I have already had my first two consultations with the Dr. I explained to him that I want a very natural appearance and do not want my boobs to look fake. I also want my boobs to fill out more at the bottom than have them push up at the top.
I have wanted boobs since a teen and have finally saved up enough to buy them. I am super excited but also extremely anxious. I have never been cut open before. I am also concerned about other things that can go wrong post op, like infection or capsular contraction.
I felt the need to tell my parents, sister and grandma. Not because I need their permission, I just feel that things have a way of getting out and felt that if I didn't tell them I would feel like I am trying to hide something, or that if I don't tell them and they find out they will be upset and disappointed that I felt I couldn't share it with them. I told my mom and dad last week and the response was quite unexpected seeing as I have always felt that my parents are super conservative.
To my surprise my mom had her boobs done after she had us. I was so shocked!!! She didn't even tell me after I told her that I am considering it. It was my dad that told me out of concern for my health. (my parents are divorced) Apparently my moms implant ruptured and she had to have emergency surgery. Crazy!!! That is another reason for wanting to tell the people close to me, because I cannot imagine having to go through something like that alone.
My mom (not having told me that she has implants) were very supportive and told me that it is a personal choice and that I do not need to tell anyone if I don't want to.
My dad's response was that he was a bit shocked because he hadn't realized I felt that there was something wrong with me. He told me that he was concerned for my health (explaining his experience with what my mom went through) and also said that he thinks I have an amazing personality and that he doesn't want me to change.
Maybe it is silly but this is something that I am also scared of.... The psychological impact that it will have. I do not want my personality to change or treat people differently afterwards. My dad said that he felt my mom changed after the surgery and that she started wearing revealing clothing. He also said that maybe it wasn't true and that maybe it was his own insecurities.
Either way I told him I doubt I will change and will still continue wearing my hoodies and Tshirts (being a bit of a tomboy). But after our conversations I am a bit worried about it. Does anyone have any advise?
I still need to tell my sister and grandmother. Grandma is going to be tricky, she will probably cry and I will end up feeling bad....
I am currently a 32A and looking to be a full B small C. I will post pics of my current boobs in the coming days and keep everyone updated on wards. I hope that sharing my journey will help others, because this website has been extremely helpful.

I made the payment today. Will have my post op Tuesday afternoon and will be first to get my new boobies on Wednesday. The receptionist told me to be there at 6:30 and that the operation will start at 08:00.
This has been such an emotional roller-coaster ride. I've been scared and excited to thinking maybe I should cancel or postpone. But now I'm just super excited with a little bit of nervous.
I also told my grandma today. What a champ!! I love her to bits. she is the most amazing person on earth. she told me that she understands and that if she where still young and not as fortunate in the boob department she would've done the same. LOL. Tonight I'll cheers to that.
I'm so glad that my family are so supportive and feeling blessed to have them and this wonderful online community.
Will upload some pre op boobies pics tomorrow.

I doubt your personality or outlook will change. I had my BA done in Feb in Johannesburg and the only change it has had is a massive confidence booster and not in an arrogant way. I started walking straight up as opposed to round shouldered. I started socialising more. I almost came out of my shell and was more pleasant to be around but I was really depressed about the state of my breasts before BA. It had a hugely negative effect on everything I did and just on me in general. Yes I started wearing tighter tops and boob-tubes etc but those were tops I had dreamed of wearing without feeling self-conscious. I still dress conservatively to work and on weekends I wear what I would normally have worn. Your fashion sense doesn't change because your breast size has.
If you have been dreaming about it for that long then its obviously something you want more than anything. For me, BA is the best decision I ever made. I would do it again if I had to. If you do it, do it for you. If you don't do it because you're worried about how others feel about it, you will probably end up living with huge regret. My only regret was not getting it done sooner than I did.
At the end of the day, each individual is different but I do believe it is a decision YOU must make for yourself and a not a decision others must make for you.
Keep us posted and good luck!
