Wanted to get some advice/feedback. I'm going for my 2nd consul next week. Currently a small B, and wanted to go to a C (325cc Silicone) Debating if a BA is worth it. I'm very afraid of what can happen not not only right after surgery but years down the line. I'm a healthy 37 year old, am I setting myself for unessesary commitment to this? Would appreciate some advice! Thank you!

Is this your second time getting implants? Why are you getting them done again? Did something happen or you just want to go bigger?

No, check out my photos on review, my breasts are very saggy, the first time i was operated on was 8 years ago and it was a lift and reduction, i got very very small implants to try retain the size as with a lift they remove some of your natural tissue,
However my breasts sagged a lot again over the years
I had no issues with the very small implants that i have,
But they are saggy and asymmetrical in size and shape,

Ok. That makes sense! Good luck with your surgery. Look forward to hearing how it goes!

Thank you ! i think the key this time will be to replace more of my natural tissue with hte implant so my breasts aren't to prone to sagging, esp over the year with minor weight fluctuations and hormone changes (coming off the pill etc) I think that with my breast changing in size - increasing and decreasing - it contributed to the sag returning. HOpefully with a little less natural tissue and replaced with a little larger implant I can get a result that lasts better. Although in saying that, I don't regret my last surgery - It really gave me a sense of quality of life, prior to that I had a huge breast difference in size and sagginess which meant I spent years hiding away from the beach, social situations and my partner at the time. IJ think its important tohave a healthy mindset with surgery and not to seek for perfection or for surgery to fulfill a inner void of self love, but at the same time, I don't agree with the stereotype that breast surgery is for people who are fixated on their vanity. I hope you make the best decsion for yourself [RS bleep]

Did you leave your deposit? And if so, which ones did he recommend for you? I'm so excited to hear about your journey!

Yes! Go for my preop this Friday. He recommended round and the gummy bear. I think I'm going to go with the round. I'm confirming everything Friday. Very excited and nervous!

I am turning 50 next month. I had mine done 15 years ago. They are so uncomfortable and as you change hormonoly so do they and its uncomfortable. I regret it because I feel trapped in my own body. Having them removed requires a lot of holes on my time and energy especially with two kids 12 and under I think you look great and I commit myself to having a healthy strong body instead of an artificial one.

I'm 58. Had them at 21. Last year had the replacement of my 37 year old implants. Small leak. I would do it again, but wish I had done smaller to begin the first time. I didn't want to do the "lift surgery" so I just did a replacement. They are larger than I'd like, but still look natural...My best advice is go small so they appear as natural as possible. You seem to have a tiny frame, well shaped and symmetrical breasts. You look great now, but I do think you'll like the results. Good luck in whatever YOU choose!

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! I'm scheduled for next tues and chose a doctor who is very conservative. So we shall see!

So I went on many consults and finally found a Dr that I feel comfortable with. Going to go with round Naturelle Silicone. Size will be determined that day but anywhere between 320-375. Very excited and nervous. Pre op done, taking my multivitamins and prescriptions filled. Now we wait!

Good luck. I know how you feel it's definitely scary. A leap of faith. I trusted my ps and all the women I spoke to and know who have had BAs. I'm early post op but very happy with me decision. Good luck to you. I'll be following your journey.
So glad you started a pre op review with us even if you decide not to get your surgery. As you know, implants don't last forever so sometimes implants aren't for everyone. You're doing a great job consulting with a variety of doctors and it's nice that you're not in a rush to get your surgery. This may take some time until you feel confident. Please update us soon and let us know how your research goes!
