Like most here during my young years I kept...
WORTH IT$5,900
Like most here during my young years I kept waiting for my breast to develop. Every women in my family has big boobs specially in my mother's side of the family...they all have DD and some even DDD's... All natural!! So I thought for sure eventually I will develop some... a full B at the very least ????
I remember as a young teenage a few kids making fun of how flat I was/am ????
I started eating tons of food wanting to gain weight in hopes that I will get some on my chest. And the fact that I'm here tells you that I was unsuccessful..lol
But I was able to put my burning desire to get a BA on hold hoping to gain and keep some volume after breastfeeding my kids. I was able to gain a fold nothing else ????
Breastfeeding gave me the opportunity to feel what having breasts its like and I was only a B!!
I have to admit that I learned to love my breast with the help of my lovely husband. He has always made me feel like the sexy women I feel I am despite my "boyish" look on top. And although I'm content were I am at the moment I can't let go of that dream. Specially when I have to deal with the frustration on a day to day basis...the clothes, swimsuits, lingerie, etc.
It's interesting how I feel the most comfortable without clothes on than with clothes on. I think it's because of how disappointing it is to put a bra on that doesn't quite fit and its just fully padded...now THAT makes me feel fake ????????????
And although I feel most comfortable without clothes on (mainly thanks to my husband) that doesn't mean that I haven't had many moments of insecurity.....Oh the times I've walked into VS and felt like I didn't belong there... To supposedly buy a bra for support...what support!?...there is nothing to support!!! I wear bras to pretend that I have boobs, to look more like a woman, more proportional, more feminine.
Bottom line...I CANNOT WAIT FOR MY BA!!
Sure, I'm nervous...but excited above anything else.
I will make another post with all of my stats, dates and goals that way anyone that wants to skip all the drama and just get to the numbers can do so freely ????
I hope that my journey helps someone out there.
Thanks for allowing me to express myself and sorry for any misspelling...English is my second language ????

I did the same thing! I wore bras so that I would have fake boobs under my clothes. LOL. Funny, how I have only had my implants for 3 weeks and these feel more natural to me than my weird padded bras that had a gap between my nipple and the bra. I always felt like they would ride around my chest because there was no boob to stop them. :-) Good luck with your surgery...it's worth it.
November 8, 2016
Lol! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one. I'm so tired of it... Today I went to a fitness class and end up wearing my bombshell (add two cups) under a sports padded bra and I still looked like a had small boobs...

So I have a question for you since you are on your 3rd week. I'm planning on scheduling my family photo shoot 3 weeks after my BA and I'm afraid I may be feeling pain still by then or for my breast to look too weird under clothes. Base on were you are at now, and I know its different for everyone but do you think you would be up to a family photo shoot? Can you pick a small child (3 year old/ 35lb) already? Do you feel you have a lot of swelling still? How does it feel when you are out on the Cold?
December 20, 2016
Lol! So true! This is how I arrived at the wrong band size for my bra for so many years, I didn't have that shelf of boobs for the bra to sit under, so it just rode up and up!

Also, beware of aiming for a particular cup size when you get a BA, your surgeon will want to make you in proportion but he is not a bra sales man, different brands have different sizes and what may result in a C cup for one woman (say if she gets 300ccs) will not make a C cup for another.
In answer to your question I can only speak to my own experience. If it was me I'd be fine to go on the photo shoot but plan your outfit in advance, you will probably need to wear a surgical bra for a while, which means no low neck lines.
The cold didn't really effect me, but I was glad to have my BA in the winter so I could cover up while I healed.
As for picking up the small child, only you will know that when you're closer to the time, but I'd advise to play it safe, and have someone help you if its required for the photo.

At 3 weeks about 80% of the swelling and all of your water retention should be gone. I have a 2 year old that I don't pick up yet. It still feels too weird on the implant and my PS said to wait another week, and a full 6 weeks post op for push ups and chest exercises. Your boobs will look close to the final size but the shape will still be firm. You should be looking great! And my nipples are very sensitive to cold. Yowzers!

Thank you for your reply, after reading your response I reschedule for before my BA. Thanks for your help.

I Loved your review especially the part about walking into VS and feeling like you dont belong. I wouldn't even look at anything if other people were around because I felt humiliated that I was looking for the most padded bras I could find. Also I always wore the bombshell with a tight sports bra over it just to have cleavage, if people only knew the truth lol. I went on vacation this summer to myrtle beach and had my fake boobs in my bikkini, and looking at all the other woman who were blessed with boobs and never ever really feeling like a woman completely. I'm glad that's all behind me. :)

Thanks for writing! It's good to hear that I'm not the only one. Most stores don't even make my size... It's as if I don't exist in the "bra world"
And to be honest they are right in a way... Bras are mainly for support and when there are no Tatas...well... What's the point?
I have to admit though that in the past year or so I learn to love my small breast to a certain degree. I felt they were sexy and I was able to look through a VS store not feeling too intimidated. But sadly that is not the norm.
I can't wait to join you on the other side and leave that and so many other frustrating inconveniences behind.

I believe with me the older I'm getting the worse I feel and it's like I'm fighting my age. I wanted to feel young and pretty again and believe it or not these helped boost my confidence so much. I am almost 3 weeks in and I seen your questions to the other girl and wanted to answer that for me the cold and my boobs don't get along at all. They get super tight and hard,not the nipples the actual breast ,when I walk into the cold. Also after I came out I lost all feeling from the nipples down I recently gained feeling back in one nipple and it's super sensetive but not yet in the other one. You will be here soon enough, I know how long it seemed the days were taking to pass and that's all I could do was think about getting them. I was living in boob world and I still am. I'm so excited to see your results.
November 15, 2016
I was just looking at your profile! They look awesome!
I completely understand about wanting to do something for yourself. I've always been a people pleaser and I've decided in the past couple of years to think a little more about myself. I felt like I was putting myself in the back burner for my kids and everyone else. And don't get me wrong. I think it's a beautiful thing to serve others specially your love ones. But it's even better to do it when you love yourself too. I'm glad that you did it for your self. I'm glad that it has given you a boost of confidence. I know it will do the same to me.
And yes, you are so right! All I can think of is my BA. I'm constantly looking at a countdown on my phone....14 more days now!!! So boob world it is for me for now

Thank you so much for taking the time to answer my question. I was able to rescheduling my family photoshoot for before the BA. My husband kept saying that by then I should be fine but I fear I won't and you sharing your experience help me be more adamant about my decision. I will probably used heavy padding for the photoshoot, Lol!
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
November 15, 2016
Haha how exciting it reminded me of being a child on Christmas morning again!!!
November 15, 2016
I'm good,it gets easier each day but with every move I'm reminded of it. Not that it's bad pain just tightness.i can do everything I did before my operation, It just takes me slightly longer. I can't wait to feel like they're actually mine and I really can't wait for summer to show them off :) Happy healing!!

I can't wait to see your results. You are my size and I feel the same as you. I was thinking about having this done, but chickened out. Did you decide on HP or did your surgeon? Is there much difference between HP and Mod+?
November 27, 2016
will try to post often in hopes that it can somehow help you out and feel free to ask me any questions that you might have. My surgeon suggested UHP mainly due to my small frame. I decided to go with HP just to allow a little more of a slope on my upper pole and hence a more natural look. A HP has a little more projection than a Mod +. It's kinda the next level up. But when you compare different brands, they may be about the same. For example a Sientra HP is comparable to a Mentor Mod+ (at least that's my understanding when I look at their charts, fill ratio and projection)
I will write a short post on why I choose the implants that in going with.
Hopefully that helps and didn't confused you more

Bottom line is that too figure out how much of a difference there is between a HP and a Mod+ just look at the chart of the brand that you are thinking about going with and see the projection on the cc's that you want to get. There is usually not a big difference. It's just the way that they pack the cc's in bc of the diameter of the implant. Makes sense?

We are very similar in size. I went with 350 but I had to get mp because I needed the width as my breast bone creates a large gap between my breasts. Your results are perfect!
