Hello! I'm a 46 year old mother of three, 5'0 and 105lbs. I had a BA when I was 19 that took me from a B to a D (I was in pageants and hate that I got a BA so young, in retrospect). My implants were recalled but I never got the message because my doctor at the time never registered them. After complications, I had an explant and no reconstruction. Fast forward 13 years. I just got new Allergan silicone unders 325 on one side and 357 on the other. I'm thrilled to have a shape again that allows me to wear clothes and swimsuits that don't gape open. I AM one of those people who get the creepy crawled so from time to time, I get a little freaked out that I have some foreign prosthetic in my chest. Still, I hated my look after my explant - concave almost - that I considered a deformity. I really wanted to be no more than a C. Today, I was measured at 34D. I have girly hips so it's pretty proportionate. No big concerns or complaints. I've been fascinated reading everyone's stories that brought them to this decision.

Thank you!!! I admit that it was massively exciting to buy a bra that passed the gap test!

Congratulations on your new ones! I can't imagine if I got them at 19, I'm not sure what I would have been like back then getting it done?! I'm glad you are feeling good in your body with the new ones in.

Stupid choice on my part. I was way too immature and competitive back then. I think the only think that would have stopped me, though, would have been if I'd have known that implants don't last forever. Yet another reason to find a doctor who believes in adequately informing a patient, right?!

Thanks!! It's nice to not have to constantly pull a bra down because it's ridden up above my nipples! That's my favorite thing about getting boobs!
