Hellooo! I am always on this website reading stories and I finally decided to make an account of my own. Girls on here seem so supportive and honest, so whoever chooses to read this please help!!

Just a little but about myself. I am almost 20 years old, 5'6", 125lbs. Growing up I was always very thin (I was always called a stick) but as I've grown and matured, also with the help of birth control, I have gained weight. I feel I have filled out more in my legs and hips and tummy, but of course I can probably still fit in the first bra I ever wore! In high school I would always talk about getting breast implants like it was not big deal and like it was obviously going to happen. Now that I can afford it it is all so much more real. I am current wearing a 32B from Victoria's Secret, which means I'm an A cup, and my goal is a full C cup:) Most of my bras are push up. If you catch me in a lightly padded bra, you best bet I'm at home. Haha. Basically I feel like a pear or bottom heavy.
I went to my first consultation in January and another appt with a different doctor in February. Although I'm sure they both would do an amazing job I just had a really good vibe from my second doc. His name is dr. Cohen! His amazing review on google and his awesome website really helped win me over as well. My mom came with me to my consult and we both felt the same about him. He recommends mostly silicone implants (cohesive gel).
I have asymmetry so he recommended thru the top half of my areola so he can adjust my right nip to be a little higher.

Yesterday was my pre-op appointment:) so exciting!!! My dad wanted to come with to meet the doctor. So we met with dr Cohen and finalized everything and got last minute questions answered. I also got a cute bag with vitamins to help with swelling and bruising, an ice pack thing that is really long (instead of having to use peas) :) and stuff like that! I got to try on sizes to!! Wish I could've taken them home with me :)
So, the dr recommended starting with 350ccs to reach my full C cup goal. So I started with 350cc on my right(smaller) side and 325 on the left(bigger) side. I loved it!!! I also tried 400ccs to get a feel of what I like and I just DON'T KNOW! I don't want them to be toooooo big and over powering but I don't want to regret not going big enough:( ugh decisions decisions...
Now what really thru me off was when the doc came in when I was trying on sizers and wanted to measure me again. After taking my breast measurements he changed his mind about the incision and now thinks that thru the crease would be better since my nipples are even it's just my under boob that is smaller on the right. He also said that I have dense breast tissue I guess?? Haha so going thru the nip he would have to cut thru possibly more milk ducts and tissue the get to the muscle! Oh and I'm getting under the muscle! So I'm so confused! I want to breast feed when I have kids so I'm nervous about going thru the nip, but I don't want a nasty scar under my boob as a constant reminder that they are not real. So idk.. Please help! Is under the breast better or the nipple better??

Yes I just looked at your profile and I love how yours look:) I hope I look similar! Did your doc use the Keller funnel? Your incisions look so good!!! And does mondors cord go away?:/

Im also going through the crease and my doctor told me that the incision itself is only an inch and s half in length so you can figure that the scar is going to be much smaller than that. My doctor is also using the Keller funnel, a new technique that greatly minimizes infection and scarring. Ask your doctor about it :) I didn't want to go through the nipple because one I'm married and I want THAT sensation and two because of the scarring. With pictures you can definitely tell a nipple incision but through the armpit or under the breast you can't tell. The only way to have NO scaring on your breast is to go through the umbilical insertion or your belly button. Hope this helps!

It does help thank you:) yeah I don't want to lose that sensation either and I also what to be able to breast feed when I have kids so I think the crease is the best option for me! I just feel like the armpit would be a horrible healing process! And my dr told me that there more of a chance of nerve damage or losing breast sensation going through the pit. The belly button definitely seems too far from the breast, like it would be hard to use sizers and stuff! :)

So I have officially decided I'm going through the crease:) I've really thought about size and I'm gonna stick with 350-375/385 cc's. I think that that will be big enough for me with out being too big for my body! I don't want them to look fake, that's just not the look I'm going for.
I'm trying to get everything I need! I feel like I'm going to forget something tho:( I have an ice pack, my prescriptions, stool softener:/, pillows, lotion, water bottles and straws, and vitamins for bruising and swelling. I still need to get some comfy sports bras and easy and healthy meals to make. What else!? People talk about arnica? Or something like that. What is it? Do I need it?
I'm getting so nervous but excited!!! It's all I can think about! I went to the Bon Jovi concert last night and I wore 3 bras under my cute dress ;) and two friends texted me after seeing my pictures on Instagram saying how big and good my boobs look! I can't wait until I don't have to wear two or three bras to feel comfortable! It's almost here!!! Can't wait I just want it to over and down with!!! :)

My surgery is in like 2 days and nervous I'm not gonna be as big as I'm expecting! :( I don't want to be too big but for 7 grand I don't wanna have regrets!! What should I do? I want to be a full C cup but I also want them to balance out my body! I feel like I have wide hips and love handles and I'm sooo narrow on top!
Do you ladies think that 350 or 375 will be big enough and look natural for my body?! Please help!!!

I feel the same way as you- I am so nervous about the size i chose! Im a 32b from victorias secret (really an a cup ). I am going with salines 350 filled to 375 high profile because the 400's just seemed too big. I also am getting my surgery may 1st. I think you will be happy with the size you chose! Good luck! :)

I'm so excited for you! We have similar stats too which is what I've been looking for. I'll be 20 in may and my surgery is July 1st-_- such a long time lol but I'm having a hard time deciding on the size too(32b as well). Not sure if I want to go with 350ccs or 400. And I'm still waiting for my story to be published. Idk why it's taking so long

My story took awhile to publish too:/ but yay I hope I can help! I'm sorry your surgery is so far from now.. I called my dr today and my check in time is 7:30 for surgery at 9. I guess when I go in ill be able to try on sizes again and talk to the doctor about my goals! I guess right now he has down 325/350 for me but I'm thinking more like 350/375.

Yea I'm leaning more towards the 375 just because I have heard so much that you lose 50ccs going under the muscle. But yea keep us posted!!:)))
