Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on my BA...
WORTH IT$6,385
Hi everyone! I'm just getting started on my BA journey! I have been reading many reviews and stories here at RealSelf.com for a couple of weeks now and it has really taught me so much. I appreciate everyone who has posted and commented! Thank you!
I have scheduled my first consultation for July 18th at Plastic Surgery Associates in Sioux Falls, SD with Dr. Miller. I currently live in South Dakota so it made the most sense to me to start here. The downside is that I do not, personally, know anyone that has gone here so I do not have any personal experiences except the ones posted on here and reviews on Facebook and Google, which makes me a bit nervous but what I have seen has been positive.
I am 29 years old, 5'8" tall, and weigh between 115 and 118 lbs but tend to stick around the 118 lb mark most of the time. I love to workout and have been doing a lot of it lately. My favorite are BeachBody workouts so that is what I do mostly along with some running, Zumba, dance, and elliptical work. I'm really interested in BA and workout success stories because working out is very important to me and and something I am worried about.
I am a mom to 3 littles ranging from 6 years old to 18 months old. <3 <3 <3 I am also a full-time nursing student going towards my BSN and I work as a nursing assistant at a local hospital, soooooo I lead a pretty busy life you could say! I have an amazing husband who helps me tremendously and supports me in everything I do! I couldn't ask for more!
Ever since I was in high school or early college and realized "the girls" stopped growing I have wanted to get a BA done at some point in my life because I have always been smaller chested and uncomfortable with how I looked in that area. I think the highest I ever got was a 32B while pregnant/breastfeeding and now after breastfeeding 3 kiddos I have literally shrunk down to nothing (pictures to come!). I wear my 32B bras still because I am too cheap to go shopping for new ones yet and they actually make me look like I have SOMETHING there when I wear them due to the padding. I would guess that I am actually probably a 32AA or maybe even less (I have not been sized in years) and I would like to go a to full C cup. My husband thinks I am perfect the way that I am and he's more of a butt guy anyway, but he's not arguing the BA procedure either. ;) As I mentioned, BA is always something I wanted done but I could wear padded bras and enhance my cleavage so I got by. Now that I have shrunk down to nothing and cannot even create cleavage I don't even feel like a woman anymore let alone feel sexy... so I feel desperate to get the procedure done now! So, here I am... on the BA journey! Hoping to get my BA scheduled for either sometime in September or October or maybe waiting until December when I am done with finals.
I do have some questions for anyone out there who has opinions or experience:
1. Has anyone breastfed after BA? What are the recommendations and risks involved? I plan to do more research online about this also but I was hoping someone here had some personal experience. We are planning to have at least one more child within the next year or two and I don't know if it is best to wait to get my BA done until after we are done having children or if there will be no issues so I can continue as normal. I am willing to wait if everyone recommends that and plan to ask my PS his opinion as well but I just feel so unhappy right now so I was hoping to get the BA done sooner rather than later if there are no big contraindications.
2. I have the summer off but I will be continuing as a full-time nursing student this fall. My semester runs from August 21st until the first week or so of December. I was considering doing the procedure during the semester if there is a time I have a few days off of class. In your opinion, do you think this would be okay or should I wait until December when I am done with finals and have a month off of school? I'm not sure how long it takes to "feel normal" or how much the procedure will affect my schoolwork and ability to go to class. Opinions and experience greatly appreciated!
3. Considering my lifestyle, height, weight, etc. what would you all recommend for me in terms of type of implant, CCs, profile, saline vs. silicone etc? I'm curious what you ladies think!
I am sure I will think of more questions to ask you all but for now those were the big burning questions I have! Responses are greatly appreciated!

Hi!! So to answer #2, I would say to wait until December because your body type is similar to mine and because I also didn't have much breast tissue to begin with, my healing process was much longer. Most women are back to work within a week but I actually took 1 month off..... I am also a waitress which is extremely strenuous on the body but I am also a full time student. I was able to attend classes after 2 weeks so that shouldn't be much of an issue. I hope this helps!! :)

Thank you so much for your input! I will definitely keep that in mind! I think that my job and clinicals with school could be similar to waitressing at times because of lifting patients etc. so your experience is valuable. I appreciate it!

Current State of Boobs
As promised, here are some current pictures of what I am dealing with. I apologize for the poor lighting. I will take some better ones before my BA!

I bet you will have amazing results! It seems (in my opinion anyway) that women who start of with smaller breasts that are still relatively perky have really good results. I was reading your earlier posts...good call on waiting till December. The recovery was more than I expected.
July 27, 2017
Well that's good to hear! I hope I have good results! And yeah it's hard to wait once I get my mind set on things but he was booked until sometime in September which is right in the middle of things. Did you have any other input on a BA while still planning to have kids since youre a mom as well?
July 27, 2017
Waiting is so hard!!! I remember just wanting my surgery date to be here now. My husband had a vasectomy after our second (I wouldn't have minded a few more kids, but he wanted to be done at 2). So I don't know much about breast feeding & pregnancy with implants. I started looking into a BA shortly after the vasectomy & ended up deciding to do it about a year after.
My kids are pretty young and wouldn't understand a BA. I just told them that mommy couldn't pick them up because i hurt my shoulder and it needed time to heal during my recovery phase.
July 27, 2017
Yes! I'm ready for classes to start so I have something else to focus on and keep me busy to pass the time! I think I will have to tell my kids something similar because they won't understand it yet either. Thank you!!
