I've known of this website for about a year and have been on it almost everyday reading reviews and surgeons comments. I've wanted a BA since a teenager and always knew one day i'd get one. The idea seemed like a fantasy until this January, someone close to me revealed they were getting one and it sparked me into thinking and planning seriously about getting it. Since then I've been to 4 doctors.. I said it's extremely important to me to stay modest and get a conservative size.. I hate the "fake" looking boobs that are very round and too big. I'm 5'2 115lb and a 32B.. I want a C cup and max 250cc. All the doctors i talked to have suggested in the range of 215cc-300cc under the muscle cohesive teardrop implant. The doctor i decided to go with mentioned he usually goes slightly larger than what the patient asks for.. I'm torn between trusting him and letting him go larger or insisting on a smaller size. My pre-opt appointment is July 9 which we'll talk about size and pre and post instructions. :)

Check out my profiles and pics. I had 225 HP overs the first time, had complications and then went with 350 HP unders. 350s are much better for me. I would have been very disappointed with 250 under the muscle -- it would prob only give you a small B, especially with teardrop, and even though you think you would be ok with that, it's a tiny change for a lot of money, and that's why the docs usually suggest slightly larger. That's just my opinion but I would suggest 300. I am 5'2, 105 lbs and with 225 overs I had to wear push up bras to make it look like I had anything under clothing, just like I did with my 30A/b cup before surgery.

Hey! Thanks for your advice. I definitely don't want to wish i had gone bigger. the doctor did say going under the muscle the implant would look smaller than it would if it was above.. i still want conservative.. but a C would be nice :)

I am about you size if you would like to take a look at my pictures . I got 375-400
June 25, 2014
Thanks for commenting! i looked at your pictures, they look very good. Slightly larger than i want but I'm definitely considering may 300 now. 225 may be too small. :)

After everything I've read on here and all the research I've done, I would err on the side of bigger. It's so disappointing to have spent the money and feel that you didn't go big enough.
June 25, 2014
Thanks for the advice. I definitely fear 225 may be too small and i want my moneys worth. I don't want to get greedy and i want to stay true to myself and what i originally wanted but it may not be worth it to get a B. :)

Hey girl - let me know what you end up deciding on and how the surgery goes. You and I have almost exactly the same dimensions (i.e. I'm also 5'2, 120 lbs, 32B) and sounds like we have similar objectives of a modest increase. I just went in for my first consultation yesterday and the ps suggested the same implant for me. My fill volume was estimated at 325, but after trying on sizers and the 3D simulation, I felt 250 cc was large enough. He thought that was appropriate but said I should consider 275 cc. Good luck through the rest of the process and surgery!

Hey! I have my pre opt appt. in a week so I'm sure then ill know which sizes they'll order. I know they have 1 or 2 alternative sizes either larger or smaller (maybe both) that they test out during surgery to see which looks best. When i tried on the sizers even the 225cc seemed huge lol. They told me when its under the muscle it looks smaller and I should go bigger.. I'm pretty set on 225-250cc. Ill update after and let you know what we decide on :)
July 3, 2014
That's hilarious! Thanks for the reply! The first sizers they had me try were 325cc, and my response was "oh God." We kept going down until 225cc which I was comfortable with, but after the 3D sim thought 250cc was good. That's good to know about it being a little smaller when under the muscle. Overnight I've been thinking I may go with 275cc as the doc suggested. Don't want to wish I went too small, but even more nervous if I go too big. Anyway, enough about me! I wish you the very best in the next couple weeks and look forward to hearing about your progress!

So I had my pre-op yesterday. It wasn't what i was expecting. The doctor wasn't there which makes me nervous since I only met him at the consult and won't see him until surgery day. I met with a nurse that will be present during the surgery. First was initalling a lot of paper work. The papers consisted with thorough pre and post op instructions as well as a 2 page list of every medication you can't take two weeks prior. We then talked about what to expect the day of the surgery and the following days. Then after the appointment i the paid the reminder balance. My excitement has recently been fading and I'm feeling very nervous and almost guilty about doing this. Ive looked at almost every topic on this site but when i saw the breast reduction and their wish boobs were like mine as they are now i started to feel like mine aren't that bad.. although i will go through with it and most likely love them Im scared they'll be too big. Even though i could remove them if i choose they'll never be the same as they are now.. I will make a strong point to the doctor the day of the operation saying to not go bigger than i ask.

As long as you stay 300 or less I think you'll turn out great (so long as the surgeon does them well and creates and ideal "pocket" and all that stuff). Nice to see someone who understands it's not all about size. =) Also, you're right that yours aren't "that bad" but I don't think you should feel guilty. My first look at them my thought was -- with your areolas being small as well -- that it's almost as if your breasts just "stopped" development somewhere during adolescence. I hope that's not offensive or anything. =\
July 17, 2014
Good point! I think your right. When i was 14-17 I weighed between 97-99lbs maybe hitting 100 a few times. I never had an appetite due to adderal and boyfriend problems. Maybe that had something to do with my lack of growth..

Good luck honey! I can't wait to see your update and hear about your surgery! Hoping all goes well!! Xoxo

I had the exact same feelings as you. I was very apprehensive about going to big, about "ruining my body", spending money on this as opposed to stashing it into savings etc.... I'm much bigger than you- 5'7 and gaining weight like crazy right now. 145-150 although my base weight is around 138. I got 339cc mod plus and although I loved them, and they were small enough- the shape didn't settle as well as I'd hoped. I just had a revision today to correct my asymmetry on right breast and upgraded to HP for a better shape for my body. Good luck!! *Hugs*

Don't do it. You deserve and need more time with the surgeon.

Surgery Tomorrow!

iwantbooobs
So tomorrow i'll go to the surgeons at 8:30. They told me to expect to be there 4 hours. I know ill be talking to the surgeon before about my expectations and what i want. After the surgery they said i'd stay in the recovery room for about an hour where they'll have me eat some snacks and drink... I'm not excited or nervous i feel like its not real. I don't think how I'm feeling about this is usual to most girls. Every review i read they're all excited and can't wait and i feel most times sad. Sad that i won't be the same ever again and my boobs as i know them and have known them will be gone.. Yet i still want to do it. I've wanted this since i was in middle school and now that its happening I'm just not so excited as i expected.. i hope this is the right decision. i know they'll turn out looking good but I'm still sad. my ideal BA would not involve an implant but be only a fat transfer but they're significantly more expensive.. I don't know how ill be feeling physically afterwards but ill try to update soon afterwards

Hey girl. I don't know how these things work yet with scheduling surgery and down payments, but it's not too late to back out if you need more time to think. You have until the anesthesia to say not yet. I'm sure there would be a fee involved or something but this is your body and no amount of money is that important to do something you're not ready for. And no one will or should be mad if you back out. I strongly urge you to listen to what your heart is saying. I'm flip-flopping a lot too. It's scary and I feel the same about the whole thing. I hope this message isn't getting to you too late. Regardless of what happens, I wish you the best and I'm sure you'll be happy with the outcome. Just push the doctor before surgery to do the size you want. Don't give in to him if you want to go smaller instead of the bigger option. I appreciate your honesty with this situation and how genuine you are. My thoughts are with you today!
July 22, 2014
Hey!!! thank you so much for you post! i actually did read it right before leaving for the surgeons. When i went in i was feeling i would just go in and talk to the doctor and make my decision to for sure do it by what he had to say and how he made me feel. Of course they were very nice and said if i didn't want to do it i didn't have to. i went through with it. I'm not regretting my descision but its still a bit sad my small boobs are gone. i know if i didn't do it i would regret that also. thank you for the support! :)
July 22, 2014
I completely understand...I'm feeling the same way. Change is scary no matter what form its in. I've read from a few of girls on here and heard from a friend that after some time your boobs will begin to feel like your own and not like you have an implant. I'll be looking forward to that day after surgery. Anyway, once again, I really appreciate your honesty and openness throughout this process. It helps like-minded girls like me learn about what to expect and feel like it's okay to feel however I feel about it. So, thank you! I hope your recovery goes well and you're back at it soon. I look forward to hearing of your results!

Glad to hear from both of you. I know I'll miss the "convenience" of my small breasts. I went out to the store yesterday with no bra on! I haven't made rice sizers & wasn't planning to, but I might now, just to try to get used to the size I want.
