Tuesday, March 19th 2013

Kinda late on this but I just came back from my second consultation with my surgeon. Im located in San Jose, Ca. 20 years old.

Currently -
34A
105 Pounds
5 Feet

Im really having a hard time if I should go with High Profile or Mentor Plus implant. I have a small frame and as you can see my boobies kinda sag :/ and im only 20..

I want the fullness of a sideboob and I want nice volume but Im scared the Mentor plus will only turn out to be bigger saggy boobs..

Also I have gone with 350 mentor plus implant filling to about 375-400cc's
Everything is supposed to be final already but im so nervous. Did I make the right choice? Oh god I dont even want to think about it but the surgery date is coming so soon.. March 28th. Next week!!

I've been wanting this for around a year. I kinda didnt mind my size all throughout highschool but I just want something new. Fill out my shirts better, have some side boob. I want to be more of woman I still feel like a little girl with my size and all.

Hi. Your breasts look great. I see no sagging. I see the breasts of a very young woman. You only have young women breasts for awhile, then you have kids and they change. Enjoy your young breasts they are beautiful. I know as a 20 year I couldn't imagine my life years down the road. For me having children and breastfeeding was the only amazing things about having breasts. I "needed" a breast augmentation after that. Most women on here would trade their fake breasts with all the complications, money spent, revisions, and scars for their youthful breasts any day. I would even return my fake ones for my uneven saggy ones. You always want what you don't have and trust me fake breasts are not great. Sorry for the lecture, I was just looking up why my nipples don't contract anymore and confirming that I was bottoming out, and saw your pictures. Really, I thought all the complications and revisions wouldn't happen to me. Dumb.

Thank you for your response. I read your review and it breaks my heart. I hope as time passes you will feel better and be the energetic mom you once were. I really appreciate all that you have said. I have been contemplating this for a year. I have always envied my friends whom have c cups. And when I look at myself in the mirror all I see is a chest of a girl. I have been this size since 9th grade. I thought I would develop more.. but sadly I didnt. I just dont feel happy with the way I look and now that I have saved up enough I feel like I should do this for myself.

Sounds like you are educating yourself in reading both good and bad reviews. Good for you as it's important to be well informed. After two consults with your doctor, you may already have all the info you need, but just in case, here is a list of questions to ask your doctor. Since your surgery is so close, perhaps you could call his assistant with any remaining questions. Good luck with your surgery and keep us posted. BTW, do you have someone to help you during your recovery?

I am and it is kind of discouraging.. I have already made my payment in full and there is no refund. I hope I am making the right choice. Thanks for the info! And I do not but my bestfriend will be checking up on me throughout the day.

Hello Ella, looking through your before pics and they look a lot like mine, I'm a B and they sort of sag, my Doctor recommended I get the teardrop but I was set on round! Did you get round or teardrop? :)

Just got back from walmart. Got my Front closure...

EllaSpadeMarch 22, 2013

Just got back from walmart. Got my Front closure bra's ready. All wire free The grey zipper one is the most comfortable. Wasnt too sure on what size to get so I just made sure the band fitted and there was a large cup gap.

Im nervous. 7 more days til my op. Im praying everything will turn out okay.
Im still so unsure about the profile I picked. Moderate plus or High profile???
I want a more rounded natural look with side boob but I dont want them to be too wide for my frame. fklafaldjasdasdjaois I feel defeated.

Look forward to following your journey. We are Bay Area transplants, now up in the sac area. You are 2 weeks ahead of me, mine is 4/11. What did your PS say about profile?

EllaSpade

March 22, 2013

he said that both would profiles would be fine. but he was the one that suggested hp at first. but if i wanted side boob i should go for moderate. he even said moderate/moderate plus would both be fine and not too wide. when he measured my breast cavity each one are about 14cm and the implant im getting is 12.5cm wide! excited for you!

I am struggling with my size choice too because I am 5' and chose 475cc HP silicone. Do what you feel is right for yourself. Sometimes reading too many peoples stories gets confusing and stressful because you get mixed messages from everyone that responds to your post. Good luck with your procedure next week :) hope it all goes just as you dreamed it would!!

5 days til the big day. Got a new bralette today...

EllaSpadeMarch 23, 2013

5 days til the big day. Got a new bralette today planning to show pictures in them afterwards when i am capable of doing so.

I havent gotten my prescription yet.. and I still need to buy an extra pillow.
It scares me reading the reviews that say it wasnt worth it. Also I was only able to take 4 days off of work.. What do you ladies think? My op is this thursday and I have to go back to work the following Tuesday. My job doesnt demand much I basically just scan clients badges as they attend their meeting.
Other than that I am pretty much set. Except for one more load of laundry lol
