25 Year Old 32B Petite Asian BA 325/350cc Mentor Silicone - Shreveport, LA
ORIGINAL POST
I am a 25 year old petite and thin Asian female. ...
$5,805
I am a 25 year old petite and thin Asian female. I am 5'4" and weighed 95 pounds at my consult on Tuesday. I have always been happy with everything on my body except my breasts; I can work out to make my butt look better but there is nothing I can do about my breast size so I have always felt a bit inadequate in that area.
I told the PS that I am not looking to get huge breasts, just a "bigger" natural. I did not want to spend 5k and get breasts that were not much bigger but I also did not want breasts that screamed that they were fake.
Based on my measurements and thin profile, my PS suggested 325 and 350cc Mentor silicone under the muscle through a crease incision. We did the 3d computer program and she generated a photo of what my breasts should look like with that size. If my breasts end up looking like that, I would be incredibly happy! ...but I am not sure how accurate this program is.
I told my PS that I did not want the push up bra effect or to be able to see the outlines of the implant at all. Based on her responses, it seemed like she thought I would have an "implanty" effect since I am so thin. That really scares me because I do not want to go too big!! At first I thought the 325/350cc was too big but I have been researching a LOT online and read that many women wish that they had gone bigger after their implants had d&f so now I am not sure...
Since I am Asian, I am also very afraid of bad scarring.
I held a 325cc implant at the PS office and the implant looked so big and felt so heavy in my hand; I could not imagine TWO of those being inside me! My skin feels so tight and does not seem like they would take stretching to that size very well so I am also afraid of stretch marks.
I am planning to have my BA done next Friday but I really want to have one more consultation with the PS before going under the knife. I know she will speak with me before the procedure but I just want to sit down with her for about 20 more minutes and make sure she knows what I want and what my major concerns are. It would make me feel much more comfortable.

Had my last consult today.
So my surgery is this Friday and I wanted to meet with my PS one more time to feel more comfortable.
I went over the 325 and 350cc sizes again because over the past few days I've been thinking they were going to be too big, then sometimes I go the opposite and think they might be too small!
I tried on some sizers and I was pretty happy with how they looked. My breasts looked pretty natural in baggy clothing and I could very easily play them up or down which is exactly what I wanted. I don't know why I didn't try on sizers on my first consult. I guess because we did the computer imaging instead.
This meeting today totally gave me faith and confidence in my PS because it was like she knew the perfect size for me when I first met her. I was skeptical at first but after seeing the computer generated photos and trying on the sizers, I feel reassured that I am going with a good size.
The PS said that I shouldn't be going so big that I'll be at risk for stretch marks or losing all of my nipple sensation. I also expressed my concern of having a wide breast gap and she said that shouldn't be a problem with the moderate plus implant and my BWD.
Afterwards I got my blood work done and got my meds. The only med I wasn't able to pick up was Celebrex because my insurance doesn't pay for it. The office said that it's like a really strong anti inflammatory and I shouldn't have to take it if I have extra strength Tylenol. Thoughts on this? Does anyone think that I really need to get it?
I've also bought some Vitamin C and have been rubbing cocoa butter on my breasts because I'm scared of getting stretch marks.
I asked the PS about Asians and scarring and she said she hasn't had an Asian patient with really bad scarring before. Does anyone have any suggestions for a really good scar treatment for afterwards?
I joined the justbreastimplants forum a while back but have not been upgraded to Member status yet so I couldn't view photos. I made a BA account on Instagram and it has been amazing so far. The community is super sweet and helpful and now I don't feel alone going into my BA. I have been posting a lot of pre op photos as well as some videos from my PS office.
If you have an Instagram, please leave your screen name for me and I will find you and follow you. I have mine on private and specifically said NO MEN on the description but yet I still get requests for male accounts. Seriously, guys....
Surgery is Friday!! I go from happy and excited to nervous and scared several times a day. I'm hoping recovery isn't too bad! Eeeek.

Day of treatment
My BA was today!
So I got to the PS office at 0830 , waited for about 30 minutes and then finished my pre op and answered some questions about my medical history. Then I was taken into a pre op room where I changed into a gown, got SCD sleeves and the nurse started my IV. Soon after, the PS came in and marked me up. After that, I was out in less than 5 minutes and I woke up in recovery!!
I remember waking up in recovery and not feeling pain. The nurses had told me that my chest would feel really heavy and it didn't feel bad at all. She also gave me an IM injection of Demerol and Phenergan. Aside from that, I don't remember much more. I don't remember getting out of bed and dressed or being wheeled out or being in the car ride home.
When I got home I apparently took some post op photos, posted them on Instagram and texted them to a friend. Then I fell asleep for about three hours and when I woke up, I looked at my phone and DID NOT remember taking those pictures or making those posts! I felt like another person did those but luckily I did not do or say anything stupid.
I was told to do some basic stretching exercises today. I have a bandage around my breasts now and cannot take it off or shower until Sunday. I tried peeking at the top of my breasts and there looks to be a big gap between them which is what I really, really didn't want but I know it's too early and the breasts need much more time to d&f.
Recovery has been pretty smooth so far. Everyone was right in telling me that my chest will just feel like I just worked out very intensely - like very sore muscles. I have been keeping up with pain meds and if I had to rate my pain from a scale of 1 to 10, I would say it's at a 2 right now. It's more of a discomfort. I really hope it stays that way!
I have been up walking around and just ate a nice dinner. No signs of nausea right now either.

hi! i'm asian too and BA is scheduled for 5/9. really excited, nervous and cannot fathom the change that is yet to come. like you, i'm also worried about bad scarring and stretch marks and the sizes!!! i'm contemplating between 300, 325 or 350cc. i dont want to look big and unnatural as well.
really stressed by this!
how are the incisions?!

August 24, 2014
Hi! There is not much difference between those sizes (have you seen what 25cc really is?) so I would suggest going with 350 if your PS okays it!
What are your proportions?
I haven't gotten to look at my incisions yet because my bandage doesn't come off until tomorrow but I will let you know as soon as I see. I stressed the concern about scarring as an Asian to my PS and she said she hasn't had a patient with bad scarring before so here's hoping!
August 24, 2014
I'm currently 32A bra size. Stand at 5'7" and weight about 55kg. Never married, no kids. Hoping to be a small C. i dont want a drastic change as i'm very active outdoor so I dont want this BA change to be in the way. Pls do update on the incision soon! good luck with the recovery and fingers cross that NO stretch marks and CC for us all!!
