Well I have always wanted 2 have a ba done. I have always been very small chested even after having 2 kids. 1st let me tell u about myself I'm 41 yrs old and married with 2 grown kids. I'm 5'3 125 pounds and very small up top as far as bra size goes I wear a 34 a which I could get by without even wearing one at all. So far I have had 3 consults with different drs n my area and and I liked them all but I have chosen 2 go with dr. Emerson at piedmont plastic surgery n Gastonia nc. And the reason 4 my decision was because I felt that at my consult he really listened and understood the size and look I want 2 achieve. I'm going 4 a very natural look not 2 fake but I want 2 know that I have had it done also. At my consult we discussed saline and silicone and I have decided with silicone per my dr because I have very little breast tissue 2 work with. As far as size or should I say cc that's a whole different story I'm so confused about all this I know the size I want which is a c cup but when I tried on the cc implants they all looked so huge on me. I guess since I have never had any boobs everything is gonna look huge. I just don't want 2 b disappointed after surgery and say I wish I would have went bigger or vise versa say I wished I would have went smaller. Anyway I have my pre op app feb 18th and I guess then I can really decide on the right size 4 my body frame. My surgery date is feb 27th and I'm already freaking out. My husband tells me that I'm stressing over nothing but I just can't help it. I have done a lot of research in ba and have had a few friends that have had it done but it's still very scary 2 me. I know once it's over with I will love them and b glad that I went through with it but until then I will just keep freaking out.

Your nervousness is very normal! It's good in that it means that you're not going into this lightly. Here's a good review to check out about breast augmentation in case you haven't read it before.

Please keep us posted!

Hello! Welcome!! I know that you are excited! I am 5'3" and around 120lbs. I wore (super padded) 34b bra before my BA 4mo ago. After I had 450cc hp gel implanted, I am now wearing 34D UNpadded bras! I couldn't be happier! I am so glad I went with gel!!I felt a girl who had saline's boobs the other day... They felt like a rock compared to mine! I love them!! Hope you love yours too!!

Jenn - I would bring in pics of your wish boobs on ladies similar in size to you... ccs are different on everyone because you may have extra skin, etc. Go a little bigger than you think (trust me on that one) and enjoy the ride! Your PS should tell you what different profiles will look like on your and which would be the best one. :) xoxo

Well they look great and suit u well. I was thinking mod + profile but I guess when I go next mon 4 my pre op app me and my ps will make the final decision. I think I'm built funny I'm 5'3 and weigh about 125 but like from my collar bone 2 my waist I think is very short if that makes any sense my husband tells me I'm just trying 2 find stuff wrong I'm not really I just want 2 choose the right size and profile for my frame I don't want 2 look 2 top heavy and I don't want my boobs sitting up near my throat either. I will worry my self 2 death the closer it gets 2 my surgery date. This web site and all u lady's have been so helpful 2 me and I appreciate it.

Have you decided on size and profile? I had my BA on Wednesday and worked from home that following Monday but was not that productive. Tuesday I had off thankfully for New Year's Day and by 1 week I was productive again albeit tired for several weeks post op. Good luck! Best thing I ever did for myself!

Well as of 2 day I now have 16 days until the big day I'm super excited. I can't wait until my preop app so I will finally know what size and profile I want 2 go with. I can't seem 2 think about anything here lately but boobs my husband says I'm obsessing over this but I'm just excited is all. But don't get me wrong I'm still very very nervous. I just hope I get the results that I want. I know it's gonna take time 4 them 2 soften up and 2 drop n 2 place and I will try and b patient but that's not one of my strong points but I will do my best. However I do feel very good n the dr that I have chosen so that's a good thing right? I will keep everyone updated as the days click by.
