Hey ladies! After discovering this website, I have learned so much about Breast Augmentation surgery, and it has helped me become more serious about it. My review is going to be extremely detailed and long just to warn you guys!

I've wanted bigger boobs for as long as I can remember, but I've been pretty content with having perky and pretty even boobs until now. With the help of my Victoria's Secret bras, they look decent when I'm wearing clothes, but I want to feel better about myself once everything comes off! I want large and full breasts that don't need any assistance from underwire, extra padding and push up!

My stats:
Height - 5'2"
Weight - 110-112lbs
BWD - 12.5" Left and 12.3" Right
Cup Size - Small to average B, but I fit into a 32C for padded bras at Victoria's Secret
Desires - D cup!
Type - Silicone, 415-485 CC's under the muscle and maybe the periaereolar incision but I'm still considering getting it through the crease. Probably high profile and smooth implants, but I'm unsure on what brand I want to go with. Sientra or Natrelle Inspira?

I've gone to 2 consultations so far. My first one was with Dr. Kirk Moore. That wasn't a very good experience for me, because they kept me waiting for over 40 minutes before I finally was seen. You have to ring the doorbell to get inside, and the receptionist will tell you which side to go to depending on what you're getting. When I went to the appropriate side, I stood there waiting for a while until someone came by and I told them I had an appointment. After filling out the paperwork I was sitting there for at least 40 minutes until I was about ready to walk out, so I asked when I would be seen and this girl in scrubs said now with no apology. Pretty unprofessional if you ask me. Finally a girl named Sherine brought me back and explained the procedure, possible risks, and the recovery. They market a "Rapid Recovery" approach where you're supposed to be ready to go back to work after a day off. Sounds kind of iffy to me, but everyone heals differently I guess. They also only use local anesthesia, so the effects are supposed to wear off quicker than general anesthesia and not leave you feeling as sick. Pain killers aren't prescribed, and you should only need Tylenol. That kind of scares me, because I'm a baby when it comes to pain.

When Dr Moore came in to see me, he was kind of standoffish, and I didn't feel that comfortable with him. He examined my breasts and pointed out a stretch mark I had and asked what happened if I had never had children before. That put me off, because how the hell should I know when that's just how my skin is and I've never really noticed it myself. I am definitely susceptible to them, and have plenty on my hips and thighs from puberty. They also run in my family so I'm sure I'll get them if I ever have children.

Since I have stretch marks and also have a small frame, Dr Moore told me he wouldn't go any larger than 385 CC's and there's no other option besides the infra mammary incision. He told me Sientra implants are the latest model with the best gummy bear cohesive silicone and warranty and pretty much sold me on the smooth round high profile. He asked me if I had any questions and quickly left. After my 5 minutes with him, I put on a special bra and I got to try on 385 CC's and I was happy with that size. Sherine told me that if I wanted that size, they'd probably put in 415's since you lose some volume when going under the muscle. Since that was the biggest they would go, and I didn't want to try on any smaller sizes, that was the extent of the fitting. She gave me a price quote of $6200 and if I paid cash, they'd take off $200. I thought that was a bit pricy compared to other surgeons in Utah who charge $5200 for silicone, but she said Sientra costs more.

My second consultation was with Dr. Jed Bindrup. So many girls have gone to him, and he has done a fantastic job on everyone I've seen that had him as their surgeon. His staff was extremely professional and welcoming, and I didn't wait at all after finishing my paperwork to be seen. Dr Bindrup himself called me back and we went to his office where he explained the procedure, risks, implant options and I immediately felt at ease and extremely comfortable with him. After he answered my questions and explained incision options, which for him are through the areolar or in the crease under the breast, we went into the exam room so I could change into the sizing bra. He measured me in a lot more ways than Dr Moore had and gave me a copy of my measurements which was nice. He had asked what size I had liked at my first consult, so he brought out some options and had me try on a different size in each cup without telling me the CC's to see what I preferred. I really liked this approach because I wasn't set on an exact number and he didn't discourage me by saying he would only go this big and whatnot. He also took the time to explain the different implant options and told me that Sientra was currently off the market until March 1st because of issues with sterility in their factories and Dr Moore was likely being incentified to sell it right now because of that. That worried me because I had no idea that was happening and they didn't tell me so at my first consult. Pretty shady.

Dr Bindrup told me he has good experiences with Natrelle Inspira because it has less rippling than the others and that will be more prominent in me since I am trying to go a lot bigger, but if I'm set on Sientra they will order it for me but there might be a back log since they come from Brazil and Natrelle is from Texas. Right now I'm leaning towards Natrelle! It turns out they all have the same warranties too.

I have a couple more consultations scheduled in the next 2 weeks, but I'm so happy with my experience with Dr Bindrup that if he can get me in on March 9th, I'm pretty sure I'm going to do it! I'll keep you guys updated!

Please don't do it, you will regret it. I have implants that I am getting removed. Check out the implant removal stories. Please seriously consider not doing it!

Why will I regret it exactly? Lol I'm open to hearing both sides of the story, but you're gonna have to give me a reason to even consider changing my mind (even though I won't).
March 16, 2016
Yeah the first PS sounded horrible! I'm sorry you had to waste your time with him. But that's part of the process I guess. Second one was much better! Good luck on the next few ones you have coming up. Excited to see what you will choose! And 6000 is being a D*ck! How rude!!! If they were that against breast augmentation why not give some good reason not a few sentences that are just negative and don't help you at all. >:|

I'm Asian, prone to stretch marks as well, I got new ones from my boobs job. I got mine done in October I got the natrelle gummies 445cc under the muscle. I was put under general anethesia for my first one. Sadly it started rotating after 3 months and I found out that this happens a lot, even tho their not supposed to because textured implants are supposed to adhere to the muscles better. Luckily for me, my surgeon is super nice and understanding so he switched me out right away! Within a few weeks in fact. This time he did an in office procedure, called awake surgery, pretty much what your first consultation said. He just had me take my pain killers an hour before to ease my anxiety, and he did multiple injections under my boobie with tiny needles, they were just numbing stuff, same ones a dentist use. I was out in less than 45 minutes, i could've actually driven myself home if i really wanted to. This time I got the 605 cc srf inspira. I love them!!! They are super soft and squishy, very natural look on me. Check out my pics! The gummies were firm and these are just like jello.

You look awesome! That's crazy that you were awake, but I'm glad you didn't feel it! I just got 485s yesterday and I feel a lot of tightness and pain. It's uncomfortable and very hard to move

Congrats on your new boobies!!!! Yeah your muscles went thru a shock so take it easy, my first surgery took me about 3 weeks to finally sleep comfortably without the feeling of an elephant sitting on my chest. I can actually lay on my boobies now and feel just fine. My second surgery had no repercussion. Its like I never had surgery at all. Weird, maybe because ive already done the hard part before. Hopefully you better soon. Ice and ice on those babies! Their your best friend, that and pain killer of course :)

March 25, 2016
Pain killers are definitely my friend! I just hope I won't need them when I go back to work. How did your family handle the news when you told them about your BA? I haven't told mine yet and I actually live with them lol. I have been at my boyfriends this whole week, but am gonna be going home today so I'm not sure how I'll be able to hide it!

I live with my family too and they were not happy with it. Asian family and all. I don't know if it's because I'm a hairdresser and my arms are always up so that part didn't hurt. But pumping from a shampoo I couldn't even do. Anything that required pushing was hard, but lifting was fine
User Avatar
April 20, 2016
I would highly recommend periareolar !!! Your PS can simultaneously do a tiny little lift with your BA :) mine didn't cost extra at all!! I have photos of my Frankenstein looking incisions lol, I am 19 days post-op. Still 2 months of solid healing to go, but they're doing great! Minimal bruising (as opposed to a "crease" inscison).
User Avatar
April 20, 2016
Lol thanks but I'm a month post op... And I'm happy with the incision I chose. I did not need a lift and my bruising wasn't bad.
April 23, 2016
How much did Dr. Bindrup? ;)

Although I have only been to two consultations, and have only seriously considered BA surgery for the past month, I've decided to have Dr. Jed Bindrup perform my surgery on March 22nd! I haven't quite decided on a size of the type of incision I want, but I'm leaning towards 450 CC's underneath the muscle through the areola. I know there are increased risks of losing sensitivity, higher chance of capsular contracture, and not being able to breast feed... But I scar very easily due to my Asian skin tone and I think the incision might blend in better around my nipples rather than underneath. It seems like this approach is way less common and it's been hard finding reviews and before and after pics on this site! Any advice? I also need pre-op tips! I bought some biotin and vitamin E supplements to help my skin, but I wonder if they'll really make a difference.

Good luck with your upcoming surgery! Confirming size is the hardest. We have pretty similar stats and I just got 415cc Inspira on Friday. They are very high and can't wait for them to drop and the pain to go away. I think you will have great results. You already have a nice shape, so the implants will just accentuate that. Good luck!
User Avatar
March 2, 2016
Thank you so much! I'm wondering if 450 CC's might make me look too top heavy and fat. I want them to be big and full, but not ridiculous on my frame ya know? Wishing you a quick and easy recovery! I'm sure they will start dropping soon. How are you feeling? I'm debating how much time I should take off of work. I have a desk job and limited PTO, so I don't want to use it all up when the year just started.
User Avatar
March 2, 2016
Ya I know what you mean. I think once mine drop snd get full in the bottom they will be quite large on me so Im hoping I can pull it off! I got the largest high profile size that my body could allow. My bwd is 12.2 and the 415cc implant is 12.5....so that was going over and the max my PS would use before he switched to ultra full profile.
I had my surgery Friday morning and yesterday was the most manageable day for me. Sunday and Monday were beyond brutal and I was stuck home caring for my kids....but in no way could I have been at a job. My shirt was literally open all day and stuffed with ice packs 24/7 to ease the pain. Everyone has diff recovery though!

I just had 425 and they are a nice size. I think a size in the 450-475 range would work well on your frame.

Scaring under the breast is so minimal and there are so many good scar treatments. I really would look into the under breast surgery unless your surgeon is more comfortable with this type of surgery. Your scars will go away in about a year. The nice thing about under breast is if you need a revision in the future they are going to go in through the same spot if not you may end up with 2 scars.

For post op purchase an actual post op bra. I got the carefix Alice on Amazon in a size large and I also like the look of the Anna. I know being small a large seems big but these are tiny. Other than that 3 soft ice packs (so you always have one) and a hand towel for stretching your arms lightly behind your back works great. I kept a lot of easy mac around too because it's so quick to make and light on your stomach. I also bought frozen pretzels so I could get bread in my stomach. Granola bars were great in the morning and vanilla yogurt so I could take my medicines. Remove anything from high shelves since you can't lift your arms.

For scar treatment I use the scar away sheets. They're reusable and washable. For creams mederma overnight works really well. My doctor sold a $50 one called bioCorneum that was a rip off.

Good luck with your surgery! Let us know what you decide or however we can help :)

My surgeon is doing armpit incision which to me is great because I really don't care about scar under my armpits... Maybe u can ask him about that... I'm 5'6 120 lbs and max I can go is 400 cc ... So I'm doing 385 hp Allergan under muscle
User Avatar
March 6, 2016
I think since I'm wanting larger implants my surgeon doesn't think the armpit incision is the best option since it's a farther distance to travel. I can't wait to see how yours turn out! I'm sure they will look awesome on you!

My stats:
Height - 5'2"
Weight - 110-112lbs
BWD - 12.5" Left and 12.3" Right
Cup Size - 32B, but I fit into padded 32C's at VS
Desires - D's but I won't be mad if they're DD's ;)
Type - Natrelle Inspira Silicone, 415 or 450 or 485 CC's under the muscle

I've become pretty obsessed with reading reviews and looking at boob pictures... it's literally been my one and only hobby this past month. I'm so eager to get it over with! My pre-op appointment is this Friday, and I'm not sure what to expect other than that's when I'll be choosing my final size and getting blood work done. Anyone know what kind of tests are done and what would disqualify someone from surgery? I don't think I have anything to worry about, but I was just curious. I'm hoping it doesn't take too long, so that I can save some PTO and go back to work after.

Also, I still am no closer to deciding on the incision I should get. When it's done well, I love that the areola incisions are pretty much invisible, and if not, you can get them tattoo'ed to match so that any uneven pigmentation will blend in better. But if it's not done well, I don't want to be stuck with raised and bumpy scars that are more in your face noticeable than a crease incision.

As far as size, I went to another consultation just for fun just to try on some sizers, and it made me more confused than ever! I tried on some moderate plus ones and I thought they looked really good. I could barely tell the difference between MP and HP. The girl that was helping me wasn't a nurse or a doctor, so she couldn't give me a good answer on which would be better for me. I made some rice sizers to see if that would help, but nylons won't help with profile size either! Still leaning towards HP 450 CC just based on other before and after pics I've seen. I love the full and perky look, but I don't want to look like Dolly Parton.

Wow! You're so prepared, LOL! You've definitely done your research and you sound more than ready! 450's will look awesome on you!
Just don't forget, the results aren't instantaneous, but each month they're going to look more and more fabulous as your muscles relax & the implants settle into the pockets. I can't wait to see your result in a couple of weeks... Yay!!!

I have 415cc and I thought they were going to be HUGE! The number really scared me. But now being 12 days post op, they don't seem overly large. They still have to drop A LOT and I think the small appearance in size, is because most of the implant is still up high and squared close to my collarbone. I too was very torn btw MP and HP....and some days I still feel I would have liked the look of the MP instead, but I really have to wait until I'm healed up and see my final outcome. Have you see emmak1 review. She has 415cc. And cheekyvibes has 475cc. Both girls look GREAT! So it kind of shows you the difference in sizes you are choosing from.

Same here! Getting Inspira textured high profile under muscle. I'm 5'2 120lb. I'm in between the 400-440 wish there was a in between something in the middle. They both feel good wearing rice sizers all day and look so close to the same and we will loose some size going under the muscle. I have mine scheduled for March 15th. Wish you well in your surgery. 450 will look great on you!

Good luck on your surgery! I say go bigger, but I personally like big boobs haha. What made you decide on textured implants?
User Avatar
March 11, 2016
My ps is the one who decided on the textured due to my active lifestyle in the gym. The textured surface provides a greater likelihood of the implants remaining in position over years of high impact exercise. Yes I love bigger too!
March 9, 2016
Honestly I think you will love the 450cc HP!! They really give you some nice cleavage ! I'm 3 days post and they don't feel that heavy or hard. Starting to feel a little normal. I'm 5'3 and 450cc took me to a nice D cup. I love my size! Also the areola Incision is great! I didn't lose feeling in my nipples and the scar will be easy to hide even if it doesn't turn out the best. I'll let you know how mine looks in the next week :)

March 11, 2016
Thanks, I hope so! Hope you're feeling better today :) keep me posted on your scars! I'm definitely leaning towards the areola incision.
