I am so excited for my BA! Something I've been talking about doing since I realized I wasn't as blessed as all of the other girls. I never thought I'd actually do it until now. I scheduled my surgery for September 9 after doing extensive research for weeks. I had a ton of consultations and met with lots of doctors (always a good idea to shop around!) I finally settled on one and I'm so excited. He had phenomenal reviews online and then when I met him I just knew I wanted him to do my surgery. Even though I did a ton of research, I am no expert on what would look good on my body and what is proportional. I originally wanted 450cc silicone implants but my PS told me the biggest he could go on me was 425cc for silicone and didn't advise we go any bigger. I appreciate his guidance as I honestly don't know enough!

My pre op appt is August 24th. Does anyone know if that's when we finalize the size? Definitely pick a PS who does sizing appointments at the consultation. The first PS I met with said doing that is pointless. Honestly it was so fun. Not only did you get to see what you're going to look like but you also get to feel the weight of your new boobs. I know it's probably not 100% but I'm sure it's close.

My PS gave me a range of 385cc to 425cc silicone, smooth, moderate plus profile. My only concern with mod plus is I definitely want cleavage but I also want a more natural look. Will I get a good amount of cleavage with mod plus?

I'll update more later!

First off congratulations!!! It is very exciting, sizing is usually finalized at pre op but always ask if they will have other sizes on hand just in case the size you are going for won't fit. That was one of the questions I asked because until they are in there no one knows what that pocket can actually handle. Luckily for me my 500ccs just fit so I was pleased. As for cleavage it looks like you should end up with some decent cleavage when looking at the enhanced picture, and everyone's body is different so I got moderate plus and without a push up bra I have a fair amount of space between my boobs. Plus you can always buy nice push up bras if it isn't enough. But that would be a question to ask your ps, moderate plus compare vs. high profile for your body type. Good luck and keep us updated on your ladies!

Thank you so much for sharing! At my consultation, my PS told me they have an entire inventory on hand for when they are in surgery. They have their own OR right there in the office with every size! I have pretty broad shoulders and I know the mod plus is a bit wider so I feel like that definitely suits my body better. I'm probably just over thinking Bc I'm so excited!!

So exciting! Congrats on booking your BA - I am booked in for October 14th so I will be joining you on the other side soon after! How did you get the simulation photo?? It looks amazing I would love to try it on myself.. Also I was hoping to go with 485cc I just loved the feel and look of the sizers on my body but my ps told me he wouldn't go higher than 415cc on me because of the amount of natural breast tissue I have to start.. I am going for a natural but full look similar to you :)
August 20, 2015
Congrats to you as well!!! I'll keep you updated on my journey :). I have the same issue with my natural breast tissue as well. As for the simulation photo my PS did it for me right there in the office. He took a normal pic of me and sent it in to New Look Now and they sent it right back half hour later. I got to pick one size I wanted to see so I went for 425cc. I believe you can do one yourself if you just go on their website. Just google it! :) keep me updated on your journey please and good luck!

Congrats on your future BA! My stats are a little shorter, 5'4 - 113llbs. and my PS recommended roughly the same range. Keep us posted on pre-op stuff. My BA date is the day after yours, so exciting!
August 26, 2015
Congrats to you as well!! I honestly think that range is perfect. Not
Too small and not super huge either. I'll be sure to post pics that night so you can see. Good luck to you sweetie! :)

Hi, I'm on the search for a surgeon here in San Diego can you share with us who you choose? Thank you
August 31, 2015
Hi! After seeing a bunch of them, I decided on Dr. Smoot at the La Jolla Cosmetic Surgery Center. He has amazing reviews on here so definitely check it out. He made me feel super comfortable and excited. Good luck to you!

HI :) your boobs look amazing you must be so pleased!

Just wanted to ask, and it's probably posted on here already - did you have under or over the muscle? Xx
September 13, 2015
Thank you so much!! I got under the muscle, smooth Silicone Sientra implants. 405cc in left and 375cc in right with an inframmery incision :)
September 13, 2015
Thank you for your help :) it's good to know the stats.

They really do look so good! Looking forward to seeing more posts from you as time goes on :D

Tomorrow is the day!!

It's finally here! Tomorrow is the day I'm getting my BA. I'm so incredibly excited and nervous all at the same time. I took a million pictures of myself to update you all afterwards. The only part I'm worried about is my surgery isn't until 4PM tomorrow and I can't really eat or drink anything all day starting tonight at midnight. I'm going to be a very cranky girl! I'll see you all on the other side! :)

Day of treatment

I have boobs!!!!

Missjennylee
They are finally here!!! Surgery went super easy, was out in about an hour. I ended up with a Moderate High Profile (which i didn't even know existed) It's a happy medium between Mod Plus and High Profile. Seintra Implant, 405cc in the left and 375cc in the right! I'm in a good amount of pain right now. Just had the surgery 4 hours ago. My boyfriend is pampering me like crazy. Thank goodness for him!! Just took a sneak peak at my boobs and they are definitely looking like torpedo boobs! haha. Enjoy the pics.
