I'm 33 years old, 5'4" and 110 lbs. I had always been flat chested (34A before kids), but it didn't bother me until after breastfeeding both of my sons for 13 months, I ended up a completely flat 34AA. This started hurting my confidence and I became self-conscious of my chest in front of my husband, who I have been with for almost 16 years. This is when I decided to look into BA. My husband doesn't care if I get the surgery or not, but I know that this will help with my self-esteem and be so good for me. I want to look as natural as possible, so my PS recommended Sientra 310cc anatomicals under the muscle. I will be scheduling my surgery for either June 19 or June 26.

I would love to know how your recovery went. I feel really comfortable at their office and their staff. So far, so good!

I'm on day 22.. I had never had any kind of surgery and was very nervous about anesthesia and pain.. The whole process was a cinch and I worried for nothing . My surgery took 22 mins I came right out of anesthesia they gave me a shot of Demerol and some naseau medicine and sent me home which was a 2 and half hour drive .. When I woke up from surgery I was in no pain I ask the nurse if they even gave me boobs cuz I felt nothing lol.. Slept pretty much the whole day... Day 2 I was really sore but nothing worse than how sore I get from working out at the gym .. Day 3 and 4 were rough but only cuz I got the worse headache I have ever had .. Also when I took my bandages off on day 2 the stretching was pretty intense .. The stretching has been the worst part of it all ... I will say I'm not yet happy with my size I still have to drop but i expected to be a lot bigger than what I am and would have went up the extra 25 cc .. My breasts look similar to yours maybe a tad bit more breast tissue but not much .. I weighed 103lbs, 5 '2 and 32aa at vs I got 400 cc mod plus profile.. My suggestion to you is to go as big as they will let you cuz you are gonna think they are small when you see them I promise! I also wished I would have went high profile for more projection instead of mod plus but dr wall suggested mod plus .. If you have any more questions feel free to ask .. It's a great place though and they will make you feel comfortable on day of surgery !

Thanks so much for the info. I am more concerned with how quickly I'm going to be able to life my kids after surgery than anything. I hate not being able to do with them what I need too.
May 15, 2015
My boobs look just like yours and my surgeon recommended the same exact type of implant, but a little smaller (250cc). I am really nervous. I am scheduled for June 24th.
May 15, 2015
I just looked and your review, and we are very similar! It's nice to know I'm not alone in having zero breast tissue. I love my boys, but they literally sucked the life out of my boobs! I am hoping to be a C, so I think the 310s are great for me. The Vectra imaging has been so helpful in giving me an idea of the size on my body. I have done so much research, I am more excited and anxious about the surgery than nervous. I'm more nervous about the recovery and how it will affect my kids than anything.

I am hoping for a full 34B/small C (32C) cup. My only concern is implant rotation. The surgeon is going to put mine under my muscle. I am a pretty active person and although I am not in to weight lifting and chest press, I do quite a bit of yoga, so there is push up involved. I am concerned about implant rotation. HAve you thought about that?
May 16, 2015
I am active as well, lifting heavy weights around three times a week. We discussed the possibility of rotation and he said he hasn't ever had one rotate and he is going to make the pocket under the muscle so precise that it shouldn't be a concern. I hope he's right!

Our stats are very similar and my before was just like yours, I got 320cc sientra anatomicals and love them. I went from nothing to a 32DD at Victoria's Secret (which is an extremely hard size to find btw). While I may technically be a DD I don't feel like they look too big or fake. I feel like they look like a C, or at least what I thought a C was lol. I removed all my photos but if you'd like I can post my before and afters :) I found it very hard to find others with zero breast tissue and my implant size on here.
But good luck with your journey!!

I am the exact same way! I have no boobs. I wear a 34a padded bra just so I look like I have something! My boyfriend of many years has never seen me without a bra! I feel too self conscious. I want to become a full c and my doctor advised 350-400cc's. However he said that may not even fit since I have no breast tissue and have never had a kid so he doesn't know how much my skin can stretch until he goes in, so 350 may not even fit! So scared, my surgery is next Friday!!!
May 16, 2015
I had mine on Feburary 16th so I'm three months post op today!! I'll post an update in a bit with some photos. I just deleted everything after surgery because I stopped getting on here, just happened to see your profile pop up in my weekly emails and thought I'd comment :)
May 16, 2015
I'm so glad you commented because it is hard to find before and after pictures with such a low amount of existing breast tissue (or lack thereof!). I have the Vectra image but it's always nice to see someone else's actual results.
May 17, 2015
I updated and posted some photos for you to see. I can't find my before and afters but we are the same before. Hope my photos help!

Does anyone else feel like time is going by SO SLOW?!? My BA is scheduled for one month from today on June 19 and it can't come soon enough! My pre-op appointment is June 3. It seems like all I do is get on here and read reviews, look at pictures, and keep a running list of ways I need to be prepared for surgery. I'll be on vacation from June 10-16 in Colorado for my brother's wedding, so hopefully that will make the time go by faster. Then I'm home for two days and then surgery!
The flip side of all of my excitement is the anxiety of having surgery and accepting the inherent risks of having surgery and a boob job. My kids and my husband are my world and I am fearful that my choice will affect them negatively somehow. I'm a worrier so I have run over every possibility in my head of something wrong happening. I know this is probably very normal but it's still hard to make a selfish choice and do something just for me when I'm so used to putting everyone else first. I just pray that all goes well and my result is just what I want.

Hi!! So glad I found you! We are pretty similar in stats! I have my surgery on Friday, so maybe my progress will be of some help. I'm SUPER nervous but excited too. I felt like this week went by normally but now the surgery day has snuck up on me and I'm going to be running around like crazy tomorrow! I'll be getting Sientra textured/shaped implants 275cc-310cc as well because I'd like to achieve the same size you're looking to be (full B, possibly small C). It is pretty hard to find people with similar stats/implant, so I'm really happy to have found yours. Reallly excited for you! Hope it all goes well! I think before you know it, June will creep up and you'll be on your way to your pre-op! :)
May 21, 2015
I'm glad you found me too! I read your review and will definitely be following your progress. Can't wait to see before and after pictures! Good luck tomorrow!

Yay!! I'm so nervous I can't eat!! I'm on treadmill now, working off this anxiety!!
May 22, 2015
We are the new full B club!!!! Yay to cute full boobs!
U mentioned u are nervous about hubby and kids. Me too. I have a 1 and 3 year old and both are a bit wild! Thankfully hubby helping and nanny help but I also feel guilty about this!
May 22, 2015
My boys are 3 and 16 months and my younger son is a mama's boy like crazy. Our nanny is here during the day at our house from 8:30-4, but the boys are all mine in the mornings. My husband leaves for work at 7 so I'm most concerned with getting my youngest out of his crib when he wakes up. I hate for my husband to have to change his schedule up (we own our own business), but I think its our only options in the mornings for the first couple of weeks. What's your plan?
May 30, 2015
I'm getting sientra round textures overs 533R and 575L sounds like a lot but I'm 5'8 with a large frame and a bwd of 16. Rock on sientra sista
June 7, 2015
We are very similar in size and I'm scheduled for 6/19 also! I'm 5'3 100lbs. I have a narrow chest so my PS has given me a max of 275 under silicone HP. I'll be following to see how you do. Good luck!
June 7, 2015
So excited for your surgery! After my pre-op appointment, my anxiety went down a lot about recovery, etc., so I should be back helping and contributing to our family very soon. I hope they are right! Good luck to you as well and I'll definitely be checking in with you as well!
June 7, 2015
You are saying exactly what I have been thinking. I have two boys as well. My husband is so supportive of my decision but I feel a bit vain and selfish. I'm so worried of anything going wrong.

Blood Work Done
amanda04agMay 27, 2015
Got my blood drawn by my PCP to send to my PS for my pre-op appointment next week. My husband thought it was completely awkward discussing the surgery with my doctor, who is also our neighbor down the road. I didn't feel weird at all, and he actually provided me with some insight as his wife had the procedure done as well.
My husband says that he is really surprised at the ease at which I talk about this procedure to other people. He says that it is so unlike me (and he's right), but I explained to him after all the research I've done and pictures I've looked at, I'm completely comfortable and content with my choice. He was really proud of me for this, and then it really made me laugh that I've been desensitized to boobs. You see, breasts have always been a weird thing for me to talk about because I am so self-conscious about my lack of. But after looking at this site and pictures daily for the past several months, breasts are no longer a source of anxiety or awkwardness, but now are a source of anticipation and excitement for me. I guess I really didn't notice how my attitude has changed since deciding to go through with BA and it makes me even more excited now!
Who would have known that an attitude change could happen BEFORE the procedure?!? I hope it continues to after as well!

It sounds like you've done some great research! Glad you're able to do this surgery for yourself. ;)
