286cc/304cc, periareolar incision,31 yrs, 4'11",105lbs, 32B to 32 DD

Yay! I'm so glad I could help!

This site had been so helpful for me and it was hard to find women with similar stats and desires as well.

Good luck at your consult tomorrow! Keep me posted :)

I will and thanks for your help. Are you still happy with your choice? I'm torn between 300cc and just a tad larger, but think 400cc is over kill for me. Do you have any more recent pics?

I'm so happy with my decision! They are very proportionate and if they were any bigger it would be a nightmare bra and dress shopping. I'm 32DD in most bras I have tried and still fit XS for clothing for the most part. I just posted some new pics from today;) I also wanted to stay in the mod + profile and couldn't really go bigger because my BWD is 12. Make sure you find out your breast width diameter and see what your options are in your desired profile.

I am in complete shock after my consultation, after trying on gel sizers I asked the nurse what size she had given me and she said 500cc!! They looked great though,so I'm confused now.

I've seen all sizes look great on petite women. Just depends how you carry it. You should make rice sizers with a few different sizes and wear them under your clothes and see what feels right;)

At the consult,I looked very similar to what I looked like when I was fully engorged after my first son,which I loved my milk boobs,Lol. I am definitely going to make the sizers though.

Haha! My milk boobs were too much for me, lol. It was just too difficult to find clothes to fit right. It's great that you already know what that size looks and feels like on you! It will make your decision easier. Just put the sizers in your old nursing bras and see how many cc you'll need to get that look again:) check out anna1989. She is petite and got 400cc hp. They look great and I think she's a 32 DDD.

Thank you:)

Yay! So excited for you! I haven't decided yet...maybe at pre-op but love the mod+ look. Yours look great so far! Did you end up with mod+ or HP? Oh yeah....did you find out your BWD? Hope you heal quickly,especially since you weren't planning on the extra recovery that comes with going under the muscle!

I went with mod! Crap! I forgot about the bwd, I'll look through my paperwork and see if I can find it!

Lol, much appreciated! I'm even more excited to see your results now! Teehee:)

Thank you:) Can't come fast enough! I'm starting to get scared that I wont be able to compete in sports the same way and worrying. I think it's nerves, lol.

Oh and I wanted to make a suggestion.(Make a hair appointment) I am gonna make a hair appointment for a couple of days after my surgery just to get it washed and styled. After my first BA I had to get my mom to wash my hair bc I couldn't raise my arms above my head. I could have my fiancé do it this time, but I figured I would just go to the salon and get a little pampered. Plus my hair is naturally curly but I straighten it all the time and I won't feel like dealing with that while recovering. Lol Just thought I'd share with you from past experience.

Obstacle course races are so fun! Only some of them have cliffs but there are usually at least 12-15 ft jumps into water from ledges. I'm not worried about rupturing them but actually pushing them out of their pocket. I knew a girl in a car accident and hers got pushed up to her shoulder.

I have a little girl that turned 2 in February. The hardest part of my decision to have BA is knowing I can't pick her up:(

Thanks for the salon tip! Makes perfect sense and it's the best part of getting your hair done.

Pushed up to her shoulder, wow that's crazy!! How long had she had them done at the time?

Yeah that sucks about your little girl... You probably won't be able to lift her for a while. I don't have that problem, my daughter just turned 9 last month. It must be a lot more difficult with a really young one that is used to being held all the time. Hopefully your husband can help out a lot with her.

With your surgery date scheduled and coming up soon do you find that you are consumed with all things boobs? Lol My fiancé is so sick of hearing me talk about it!

She had them for 1-2 yrs prior to the accident. It was horrible. She was in a taxi that hit a horse and she became paralyzed from the waist down. Her breast was the least of her issues:(

I'm so sad about my little but my husband will help with her and I flew my mom in to help while he works. He travels all week so I only have help on the weekends.

I have a love/ hate relationship with realself! I'm so grateful for the above

......I accidently hit post before I was finished typing! I'm grateful but obsessed as well! Every free moment I'm researching! It's all consuming! My husband has been a sport and understands is a huge deal for me. It sounds like it doesn't get any easier even when you've been through it before. Do you have any new concerns? Things that have changed since your last surgery? I saw that you were thinking that you may need a lift. Any decisions on that?

That's good that you will have your mom there to help. My mom lives less than 5 mins away so she will be able to help a lot. My fiancé is an engineer and works out of the house so he will be a huge help! He's really great but I think I'm starting to annoy him with how much I'm researching and on RS too! Lol. It's funny bc we all have friends but it's so nice to have someone to talk to that is going through the same thing as us at the same time we are! I'm grateful for that.

I decided not to do the lift right now. I wanna wait and see how the new implants look first. I can always do the lift later. I know I'll eventually need one but I'm putting it off for now. It doesn't get any easier even when you've done it before. It's like I'm doing it all over again for the first time except now I have the internet to help me along my journey. My biggest concern is The fact that I hate the way my saline implants feel. I hear that the silicone ones feel a lot softer and more natural. I'm really looking forward to that! How about you, what are your biggest concerns with the surgery?

I have a few, lol. I guess I'm worried about regretting them if they turn out worse than my current situation or if I have a rare complication.
Aesthetically, I'm concerned about them looking foreign on my body...like balls, or sad with not enough lower pole. My breasts are different, and although common, I worry about having two complete strangers on my chest. I'm going through the nipple and this doesn't even concern me... I'm more worried about overall shape.

I'm also getting a mole removed from my face and I'm not even thinking about it. I had almost forgot! What's wrong with me that I'm not even worried about my face, lol!

I'm excited for your upgrade and can not wait to see them!

Haha! Yeah I can't wait to see yours too. I think they're gonna look good as long as you clearly communicate to your PS what you want. I was nervous about the same things as you the first time too. I didn't want to look like I had balls under my skin either. You're concerns are all legitimate! Just remember, worrying about the rare complication does nothing but stress you out though and that's the last thing you need right now is stress! By the way when is your surgery date?

June 24th. Pre-op June 10th. You?

Oh ok. My surgery is on June 10th. Pre op is on June 6th. The suspense is killing me!! I wish I could fast forward the clock to that day and get it over with for goodness sake! Lol

How big is the mole you're having removed?

Hmmmm....not sure how to measure it, lol. It's a good size right next to my nose. It use to be a cute (large)freckle that kept growing away from my face. Now it's like a little ball. I'll update my review tomorrow when I have better light and include pics of it. I should give it a name,lol!

I replied to this last night... Not sure what happened to the post though. I wanted to tell you make sure you get some stool softeners and start them a day or two before the surgery because the pain meds will make you really bloated from not being able to go to the bathroom. You may be bloated from swelling in your breasts that will eventually move down to your stomach too. That happened to me bad the first time.... I couldn't see my abs at all. I was like, wth is all this? Lol It goes away in a few days though if it happens at all.

Also, if pain meds tend to make you nauseous, be sure to ask your Dr for some nausea medicine. There's nothing worse than having a sore chest and having to strain to throw up. Not fun!

You have any Memorial Day plans?

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I'm not looking forward to the bloat. We grilled today and had some friends over. Hubby has to travel tomorrow for Tuesday meetings. What about you?

We're playing drunk Taboo (the game) at a friend's house tonight then grilling and swimming at their house tomorrow. It sucks bc I just bought a bathing suit a couple of weeks ago. The top is the one in my profile pic. As you can see I will probably need to buy another one after I get them re done. Lol Is that your husband in one of the pics from the OC races?

Sounds fun:) yeah it sucks when you just buy something and know it won't fit for long. Better get some use out of it!

No, the guy jumping next to me isn't my husband. He was in line behind me so you can't see him.

Oh ok. I'm so aggravated right now bc I started taking some new supplements for weight lifting and put on about 10 lbs but not all muscle weight that's for sure! I'm hoping to lose some of it before the surgery. I know one thing that made me happy is that my doctor said I only have to wait about two weeks before I can start working out again. I was expecting it to be 6 to 8 weeks. But that's because I'm going over the muscle and it's a quicker recovery time. Did your doctor tell you how long it'll be before you can start training for your races again? Do you work out too?

It's going to be a much easier recovery for you this time! That's great you will be back at it so quickly! My doc said I could do recumbent bike etc at 2 weeks. Upper body at 6 weeks but I need to start with low weights and work up to it. I'm going to ask him more detailed questions at pre-op in regard to chest exercise and my training. My workouts revolve around upper body strength.(another reason I need to go on the small size) I do antigravity yoga and silks as well as my obstacle course training for races. I train at a gym that's specializes in American ninja warrior and the other one is where the circus performers train.

Good luck with that pesky 10 lbs! It will be so much easier pre-op to lose. I feel it's harder for us petite girls to lose as well.

Yes that's true, I think it is harder for us to lose weight. American Ninja Warrior is cool. I used to watch that on tv a lot with my dad. Haven't watched in a while though. What is weightless yoga?

Girl, I'm freaking out right now. My daughter uses this app on her iPod touch called Musical.ly and some 35 yr old man has been messaging her!!!! I told her to block him and that if she talked to him again that She would be punished from it for a week. Well, her dad caught her messaging him again this morning!! He's been sending her selfies and calling her sweetie. I am LIVID right now! I put his pics up on Facebook with a warning, etc and tagged the police dept where he lives in the post. A bunch of friends have shared it already. She just turned 9!! She's petite like me too so she looks even younger! Sorry just had to rant about that for a bit. Lol

Omg! That's so disgusting!it's even scarier these days with the the access these creeps have. I'm not looking forward to my little getting older.

Antigravity yoga is yoga while suspended in the air in aerial silks. Great for decompression. I have one in my home and use it daily. I swing my daughter in it too. She even napped in it the other day.

Oh wow that sounds so cool!! Yeah we have to be really vigilant with them these days especially with girls!! Her dad called the police department where the guy lives and they told him there has been no crime yet but they are really concerned for her and want him to bring them her iPod, I guess so they can find the guys IP address.

Anyway, you should post a video of you in your silks. ;)

At least the police are cooperating and trying to find him.

Maybe I can get my sister to take a video of me in the silks next time I see her. I updated my review with pics of my mole to be removed. Have you ever had one removed? I'm not sure if he is shaving or cutting it out. I know they can be quite deep, so I hope it doesn't leave a large dimpled scar.

Yeah I saw your pics. I'm jealous of your long eyelashes. Lol. No I've never had one removed. What did the dr say about how deep he thinks he will have to cut/shave? Let me guess... Y'all talked more about boobs huh? Lol

By the way, I'm Nicole.

Hahaha! I pretty much told the doc at the end of the consult...."oh,yeah, I'd like to get this removed too". He said he has had nice results shaving them but if he didn't like it he could cut out the root and try and conceal the scar.

I kinda thought your name might be nicole:) I'm Brittany.

Thank you for the eyelash compliment. I am very lucky to have long lashes. But I have long dark hair in undesirable places as well! Hahaha! The good with the bad!

Yeah I figured your name was Brittany too just wasn't sure how to spell it. Yeah hopefully you won't have any kind of scar. Oh I wanted to ask you too... Why did you decide to go through the nipple with your implants?

I watched a couple of episodes of Atlanta Plastic a little while ago... I wish they had a show of all boob jobs. I think I have boobs on the brain... I'm even having dreams about getting them done! Lol I know, weird right?

Holy crap! There's something to be said for social media! I feel so bad for his ex and children. Thank goodness you guys were monitoring your daughters usage and she's ok. I'd definitely rather be distracted with boobs.

Yeah.... They are finally gonna press charges and the police in three different districts are ready for his ass!
That was another hard thing, trying to explain what implants are to my daughter and why I had them. Lol that sure was an awkward conversation! I talk with her about anything and everything too but it was still awkward. She said I hope I have small boobies mommy. I said well, I'm sure you will. Lol Didn't you say you got really big when you breastfed your daughter? Are you planning on having any more babies?

Lol, I bet that was an interesting conversation! I have teenage nephews and very open with them about everything.

Yes, I was a milk machine! My right breast was a 32DD and the left was an E! It's amazing how my body bounced back. But i nursed for 22months and weaned her slowy the last year. I think it helped to do it gradually. I'm not planning on having more, but I feel guilty not to give her a sibling. Anything is possible though and we've discussed adopting one day too.

Yeah and you're still young so you never know what the future holds. I didn't have my daughter till I was 32 and I breastfed her for 5 months until I got an infection in my milk ducts and had to stop. Breastfeeding after implants was fine but I never did produce enough milk so I had to supplement. How long have you been married?

I have been with my husband 10 years and married 8 years in October. How long have you been with your fiance? Do you have a wedding date on mind yet?

We've only been together for 8 months believe it or not but we also dated for a year in high school and just ran back into each other 8 months ago. We immediately started dating again and he said he wanted to get married just a few months in. We don't have a wedding date set yet because we are going to get married either in the Bahamas or the Hard Rock hotel in Punta Cana. We are waiting for his next big check to come in.... He recently did a $38,000 job... That will pay for everything and we will book it at that time. We're waiting for that check to book it bc I think one of my implants has a pinhole leak and he was worried about my health and wanted me to get them done as soon as possible. Not that saline would hurt me but if it's leaking it needs to get fixed. Plus they are long overdue at 20yrs old. Lol

That's a great story! It's wonderful that he is so supportive and putting you first: ) that's the quality I love about my husband. Your destination wedding ought to be a blast! Plus, you'll have fun new accessories for the big day!

Haha yep I'm just hoping they are dropped enough by the time we go. I don't want them to be up in my neck still. The earliest we would be going is the end of the summer. So I think they should be ok.

Do you work or are you a stay at home mom?

I'm a stay at home mom. I'm an artist so I can make art from home but my daughter has kept me so busy I haven't done much. Only two paintings since I've had her. She doesn't sleep much so I don't have the free time. Once I put her in school I'll work on a collection and publish my website. You?

I used to be in outside sales but have just been a stay at home mom since I had Kaylee. I was sick for a long time because I have Lupus and it was flared up. It's in remission now though so I'm feeling better... Pretty much back to normal.

That's cool that you're an artist ... How long have you been doing it for?

I'm glad you're in remission! I bet it makes having surgery scarier.

I've drawn my whole life. We were poor growing up so I got creative making stuff. I wanted to go into the medical field but after the first two years I got tired of being wait- listed regardless of my 4.0 GPA. My family encouraged me to pursue art. I got Bachelors of fine arts with a minor in at history. I didn't pursue it at first because I didn't want to be a starving artist, lol.. there is a high demand in Vegas for specific skills like body painting etc. Which I do for special events. I'll probably eventually put a small collection in a gallery as well as sell online so I'll be able to involved in my daughters activities. I do miss the social aspect of going to work though...maybe I'll work in a museum or gallery later when she's bigger.

That's awesome! Body painting sounds really cool! Philip and I want to eventually come to Vegas. I've been once when I was 16 for a national dance competition.

It's good that you get to be home with your daughter right now especially while she's young, I think that's really important! I wouldn't trade being able to stay home with my daughter for anything But I do miss getting to meet new people and have more friends through a career also.

I've had eight surgeries in my life, so this isn't real scary for me in that respect. I'm more nervous about how my boobs are going to turn out. Lol I just hope they don't look too bad since I'm not getting a lift right now. I will eventually get one but it will probably be a while. Marriage comes next. Haha

I'm so blessed to stay home with my daughter! I can't imagine not being with her. And she's so precocious! I like to think it's because of the time I spend with her:)

We ladies are so silly! The way and what we concern ourselves with. Or maybe I should say the way we fixate on things! BOOBS,BOOBS,BOOBS!
It's hard not to worry, but it can't imagine your doc letting you leave the operating room unhappy. Your recovery will be much easier without the lift too!

I'm not worried about the surgery or pain either. Just looking in the mirror and being let down.

Yeah the time we spend with our daughters definitely pays off! It's so much better than them being stuck in a daycare with 20-30 other kids all day. When they get a little older, the trade off is the social skills they miss out on being with the other kids but I think it's well worth it in the long run.

I know what you mean, worrying about being let down when you look in the mayor. I'm trying not to have really high expectations for the surgery since I know I need a lift too. I'll just be happy that they will feel softer and be a better shape than they are now. I remember The first time I got them done when I got 300 cc's the first thing I thought was that they were too small. Since I had to go back in and have them redone anyway I decided to go to 360 and was happy with that. I'm just hoping that 520 isn't going to be too big this time.

Meant mirror. Lol

I'm looking closer to your starting size and I worry that they will be too small. But then I remember my measurements and I would rather have small breasts shaped the way I want rather than large ones that don't settle correctly. I think I'll be happy though. I've taken in a lot of considerations and feel confident so far. Of course this may change at pre-op, lol.
Compared to my selection, 520cc sounds large but that doesn't mean it will look too big. Also, I think it will fill them up more since you aren't getting a lift now. You should make rice sizers of 520cc and take pics in a bra and with a shirt.

Yeah I thought of that except I already have 360 cc's so I would have to make little rice sizers just with the difference - 160 cc's. Don't know if that would really give me the same idea as if I were starting from scratch with an A cup. Lol

Sorry I haven't gotten back to you till now. My life has been consumed with this stuff going on with my daughter right now. That post has over 27,000 shares now! I've gotten friend requests and messages from people as far away as Michigan! Her dad is meeting with someone from the news right now. They are doing a story on it today. What's been going on in your world lately?

Lol, I guess it would be harder to tell. (I'm giggling picturing you with tiny rice sizers over your big boobs.) It's the complete opposite of what the rest of us are doing! Oi!

Sounds like a lot of crazy going on over there! I'm enjoying a relaxng family day. Swimming, picking apricots and plums off our trees and getting ready to make salmon en croute for dinner.

Hope you get a little peace and quiet this weekend....it's the last one before surgery! I'll be your biggest lil' cheerleader while you recover:)

I know you will! I'm excited to have you for that... And I will be for yours too! ;)
Tiny rice sizers, haha. Yeah I think I may as well skip that part. On second thought, how do you make them... Just measure 160 ml of rice into a ziplock bag or pantyhose or something?

Yep, exactly! Use panty hose.....it works way better!

I'll have to buy some panty hose. Lol I'm so excited now that my pre-op is almost here. It's gonna be nice to see what the surgery center looks like, etc. It's finally starting to feel real now that it's under a week away! I got a button down sleeveless shirt to where home but I still have to go find a front closure sports bra that they can put on me right after the surgery. I was kind of bummed that they don't give everyone a universal one from the office but that's just the way they do things here. They said it should be comfortable on me now but I'm already starting with D's so I wonder if I should get it a little tight. Has your PS said anything about what to do or get to prepare for surgery?

I'll find our more during pre-op. But he supplies the bra and some herbal meds to take before surgery to help with bruising. I've already seen the surgery center because he has his own on site. It's a beautiful facility.

That's good. I saw the outside of the surgery center that I'll be at. It's a huge place. He has 2 in different locations. What kind of herbal meds do they give you?

I'm not for sure yet, he supplies it at pre-op but I'm guessing it's arnica.

Hey, sorry I haven't replied yet... Have had a lot going on with my daughter and that online creep. That news story aired in several states around the country. It's been crazy with all the messages We've been getting.

Anyway, soooo... I went to my pre op yesterday and everything went well except that the nurse brought up the next size up which was 560 cc's (yikes) and my fiancé said "yeah, you should do that"! Lol I actually considered it and for some strange reason agreed, after some time and thought, to do it. I was still unsure though and the nurse said I had till 9 AM this morning to change my mind. Long story short, after staying up all night worrying that I would look like Pamela Anderson, I called this morning and told them to only order the 520's. I was too worried about coming out and being a size E!! Lol. Hope
Everything is going good on your end of the country. I wish our surgery dates were closer! ;)
