Since the age of 16 I have considered getting a breast aug. After A LOT of research (I couldn't tell you how many hours) and having consults with 3 different surgeons I have finally decided to book in surgery for the 6th of Jan 2013. Have a ot to say about my weight loss journey, issues with PCOS and thoughts/feelings towards breast implants/augmentation. Looking forward to sharing my experience with others !

What I'm working with ....

Hi ladies !
I thought I'd upload a few photos so you can see exactly what the Dr will be working with ! At this stage it looks like I'm going to go under the muscle, high profile, silicone 400 cc. I'm not sure about the size, I'm worried I wont be going big enough. I would love to fit into a big C cup maybe a small D. Not sure what cup size 400 cc will turn out to be on my body, I guess I will have to wait and see. Also not sure about the high profile (I want to look as natural as possible) but I am pretty sure high was recommend due to my nipples being quite low and a few other reasons I have forgotten why so I guess I need to trust the expect !
I have a few questions for you guys !
How did you preparing yourself mentally/emotionally/physically for the op/breasts ?
How long did it take to recover ?
Was it awkward when you went back to work ? Is it obviously when people look/notice ? I'm not sure how I'll feel about this one. I work with a bunch of older men and I'm nervous about there reactions (if they even notice) !!!
Also did any of you feel any quilt/anxiousness about your getting your implants ? I guess I get worried about the money. I sometimes think to myself that I could put it towards or a house, a car, life with my partner, future kids or study. I think If I was to do those other things, I would regret not spending the money and taking the time to get the implants done. Its always reoccurring and I would love to enjoy having breasts while I'm younger.
Also I'm really anxious about something going wrong like an infection/capsular contracture etc.. What did you guys do to calm yourself and stay positive. I am going to one of the best surgeons in Melbourne. His highly recommended so for me if something does happen at least I can say I didn't do it on the cheap or that I didn't do my research. I will follow all his instructions so I'm hoping there wont be any issues or if there is they can be fixed !
Pre op appointment is on the 12th of December, look forward to chatting with Craig and trying some seizers on again ... still doesn't really feel real ! Probably wont until I wake up with boobies !!!

Hey! We have very similar breast types. How tall are you? The taller you are, the more the ccs get eaten up. I'm 5'6" 135 pounds. Going with 397 unders. Just wanted to let you know, yes we all have those anxious feelings. I have mine on and off for about a week and seriously though maybe I shouldn't get them. Well all those thoughts have passed and now I'm all set for my surgery in December. Good luck. Looking forward to your results!
Also, I think your surgery is January 2014 not 2013 :)
September 22, 2013
I'm around 170cm ! :) That's so exciting I hope all goes well for you !! Thanks for letting me know I'll fix the date
September 22, 2013
Also, physically... I'm trying to lose 10 pounds before my surgery. Because you can't do much physical activity afterwardsfor a while.. However, iI'm eating a burrito as we speak.. So who knows how that will go lol. People will notice, but most don't say anything. I'm 20, so pretty young, and my philosophy is to get them while I'm young so I can enjoy by body at its peak! Another site to check out is just breast implant forum. I'm on that and this site ALL the time haha
September 22, 2013
Haha I feel exactly the same about age why wait when you can get them now and enjoy them in your youth ! Have also been on just breast implants these websites are so helpful :) Really excited for you Decembers not far away !!

Good luck hun! I'm not sure about the high profile option, I was told to get moderates because I have low nipples too? But maybe it depends on the brand of implant as well.. I got over my nerves quite easily for the fact that I was sick of crying every time I got dressed to go out! Lol, the positives far out weighed the risks for me, and so far so good! I'm 22 as well, I had to decide whether to do it now or after kids, I ended up going with living for now so I don't regret not doing it down the track :)

Thanks miss ! Your "girls" look amazing you must be so happy. Just read your reviews, loved the humor will keep following you, glad its all been smooth sailing for you. I'm feeling nervous already but mostly excited. Trying to work out a lot while I can also being stronger in the back, arms and core might help with recovery (well I hope so anyways). Not sure about the profile .... will have to look that up. It looks like you had a bit more breast tissue than I do so maybe that has something to do with it. Hope all is feeling well :) Look forward to your next post and will check out your fitness blog.

I definitely know what you mean about feeling guilty and anxious about the money. There are people who are homeless and starving out in the world, and I'm still paying off my student debt, so putting so much money towards something so "vain" seems ridiculous, but in the end I feel like it was totally worth it. I viewed it as an investment towards my personal happiness :) I think 400's would probably work pretty well on you, although if you're going for a more natural look it may be a bit large, especially if you're going with high profile. As far as your questions go, I was at 98% after only a week post-op, but my surgeon specializes in quick recovery techniques. And people noticing? I had been wearing such padded bras my whole life, so most people didn't even notice, and if they did, they didn't say anything haha. I'd suggest slowly adding more volume to your bras over the next couple of months to ease the shock once the surgery's completed though.

Thanks for the advice ! Its nice to know there are others out there who experienced the same emotions I did ! The quick recovery sounds amazing, I hope I experience it too. I have a pre op appointment on the 12th of December so will be a good chance for me to ask Craig a few questions about the profile and why he suggests it for me. Also trying on sizers again will help. The 400 cc seemed to look really in proportion but might be different once the "girls" are actually in !

Hi,
I'm going through all the resurch and all the plastic surgeons it's so difficult to choose. Hope you guys can help me I just found this side and I'm ready so many interesting story's. It's hard to choose the size, my boyfriend and some friends don't want me to have it done and it's a bit hard to spend all the money but I've always wanted them.... Hope you guys can recommend some surgeons and give me some good feed back.. Thanks Em

Hi Em ! Where abouts do you live ? If you live in Melbourne definitely recommend having a consult with Craig Rubinstein ! The surgeon will be able to measure you and recommend what size he thinks you should go. I'm sure your boyfriend and friends and just worried about the safety side of things ! I am sure once you book in and get them done they will accept it and support you
September 29, 2013
Hi,
Yes I do live in Melbourne and saw a few plastic surgeons already but still not sure about it.... I do want them but I'm scared as well... Thanks for the reply and hope all goes well for you
Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf. After reading your first post, I feel like I've read the first chapter of a really good book and I can't wait to get back to reading it! Glad to hear you did plenty of research. I'm certain all your time and effort will pay off. Do you know what type and size implant you'll be getting? Keep us posted!
