A-flat to B-eauti-full! (300cc HP Mentor MemoryGel) - Little Rock, AR

I've never properly fit into a bra. If a 33AA existed, that'd be my size. I have a very boyish figure and this lack of curve makes me look and feel like a little girl. I just want to look like a woman and feel more confident about my appearance. I hate the idea of surgically enhancing my body for aesthetic reasons, but I finally realized it's my body, I'm the one who has to deal with it (well, and my man). I think for most of us on here, there are more reasons than just for appearances. So, here it goes... I'm 2 weeks pre-op, excited, anxious, ready?

After many emails and phone consults (wasn't comfortable with the local surgeons), I decided to go with a friend's recommendation for a PS in Little Rock. I met him October 3rd and am happy with my decision. I am hoping for at least a full B, but wouldn't be offended if I spilled into a C a little bit. He told me he thought around 300-350cc would be good on me and give me what I want. When I tried on the 300cc's they seemed bit much for me, but the 275cc's were about right. I'm hoping he'll put in 300's, but I don't think I would be happy with 350's. Most people say 25cc's isn't a big difference, but on my 5'3 115lb slender frame, it seems like a lot. I'm going to trust him though to go with what looks best on me. After the consult, my boyfriend feels more confident with my decision and surgeon. He loves my small but symmetrical boobs and has been totally happy with them for 5 years, so he has been worried that I will end up with something I (we) don't like.

Maybe this is silly, but my biggest concern with sizing is that I don't want it to be too noticeable. I've been stuffing my bra the last couple months so that it's not such a drastic change in my appearance. I don't really mind if my friends know, but I have a very judgmental religious family that won't approve. My boyfriend is very supportive and says not to care what they think, but I'm just so close with my family... it's a tough spot. I'm sure other ladies out there have had similar concerns. How did you handle it?

At the consult I decided on the silicone Mentor MemoryGel implants. I just loved the feel of them, so soft. I originally thought I wanted moderate or mod plus profiles, but my PS recommended high profile because of my small build. He said the moderates would give me too much width, so I would have armpit boob or worse uniboob (he didn't say that but that's where my brain went) so I wouldn't be able to achieve the size I'm looking for. Anyone with a 32/34 A/AA that ended up with a full B want to share your implant cc volume? After looking around on here I'm finding beautiful results that are smaller than what I was originally looking at, so I'm really worried about my size. Maybe this is an odd question, but what bra size or volume do you need to achieve a little cleavage? Haha never had that before and looking forward to it!

In exactly one week I will be sitting in a hotel room post-op with big ole bandaged boobs!

My man and I went on a great roadtrip this weekend to see a couple concerts. Other than changing clothes and adjusting my bra padding constantly, I hardly thought about my upcoming surgery. Now, we're on our way back and it hits me... in 36 hours I will be checking in for my surgery. All of those YouTube videos of the surgeon violently digging around to make an implant pocket and popping sizers in and out are coming back to me in flashes. Everytime I imagine a nurse coming at me with an IV my heart starts racing. I have never had surgery before, so I'm getting myself a little freaked out. I feel very confident about my surgeon and his staff, especially after he told me his very low re-op rates. I guess this is sort of like "cold-feet". Freaking out, just a bit.

Side note: thank you to the fellow boob-ers for your suggestions in size! I'm feeling much more confident in my decision to tell my surgeon 300cc is my max! Plus, I stole some of your before and afters to show him. Anytime I look at 350's I just think that's too much boob for me to handle! I guess people do it all the time, but isn't it harder to go jogging or exercise in general with a full C or D? That makes my mind wander a bit into, when will I be able to do yoga and jog again? Also, I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who wants to conceal the new boobies a little. No one has seemed to notice my breasts "growing" with the padding I've added, so I should be in the clear with my family!

I think I calmed my nerves a bit thinking about lingerie and clothes shopping afterward. My college sports team is the Arkansas Razorbacks. My boyfriend picked out an adorable Razorback t-shirt for me that I wouldn't even consider wearing as a flatty. T-shirts make me look like a boy. No good.
