My consultation with Dr. Fleming isn't until...
$6,400
My consultation with Dr. Fleming isn't until January 5, but I can't seem to stay off this website. It's been incredibly useful in my research. I have read so many good reviews on Dr. Fleming, and with all of his experience I'm really hoping I feel comfortable using him. I breastfed three children for a total of almost five years, plus I workout a lot. I'm 5'2", weigh 125 pounds, and have about 15% body fat. I'm very concerned with being able to continue working out with implants. I do Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, intense circuit training (including plenty of chest work), and enjoy yoga a couple of times a week. With as little body fat as I have and as small as my breasts are I know that I won't be able to go over the muscle, and I'm really worried about the deformation of implants during exercise with going under the muscle. Anyone in a similar position, please feel free to comment! I am very excited to get boobs, but also nervous and not wanting to regret anything. I am going for a very modest size though, my husband is more of an ass man and doesn't prefer big breasts anyway (which would look ridiculous on me). Thanks for any input anyone has! :)

My concern was the same. I'm not as fit as you - I'm 5'9 150 with 21% body fat, but am an avid yoga practitioner. I read a lot of conflicting opinions on this procedure and ultimately went through with it.
It hurts like hell. Today is day 3 post op and I think that because I have such strong pecs, that made it worse. I also had to have a lift and have a lot of excess skin removed.
I do know others that have had this done that don't have problems, but I do believe the recovery time is going to be tough. Feel free to follow my story, as I will be updating regularly.
Even though it hurts like hell, I am in love with my new chest and so far am glad I did it.

That's good to hear. I'm looking for input from active, strong women. I've heard it hurts a lot more the stronger your pecs are. I love doing push ups and other chest related exercises and I'm worried I'll have to give them up if I go through with it. My trainer has worked with women who have undergone ba, and he had one he said her implants almost slapped her in the face whenever she used her pecs! I'm not sure that would be worth it. I enjoy being strong for practicing BJJ. There are some trade offs I'll have to decide if I'm willing to live with. I will definitely follow your story. Thanks for commenting!

I am getting Inspira high profile smooth round 300 cc's :) Surgery in less than two weeks now! Very excited. Do you have Inspira implants? If so, do you like them?

Impatient....
I am very impatient for my consultation, a month seems like forever to wait! In the meantime I'm trying to work up the nerve to post my before pics. I was made fun of a lot when I was younger over my flat chest. Even a family member somehow found it appropriate to tease me about it. One girl in particular made fun of me incessently when I was a teenager, resulting in me being incredibly self conscious and hating my body for a long time. Fast forward to my late twenties when I started working out seriously and eventually met my husband and I made a lot of progress regarding my self image. I now have a body that I can genuinely say that I love and thanks to a very adoring husband who loves me exactly as I am, breasts included, I have come to fully accept my body. On the other hand, with the rest of my body finally being what I want, it would be so nice to be able to wear lingerie and bathing suits and actually fill them out properly. I can't exercise my breasts or do anything for them really, other than padded bras, which get old really quick. Even my husband has admitted nice perky breasts would compliment my figure and be fun for him too :) Anyway, one of these days I will actually post my before pics.

Your story sounds a lot like mine! I also had to wait a month for my consult which felt like forever but I am thankful for it because I had plenty of time to totally prepare myself, and this site helps soooo much!
My procedure is two weeks from today and that also feels like FOREVER!
December 11, 2016
Again, thanks for posting your pics. I finally worked up the nerve, hooray! I feel like we have very similar before breasts, so I look forward to seeing your results and progress. Of course everyone's turn out differently, but it's still nice to have some idea. Yours is coming up so quick, I'm excited for you! Keep us updated :)

I waited a long time as well. I consulted with 3 board certified PS and then finally settled on one, but had to schedule my surgery months out Bc of too many other obligations. It did give me time to do a lot of research and learn about all my options though. So take the time to do that.
You are in amazing shape! Don't be ashamed of your body. You deserve to feel good about yourself. My biggest challenge is going to be taking time off from yoga and lifting weights, but in the whole scheme of things, it's not forever and it was worth it.
Please make sure you have a lot of support for your post op. This is very painful IMO. I had major neck surgery 2 years ago and I think that this is much worse. Today I'm 4 days post op and I went to say hi to my neighbors and had to leave bc talking put too much of a strain on my chest.
I think the more developed your chest muscles are, the worse the pain will be. I'm not trying to scare you at all, just want you to know what to expect. I needed a lift as well due to weight gain in my 20s, so I'm sure that's adding to my pain.
I will be sure to update when I get back to the gym, etc. I look forward to following your story.

Thank you! All of the wonderful ladies on here make this experience so much better. We're on this roller coaster ride together :) I was quite impressed with your hand stands. Something I've always wanted to be able to do. I've just started dabbling in yoga myself, I always thought it was too boring compared to Jiu Jitsu or weight lifting. Now I love it, it's so relaxing and challenging at the same time. I only really do videos off the Beachbody website at this point, but it's been a nice intro. Someday I'll work up to a handstand! I look forward to following your journey back into the gym and yoga.

Oh darling your story sounds very similar to mine as well. I was always very self conscious about my look, and made fun of. Never felt confident enough in a bedroom either. I always looked at other girls and it felt like everyone else has boobs apart from me. I felt horrible, knowing that I'm lacking something. Something very important to feel like a woman. Not being able to put a vest on (empty bra) or any of the nice dresses. Bikini shopping was a torture... I'm sure you know what I'm talking about. I'm now 4 days post op and couldn't be happier! My only regret is that I should of done it sooner :)
I had 300cc hp round unders. Feel free to check out my review or message me x good luck and Im not gonna say the time will fly by (I didn't for me) but it's definitely WORTH it! :D
December 15, 2016
Yes, you do know exactly how I feel! It feels like every other woman in the world has them but yourself when you've been made fun of and stared at like there's something wrong with you! I will definitely check out your story. Thank you, I love the support and honesty on this site, so helpful and uplifting :)
December 15, 2016
Yes I'm very happy I came across this site, it's very helpful I agree :) yeah every woman on the street, beach, gym changing room,on the telly, all our friends seem to have nice big boobs... but luckily thanks to the plastic surgeons we can have them too :) I've been thinking about BA for about 8 years but the thing that really pushed me to do it now was my little sister. She's only 12 and her little boobies were bigger than mine... that was depressing...don't get me wrong I'm so, so happy for her that she won't have to go through that hell of being flat chested. But looking at 12year old having bigger breasts than a fully grown 25year old woman gave me courage to finally do it!! My mum was also flat and she had BA 7 years ago so I'm very happy for my sister that she didn't get the 'AA' gene ;) xx
December 15, 2016
Yeah, it's even more depressing looking at men with bigger boobs than me! ;) I turn 35 on Sunday and I know exactly what you mean. I went to visit my cousins earlier this year and my little 13 year old cousin had MUCH bigger boobs than me. I had to tell her not to make fun of her older sister who is rather flat chested. I told her that I'm a 32A and her jaw about dropped. I'll be honest, it was a little embarrassing!
December 15, 2016
Hahaha that made me laugh. I know right! How unfair haha God definitely has a sense of humour;) I know my little sister made few comments about my flat chest, she didn't mean to be nasty but it really got me. I had to explain to her how I feel and that her comments were hurting me. She stopped after that conversation, she just wasn't aware that she was hurting me. Now she's really supporting me through my recovery process :)
When I told her that I'm gonna have surgery she just asked me not to get giant melons haha

Finally doing it!
Here they are in all their glory! My before pics. I literally have no breasts left. They were never big to begin with, as I've mentioned, but now they're just downright depressing. Thanks to all the other brave ladies out there for posting their before pics, gave me th bravery to post these :)
You're not alone with your addiction to RealSelf! I hear comments like this quite often. Glad our site has been helpful with your journey so far. Thank you for paying it forward by sharing your experience with us!
