On my Way to Feeling Like a Woman Instead of a 12 Year Old! - Houston, TX
Welp Hello! I don't really know how to start this...
Welp Hello! I don't really know how to start this off so I'll just jump on into it. I'm 19 years old, 5'9" and 145 lbs with a bra size of 36 A.. barely. I have the problem where my bra sticks out farther than my boobs do so you can see the bra more than my boobs. Pretty embarassing. I've thought about getting a breast augmentation ever since I knew what it was my freshman year in high school. Then it was only because I was tired of all of my peers making fun of me and my flat chest but now it's graduated to something more, I want to feel like a woman and not a 12 year old. It's about how I feel about myself, not what other people say, however to this day (I'm a sophomore in college) people still make comments about how little my boobs are. I've researched and researched and I know this is what I want. Am I nervous? Of course! But am I excited? Absolutely! My mom had her first breast augmentation when she was 22 and was so happy she did it so she's guiding me along this process and is my main supporter. Of course she would rather me be comfortable in my own body without the surgery, but she understands that's a difficult thing to do. My boyfriend is also supportive but is worried something will happen during the surgery or after but he knows it's want I want. Event though he said he loves mine just the way the are, he wouldn't mind seeing bigger boobs either ;)
I've had surgery before so I know the anesthesia won't have too bad of an effect on me, but I'm really worried about the pain. I'm a sissy and don't handle pain very well. Thank God I'm doing it over Christmas break though so I will have a month off from school to recoup. My mom, grandma, and boyfriend will rotate taking care of me so I'm pretty spoiled when it comes to that.
He recommended I get the silicon gummy bear implants, dual plane technique, inframammery incison which is pretty much along the lines of what I was thinking. I originally wanted saline but I just don't think they fee or lookl as natural and the risk of rippling would drive me crazy. I am nervous about the silicon implants though in case of rupture, but the new gummy bear ones are supposed to stay pretty much to form in the rare case they do. I don't want all of those toxins leaking inside my body!! In terms of size, I want very natural looking full C, lower end of D. I'm taller than 90 percent of girls and am kind of broad shouldered so I know my body will look good with that size. Dr. Basu agreed and that's the size he recommended as well. I just scheduled my surgery yesterday for December 19th and I already know that feels like a million days away! The time won't pass fast enough. I'm excited to be able to wear cute shirts and tank tops that fit! Now I'm counting down to my pre-op then surgery!! Ahhh :))
FYI. The reason I'm having the surgery so young is why wait?! They won't get any bigger and I'm not getting any younger so bring on a full chest!! :)

Thank you for your comment and the encouraging words! I'm about to go read your story lol
Thank you so much for starting your story on RealSelf! I totally thought you had to be 22 to get silicone implants, but maybe the gummy bears are different?
It sounds like you've really thought about this and done your research. It's great that your mom is so supportive!
