23 Year old, 02/05/15, 300cc HP, 32A to 32D - Los Alamitos, CA

Hi everyone I am 23 years old 5'0" wt about 92lbs so I'm definitely on the small side. I currently wear a 32 B, however, I exclusively wear Aerie Drew bras and for those of you that know those bras they are extremely padded so in reality I'm an A cup because I can't even fill up the 32B.
So I've always wanted BA, but I was always so busy with school and work and I never got to it. Now that I've graduated and have a job that will allow me to take the time off and recover I decided to look more into it. Also the fact that my mom was willing to get BA with me helped. I spent days driving myself crazy researching different doctors. At first I had my heart set on Dr Pousti in San Diego and had set up a consultation ($100 fee). As the weeks went by and I continued to do my research I came across Dr. John Diaz ($100 consult fee) in Beverly Hills and Dr Farbod (free consult) in the Orange County area. I called each place and they all quoted me between $6,000-$7,500 for silicone implants. I was nervous about setting up multiple consults at $100 each since I was already trying to reduce my budget just to pay for my procedure. I decided to set up a consult with Dr Esmailian not only because the consult was free but I really liked his before and after pictures since I was going for the natural look and he had awesome reviews on multiple websites ( I'm really big on reviews I look up reviews for everything). At this point I had both Dr Pousti (scheduled for 19th of jan) and Dr Esmailian in mind. When I called Dr Esmailian's office they were able to give me an appointment the same day (jan 8th) for both my mom and I. So we went to our appointment about 20 min from our house this was already a plus compared to the 2 hour San Diego drive. The office was a nice elegant office just a little on the small size but overall upscale looking. Our wait time was great my mom and I asked to be seen together. I was extremely nervous since this was my first consult and I never really had a stranger stare and touch my breast. When Dr Esmailian arrived he examined my breast took measurements and asked if I had any questions. I bein the type of person the researches every brought my list of questions. To my surprise he answered them all with great detail and it was nice to be able to engage in easy going conversation with my doctor. He expressed his opinions about the different incision locations an under the muscle vs over the muscle and silicone vs saline. I really likes how he and I shares similar points of views. During the consult he did tell me that he only believes in periareolar( nipple) and inframammary (crease) incisions. Since he believe my areola is too small I was only given the under the crease option my mom was given both. I was bummed out since I wanted via nipple due to nice scaring but I later did research online and found that my nipples are too small indeed so I'm glad he wasn't willing to go via nipple.
After our exam we met with Sam the office manager. She went over the cost and financing and answered any other questions. Since both my mom and I wanted the procedure she said we were able to get $500 off each procedure if we booked together. We left the office and decided to talk things over. I felt really weird just putti a deposit at the first doctor I seen. However I did feel really comfortable with Dr Esmailian so we decided to book out surgery for Feb 5th. We put $500 down and the rest is due 2 weeks before op date. Our pre op is already jan 16th. I can't believe it's happening so soon. I hope I made the right choice by going with Dr Esmailian. I will keep everyone posted and will be adding before and after pics. Feel free to ask me any question as I know this is a stressful process. My surgery is weeks away and I'm already having sleepless nights. Will post soon!

Hi everyone! Sorry for the late update I've been overwhelmed with deciding if I made the right size choice at my pre-op. I'm debating between 225cc mod+ or 300cc high profile. I hate the idea of high profile all the pictures I like have mod+ profile so I'm bummed out. The 225cc looks so small not sure if I would be happy with my results. I loved the 300cc size but then I hear people going from A to d/dd which scares me. I don't mind having a full B small C since I have nothing but I keep hearing people always want bigger after so I'm confused.

So here are the details:
Yesterday was my pre-op appointment and I was really excited and nervous. Dr. Esmailian asked that I bring in some pictures of my dream boobs. He did tell me to try to limit myself to about two pictures. That was so hard since I originally had like 10, but I understood that it can be overwhelming to have too many pictures to look at. My goal was to have a very natural look with a little bit of upper pole fullness. I was terrified of the very rounded look especially being so small. I knew that because of my small frame and lack of breast tissue I needed to go silicone under the muscle to help get that natural look I want. I went in thinking I would have an option as to where my incision could be made but apparently since my areolas were too small I had to choose inframammary. I wasn't too happy with that just because the scare seem a bit more obvious when looking at it directly but because I'm light skinned my ps said the scar should blend well. I don't I guess we shall see. The upside to selecting that area I that there's no interfering with the milk ducts in the nipple so my chances of breast feeding are good.

So now to the sizing. When I did the rice test at home I liked about 1-1/4 cups of rice which was around 300cc equivalent. I thought the 1-1/2 cups of rice was a little to big. When I tried on the 300cc Mentor sizers I loved them! They were the perfect size. Problem was if I wanted to have 300cc to 325cc, which was my max that he was willing to do for my body frame, I had to go with the High Profile if I wanted to go with the moderate plus I had to decrease my size to about 225-250cc which looked like a big difference in the sizers. I freaked out when I heard the word High profile since I have associated it with "fake looking." Dr. Esmailian was really patient explaining the differences between High and moderate plus profiles he even brought me before and after pictures in the different profiles. He also emphasized that he didn't want me to be disappointed with my size if I went with the moderate plus since I was paying a lot for my new boobs. I went in with a mind set that I wasn't willing to compromise my natural shape I was looking for just to go bigger. However with I was there I trying on the sizers the 250cc looked small. Like I said before I'm not trying to go big I just want like a full B/ C not trying to get close to the D range. My problem is cc volume doesn't guarantee a bra size so I just don't know how happy I would be with 225 cc or how happy I would be having a high profile implant when I want a natural look. Dr Esmailian said high profile would not give me a fake look since they are silicone and small. Idk if that's true that I won't get the fake look but he assured me I would be happy with my results. So I went with High Profile 300cc. Now that I'm Constantly doing research on high profile and I keep getting mixed reviews some say it will make my boobs look fake others say it has more to do with the size of cc than profile I'm just so confused!

I forgot to mention that the doctor believes my breast are different sizes so he said he was going to play around with the sizing to get me as perfect as possible but he can't make them exact since silicone implants are pre filled. How scary! I hope they look even because I never noticed a size difference in my boobs.

I'm wondering if anyone else who has a small frame had similar problems?

This is starting to freak me out I didn't think there were so many decisions I had to make just to get my dream boobs which aren't even guaranteed to Look the way I want them. Well I guess we will see if I made the right choice. I will keep you guys posted.

Just thought I would include some dream boob pictures that I took to show Dr. Esmailian at my pre-op.
