WORTH IT$6,020

So I'm 23 years old, 5'9" and 120 lbs with a 34A (I trick myself by wearing a B but I'm sure I'm an A). Anyways, I'm finally financially stable enough to go ahead with my BA that I've wanted for years. Because I'm so small to begin with, I chose silicone implants because there is less of a risk of rippling. The doctor I chose is very skilled and specializes in the transaxillary incision, however after reading reviews from people who went this route I'm a little nervous my boobs will be high and far apart so I'm still considering the crease! So my surgery is in two weeks, and I couldn't be more excited/nervous!! I will post some before pictures soon, and keep you updated on everything.

If anyone has any advice on incisions, please help!!

Good luck! I'm sure it will go fine! Mine was the best thing I've ever done for myself. Best wishes to you!

I'm 5'9 as well and I got 300L 350R and mine don't look anywhere near as full as yours :-( My surgeon recommended 375 because I'm tall but I was afraid they would look fake. Yours are incredible. I would have thought you were born with them had I not known. Congrats.

Thank you!! But I'll be honest, I constantly wish I went a little bigger..but like you I was afraid they would look fake. My plastic surgeon did tell me that I could go bigger and be fine because I'm tall, but I didn't listen! And now I'm kicking myself :)

If you don't mind, what are your measurements? Height and also bust-waist-hip ratio? I'm 5'10 and having a hard time deciding on size and projection, based on a similar ratio. You look great! Thank you for your posts, it helps those of us trying to decide.

Still stuck about incision :(

I'm really having a hard time deciding what incision is best for me :( when I talked to my doc about my concerns he gave me some pros and cons and said transax would work fine for me. I don't know what to do!

I am choosing axillary. I know of some girl on youtube who got saline implants in the axillary region and they look great. I think her username is "heyitsmebritt".

I had concerns about the incision as well, but if your PS specializes in it, it shouldn't be any different from any other incision. I researched this quite a bit, and it seems like the surgeons who oppose that incision or have poor results are ones who are less comfortable with it. I know that the PS I am going with does probably 97% transaxillary and all the results I've seen look awesome.

I agree with @ThatTXgirl. Seems like your PS would suggest what he does best. Your surgery is getting closer. Here are some items you may want to purchase and set up for your recovery. Good luck and keep us posted!
