Hi everyone! This will be my second review on this...
WORTH IT
Hi everyone! This will be my second review on this site in the last year. :) My first was for my rhinoplasty with Dr. Kassir. I actually found this site through him. His office asked if I would review him on it, and I did. Little did I know, it would become the place I came to for all of my BA research! So, thank you everyone I've been stalking since then! :)
Like my nose, I've wanted my breasts done since about the time I was 16. It was about that time I realized they were oddly shaped, and didn't quite look like all the other girls'. It's never bothered me that they're on the small side. It's always been the shape. I've never been able to fit into a regular bra. And by that I mean, I can't buy an A sized bra from Victoria's Secret, Hane's, Warner's, etc. They just don't fit because of the weird shape. I have to go to the little girl department at J.C. Penny or Target to find one that even remotely fits correctly, and even then, I don't fill the whole cup. The good thing about though, is that they are usually 2-for-$12! This has definitely saved me money over the years! But I would like just one really beautiful bra, since I've never in my life owned one! :)
I'm 37-years old, and I think I've had these boobs for long enough! When I had my nose job, my pre-op blood work came back irregular. I had severe anemia, and my PCP wanted me to go to the hospital for blood transfusion because my iron was THAT low. To make a long story short, it turned out I had colon cancer. Who knew! I had no symptoms, and had it not been for my wanting to get my nose done, it would still be growing inside of me! Lucky for me, colon cancer is a very slow growing cancer, and although I had already had it for a couple of years, I was only stage 1! I had the tumor, a foot of my colon, my appendix, a few inches of my small intestine, and 24 lymph nodes all removed. My nose job literally saved my life. Because of this, I no longer want to wait to do the things I've been holding back on doing for one reason or another. A breast augmentation is just one of these things!
Attached are pictures of what I've got now. It's not much. What you can't tell from the pictures is how they look like torpedoes. Which is how they are most of the time, unless I'm cold, or something. If that's the case then, they look somewhat normal. I hardly have any fullness at all, and never really have. I've consulted with a handful of PSs and some have wanted to lower my fold anywhere from a .5cm to 2cm, while others said I don't need them lowered. I've also been told that I have a mild form of constricted/tuberous breasts, and from another doctor, I've been told I don't. I also have mild asymmetry. Some doctors have noticed, some haven't.
Because of all of the different things I've been told, it was hard to decide who to go to. In the end, I've decided to go to Dr. Gregory Greco in Red Bank, NJ. He was very informative, and his staff has been so helpful in answering all my questions so far. Right now, I'm and A and I'm looking to be a small C. But really, I'll take whichever size implant will give me the nicest shape. Ultimately, that will be up to Dr. Greco once in the operating room. He'll bring in lots of different sizes and profiles to see what fits and looks best. At my consult, I tried on a handful of cc's ranging from 250-300. Since researching this site, everything from a 250-330cc on a woman with my stats, and similar pre-op breast tissue, is visually pleasing to my eye.
I have two and a half months left and I would like all the help I can get in regards to what everyone thinks and knows, and what they've found was helpful to them through out this whole process from pre- to post-op. All suggestions and comments welcome!!! Thank you and I hope everyone is doing well!!

Likes and hopeful results
Since I've been stalking this site, I've been collecting pictures of everything in my range. Some of these pictures are of other RealSelf user reviews. I wish I would have kept track of some of the reviewers. If you see your breasts, please be flattered and not upset! Some of these pictures are also what I'm taking to show the doctor at my pre-op.

Based on the pictures of your wish boobs I would definitely not go less than 325 if that is the max size you are willing to go.

Hi! Thank you for that!! I've been debating, and I'm so afraid of looking too top heavy. But I also know you lose some of the projection. Going under the muscle. And I love the way 300cc look on me. I've been playing with rice sizers. Yours look wonderful!!
December 6, 2016
Thanks! I will update my pictures soon but they have definitely shrunk since my last post. I also think they look bigger in pics than they do IRL. I think to look top heavy you'd have to go way bigger. I think the people that stand out with big fake boobs are going 600+. You can't even tell I got them in clothes.
December 7, 2016
And I agree :) I ended up getting more than I initially thought I wanted (340cc instead of 275cc) and sizers look way different than real life ;) go a little bigger than you think you need. I agree I think 325 would be perfect.
December 7, 2016
Lovely!! I think you can easily get your wish breasts :D and not needing a lift! Lucky you ;)
Can't wait to see your results!!!

Rice sizers and more likes
A while ago, I made rise sizers with rice and panty hose in sizes 250cc, 286cc, and 300cc. So far the 300cc are my favorite. I do feel like they're so big, though! But I think it's just because I'm so used to seeing nothing. :) Interestingly enough is that the 300cc really don't look that big at all in the photos. They look the most proportional.
I've been wearing the different sizes to work everyday and no one could tell I even had bigger boobs! That's what I want! Luckily, it's winter and I'm also able to hide a bit under sweaters and other winter shirts. A handful of women I work with know I'm getting the BA, and they're the ones I tell when I have the sizers in. They all like the 300cc, too.
There's such a slight difference between them all! I have to make 325cc sizers abs start wearing them, too.
Did anyone else wear sizers to work and/or around all the time prior to getting your BA? And did anyone notice if and when you did?
I've attached pictures of without and all the different sizes, and some more pictures of what I hope to look like in bathing suits after. :)

I did my rise test too measured out 3 cups of rise and I'm loving it! It's crazy how you can walk around with them and they look real when you have clothes on! I was nervous to go out in them at first but after I was out I got used to it. I felt the same way about 3 cups of rise, and at first I kept doubting because I felt way too big but after wearing them for a week I loved them! Are you nervous for surgery? For some reason I've been so nervous.

January 13, 2017
Hi! I'm getting more and more used to them! And no one has noticed at all which is awesome! And I'm a bit nervous but only for any complications afterwards. But no nervous enough not to get them! I'm more excited !
