Hello, and thank you to the community for taking the time to share your journeys! I have been lurking around for about 2 weeks now gathering all the info I can on everything BA. I scheduled my first consult for April 22 which was the earliest I could get in to the top notch surgeon in my area. The waiting is killing me! I wish I was getting them tomorrow!! I would like to schedule my surgery for May 16 if my doc still has a slot for me.

Here are my stats: I'm 33 years old and a married mother of 2 toddler boys, (20 mos and 4 yrs) both breast fed for about 6 mos each. I am 5'4" and weigh 113 lbs. My ribcage measures 29" and my breasts are currently 31.5". I found out during my research that this makes me a 30B, however I have been wearing a VS 32A Bombshell bra for years with a huge 1" gap between the top of my breast and the bra. I guess I should have known I was wearing the wrong size all this time, but its hard to find high quality super padded bras in odd sizes! Oh, and I have been wearing super duper padded bras since I was 13 years old, so I guess I have ALWAYS known that I would get implants. I do remember looking at my mothers breasts when I was about 16 years old thinking, "I wonder when I'm going to get those". Of course they never came. Before kids My breasts were slightly larger, but I have always felt like I have the chest of an 11 year old girl.
I am thinking that I would like 400cc silicone unders. I don't know what my bwd is but since I am petite I am guessing my doc will suggest high profile. Anyone else out there with my similar build/ measurements? What did you end up with in the end? My waist is 25" and my hip is 32" but my booty is 37" so I would like to look more proportionate but I don't want my new breasts to totally disappear under my clothes. I also don't want my end result to be something I can achieve with my bombshell bras, I want it slightly larger than that.

With my bombshell bra My breasts measure 33.5" or what most people would say looks like a full B under clothes. I love the look of a 32D and that's really what I'm going for, think Katy Perryish. I did the rice testers at home and I love the look of 350ccs so that's what leaves me with wanting 400ccs since I believe you lose a little volume going under the muscle? What do you all think? I am scared that my PS will tell me no and that I am too small for that size. I am more nervous about that than my actual surgery! I want nice, large, perky breasts!

Speaking of surgery, I am a little nervous about getting sick from the anesthesia afterwards. I had extremely complicated pregnancies which resulted in 4 different surgeries, half of which I has severe vomiting after. I am terrified of that happening again! Anyone else out there with severe motion sickness who did really well after surgery? This would def ease my mind a little! I am prepared to really hammer it in to the minds of my surgical team that I have a high risk of post operative nausea & vomiting.

Thanks again for any replies, ladies! I appreciate the support from the community while I wait what feels like foooooooorrrrrrreeeeeevvvvveeeerrrrr!

Also, I am curious as to whether some girls can still fit into their old bathing suit tops? I just got a fab deal on some Brazilian designer bikinis and I'm praying I can still squeeze my breasts into them afterwards!

Thank you!

Hi! I'm post op day 6 today! Love them and have no regrets!! I'm a little bigger than you 5'6" 127lbs, tiny butt(wish it was bigger) and prob has the same Pre-op size boobs. I went with 492cc under the muscle and they def don't look too big. This was my first surgery but I was given nausea medication before (pills), during (IV) and after (pills) and had no issues at all. I'm sure they will have you covered with the nausea meds but def make sure you tell them your issues so they can up the dose! Good luck and keep us all posted!!

Hi luvhuskies, I read your whole story a couple of days ago and got a couple of chuckles out of you arguing with your hubby over the size and wanting to up your size with the ps w/o him noticing:) The same thing has happened to me with my hubby and a close girlfriend- both of which made me feel somewhat "attacked" over what size I want to go with when I mentioned a "D" cup. I tried to explain that a 30D and a 38D are two very different sizes but no one really listens to me! Anyway, I'm still going to do what I want but they did manage to (briefly) make me question the 400ccs decision. That's why I decided to post on here where I will get some real understanding and helpful, encouraging feedback, so thank you for responding. Your breasts look beautiful and I am SO EXCITED to get some of my own!

My hubby flipped out when I decided I wanted D instead of C which I originally said LOL! Well after surgery he now agrees that they aren't too big at all and he really likes them! I told him they wouldn't be too big but typical male didn't listen and thinks he's always right!!

Hi there! Good luck with your surgery! I'm a little over a month PO and if any doubt go bigger. I did 425 and they are not super big, wish I had done at least 475.

Thank you Jenni! Your breasts are a great size for your frame and they look awesome!

Hi there I'm 5'3 about 120 and I'm also very petite. I had my surgery almost 6 weeks ago and I went with 385 mod + profile silicone under the muscle and I live them they r just the right size 4 my frame. I was hoping 2 go bigger but my ps said I was so small and I had very little breast tissue 2 work with so I trusted him and I love my results.

FLsungirl79

April 9, 2013

Hey Jenn, thanks for the reply! Your breasts look awesome- I love the look of the mod+ profile! It really helps to know what size other girls have gone with who are similar to my size and what the end result looks like. I would be totally happy with breasts that look like yours!

I'm sure u will achieve great results as well just trust yr ps and everything will b fine. And I am like u as well as far as the sickness from being put 2 sleep. Every time I have ever been out 2 sleep I have woke up sick as a dog. I told my ps my fear of being sick and he told me that they would put something n my iv that would prevent that and sure enough when I woke up I wasn't sick at all. So just tell yr ps and I'm sure they will give u something.

Hi there I get motion sickness from being in the car too long; lol; when I woke up from surgery I was so naeous; Omg; I thought I was going to puke or something; my docter put a motion sickness patch on me; but I still felt sick; I just have a weak stomach; I know it was worth it; I love the results of my breast; don't worry you will do fine;

Ask your PS for Med's so you won't get sick. I asked for them and I was perfectly fine. I was not sick at all, not even on the way home. Most of my surgeries I've had... Omg I wanted a zip loc bag for the car ride home. I was fine with the Med's. You'll look great, go big.... You won't hate them and your partner will be in love. good luck...

My Consultation is 1 week away now! I'm so excited, I'm ready to jump right out of my skin! It's weird because I've literally been waiting to do this for 15 years but once I decided NOW is the time, it's been so hard to wait!

My measurements were very similar to yours and I have a very petite frame as well. I went with my doctor's "max recommendation" for my size, which was 325cc HP silicone under the muscle. I'm 5 months out now I went to get measured at Victoria's Secret a couple of weeks ago and they measured me at a 32DD. I LOVE them. Trust your doctor's recommendation for your body and good luck at your consultation!

Hi JustLJ, thanks for responding to my post! It's very nice to hear from some ladies that are a few months down the road. It's also awesome hear what you got and what you are measuring now. If you get around to it, I would love to see a photo of them Now in a bra. Just like everyone else, I am afraid to go to big or too small:) on a side not, I am originally from Dayton...OH!

I just uploaded 2 new pics. I need to take some more but these kind of show you the difference with/without a push up bra. My frame is narrow, but my breasts are naturally kind of far apart - so the bra makes a big difference in how they look on me. The bra in the photo is a 32D and it fits pretty well but most of the other 32D's I bought early on are a little too small now - so I'm going to get some 32DD's from VS. They fit great. :) Never thought I'd be saying that. I know exactly what you mean about wanting to go as big as you can but not so big that you will be more likely to bottom out. I think choosing the size was the hardest part. And crazy that you're originally from Dayton! Small world! :)

Um, first of all - TWO kids and a stomach like that?!?!?! Ugh, I need to get back to my workouts LOL! Ok, seriously though, as for your concerns re: getting sick postop, my PS (and several others on here, I've seen) prescribed me a Scopolamine patch - it's an anti-nausea med that you place behind your ear, usually the night before surgery. If you've reacted badly to anesthesia before, you might at least ask about that. Also you might stock up on Ginger Ale or Sprite/7-up and saltines... Sizewise, you're a bit smaller than me (I'm 5'2", 125# - well, 128 lately -- I REALLY need to get back on my workouts! -- and got 300cc unders, which was the max my PS was willing to do for me. Also, I have actually been able to fit into pretty much all my old triangle bikini tops, though I'm still working on getting used to how the cups need to be placed for optimal coverage and no "wardrobe malfunctions"! I really haven't tried my old pushup halters... I suppose I should probably do that, make sure they'll actually cover what needs covered. Good luck at your consult!

Thanks hm331, for your response! I read your review and laughed out loud when I read you were looking like a bug trying to right itself when you would lay on your tummy~ so funny because I can picture it:) Thanks for saying my stomach looks flat, I can't wait for my boobs to stick out farther than it, and my rib cage of course! LOL! Thanks for the advise about the nausea patch, I will talk to my dr about that. My only concern with it is that I have seen a few girls get sick when they remove the patch and that worries me a lil:) Your boobs look great, did you get mod+ or HP?

April 21, 2013

OMG, I kinda wish I had a video of the first few times I got on/off my stomach! It was a little funny at the time, though I wasn't sure whether to laugh at the sheer ridiculousness of the situation or cry because it was so uncomfortable - now I'm sure it would probably just be funny! ;) The only problem I had with my patch is that it was soooo drying; my throat was almost a little sore because I was so dry! I ended up with mod profile (according to their ID cards) though I'd initially thought he said high. Hope your consult goes well - and you could probably talk to them about some of your questions re: the kiddos. They may have gotten previous feedback from other patients as well.

Hi there FLsungirl, I have to agree with the previous poster, or tummy is ROCKING!!!! Go go girl :-) I just wanted to let u know that I too suffer from severe motion sicknesses, and vertigo acts up every now and then. My anesthesiologist gave me a scope patch as soon as I got to surgery center and then put several different meds in my IV to prevent nausea coming out of anesthesia, of course I was skeptical but let me tell ya, I hadZERO nausea or any sickness at all coming out of surgery. He was an Angel :-)

So tomorrow is my consult and I am soon excited...

FLsungirl79April 21, 2013

So tomorrow is my consult and I am soon excited because I have been waiting on this for 5 weeks! I have researched and measured and looked at about a thousand pairs of breasts and I am quite literally at the point where I can get no more information without seeing my doctor and getting his measurements and recommendations. Now I am nervous that he will tell me I am too small built to get the look I am going for. I've made up my mind that I will trust him to give me the implant that my body can handle tho, and also that I will try not to be fixated on CCs:)
I cannot have my surgery until my kids are finished with their swimming lessons which are 3 days a week until May 15. I have a 20 month old who I have to be in the pool with, and of course still be able to lift and carry at that point. In the mean time, I am teaching him to climb on a beanbag in his crib so I can back up to it and get him out having him wrap his arms around my neck so I can lift him out with my back instead of my arms. I am also teaching him to get in and out of his carseat himself using a stool so he gets used to doing this on his own before my surgery. If there are any other moms out there that had little ones to care for after their surgery and have advise, I would appreciate it! My surgery is on a Weds and by Monday I will be on my own my own again with my kids (20 mos and 4 years).

Just gonna say that I don't have kids and my stomach doesn't look anywhere near as awesome as yours!! Good for you!! I'm a little bigger than you 5'6" 125# and I was a around a 36A and that's a little generous. I got 492cc silicone unders almost 3 weeks ago and I LOVE them!! Best decision ever and like most people say def go bigger! I was supposed to go 420cc and right before hopping on OR table I asked him to go up a size. Good luck with your consult and keep us posted!!

Luvmyhuskies, OMG you have a fantastic figure, I don't know what you're talking about! LOL! Your breasts look amazing! 492 sounds big, but they are perfect for your body. I am always amazed on the wide range of sizes on girls with similar body types and how perfect they end up looking. Thanks for your reply, I love to see girls who have been through it, and following the recovery process really helps a ton!

Ok...you have an amazing body! It's going to look even more amazing soon! I wish I bounce back like that after my kids (I'm also a thousand years older than you so ill blame that! Lol!). I have a 2.5 year old and 6 mos old. I love your ideas about the beanbad and step stool! I hadn't ears that but in certainly going to try it! My surg is on May 13th (lower facelift an BA). I have always thrown up after general...I'm super worried about that too..I havent heard anything about a patch from my ps..I'll ask for sure though! Keep posting about you ideas for kiddos! My ps said after 10 days I can knead beside them and lift with my legs but I can't lift out of the crib (my 6 month old). I don't know what to do about that!! :(
