I have been wanting a BA since i was 18 years old....

I have been wanting a BA since i was 18 years old. I come from a family of heavy chested women. My aunt is a 56 JJ! As I was developing it was "they will grow in," "just wait till your 20's." Now its "just wait till you have kids." Finally it's time to take matters into my own hands. I know I am just starting out actively interviewing Drs. RealSelf has been a lifesaver. I have a short list of 3 Drs with 2 more if I am still on the fence. A lot of pre work has gone into this search as well as me upping the ante in the gym to prepare for the surgery. Based on the experiences I have read, I have decided not to go into any appointment with a size in mind. Even with all the research, I am not a doctor. Besides I have a really wide chest and broad shoulders so what I think is huge may not look the same on me. I do have images in mind though and a bunch of pictures. And plan on wearing and bringing clothing that I typically wear because I know how I want my breast to look. Currently I am a 36-b/c depending on who makes the bra, 5'9" and 177lbs. Overall measurements 36-31-43. I am trying to achieve an exaggerated hourglass think Marilyn Monroe in "Niagara" or "How to Marry a Millionaire."
Well the journey is just beginning. I know that due to my career, I must have the surgery completed in June before the back half of the year ramps up. I will keep you guys posted.

Thank you so much. Its been fairly arduous and there is a lot of trust you have to put in a perfect stranger. If this helps anyone it would be worthwhile.

I have similar stats to you and i totally relate to the feeling of wanting to fit your shoulders!! My mom and grandma both have huge boobs but mine are just meh lol and i have really broad shoulders so i've always felt disproportionate...

I can't make the decision for you but even this early in the recovery stage at a week post op, I feel shapely and feminine. I will say be honest in what you want. I want to be full and play up my broad shoulder to give me an exaggerated hourglass look. I love my shoulders now with the new addition. I will keep posting picks. my body just "fits'" now. it hard to explain but I think over time my pictures will describe what I am failing to articulate.

No i think i understand what you mean! I feel like i will finally feel more shapely and feminine like your'e saying, that's basically what i want too, just to feel like my curves all balance out haha instead of being disproportionate. i wish you the best in your recovery and can't wait to see more of your pictures :)

Thanks. I am due to put more pics up but the site wouldn't let me upload. I will work on it.
UPDATED FROM Zdavis4
28 days pre

Research over...

So its been awhile since I have updated. Since my last post, I have visited all three of my top picks. I went back to Dr Mills for a second time just to talk with him again and allow my BF to meet him. After talking with Dr Mills. I booked my apt for Jun 17th its a tentative date due to I had to take some unforeseen trips and I have to clear the additional time with my boss. Oh my goodness its really happening. I tried on sizers again. I didn't ask for the cc's. I am not interested in the cc's just yet. I don't want to get fixated on a number. I want to see how my clothing reacts to the sizers. I wore one of my pinup dresses and I liked what I saw. I think I will get a handle on the cc's closer to the pre op date. One thing in addition to my BA, I added lipo to my abs and flanks! The goal is an "exaggerated hourglass." Dr Mills think that my goals are very achievable. I will post pics soon.

22 days pre

Changed the date

So due to work and needing to go out of town later in the month. I've changed the date to June 10th. I am not ready as in I still don't know what size. My preop is May 29th and they booked me for 2 hrs so I can really dig down and figure out the best size for me.
