I have been dreaming of having breast augmentation...
WORTH IT$7,200
I have been dreaming of having breast augmentation since I was in high school, when I realized that I would no longer develop larger than an A-cup. The biggest I ever was, was a small B-cup and that was because I packed on the dreaded "Freshman 15" in college. I lost all that weight and more and, of course, my breast fat was the first to go. Ever since then, I have been athletic (running, weight lifting, cycling, etc.). Through diet and exercise, I have been able to have somewhat control of how my body looks, except for my breasts. Believe me, if there was an exercise to make my breasts larger, I would be all over it!
I come from a strict family, with a loving mother who would never approve of me getting plastic surgery. Before I couldn't bear to think what others, especially my family, would think if I got breast implants. I thought I could live with small breasts and use push-up bras and avoid low-cut tops. But now, as an adult, I'm beginning to not care what others think. They don't know how it feels to be me. Until now, when I look in the mirror, I'm still as embarrassed to look at myself as I was in high school. I hate the way I can't fill into cute dresses, lingerie bras, tops, or swimsuits. Most of the time, padded bras look so obvious: the illusion of large breasts with no cleavage. It totally kills my self-esteem. I know that no one is judging me for having small breasts, but I hate how I'm not confident in my own skin.
Luckily, I have a fiancee who doesn't care about the size of my boobs and makes me feel beautiful regardless of my own insecurities. He is very supportive and tells me that I don't need plastic surgery.I am doing this totally for one person, myself. As far as my family is concerned. I decided that I'm not going to tell them because of the negativity that I don't need. I'm only telling a handful of people. People I know who will be supportive.
I've always known that I would eventually get BA. The only questions was when? Now that I'm older, have a stable income, and since I'm getting married next year, I have decided that now would be a good time. With the help of Real Self I have learned a lot about BA, options, and physicians. It would be amazing to look gorgeous and feel confident in a sweetheart-cut wedding dress with tasteful cleavage!
So far I have three consultations scheduled and hopefully, I'll be able to confidently choose an experienced plastic surgeon and have a date scheduled in the next few months!
Thanks for reading and cheers to breasts that make you feel 100% YOU!

WISH BOOBS
Here are some pictures of what I would love to have. I definitely don't want anything too big for my frame. I'm hoping for a full C-cup. Maybe small Ds, but I shall refer to my surgeon for their opinion. From my research of girls with a similar physique as me, it looks like 300-400cc would put me in the C-D cup. Is that right?
As far as the types, I'm looking at silicone (not sure what type of profile yet), with an inframammary incision. Although, I'm kind of interested in the transaxillary incision. I'm just not sure how well of a scar that would leave and if it would be more difficult to recover from in regards to going to back to exercising and lifting weights. Does anyone have any experience with transaxillary incisions?
Otherwise, I'll leave it up to my future surgeon to help me decide!

depending on your frame 100-200ccs will add a cup size. im very small with a small frame and 200cc gave me about two cup sizes larger. the amount of ccs is different for everyone so try not to worry too much on that. i was wanting the transaxillary incision first but when my ps told me that when down the raod i re do my BA you cant go thru the armpit twice i decided i didnt need two sets of scars.

Thank you for your comment! I know we all get caught up with CCs! It's so hard because I can't help but compare myself to other girls on here and everyone is getting more than 325s!

I know I still do that as well, and still wanting larger inplants put in. Unfortunately I do not have the money for it. Just let you doctor know what size you'd like to be. He should try three different size implants in during surgery then pick whichever is feels is what you want and won't ca use complications that's how u ended up with my 200s.

I too am hoping for a large C / small D. So hard to tell what's too big when looking at a naked flat image on the computer screen. I think when we get to do the pre op appointment and try on the sizers and talk to the surgeon that will be the most helpful for deciding on size. Can't wait!! Good luck on your journey!

ugghh..not really. It's so hard to compare because some women on here will have 400cc and look huge and others will look smaller with the same amount...even with a relatively equal amount of breast tissue. I tried 400cc rice sizers at home and felt awkward in them. Hubby thought they looked too big on me. I then tried 300cc rice sizers and liked those a lot better. I just don't know how many cc's will get me to a large C small D. I know your not supposed to focus on bra size but my whole life has been like that with shopping. Nothing ever fitting and having a really hard time finding anything. I really don't want to go the opposite way and go over a D. I know that I will have the exact same problem but on the other end of the spectrum. I'm so far from my surgery but still so stressed out about that part. I'm also not looking to have boobs that make everyone turn their head and stare..not comfortable with that much attention. Anyways your right, a very difficult decision! I have a feeling its going to be between 325 and 375..thats just my gut feeling.

I'm glad you are doing it for you And not focusing on the opinions of others. Really they will have to accept it so who cares? It's a very common procedure. My mother and sister didn't openly disapprove but I could sense that it wasn't something they really agreed with. However now that it's done they are ultra curious about the whole thing haha. I think really most people still associate BA with over the top Pam Anderson type results and worry that you will become a mockery.. I did 275 cc under muscle anatomic gummy implants and if I hadn't told anyone they probably never would have noticed. It's very easy to disguise in clothes. I recommend finding a highly skilled surgeon who has results that you like. I'm not sure what type of aesthetic you'd like but I really didn't do tons of research and followed my surgeon's recommendations. I do know that a lot of surgeons won't do Trans axillary incisions unless breast tissue is so minimal that the incision won't be hidden in crease. I know it has a higher risk of infection and takes longer to heal and you are more limited as far as motion/exercise. I also know it's hugely popular with Asian women. Hope that helps

Hi! I had a consultation last week and the PS said the most he would put in me are 250s =\. I want to be a full C and I feel that won't be enough.
What is your height and weight? Also, do you feel like the gummy anatomical implants are stiff and don't really move naturally? I am interested in them but the way the PS described them made it sound like they were pretty stiff.
After discussing incision options, I think I shall go with under the breast.
