WORTH IT$5,800

Im flat as a pancake and have been wanting breast augmentation for quite sometime now. Im giving my self Boobies for my birthday this year. I'm 24 with no kids, 5 feet 5 and weight about 133 (and hopping to be more toned by my BA).


I barely fit a 32 A in VS =[ and im hoping to be at least a full C/small D. When I had my consultation I tried on 450cc hp and 475cc mod+ sizers and I am torn between the two. My ribcage size is about 28 and i dont want side boobage at all nor to be top heavy.I'm bringing my man to my pre-op so he can help me choose between the two since I know he will be honest. I'm iffy on the highprofile since i dont want my boobs to look too fake and have that really round shaped fake boobs. My PS said he's doing it under the muscle and the incision will be inframammary. Mentor Silicone but not sure what profile I will be going for.


Still a little over a month till i finally get it done and Im getting boob obsess by the day. A little nervous but cant wait to get it over with already but at the same time scared about getting capsular contraction >_<
Any suggestions on what vitamins or things to take before my surgery?

Hello, i am in the IE and I am going eith Dr. Della Bennett. I am getting 450 cc HP silicone under the muscle. I am 5'3 115 and my ribcage is 28 as well. All the consults I have been on said that because my chest is narrow, high profile is the best for me because mod is a little wider and I will have more 'side boob'. My surgery is 4850. I went on about 6-7 consults before choosing my surgeon. My criteria is high because I am a nurse and Dr Bennett met all my criteria, not to mention ALL her reviews are 100% of her patients would recommend her and her reviews are AMAZInG. You should check her out! Her office staff is wonderful as well! If you do consult with her tell her that Maranda Thompson referred you. :) Who is ur PS? Wish you the best of luck :)

Thank you.

Go with the profile your doc suggests! I'm getting HP's and was nervous and told my doc I "think" I want mod +. Once he explained to me why that profile I felt so much better! All of my friends who have had a BA have told me let ur doc pick the profile, he knows best :)

thanks i cant wait till my pre op to finally decide.

I almost always use HP Mentor implants. You look like have a very narrow chest and that would be my pic. I am convinced CC is caused by minor infection and I start all my breast augs on Cipro 2 days before surgery and 5 days after. I have almost no CC in last 8 years!!

You are so small you will probably have to get hp . That's what I just got and I want the same look your going for . Just waiting for mine to drop . But I defiantly think I will be happy with the hp. So far so good.

they gave me 410 mod sientra [same as mod+ mentor] and said anything more than that i have to get HP I dont want to go too small though so im still undecided on the size.

Went to my pre-op 2 weeks ago...let me just say it...

Went to my pre-op 2 weeks ago...let me just say it was pretty nerve-wrecking for me [writing the check included lol]. I was getting nervous with all the instructions she was giving me and information with after the surgery. the brand they will be using is called Sientra. tried on sizers and decided on 410 mod [their mod profile is the same as mod+ from mentor] but im not sure if i want to get 450 hp if that will make a big difference...my BWD is 13 so anything more than 400 it has to be HP...i dont want to go to small and regret and it be too big for my body frame and be too top heavy, so im more confused than ever and my surgery is in less than 2 weeks. Ill give them a call this week to talk again with the sizes. Is 450 hp and 400 mod + make a big difference?

My ps suggested that i stop taking my birth control to prevent clotting. has anyone had that suggestion too? need to do blood work this week and fill up my prescription since i wont have time that week of my surgery. I'm a little bummed about not being able to take my pre work out drink since it helps me workout harder. i want to tone up more since Ill be MIA at the gym for atleast 3 weeks.

OMG how exciting! It's nice to find someone on here that is my age and doesn't have kids. May I ask if there were any other reasons why you decided to get your BA now instead of waiting until after you have kids (If you even plan on having kids lol). I want to get mine done too but I'm not really settled in yet (military thing) and I would prefer to get them done after I have kids but I don't want to start a family until I'm at least 30...6+ yrs is a long time to wait for boobs :/
April 8, 2013
I'm not planning to have kids anytime soon, maybe when i'm also in my 30's so might as well look good now rather than wait till i have kids to have boobs. one of my friends got her boobs than 4 years ago and recently had kids and she said it didnt do any significant difference after her baby and was able to breast feed [her incision was through her nipple]...so i suggested get them now and be selfish and buy all the pretty clothes you cant fill in before =]

So exciting! I can't wait to see your results! The birth control thing makes sense. My surgeon asked if I was on birth control but because I have an IUD, it wasn't an issue. The hardest part is the wait! I'm two weeks away too and I want to do it now!

I know the wait is the killer part of it.

kayveexo
Now that my date is getting closer I'm debating if I should get more than 400cc and my ps said if I do it has to be HP...I called them last Thursday asking if I can change my mind on going with 410 mod Sientra I didn't talk to my ps but his assistant that handles the pre op things and she called me back saying he will order 405 435 and 465...he will try to fit the most he can. I'm just worried if he can only fit 435 the width of the implant is 12 and my bwd is 13 and I don't want that gap in my boobs with 2 balls just hanging there. My bf is prolly getting annoyed by my indecisiveness. Poor thing but he is being really supportive through out all this. I'll have a talk with my ps on Tuesday and I'm worried that if I decide to stick with 400 cc they will have to order it and it won't be delivers in time by Thursday on my surgery date =[ aaaahhh

I'll be filling up my prescription today, my insurance doesn't cover it though. Not looking forward paying for it since I already paid for my blood work done too.
