My BA is scheduled for January 10th. O a, 5'11" and around 140 pounds. No children yet. I am nervous and excited all at once. I have always had smaller breasts and very self conscious about them when i was younger. Always buying padded bras to make them appear larger. Been with my husband now for almost 18 years and of course he was always supportive if i wanted to have BA, but i was honestly always to scared and worried about the pain, anesthesia or what if they didn't turn out how i expected. Doing my best to focus on how amazing they will look. This website has helped me a lot seeing others having some of the same feelings as me. My friends all said they had those feelings too even up to morning of surgery. I have been looking online for awhile, spoke to a few offices and found an office we flew to have a consultation with. I live in Oklahoma and having BA done in Houston, Texas. We were able to do the pre-op consultation over the phone and we fly down Tuesday for another consultation for me to try sizes on one more time day before surgery. I am a small B cup. I had told my surgeon i was wanting small D, but the more i look at photos of other ladies similar in body size to me, i think maybe i need to go bigger. The assistant said most women on survey say they wish they would have gone up a little more. This is why i want to try on again. Dr. suggested 485cc & 450cc to correct uneven breasts. I wanted to be more rounded on top and he suggested high profile gel implants. The assistant told me the other day that they increase by 10% adding the cc's in and its about like a shot glass amount doing that. I am thinking maybe 20% more would put me into a full D. If anyone has any feedback on if they went up or wish they would have please share!

I am a 34b post and got 450cc implants dec 28, 2017. I was so nervous about anesthesia and being put to sleep, I cried Right before my surgery and tested before they put me to sleep. What did help me feel less anxious was checking my family history if anyone had been put under and many in my family had and we’re fine on both sides. I also asked my anesthesiologist plenty of questions and loved his answers. Everything went well and I didn’t even feel nauseated after. :)

Thank you for sharing! I warned my husband to be prepared for tears before and after waking up. To just hold me and be there for me. I have had anesthesia before and did fine and my mom has numerous times for her heart and also she had a BA long time ago and all is well. Are your before and after BA on the website?

Oh you will be perfectly fine then. Just make sure your surgery is at a reputable place and they have an anasthesiologist watching you separate from the doctor. No I haven’t posted anything about my BA journey. But I will post my before and post 2 week soon :) I’ll try to do in in next few days!

Staff was amazing and helped calm my nervousness. And my husband helped me tremendously in calming down and being there. I got changed into my gown. Dr came in and drew some lines on me then off to the surgery room. I wasn’t under very long at all. It was less than an hour. I was emotional waking up from anesthesia. Major pressure in my chest and some sharp pains underneath under implants. Have to move them every 30 minutes in the pockets and geeze that hurts. Husbands been keeping timer for me and massaging for me.
