WORTH IT$6,000
Hello all! Let me just start by saying I love this site. It gives both good and bad stories and gives so much real insight into what BA surgery is like. I have always wanted big boobs, as i have big hips ans thighs. Up untill recently, i weighed about 160lbs. This past february i decided that i was finally going to lose the weight! Im down to 125lbs.
Ive never been called skinny my entire life but darn if it doesnt feel amazing to hear that now. Took so much hard work and i still have a lot of toning up to do, but very happy.
Anyways, my boobs have deflated and look pitiful. I only had B's to start with and now with the weight loss im even less. Ive decided to go with mid profile saline, under muscle, inframammary Inscision, btwn 300-400cc (undecided). I want to end up with a nice D cup to balance myself out. Surgery is 2.5 weeks away and i couldnt be more excited!!
Xoxo

I've added a bunch of "before" pix, i know its super helpful for me to see other ladies with my same body type!! I am 5'5", 125 lbs, size 2/3 pants and size sm or med shirt. I have a fairly wide ribcage and short torso. I would add full body pix but i have distinguishing tattoos that i'd rather keep hidden!
I was laughing at myself today thinking of all the ridiculous things I used to do to make my boobs looks bigger... mind you I started stuffing my bra in middle school! I used foam inserts, gel pads, socks, tissues, wearing multiple bras, and even taping my boobs together with duct tape! Good heavens. But after 12/19/2012 I will no longer have to do that! Yippee!

Good luck with the choice of your new bewbies! 400 cc would look good on your frame !! I go in tomorrow at 730 am for my BA! I am getting high profile 400 cc cohesive gel :) !! Oo also congrats on the weight loss!!

How did you do? I did 375cc high-profile Cohesive gel. On my 4th day now and I'm in so much pain!! They are also rock solid. Are you experiencing the same?
December 7, 2012
Alex2012 I'm doing very well! The only pain I had was tightness. I am not on anything for my ba besides robax and Advil. I am not tight anymore nor am I sore.. I'm sorry your not feeling well.. And rock solid? Keep them iced .. I've been keeping ice on the girls and a heating pad on my back and drinking tons of green tea!! No more brushing or swelling for me. And really I shouldn't have to drop much more! I love them! I hope yours settle down for you.. Did they prescrib you a band to wear around the top of you? I found that helped with the spasms... Ttys

Thank you so much for answering. My dr said no ice and no green tea. They are super tight and the incisions hurt a lot. I'm doing the massage religiously, though. Maybe it's just me. :(

Also forgot to mention my right breast is noticeably smaller than the left... but my PS isn't sure if we should differentiate the CC's. Any thoughts/experience with this?? Thanks!
December 3, 2012
Welcome! Did your PS mention how big of a difference he thinks it is? From the pictures I can't tell a difference. Everyone has 2 different sized breasts... I am also a little worried that it will be evident in myself after my BA, but I have miniscule sized breasts to begin with so the CC difference likely isn't enough to worry about 2 different sized implants. I think your breasts are beautiful already - I would kill to look like that, but I think having implants will only enhance your shape and fullness.

Hi mariebee! She said about a 20-30cc difference between the R and L, which she can fix without using two diff size implants (just fill them a bit differently). I'm just worried that it will look MORE noticeable than before! But the best thing is to trust her judgement.. I'm sure it will look fab :)

Good luck with your upcoming surgery. Yours is the day before mine. Keep us posted :)

OK ladies I had my sizers appointment today and boy was that confusing! Everything I tried on looked HUGE on me. I guess I'm so used to being flat and wearing sports bras all the time... I thought I looked like an alien. Anyways I added two pictures.. I think I'm going with 360 CC implants... but then they get filled to 390, but then they get compressed by 10% because of submuscular so they look like 360? You can see why I was confused! sigh... I guess trusting my surgeon and my instincts is the only thing to do. I'd rather err on the side of going a little small than going too big. I know a lot of women post BA wish they had gone the next size up, but i'd rather be a little conservative! Plus your risk of complications like bottoming out increase the bigger you go. Anyway let me know what ya'll think! Can't beleive it's only two weeks away... eek!

You're boobs don't look pitiful at all, I think they have a great shape already! Which means your end result will probably be very nice and natural, they're gonna look great! I would just trust your doctor on the size, you have a good amount of breast tissue so I think the overfilled 360cc implant will fill you out very nicely.

Congrats on that weight loss! That's a lot of work and you're very dedicated to have done it. Please keep us posted!
