WORTH IT$6,500
I'm finally doing it: starting the wheels in motion and taking control of my future!
I've always been super small, and around seventh grade I completely stopped growing. I'm about 5'7" and have stayed between 105-108 lbs and about 10% body fat over the past thirteen years. I'm also Asian, so my ribcage is super tiny and my overall frame is pretty small compared to non-Asian girls around my height. Currently I'm a 32AA but really only fit in soft cup bras because I still get air pockets in regular molded cup AA bras. Booooo.
I always had a complex about my flat chest growing up (didn't help that my mom constantly referred to them as "cheerios" and "mosquito bites"), and at 27 I still have days where I feel totally shitty about them. After I matured a little bit and started losing the baby fat in my face, I felt less like a child, and I would feel a little better on very rare days because I'm one of those annoying people who can compare her body type to models and not feel shitty and fat. Some days I really love how the line of my body looks, but mostly that's when I'm wearing certain things that were cut specifically for a long, lean (but more importantly, FLAT) body type.
My boyfriend loves me and worships my body but he's also a dude and certainly wouldn't mind having a little more to play around with. I'm planning on something comparable to a standard B cup (yeah, I know cup sizing isn't accurate for BA) because of how narrow my frame is, and the fact that I still want to have the look of being slim and modelesque sometimes. Anything larger would just feel vulgar on my body - not that there's anything wrong with glorious large breasts, because trust me, I totally toyed around with the idea of totally going for it and getting the whole stripper package, but that's totally not me and I'm totally okay with just wearing a pushup bra for the days I want to feel like a pornstar.
I'm taking control of my destiny and making the decision to take away my excuses for not feeling freaking amazing about myself 365 days a year. I'm tired of looking like a child and feeling asexual, and I deserve to treat myself to something I've wanted for so very long.
I have a consultation next week and am super excited to officially start this journey, after battling with myself for years over the decision. I'm so ready to ditch my training bras!

Wish Boobies
I had a little anxiety a few nights ago and gotr unnecessarily upset because my boyfriend and I were being intimate and we started imagining what my new body will look like. He likes proportion and knows they need to be smaller on my frame because of my build, but he still loves big juicy ones (analagous to DDs on me) and the way he was talking made it seem like that's what he was hoping for. I just felt horrible about it because I felt like the ones I want wouldn't even be big enough for him, so how must he really feel about the ones I barely have now?
Well, I showed him pictures a couple days ago and he is 100% in agreement about the size, even though I thought he wanted bigger. He even said that anything bigger would just look silly on me, although there's nothing wrong with big ones - exactly what I was thinking. Thank goodness I picked a good one :)
My current stats are:
5'7"
105-108 lbs
31 bust, 32 AA
23-24 waist
34 hips

I know how you feel although, I'm 5'7" and very large framed (and over weight on top of that). I was called grapenuts by my friends when I was younger and it sucked. I'm 37 and thought about doing this for years. I say go for it. I know you will look beautiful no matter what size you chose. Large breasts are great, but according to your measurements a B cup would look fab on you. I just want to look in proportion to my body. Good luck and go to a few consultations until you find a surgeon that you love.

Thanks, beautiful! Isn't it so pathetic how mean people are to each other? Especially family and friends who are supposed to cxare about you?
Good luck with your new additions - I see your surgery is coming up soon! You will love them and they will look amazing, don't worry!
April 19, 2014
Thank you!!! And, yes, friends and family too, don't realize how cruel they can be. I'm so excited, it's starting to seem real now!!.

Concerns
After reading a ton of reviews from other women, the thing I'm most concerned about during healing is constipation and bloating. I pride myself on my regularity (ha) and I get anxiety thinking about how stopped-up I will probably feel. My boyfriend had hernia surgery last year and he was horribly constipated for over a week and I can't even handle thinking about it, ugh.

I'm 5'7'' and thin but more in the 125 range before surgery. I have always been known to be thin, but at 3 weeks out I still feel fluffy and not like my normal thin self. My boobs help to make me feel better, but I have NEVER felt this fluffy around the middle! I say this because, for your height your weight is very low so being thin must be very important to you. It seems like you are shooting for a realistic size for your BMI. I highly recommend Smooth Move Tea to get you regular again. Good luck to you! See my profile for a pretty in detail review. :-)

Being thin isn't important to me, it's just the way I am :) I know any bloating and constipation will resolve themselves, but it's funny because I'm more concerned about the discomfort from feeling bloated and stuffed-up than the pain from actually getting my body cut into, ha :)

When is your surgery scheduled? Congrats! I just read that you are concerned about bloating and constipation. I felt the same since I'm very regular, and I hate that feeling when I can't do #2. I know it is silly, but I get you. My experience was great, and I was able to go #2 on day 3 which is pretty amazing. Since then, I'm regular like before surgery. So, what makes you constipated are medicines. The more you use them, the more constipated you will be. You can help yourself by drinking a lot of liquids a week before your surgery. Miralax is great for constipation. I used it in the past, and it takes a few days to start working. It is safe to use around surgery too. Prune juice made me gassy, and didn't help at all. You have Senna tea that is good too, more gentle then Ducolax. I hope all goes well with you. Good luck!

Hi Nikki, no surgery date yet! I have a consultation on Tuesday but I have to work around weird scheduling deadlines at work because I'm running a few projects that I need to be there for... I'm like you, I hate that "stuffy" feeling (TMI I feel so cleaned out after #2 that I'm dreading not being able to) and I have a feeling that will make me crabbier than anything else. I'm more about the natural route (ironic, with me getting BA) so I will probably just stock up on senna teas and hope my body catches back up pretty quickly. My boyfriend had hernia surgery last summer and was stopped up for almost four weeks, and he goes more than me! That's pretty much my worst nightmare!

Try Miralax. It worked for me every single time. You take that regularly, every day, and it takes about 3 days to start working. What it does is to make your bowels keep more water from your diet. It is safe.

How was your nausea? Were you able to eat pretty regularly soon after surgery? I like to go, and I like to eat.
April 19, 2014
I didn't have any nausea at all. I had upset stomach a week after, and I knew it was because medicines were out of my system. I follow very clean diet, and I wasn't used to that heavy medication. My anesthesiologist did a great job. I got anti-emetic medicines while I was under anesthesia, and I got Zofran. I used Zofran just two days, Percocet for day and a half. I was pretty much pain free. Until I hurt myself... But that happens. You just have no idea what you can and what you can't do once you get better. So, I was on a very light diet after surgery. I went back to my normal diet after 2 weeks. For those 2 weeks, I ate chicken noodle soups, protein shakes, bars, vitamin juices, fruit, waffles . I couldn't eat anything heavy or fatty.
April 19, 2014
I'm a pretty clean vegetarian anyway, about 99% vegan, so diet shouldn't be a huge issue since there isn't much junk there to begin with to get too clogged up. My boyfriend already knows I will have to rely on him 100% for the first few days and he is so eager to wait on me hand-and-foot so I can lie around like a princess :)
April 19, 2014
That is wonderful. You might need him longer, so enjoy while it lasts. ;) Good luck!
