I'm 34 years old, 115 lbs, size 32A, have 2 little girls and an amazing husband.
For the last 21 years, it's been hard to still have a 13-year-old pre-pubescent body. I'm so excited to finally have a surgery date scheduled for May 22nd to change all of this. When I nursed my two baby girls, I grew to 34C and it was life-changing to feel like a total woman for the first time! I couldn't believe the shift in my confidence and sense of "wholeness" for lack of a better word. I've always been confident in who I am and my beauty as a person, but feeling proportionate for the first time was something I didn't want to ever go away. After my breasts deflated, I begged my hubby to let me get a breast augmentation, despite my normal inclination to be "natural" and/or "organic" in many of my life choices. He reluctantly agreed but is extremely supportive of me personally, so I'm excited to be moving forward and have a date set!
Surfing is my #1 hobby/sport and I'm curious if any of you other ladies are highly active surfers who can relate to the issue of keeping boob size moderate...? Did any of you surfer girls get textured implants to try to keep them in place? Moderate profile or high profile?
Right now, I'm leaning toward 286cc moderate plus profile, or 300cc high profile. I want the more natural look of moderate plus, but I like the minimal "side-boob" of high profile.

Sounds like you know exactly what you want!! Awesome!! I don't surf but I do yoga and run and I got 225cc HP over the muscle. Super easy recovery back into my sports immediately and they do not interfere at all. Good luck!!

Thank you! I was told I should go under the muscle because I have so little breast tissue, and the implant is more likely to be noticeable...Were you cautioned about that? It look like you had more breast tissue to start though than me. I'm surprised you're a D with fairly modest sized impants! I wonder if I'll be more than a D with 286cc or 300cc implants!?....How long was your recovery? How soon back into lifting your kids? Thanks!

A friend of mine got 290. And that gave her a 34d. I don't know what size she was pre op but she was small they look great though.

Here's some pics of me know and some wish pics...It's a bit hard for me to accept that my nipple placement and nipple size (breast anatomy) will limit my outcome. I like people's results who have tiny nipples, of which I do not have...oh well.

Size seems good for you, but the May not be as close together as your wish pic since your already far a part. Also the mod profile will give you more side boob cause it's wide and flat whereas high profile is tall and narrow. It will stick out far from your chest but not to the side.

Surgery Date Approaching, starting to get scared!

BoobieTIME
So I've been excited about getting boobies for a long time, but as the date is approaching, I find myself getting scared as I bump the occasional review that's against implants. It just really sucks being flat and having to turn to implants to solve that. I really don't want something artificial in my body but I also don't want to feel embarrassed of my tiny boobies any longer, or feel unfeminine any longer :(...I could either be really happy with implants or bummed on having foreign objects in my body :(. Ugh! Anyone wanna encourage me that it's all worth it? I really wanna hear that and believe that--just hard when you read about women explanting :-/

On another note, I'm seriously considering textured round implants...anyone have a strong opinion for them or against them? What do you guys think? 268cc, 286cc, or 304cc moderate profile silicone implants. I want a natural, proportionate look...

Hi! I think you are going to look great! You already have a fab body and this is just going to put you over the top. I totally agree you should keep them relatively small but I am biased because that is the look I like. I think it looks best when it is conceivable you could naturally have the breast size and shape. So that is also why I think you should go w moderate plus and not high profile. The high profile ones tend to scream "implant" ;) Again though, you are going to look gorgeous! And w under the muscle, the implant is compressed and even high profile can achieve a relatively natural look. I am going w round textured too. The texture should reduce capsular contracture and keep them in place a bit better since (like you) I am so active. I chose Sientra because there is a 2 year warranty on capsular contracture (the others only cover rupture). Also, they are reported to show less rippling w the textured style than do other brands. Looking forward to seeing your results!

Hi! I agree--I think the more incognito and unsuspecting your BA, the better :) But at the same time, we want to finally have some boobs, and pretty ones at that--so it's a fine line. Everyone who knows I had barely anything in my bikini top at the beach will be shocked to see anything larger. If you live in a beachy culture, I find that getting a BA is pretty much going to be public knowledge to everyone around you :-/ I thinks it's so rare for super thin girls to miraculously have boobs anyway--so every time I "C" boobs on a size "0" girl, I assume they've had a BA! Funny how you truly can detect them a lot better after you've analyzed all the ones you get to see on this site :) I'm glad to also have a fellow person wanting textured implants! I'm still slightly on the fence about it cuz I know they don't drop and fluff like smooth ones do. I'm still slightly worried that they'll be placed just perfectly the way I want them, not too high, not too low. Hard to hand over trust to a PS when it comes to the artistry of your chest :-)

I completely know how you feel about the textured not dropping so having to place so much faith in the PS. But one other advantage to the textured is that you don't massage the breasts to prevent capsular contracture. I like the idea that I am not responsible for this uncomfortable sounding task. Heaven forbid anything does go wrong, I won't wonder if I am somehow at fault for not massaging properly.

I was in the same boat. I am 3 weeks post op and LOVE THEM! I got 325 mentor silicone high profile under the muscle. He took three sizes into the operation for a perfect fit (300 325 & 350 cc) since I was so small I didn't need a lift and he didn't have to place them high up. He said thay since I had no fat I should massage them everyday starting 2 weeks post op to keep the scar tissue inside soft. I have been doing this and already they feel so natural. I am so happy to look like a woman and live the way my muscles are over the implants to create a more natural look. Good luck you will love them I am sure! I have waited since 13 also... I get to spend my 40's with boobies YEAH!!
May 6, 2014
Congrats on getting them done and crossing into BOOBIELAND! Your results look great!!!--I'm surprised they're high profile implants--they seems to have the nice natural drop of the moderate plus styles. Did your PS recommend high profile or did you want that specifically? I'm still considering high profile implants, despite everyone saying moderate plus looks most natural.
May 7, 2014
He said that since I am fit the muscle will naturally form the implants. I did not request anything, I just said I have spent over 2 decades sacrificing my body for the future of our world and would love a couple of decades to enjoy a great body for all my efforts :-)! (With a pleading tone, hands folded, knelling before Dr. Boobie god ha ha).

I will post a side profile of my breasts before the BA... talk about nothing but skin, I thought for sure I would have two round disks for boobs lol

I am going to do another update tonight but i just read your update and you talk about textured implants. First - I think the sizing you're thinking of is perfect! They won't be as big as your "wish boobs", but thats okay! Your frame is small and youre active, so that size would be a burden, in my opinion. Take that photo for shape reference, and stick with the size youre thinking. Any of the three sizes will be great, and will be minimally different. I wanted anywhere from 250-275, and day of picked 250. Very happy I did! I love the size, and dont feel like they will be "in the way". Now textured implants - i was thinking about these for the same reason of wanting them to stay in place, however, once i looked a little more, i realized that the risk of the implant pulling away when you flex or lean a certain way. Its not exactly rippling, but since the texture adheres to your tissue, it can pull in weird ways. The smooth round implants dont move much, but when they do, its okay because they are symmetrical. As long as your doc makes precise pockets, it should stay in place. My doc was happy to use textured, and has no reason not to, and i think the effect i found when researching may be rare, too. Just wanted to put that out there though since you asked. I went with moderate plus profile because i have a wider frame, and wanted the more natural look. I still have a bit of swelling, but i will definitely have a bit side boob, i think, when all is said and done. I dont mind that, and can use a sturdy bra for massive cleavage when i want it : ) You are going to look amazing! On and off the beach. Oh, yeah! When i woke up from surgery, i looked down and saw my boobs as they were when i nursed, and it was so comforting. Made me so happy i went through with everything! You will feel the same way! Congrats!

whoa - wrote a novel! sorry!
May 7, 2014
Thanks, RedCole! I like novels :) I should have put your last pic in your review as one of my wish pics! I will on the next update, because yours look sooo great! But I realized, you had way more breast tissue than me to start. I have a little more than a nipple...that's it :( So all the more, I think I need 275cc or 286cc at the very least. It's funny that you heard that about textured implants, because I was told that smooth implants get pulled outward by the muscle..? I posted a question on the doc forum about it and many thought I should go with textured ones for the same reason that you chose not to get them. I think either way, we're gonna be fine no matter which one we choose--at least I hope so :) On another note, seeing all these toned stomachs like yours are making me feel like I gotta get some bricks asap!
