ORIGINAL POST
I read tons of reviews on this site after going in...
WORTH IT$9,700
I read tons of reviews on this site after going in for a consultation with my PS a few weeks ago. Now that I've scheduled my surgery date, it's my turn to contribute. Reading the honest and uncensored experiences that others have gone through has been so helpful as I made my decision, and now as I'm mentally preparing myself for what recovery will be like.
I just turned 30 this year, and getting a BA is something I've always had in the back of my mind. I guess it has something to do with age, but this year I finally stopped caring about what others think and decided it was about time I started living my life for me. After my consultation I was excited but incredibly nervous about all of the risks involved. I went back for a "try on" a couple weeks later which is what reeled me in -- once I had the implants stuffed in my bra, I didn't want to give them back!! Now I can really visualize my curvier, happier self and I can't wait for my surgery on October 9th.
I have a fairly tall/slender frame and a really small upper body in general (as you can see in my pictures I have a really bony chest, always been that way) so I'm concerned about going too big and looking unnatural. At my try-on I looked at 280, 300, and 330 cc and I think the 300 looked the best. My PS will try all three and then pick the one that looks the most natural. I think he has a great aesthetic and understands what I want, so I'm confident it will turn out great.
One thing I'm not sure about is going over or under the muscle. My PS says that the 300cc could probably go over the muscle on me, but any bigger and it would definitely need to be under. It seems like under the muscle looks more natural, so I'm thinking of going with that regardless, but I'm nervous about the additional pain and recovery time. Any advice?
I posted some before pics as well as wish pics. Six weeks to go!!

One month to go!
My BA is about a month away now. I'm getting more excited by the day -- I wish it were sooner! I got my pre-op packet in the mail from my PS, which has all the necessary prescriptions and homeopathics to purchase, and lists of things to do to prepare for surgery.
I started doing some surgery shopping this week. I ordered some front-close bras from WalMart and a couple of stretchy no-wire bras to wear in the weeks after surgery. I also ordered a wedge pillow to help me sleep upright, which I learned about from reading the reviews on this site -- thanks ladies!
As I was getting ready for yoga this morning, I couldn't help but think how great my favorite tank tops are going to look after my BA!! Here's another before picture -- keep in mind this tank top has padded inserts in it. Can't wait to compare in a few weeks.

I would suggest going under muscle, it will look more natural & you're less likely to have CC scaring. I really wanted a natural look as well, I have 425cc Mod plus silicone under muscle & I love them. Just know that u will loose about 25cc's going under muscle & the recovery takes a little longer. My friend said the only thing she regrets is going over the muscle & not doing silicone.
I wish u all the best & look forward to seeing how you progress :)

Thanks excitedflower :) I'm so glad that I joined this site -- I've learned so much! I've decided to go under the muscle for sure, and I'm leaning towards a bigger implant (330cc). I want to go back for one more try-on before the big day just to be sure. Your BA turned out wonderful, congratulations!!!

Decisions, Decisions
I went to see my PS today for one last pre-op visit. I explained that I decided to go a bit bigger, and now the plan is to go with either 339cc or 370cc. 339 will get me to a full C and possibly a small D, and with the 370 I'll likely be a D. I think I'll be happy with either one.
I also bumped up my surgery date from October 9th to October 7th!! I put in my two weeks' notice to the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee :) So ready to do this!

you will look great, you have a nice frame for BA. I am super skinny and I was barely A cup, I went under muscle with 350cc, I pushed for 50cc more what my PS recommended for natural outcome and I am glad I did. I am full C cup. If I had to do it again, I would pushed even for 400cc. It was extremely hard for me to pick the right size, at the end I left it on my PS and I fully trusted her. I am very happy with my results and I have HP implants, they look natural. good luck.

Thanks Ali! It seems like we have a similar frame. The 350 looks great on you!

I know you visited my review so I wanted to hop on over and show some love! I think a large C small D is what I am and I'm very satisfied so far. Like I said in my review I still have some healing to do, but I'm loving it! I will keep an eye out for your post op review :)

Thanks MrsNewBoobies!! Just got home and feeling pretty good so far, all things considered :)
