I have been researching BA surgery for a few months now. I have contemplated getting the surgery for about 10 years now. I am currently 29 yrs old. Want to get this before I am older so I can enjoy them longer. I always wished that my breasts would be bigger since all the women in my family are well-endowed. I always felt out of place, did not feel feminine or sexy. Well now I am older, more mature, and have the money for it so I am finally going through with it. I am getting my surgery in December and can't wait! I think it's now or never. I hope I won't be disappointed. What a great holiday gift to myself!

So confused!!!

sweetcin02
So I have been doing so much reading about the surgery and the reviews for Natrelle 410s (anatomical implants). I am now confused again. I don't know if this might be what everyone goes through. I am having second thoughts about the procedure and wondering if I should go ahead with it. I guess what worries me the most is the complications and whether they will meet my expectations. Please help! Any advice is welcome!

Pre-Op today!

sweetcin02
I went in for my pre-op today! I was so nervous and anxious. I paid my balance and everything. I had reconsidered the size that the doctor had talked to me about, Moderate profile, moderate projection, 320cc so I asked him if there was any chance that I could get a bigger implant about 350 to make them a little bigger. The problem with the 410s is that they are specific in terms of size and can be visible under skin if you get them too wide. He measured me a few times to test other sizes. He was telling me that 320 was a good size, that I wouldn't be disappointed. He measured again and "compromised" (his words) with moderate profile, full projection, 335ccs. He said it measures the same width wise but will give me slightly more projection. Comparing them side to side it is about a 20% increase which makes me happy so I know and have heard that you lose about 50cc worth of projection when done under the muscle. Now I feel more at ease about my decision. I was really impressed with him and appreciated his dedication to making me feel happy with my decision. I trust his judgement and now feel more comfortable with going through my surgery. I had to reschedule my surgery due to some unforseen circumstances but pushed it back only 2 days, so now my surgery date is set for 12/13/13. I will update more as I get the day draws closer. Also my PS stated that I didn't need pre-op labs or EKG since I am healthy and young.
Just need to fill my prescriptions and pick up some Colace for constipation (which I am prone to during stressful times) and bromelain for inflammation! 7 more days left!
