Hey guys! Well I'm not exactly new here. I found this site a few weeks back and I have been following everyone's story! Including the good the bad and the ugly! I am in the Tampa Florida area by the way!. I am 22 years old turning 23 in a few months and then 20 days after my birthday I am getting my boobs! I am 5"4 115 pounds and between a AA and an A. To the people who think they are completely flat chested. You guys haven't seen flat until you have seen me! I'm like a boy! Anyways I scheduled a few consultations about two weeks ago and I went with my first dr. Dr Eberbach. I got a lot of recommendations from many people I work with . Him and his staff were pretty awesome and his office had a 3D photo taker! So my boobs were put on the computer and they played with sizing. My desired result is a Full C small D. I don't want anything to huge and unnatural. And luckily I do have enough breast tissue to cover a 415ccs silicone! He said any bigger would be a very bad idea! So I've done sooooooo much research the past few months and I have sooooo many boobs on my phone. I have the boobs I want and the boobs the scare the crap out of me! apparently he has to lower my almost none existent breast crease so I'm afraid of the double bubble. Also my frame is way too small for moderate implants so I have to do high profile. Which I hope doesn't look to unnatural. And I wanted to to a arieolar(excuse my spelling) incision but he told me I will get a higher chance of capsular contraction because milk glands contain bacteria. Oh and thank goodness he us using the Keller funnel so my incision, which will be under the boob, will be as small as a saline incision! If you don't know what a Keller funnel is look it up on YouTube! It's freaking awesome! Anyways I know it's four months from now but I'm sure I will have plenty things to talk about :)

So I have a few worries about this surgery. I was wondering if a lot of females got stretch marks from implants. I'm asking the girls who started from nothing. My family is really prone to stretch marks. And me. Also my doctor told me he has to lower my breast crease. Have a lot of you had that done and got any symptoms of the double bubble?

I went from a large A/small B to a DD. 550cc HP I also have a small frame 5'3" 115 lbs. I used cocoa butter religously during my pregnancy (I gained 65 lbs), I don't have a stretch mark on me......I also have been using it on my boobs since 2 weeks prior to my BA 3-4 x a day. No signs of stretch marks yet. I'm only 11 days PO, but I really don't think I'll get any. And trust me when I say my implants are the biggest my PS could fit in me.... Good Luck!!!

What size is your ribcage? I'm smallish myself and have to decide ASAP on my size because my surgery is in 2 weeks- I want the look of the moderates but my PS said he mostly does HPs so now I'm nervous. I think my ribcage is 27" and we have similar stats

I'm not sure how to measure my ribcage . I measured a 32 A but I think that is plus 4 inches so that means my ribcage is about 28 inches

So I know a lot of people are good money wise for getting a breast augmentation. But for you get people like me , money can sorta be a issue. So what I did was instead of planning my surgery right after consultation, I made it a later date so I knew for sure I could afford it. I got my calculator out and I divided my income up and included the payments I was already making and set myself a budget. So every week I put the amount of money I need into a saving account to reach that goal and I leave enough money for myself to live off of. Of course if you are trying to save money it is unwise to splurge and go clothes shopping and go out to eat everyday of the week. Only use the money you need. you can splurge on your boobs after the surgery!!!!!

EBAY! eBay is my favorite thing right now because I just sold a bunch of unwanted and unused items and I made about 400 bucks in two weeks doing that. Now 400 isn't a lot but still, I think every dollar counts toward your goal. So sell stuff like unused electronics or clothes. I sold a bombshell bra for 15 bucks and unused hair extensions for 80. People will buy anything. Plus if its around the house collecting dust then why not do something with it.

Platos closet. I don't know if everybody had this store around them or not but this is a nice store to sell clean stylish clothes that you have really worn. So far I have cleaned out my closet and I have almost two bags of clothes that I can get something for. Also if you have clothes that you can't sell but it is nice and clean and still wearable you can always donate it instead of throwing it out. Donating for me always makes me feel good and happy that I'm giving clothes to someone who can't really afford nice things. :)

Ok last thing!! If your birthday is coming up! Plan your surgery after your birthday. I'm pretty sure you can convince your friends to give you cash or Victoria secret gift cards! That's what I'm hoping for! Lol

I hope this helped a few people!!!!!! - love me
