THEY'RE HERE!! 32, 5'4" & 140lbs., muscular/athletic, 397cc Mod+ silicone unders!

I am excited beyond words, because my BA is scheduled for May 12th, 2015!!! A little about me first off; I am a 32-year old, single gal who has never had children. I am 5'4", 142lbs, and what I would consider very athletic. My area of expertise is heavy weight lifting (e.g. currently squatting 5x5 @ 190lbs, deadlifting 1x5 @ 240lbs), with a little low-impact cardio mixed in for good measure. My bra size is a 32(small)B. If I lose a little weight, it comes off of my boobs. I guess to say they are "not full/kind of deflated" with be an accurate statement. I am a curvy gal (39" hips, 27" waist) and I do not feel I have enough up top to balance me out.

There are a few reasons I'd like to get a BA. Number one, is I have always, ALWAYS had small breasts. And, I have always, ALWAYS been self-conscious of my small breasts! I remember back in middle school when all of my friends developed, but I never really did. It was very sad! I kept hoping and wishing that my chest would get bigger......but nope. Never did. Fast forward 20 years, and I still think it is very sad. I can't wear certain dresses or tops, because I do not fill them out properly. I long to be able to wear sexy lingerie and be able to actually look like I have boobs, instead of said sexy lingerie simply flattening out what little bit I *do* have. You would not believe how sick and tired I am of buying padded, push-up bras!

Secondly, I work in a field which is dominated by about 89% men, and where we all wear the same uniform on a daily basis (use your imaginations people -- you can probably figure it out!) I feel so...blah. I feel like I look like a guy while at work. I understand that, in my line of work, it's not desirable - from a professional standpoint - to look all girly and feminine. But, on the days when I am NOT working (which are few and far between) and I am wearing regular person clothes, and I choose to go shopping or go out with friends, I want to look and feel feminine. And, right now, I don't. Thank you, small boobs!

And lastly, I just got out of a nearly 7-year long relationship with my significant other. Simply put: After nearly 7 years of taking care of somebody else, and being the load-bearer of the relationship (housework, cooking, cleaning, animal care, making sure everything is taken care of, holding his hand because he couldn't do anything on his own, etc.) it is TIME. Time to do something for ME. I owe this to myself!

So, May 12th is the day!

I had my consult at Dr. Richard Tholen's office on March 11th. I arrived just before 08:00 and filled out some paperwork, and didn't have to wait for very long before his nurse (who is awesome, I might add! Very cool chick) called me back. We discussed some of the particulars about the implants themselves, and she asked if I had any questions. Of course one of my main questions was work, and how much time I'd have to take off. She suggested 4 (!!!) weeks. We also discussed the working out thing, as well as a couple of other particulars...and then we got to try on sizers! This is wear I got a little worried!! I slipped on a sports bra, and tried on a pair of 400cc sizers. They looked good and felt good, but I figured "hey, I am here, so let's try one size up!" The next sizers were 457cc's. I think that's where I reached the limit. They looked and felt a little to big, and a little too heavy. His nurse did tell me that Dr. Tholen will add 100cc's to whichever size I choose, due to the implant placement (under the muscle, in my case.) Uhhhhh.....500cc's!?!?! Seems hyuge for me!

After trying on sizers, I met with Dr. Tholen. He is a really, really nice guy! He is very educated and smart, and talented at what he does (he has great before and after photos on his website!) He is down to earth, and has a good sense of humor. He echoed his nurse in saying I'd need at least 4 weeks off from work. We discussed the exercise thing a little more, and also some particulars on implant profile. In my mind, I wanted Moderate Plus profile. After taking my measurements, Dr. Tholen said he would not know which profile OR size he'd be using, until I was in the operating room. He stated it all depends on the size of the pocket he can create. He did say that based on my measurements, a Mod+ profile would most likely work the best. I did bring some pictures along with me, but did not give them to him. I'll wait until surgery to do that. Also, he never asked what my "ideal size" is (for me, that's a full 34C or even a small 34D.) But, as I understand it, surgeons do not like to go by cup size for sizing; it's all about the cc's!

So, for now, all I know is that my surgery is scheduled for 10:30 on May 12th, 2015, and I am going with Allergan cohesive gel silicone implants!!!
