Sientra xtra high profile - 35yo | 5’5” | 110lbs | 32A - bwd 11.5

Where to begin.. I have wanted to increase my breast size for about 20yrs. I’m now 35yrs old and in a place and time in my life where I am actually able to do it! I had a few phone consultations which left me less than enthusiastic. Then, shortly after I had inquired at VIVIFY Plastic Surgery I was contacted and able to set up an in person consult with Dr Buchanan. I had a good vibe initially from the phone conversation with Jess in the office who was just as sweet in person and guided me every step of the way. Dr Buchanan was extremely informative, knowledgeable, patient and understanding, I just knew that I wanted him to do my surgery. Needless to say I put the deposit down to secure my surgery date the very next morning! Dr. Buchanans office sent me an assortment of 3D imagining for me to review which helped me to get a better visual. I am thankful to have found Dr Buchanan with his experience, knowledge and expertise I know I am in good hands on the day of surgery.

This site has helped me immensely so I felt it was only right to do my best to share. I did not plan on it but if it ends up helping one person, that would make me happy. So, I had my pre-op appointment a few days ago and was able to finalize the implant size (going with Sientra 400-420cc HP) Rewind to my consult, I felt like I knew exactly what I wanted at that point (450cc’s) from trying on the sizers and the fact that I wanted to go as big as I possibly could. I had already told my PS that I was okay with not looking “natural” I didn’t mind if they end up looking “fake” so to speak. I wanted to have some bra-less cleavage , fullness & volume.. Anyhow, after receiving the 3D images of various sizes 395 through 445cc’s I must have changed my mind over 200 times! I kept going back and forth between the lowest & the highest. After stressing all night I had ended up texting the next day to say I wanted to be “on the smaller side” I was happy & relived to get a response back (even at 9pm on a Wednesday) telling me it was okay, we could start the process over again at my pre op appt. just another reason why I love my surgeon. Fast forward to the pre op appt., again I tried on sizers, asked all the additional questions (I had a whole notebook of them lol) my PS was patient and answered each & every question. I was asked initially when I first arrived “What happened? Why did you change your mind?” not from my PS but from one of the ladies, it was comical because my man had come along to the appt for the 1st time & she sorta looked over at him. As if to say, it was he who changed my mind lol, when in fact I am able to make my own decision about MY body. So I laughed it off and explained that it’s a big decision and after thinking it over, literally obsessing over this every second of every day.. I had changed my mind, which I do ALL the time, I can be very indecisive; like when it comes to making plans, ordering food, or picking out clothes, except those examples are on a totally different level. In the end, both my BF & I laughed about it because he fully supports me with whatever I want to do, especially when it comes to my body. I would think that women change their minds quite frequently about the size they want. Going back and forth, like I have. My PS did say that most women end up saying “I wish I had gone bigger” afterward” and I may do that but maybe I will not, who knows?! IDK lol. I do know that I feel good about 400cc’s & am super thankful that my surgery is scheduled so close to my pre-op because if I had to wait 2 months or 6 months- I would change my mind 1000 more times. Anyway, if you’ve made it this far and if you also struggled/2nd guessed yourself- I can relate!!! This all feels like a dream! I’ve wanted implants for almost 20yrs so i am super excited & a bit nervous for surgery.. any tips would be much appreciated. )

At this point I’m just writing how I feel since I’ve been obsessed with breast size, shape, non stop every second of every day for the last month straight! I’ve even had multiple dreams of myself in surgery. I am quite nervous about the “day of” (it is my first surgery w/general anesthesia) but that changes moment to moment-day to day. Certainly, I am looking forward to changing my biggest insecurity concerning my body. However, it feels surreal, possibly because: #1) I have not told anyone, not a single family member nor friend (only my boyfriend & of course my Doc are aware) #2) I worked very hard to love my myself, recharge my self esteem & be comfortable with body, as is lol. maybe I feel a lil guilty augmenting my body?? Im honestly not sure, I can’t figure it out, and I don’t feel this way 24/7. I would say 99% of the time I’m super annoyingly ecstatic about my BA. The other 1% of the time I worry, about EVERYTHING lol day of surgery, post-op, risks, recovery etc. I am a natural born ball of anxiety lol always have been, I’ve had panic attacks over less important things. Ughh, only a few more torturous days ;) left! I really just am probably being impatient. I look forward to reading this post-op and laughing, so I’m adding pictures as well so I can compare, and be able to fully appreciate my long awaited BA journey.
