How many ccs did you go with??

Hey there, I think we are in a lot of the same boats! I've always struggled with being thick-thighed with a high, round backside, but no breasts to speak of (and I completely understand what you mean about them changing shape depending whether your nipples are hard), although I have the added distinction of being not-tall (I'd say we have the exact same silhouette, but I'm scaled down a little to account for less height). I've been researching getting a BA on and off for years, to balance out my figure, and have finally decided that I'm going to do it. One thing that's come up for me, specifically, is that, like you, I have a short distance between my inframammary crease (the line where the bottom of the boob meets the ribs) and the bottom of my nipple. This means that, during surgery, the surgeon will most likely need to lower my inframammary crease - if the implants are placed just above the crease as is, my nipples will probably sit too low on my new larger breasts and point downward (if you want to see what this will look like, stand side-on in the mirror and pinch the top of your breast vertically to make the upper pole look "full" as an implant would). Whenever the inframammary crease gets lowered, you get a risk of "double bubble/double contour" if the breast tissue doesn't relax fully over the implant and tries to hold its previous shape (even higher risk if the initial breast tissue is tubular). This can happen even if the implant does not "bottom out" (which is where the implant drops out of the bottom of the pocket the surgeon creates, and can also give a double bubble effect as well as making the nipples point upwards). None of this is to scare you off - after all, I share these features and I'm still going ahead with a BA - but it's something to be aware of and to discuss with your surgeon/s during your consultations. It's not a given that this complication will arise, but it's more likely for someone like you and me than for example someone with tiny breasts but more tissue and/or distance between the nipple and crease. I'm booked in for my augmentation in Bangkok in December. I'm from Brisbane, but live in France and am getting it done on my way back to Australia for an extended visit. I have some "before" pictures uploaded under my profile (I asked a doctor question a few months back) if you want to compare, and I'll post a review story once I get the implants in and at this stage I intend to keep updated progress pictures!

Are you willing to travel for surgery? My doctor has a great technique, Lane Smith in Las Vegas. I love how close he makes the breast, about one finger space. No awkward huge space in between.
