30 Years Old 5'8" 135lbs Active/Athletic No Kids 450cc (left)/500cc (right) Mentor HP Memory Gel submuscular implants

This has to be the best site I could have stumbled across in my researching of breast augmentation information! I enjoy reading everyone's experiences and getting an idea of what to expect when I finally go in!

So, a bit about myself...Currently 5'8", 128lbs with a 32b cup size. No kids. I'm very active, doing weight training 5-6 days a week and playing rec soccer 2 days a week. I was very active back in high school, participating in sports throughout all 4 years. I have always been smaller chested in comparison to my family (my mom and sis are both in the D range...seems I got my aunt's genes, as she was smaller chested as well) and a lot of my friends. The only time I was ever larger than a 32b was for a few years after high school, when I was no longer playing any sports and packed on an extra 20lbs. At that point, I was 165lbs with a 34-36b cup.
My husband joined the Marines in 2005 and deployed to Iraq in 2008. During the time he was away, I picked up sports again to keep myself occupied, playing on my employer's coed volleyball and softball teams. From there, I got back into soccer, playing indoor 3 days a week (2-3 games a night...I kept super busy while he was away!). I also started eating healthier and doing at-home workout routines. As the weight started to come down, so did my bust size. :(
My husband and I did the Insanity program in 2012 and then got into weight training after that. I have been doing weight training for about 2 years, and, while I'm in good shape, my chest has suffered. I wear a 32b, but that's on my 'good' side. My left side is my larger breast and fills out the cup nicely, if not almost overfills it. My right side, however, is much smaller and does not fill the cup at all. So, aside from being small, I am also asymmetrical. I get that all women have a bit of asymmetry, but I feel like mine is exaggerated by the fact that the left side of my chest cavity protrudes more than my right. Thus the reason for the gap in implant sizes I will need.
Over the past year, I have grown more and more unsatisfied with my breasts. When I workout, I feel like I have a kid's physique because the boobs just aren't there. If I ever buy/wear lingerie, I get upset because I'll buy the smallest size I can fit into and my boobs still do not fill out the cups, even if I measure correctly. I just don't feel like a 30 year old woman. I have always thought about getting a breast augmentation, but always held out thinking I'd be a late bloomer. My mom and sis had big boobs, so there was still a chance I'd get them, right? Wrong. 30 years old and smaller than I was in HS! Such a confidence killer for me. All I want to do is fill out a bra/lingerie/bikini/dress/shirt nicely and have a girlish figure! I also worried about what others would think of me if they knew I wanted to get breast implants. I still do! I have only told a couple of my closest friends and obviously my husband knows (he's the one that has been supporting me with this whole process, encouraging me to go with whatever it is I want to do). The friends I have told have been supportive and are excited for me. Some others (including family) that I have casually mentioned the possibility of getting surgery to have not had supportive things to say. So I have not yet told them I plan to go through with this. But, I just keep telling myself, this is for me, not for them!

And here we are now...going through consultations and finally having the nerve to set a surgery date!
I had 3 consultations with 3 different surgeons. The 3rd surgeon I saw (Dr. Deborah Pan) was actually my top choice based on all the positive reviews and all the other research I did when looking for a plastic surgeon, but I could not see her until the end of September. I had my meeting with her Sept 29th and right off the bat I liked her. She is very professional but kind, very knowledgeable and informative and listens to what you have to say. She answered all the questions I had (at least the ones I remembered to ask while I was there). She is also very confident in her work (and rightfully so! Her patients' post op photos were outstanding!). She asked me what I was looking to accomplish looks wise and my original goal was just to get a full C. But as I continue to review others' progress photos and experiences, I'm leaning more towards a D cup. Being that I am very active, I don't want to go too large that it interferes with my activities, but I also don't want to regret not going large enough for my height and frame (all the surgeons I consulted with said the number one complaint from women is they didn't go big enough). I want to go as large as my frame will allow without it looking totally fake.

When consulting with Dr. Pan and trying on sizers, I started with a 250cc on the left and 350cc on the right (I have about a 100cc difference in size due to the chest cavity issue I mentioned earlier). Those were nice, but they didn't make me look much bigger than I look when I'm wearing a push-up bra. So we moved to 350cc/450cc. Those looked good and were not too large/heavy. She then had me go 450cc/550cc just to see how that felt/looked. 550cc was a bit too large and heavy for my liking. She agreed that the 350cc/450cc split was the best option for what I'm looking for and based on my activity level. I did not do a lot of research prior to the consultations regarding implant profile, so I did not ask if she would suggest a moderate or high profile implant (or any other profile type), but from searching around on here and online, I feel maybe a HP silicone implant would be best. I will discuss that more with her in my next appointment. I also plan to see if I could try out maybe a 375cc/475cc sizer to see if that would be perfect or still too big. Quite honestly, even looking at women who have a similar body style to mine, it seems everyone has a different result with smaller/bigger implants so I'm not entirely sure what size would give me the desired result I want. But I'm sure my surgeon and I will figure it out!

That's it for now. I have my next appointment on October 15th to fill out surgery paperwork. Not sure what else they might have me do, but I shall find out.
At this point, I'm super excited, but also anxious and nervous! I didn't even think I'd actually set up a surgery date. I've only had surgery once, and that was to have my wisdom teeth removed over 10 years ago, so I'm very nervous to get surgery. I have to say it was a bit of a relief to see that I am not the only one with these feelings based on what I've read here. I just hope come the day of surgery that I can keep it calm, cool, collect. I'm looking forward to some new clothes and some newfound confidence! More to come...

I know there's a bit of a variance in the sizes, but I'd like to be somewhere in this spectrum of size. I'd like to actually have cleavage!

I am getting a bit antsy waiting for next month. I have an appointment Thursday at 9:30am to fill out paper work and stuff, but I'm just ready to get to next month! The longer I wait, the more time I have to talk myself out of it, as I tend to do with most things. I've always wanted to do this, but I start to think about what people will think of me and say to me. I haven't told many people (only my husband knows and 2 of my close friends) because I don't want to hear what a lot of them have to say. If I hear too much negative feedback, that would influence my decision too, even though it shouldn't. I also look at other female lifters and think 'not all of them have implants...should I just be happy with how I look and not get them?' Some days I'm super pumped about the idea of having boobs, other days I get anxious and nervous and start to worry about the surgery itself. So, I just really want the day to get here so that I can just stop thinking about it and do it! I continue to review other peoples' experiences and see how happy they all have been with their decision, so I just try to keep focusing on the fact that I've thought about doing this since high school and I finally can do it and it's not much longer until it happens! I just need to get out of my own head and just focus on getting ready for next month. :)
