How did you know what size sports bras to buy? I'm really at a loss for this... My preop is December 23 and I would like to purchase some stuff prior to that. What else should I start accumulating in preparation???

I put up a few "wish" pics.. How many of you had something totally different in your mind from your actual results?
Thanks for listening:)))

So excited for you!!!! Jan 7th can't get here soon enough! I am also a nurse and have finally decided to go through with it after many years of debating whether I should or not. Like the "Wish boob" pic with gray top.

Thanks! I'm scared... And worried about going back to work... I won't be used to having such large boobies and doing everyday nursing stuff...also scared about the pain ;/... I took two weeks... My ps told me thar realistically I should have at least that amount time off...yes if my boobs come out anywhere near that size it's def going to take some getting used to lol

Was with someone last night who had hers (and who looks incredible) done and she said she was in her office doing payroll that night... Ive got Wed-Thursday Fri Sat Sun but then working from home the following week. Tomorrow is the big day... any advice from a nurse???

Just rest and follow their instructions. The surgeon knows what he's doing. That's why I took two full weeks off....I hated to do it but my job can get a little strenuous and very stressful and I see that most of the complications come from that....so I'm looking at it as a long boobie vacay lol

I was still in some pain, mostly on my right side at two weeks. I would say that most of the pain was gone at 4 weeks. I was on extra strength Tylenol at two weeks but still taking the muscle relaxers. Those were my saving grace. It's all fine now though! Buy arnica and turmeric for healing. i like the sports bras at J C Penney. Im in 34G/32GG and the large fits nicely. That said, you won't want it for about 3 weeks as it is a pull over the head king. Get soft, no wire front hook and eye type for your first 2-3 weeks. My Dr said I could get a wired bra at 1 month, but I found I didn't settle into final my size until 8 weeks out. Good luck!

Yes I'm out bra shopping and it's frustrating because I have no idea what to expect... I can hardly find the front hook bras... I heard that the under armor sports bras are good.... Jcpennys has the front hook ones??? Ughhhh lol I like to be super prepared, but how do you prepare for buying big bras when your boobies have been small forever??? Lol... Where did you get the arnica and turmeric? I found smooth move... My BA date is fast ly approaching with Christmas and work and kids!! Lol.

This is very close to what I got from my PS and was in for 4 weeks and available through amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Leading-Lady-Leisure-Comfortable-America/dp/B00EJCM1YS. They put me in a 38C and it worked fine for my recuperation. As for the arnica and tumeric, I picked these up at my local Super Supplements. There are arnica pellets, which I got, but for bruising I swear by Trameel cream. Start putting it on any bruises and they are gone in days. It is an amazing product.

Getting all my boobie supplies...and getting a little freaked out :0

So over the past few days I've been getting all my supplies.... Bras (which is driving me crazy because I have no idea on what's the best or most comfortable or will even fit.) I've had little boobies forever!! I purchased a sitting up pillow at Ross and found smooth move peppermint tea... It seems as if the days are flying by with Christmas shopping... Work... Home... Kids...so much to do and I'm a total planner so if I don't feel like it's just right I get anxious... I go back and forth on if I'm doing the right thing. My gut tells me I am and that my surgeon is going to do a wonderful job. I worry about how people are going to react especially at work where it can be a total gossip mill... I worry about my kids reaction. My son is 10 and my daughter is 6. I have not told them yet because my son hates it when men stare at me now and I don't want my daughter to think that big boobs equal beauty...anyone else felt this way??? It's still so surreal that I'm getting this done. And of course mommy guilt because I'm scared of complications.....just venting. I know what I feel is natural...anyone else feel this way?

I just bought a Fruit of the Loom front close bra at Walmart, bought a 36 size since no 34. Hope it fits. It is so soft and comfy. Paid $10 for it!

I had that one-wish I had bought 2 or more sizes too big. I bought 36 but am 32/34 and it was not comfy around my sternum area. You might like it though.

December 6, 2013
So you think a 38 will be best? I'm def a 34 now but have no idea what to expect
December 7, 2013
I agree. I hope it fits. It stretches quite nicely.

I bought the same bra- normally wear a 32, so I ordered 34, 36, and 38. Even the 38 was too small after surgery! Too tight around the band and was squishing into my swollen ribcage. They have great potential, are soo soft and easy to put on after surgery, but gotta order a few to find the right size. Hope this helps!

I bought a different brand 38 and still wasnt that comfy. I felt better in a sports bra-bandini type bra. I think the pulling of where you hook made my sternum hurt.
December 16, 2013
I'm Jan 7th too, and my fear is also the anesthesia! But EVERY review I have read says the whole surgery experience is nothing to the anxiety and fears we put in our own heads. Still can't help but freak out a little in between excitement! Let's do this together!

I def agree:))) I'm excited!

Wishing you all the best... Mine is close to 2 weeks post. And really unless I decide to flash with a low cut top, I look similar to those old padded bras well two maybe LOL. So it is easy to slowly introduce your new self. I love my result, it is perfect and waht I asked for a natural look that would let me feel good about me. Dont buy many bras Ive been wearing the surgical and one front zip spots bra from under armor (about $50). You do need the front zip for the support. Plus you have swelling and the dropping to wait for. I was an empty padded B cup prior and I'm in a D. I'm stunned as a D always seemed huge and this just feels right and meant to be. I hear you on fear, but it really was the worst part. LOL went for a wax today and it was 100X more painful !!! The Mommy guilt is awful and normal. I kept thinking what if something goes wrong my kids and mine are all 18 or over. My daughter (24) was with me and has had this too 2 yrs ago.... she was saying Mom stop, why are you so nervous this is nothing, when I told her the real reason, she was tearful too.... But enjoy Xmas relax. I should have done this 10 yrs ago...

Thanks:) yes that's what many women that I spoke to here tell me... I'm excited... What size under armor did you get? I'm kind of glad the holidays are here to distract me lol...I'm happy to hear you got through and are feeling great:)))
December 16, 2013
38 C as the D looked just too huge. Normally Id buy a 36 this even was a little tight feeling due to swelling, but it is fine.

Well my new work schedule came out today.. I have I think all the things I need except for new pillows.. I want big fluffy pillows for my bed for after the surgery....Monday is my pre op and time is flying by! I have bought quite a few bras and am interested in the tonserio (sp?) bra??? Is it worth it? It looks like a super comfy bra. I'm decided on my cc size and decided I definitely want between 450 and 500cc. I have always wanted big boobs and being 5'8" I know I can carry them. It's just going to be such a change. I'm very excited and not as nervous as before... I'm just still contemplating on how to tell my children...what have any of you told your kids? My son is 10 and my daughter is 6 and very aware of body image, girls start so young with it...
