I'm so nervous to go through with breast implant...
WORTH IT$5,000
I'm so nervous to go through with breast implant surgery. I have always felt embarrassed of how flat chested I am. I've considered getting implants for a long time but have only recently done research an had a consultation. The consultation was awesome an made me feel more sure about it. I feel more comfortable about it an I saw 3d images which really made me want to do it more! I love my body everything about it is great to me except for the one thing that matters most in my head is my boobs. Which are non exsistant :( I want to get them but am so afraid of something bad to happen:0 like what If I die under anesthesia! Or if I get a diesease after or the incision not heal right! Or if I look just plain ridiculous with fake boobs:( if any one has any advice for me at all I would greatly appreciate it! I need help deciding, however I know it all up to me in the end.

Well I'm still saving my money for my procedure so...
Well I'm still saving my money for my procedure so there's no set date yet ;/ but I can't wait! About $2,000 more to go. Everyday it gets worse though when I look at my flat chest ;( I don't know how my guy thinks I'm sexy lol but he loves me for me so that's awesome! He doesn't care if I get them or not, he thinks I'm perfectly fine the way I am, but I just can't wait to feel good in a swim suit an in bras an etc., to feel like a WOMAN instead of a little boy is gonna be amazing :) I believe I'm going with silicone gel implants, but still undecided on what size an how many cc's , I barely fit a 32A an I'm so skinny people think I'm sick an need to eat more;( so I don't want them to look too extremely fake. I really want them to look natural but still biggish lol

Just make sure you chose a size based on what YOU actually want. It is easy to look at other people's results and get confused or worry about picking the wrong size. You and your doctor know best. I went with a small cc amount and do not regret it! I did have a lot of doubts before hand because I would compare myself with other girl's profiles. Just make sure you stay true to what you actually want. It's easy to get carried away :)

Thank you! You are so right! I do compare myself to others thinking If mine will look like that but I know each individual results vary! I'm so tempted to do a C cup but my family an friends think that may be too big ;/ so I may just do a B cup if possible

Hi, I just wanted to stop by and say you already appear to be a very pretty girl and should really go for the size that you want! If you want to be a C, go for it!! I think a C will look very nice on you and bc this a substantial investment, YOU should be pleased with your results. Believe me when you first get them they may appear big but I assure you that you will get use to them very quickly and you dont want to have any regrets when really seem to already know what you truly want. Good Luck, keep us posted;)

Oh my gosh thank you so much for the comment!! I appreciate the input an advice! I do believe most of all ill get the size I want for sure!:) instead of listening to everyone else around me. It my body an I wanna be happy with it!:) how Are you liking yours?
May 27, 2013
I am absolutely loving mine;) I so understand what you are going through and I have a close friend who has them, that is quite attractive I must add so I respect her opinion on look, but tried her best to get me to go with a smaller implant. Ultimately I chose what I liked on me! So when you go to get sized forget about cc and choose what makes you the hottest and most comfortable!!lol;)
May 30, 2013
Wonder why she tried to get your to go with smaller implants ? But you look great with the ones you got for sure ! I'm so nervous to finally make my appointment! I can't wait to try on sizers an see what makes me feel hottest!

So close to having enough money!
:)I'm so excited!!! I am so close! I pretty much have the money now to get my breasts! Lol I just need a little bit more to have for after so I'm not completely broke!;) I'm tempted to make my appointment now but not sure if I should wait to set the date when I have more than enough to get them! Or how far in advance they book up. I know I want to do silicone under the muscle but not sure what size!:0 the dr said we could do a full C cup, but some of my friends an family think a full C cup will look way too big on me with my flat chest an tiny body but can they even do a B cup? Will that be enough to cover the scar of the incision under the breast? I don't wanna go too small an wish I had got them bigger :/ but then again anything more then what I have now will be awesome! Also has anyone heard of this "dual plain" placement? Where the implant is half under the muscle an half not? So it's kind of tear drop shaped an more natural looking? The dr had mentioned this

Id make sure I go to the PS and do lots of fittings. Wear a lite color shirt and take lots of pics. I personally dont think a C cup would be too big. You look tall so from my readings tall girls eat up cc's. Compare girls roughly your size and height bring lots of wish boob pics. Dont discuss sizing with friends and family they will only confuse you. You are the one who has to live with them. The PS is the expert so leave those questions for him once you figure out the look you want.You arent saving all this money to make others happy. Dont even focus on cc's just looks because as we all know cc's fit on individuals bodies differently. Good Luck.

Thankyou maybaby , i appriciate the feedback alot. Well I'm about 5'3 an i weigh 100 pounds so I don't feel too tall I kinda feel short but hopefully the c cup on me will look porporionate. I know I need to focus on what I want an stop asking others for opinions. Because after all it is my body yes an I will be the one wearing them haha:) I can't wait to finally have boobs! So ill make sure to bring a light colored shirt an maybe my swimsuit ? I heard that was good to bring as well. I also don't know if I should go for the more rounded look or pointy look. I'm reading that the high profile implants are more pointy an the moderates are wider?
May 27, 2013
Well Id say you are average height def not tall. (you look tall in the pic LOL) Ok so back to the original question size and profile. It all goes back to finding pics (wish boobs) to show your PS he will find the perfect match for you. Focus on the look you want bring in those pics and the PS will figure it out. I told the PS what I wanted and he did all the decisions for me then I went back looked at pics and on the day of surgery said ok this is is doc this is what I want to look like and we discussed size and it was a done deal. It is the job of a good PS to choice the right profile for you again in accordance to what you want. Once you show the PS what you want ask him what profile he suggests and I would follow his advise. Not to say only his point of view matters but there is alot to consider when deciding a profile. I hope this helps.
May 27, 2013
The high profile will give you more projection than a moderate profile. The diameter of the mods are going to be wider than a higher profile. Its like a trade off. You either get a wider diameter and a lower implant, or a smaller diameter and a higher or taller implant. Take a look at the post I made on my profile if you'd like. I wrote about this topic today. Might help a bit.

Try to take a look on the mentor web site and click on " love your look". It really helped me to see girls with breasts like mine and how they ended up looking with different sized implants. Most importantly cut out looks you like from magazines and print stuff off the web. That way you and your surgeon have a clear understanding of what you want. I steered towards the slightly smaller end of implant size I could have. Many reasons being a. Looking more natural. B. In future if revision is required I have more ccs to go to without being too big. C. Less tissue atrophy so hopefully my boobs will look better for longer. D. Morr chance of retaining nipple sensation. ..which I had from first day luckily. And E. I still wanted to be able to buy standard sizes without heading towards E cup and beyond. But remember this was only my choice. I prefered the mod plus profile as it looked more natural. Once again , its always your choice and your body. By guided by your instincts.....you're usually right. Good luck and hope we can help in a small way hugs Shelly xoxo

Yes thank you! It helps a lot! I have a whole album of WISH boobs! Lol Do you think it helps more to have naked boob pictures like before an afters of others? Because I have a mixture of those and pix of boobs in bras an swimsuits an clothes, they're some more on the natural side an some on the "i have implants " side lol stil unsure of what I wanna look like :/ but thanks again! I sure the PS will chose the appropriate size an profile for my tiny frame.
May 28, 2013
Thanks dkhoney! That's what I thought, it looks that way. Still not sure which I'd choose, do I want them to poke out more or be wide? I don't wanna look heavy I wanna look proportionate
May 28, 2013
Oh Shelly thanks so much babe! I can't tell you how much that helps me! I checked the love my look site it was great! Still looking too! I have a huge wish boob album that I have shown my PS and have added many more clothed an unclothed. Not sure if you can tell with the ones that have clothes on but hope he can see the look I really want! I can't find anyone that has my same height an weight however lol that's the hardest part trying to compare to someone almost like me. I'm 5'3 an 100 pounds. I do want to stay on the natural side no bigger than a C cup I'm thinking.
May 28, 2013
Dont worry so much about profile that is actually the PS's job. Just make sure he has a clear idea on your wishes and you'll be fine. Id have a lot of naked pics too. Even if the girls are not your stature the look will still help (remember you will not really compare the size more the look) Some one who has 300 can go to a D and someone else may need 500. Just focus on look and the PS will come up with cc's and profile. Good Luck
May 29, 2013
Im glad the web site helped you. Getting the size right was one of the things that did my head in. Its Also amazing how ccs look different on everyone. Your doctor should have a good idea if you take lots of naked and bikini pics. Good luck with it all. Cheers shell.

I used Dr. Paul Fortes in Houston and he is terrific. I am 10 days post op and doing great.
Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. The 3D images are great. Going to multiple consultations, like Violet1234 mentions, will help give you a more clear vision of what you feel comfortable doing. Did you get to try on sizers at your consult? Feel free to asks lots of questions...we're here to guide and support you!
Glad RealSelf is helpful to you! One young woman suggested bringing your swimsuit top to your pre op. She wished she had done that as she felt she went a little large for her petite figure. (I don't think 350 cc's is to much for you.) If you haven't already, be sure to bring photos to your future consults. If you can, bring photos you like and don't like! Here is a list of questions to ask during your consults. Keep us posted!
