Hey All,
Where to start! I'll try not to ramble!
I have always been self conscious about my breast size since I started developing and the realization set in around my mid teens that they weren't likely to get any bigger than what I barley had. I have always felt VERY non proportionate. Not to mention every other woman in my family seems to have been blessed in that area while I got jipped! I have always had the thought of wanting bigger boobs for a long time, but I come from a small town where plastic surgery isn't something that is talked about or done. I barley know 1 person personally who has done it. So I guess that made me never seriously consider it an option. In my early twenties I would casually google breast augmentation, looking at before and afters, but being a poor university student at the time - the reality was far away. More years went by, but my insecurities were always there, every time I put a bra on, every time I got dressed. The constant secret comparison of my boobs against any woman I saw. sigh!
I stared to take this idea more seriously within the past year, researching more. looking up youtube vlogs, etc. and started actually talking about it out loud (to just my boyfriend - who has been supportive and has helped make this dream a reality).
I recently turned 28 and felt like it was time for me to finally do it! I don't want to feel like I'm wasting any more of my twenties being self conscious and not feeling sexy or feminine!
I researched PS in my city and eventually decided on one to book a consultation with - I was lucky I was able to get in as soon as I did (maybe it was a sign lol). The consultation went well, and I ended up booking my surgery less than a week later for Sept. 30th!!
I'm excited but also still feel like its not real... did anyone else feel like that at first? I feel like I'm going to start freaking out closer to. I have also never had surgery so that is the most scary part for me right now.

Hi there. Make sure you show your doctor your wish boobs! Also make sure you tell him/her that you want to make sure they do not fall to the sides when you lay down. And go jigger than you think. They will get soft Ina few months and before you know it you will feel they are yours and will get used to the size. Do not go out to buy bras until swelling is down and they are softer. You will love it but make sure they do not fall to the sides! I love my size and shape but they look weird when I lay down. I also think that a little over 400 cc will achieve your goals. The idea is that the width of the implants or both totals your chest wall for the most part. Under the muscle gel ones is the way to go. High profile will give you a perkier look and more upper fullness/cleavage. A moderate plus is nice too but it is harder to tell they are fake. You will live them. Good luck!

Good luck! I also liked BA on other people but never thought that I will actually go through with it. I never had any sergeries
August 11, 2015
Oops.. I never had any surgeries prior my BA & was very scared to do it.. However, I had surgery on July 22, 2015 & I still can't believe I did it :).. I am very happy with my results but still a bit nervous to have any side effects in the future. I guess all these feelings are normal :).. Good luck to you & can't wait to see the results! What type, size are you planning to do?
August 12, 2015
thanks!! Congrats to you!
I just made another post regarding size etc so far but still undecided!

Best of luck on your BA. Almost a month and half away. I found the last few days of the waiting game exhaustingly slow, but the time will creep up fast :)

2 months pre
Consultation + before photos
So I had my consultation on July 15th, which again, I was soo lucky to get. Took me some time to build up the courage to actually call, but I finally just did it! I'm pretty sure the receptionist originally said my PS was booking in FEBRUARY! But then appointments the following week popped up so I took it! I honestly don't know what I would have done if I had to wait that long - I 100% wanted this PS based on my research and how he performs the surgery, and I wanted them done by the fall. I've waited long enough!
Anyways. I excitedly waited a week, gathering info like what questions should I ask and putting an album of "wish boobs" together. The day finally came, I was soo nervous but calmed down once I got to the office. A very modern and clean and classy looking office. I was greeted by super nice staff and the receptionist sat with me and filled out all necessary information. I waited for about half an hour (I arrived like half an hour early) so my appointment started pretty much right on time. I was shown to a consultation room and instructed to put on a little gown that opened in the front. A short wait later, the PS came in and we chatted a bit about what look I was going for. My best description of what I'm imagining is a wanting to look like a "full c cup" without a bra. I have a smaller frame and am barley a 32B bra and I don't want to look like i'm in the D range. If I end up being able to fit into a 32D that's fine though! I know bra sizes aren't always the best judge of actual boob size. I just want to pretty much go as big as I can with keeping a natural look. After we discussed the look I was going for, he examined my chest and took some measurements. I then got changed and we continued the consultation in his office. Where we discussed stuff like type of implants, incision sites and placement. The only thing I knew I wanted was silicone implants, other than that I was open to suggestion of what he thought was the best option for me. We decided on silicone, under the muscle and incision under the breast. We continued to discuss more details (can't remember everything) but I felt like all my questions were answered. He describes this as his "happy surgery" which makes me feel better considering this will be my first (and hopefully only) surgery in my life.
After I was done talking to the PS. We (my BF came with me for support) went back into the first consultation room and waited for the nurse to come in and help me try on some sizers that the PS chose based on his measurements and what we had discussed. I think I tried on 5 different size types ranging from 300cc to 365cc moderate plus profile. I liked the look of the 365cc the best and said I wouldn't want anything smaller. So the nurse also let me try out a 410cc high profile sizer for fun (wasn't recommended by PS). At the time I felt like it was a little too much! (I didn't take a pic) At first I was kinda stressed out about picking a size, but the pressure was alleviated when I was told I don't have to choose the final size that day, just get an idea. The final size will be chosen at my pre-op appointment (Sept. 17th!!)
After my consultation I was stressing about sizes (I feel like this is a normal feeling lol). As I was realizing that i liked the 365cc but it was said that you loose about 25cc when going under the muscle. So I was like well I should get like 385cc then? and didn't know how much bigger in the mod. plus profile I could go (I'm thinner on the top of my chest and I feel high profile would make me look too fake). But after a couple days of being overly stressed about that, I let it go knowing I get to go back and try more on lol and I will make sure to let the nurse know my concerns before my pre-op to make sure they have the sizes i'm thinking there to try on!!
After I finished trying on sizers, I talked to the surgery coordinator to discuss possible dates to get a early fall surgery. The earliest date available that worked for me was Sept. 30th. Within the next week I booked the date! No going back hehe
Like I said above, it still feels so unreal to me. Although I have been thinking about BA for YEARS. It has actually been a short amount of time since I started seriously thinking about it again to getting a consultation and booking a surgery date that is now only 50 days away! (yes I have a countdown app on my phone lol!!)

Okay I don't wanna freak you out cause this is gonna sound sooo weird but I swear you are my boob twin. I was literally just telling my husband how excited I am that I found someone who looks exactly like me so I basically know how I'll look. I mean, the crazy part is I'm also thinner up top which has me worried about the high profile thing and [creepy] I also have a freckle on the top of one of my boobs. Freaky!
But some questions- was your BF allowed in the room with you? I don't want to go alone. What were some of the things your PS said on size and placement? The only thing I know is I want silicone and I just told my friend yesterday when asked about size- my exact words were 'I want to go as big as I can while still looking natural.' What led to the decision under the muscle and under the breast incision? I'm just worried about scarring. Sorry for so many questions. Thanks girl!

haha no worries! High five boob twins! I'm glad!! Although I think the freckle is unfortunately a gross zit healing (cuz sometimes my skin is so awesome).
My BF was allowed in the room with me the entire time - they were 100% fine with it. I did ask before hand though juuuuust incase.
In regards to size and placement - my PS based sizes he chose on my measurements he took of my chest - he's the professional so I think he's the better judge of making sure it will look good. What I learned is you can only go so wide in size before you have to start going outwards (hence the profiles). I went with under the muscle as that gives you the most natural look - also he mentioned it would be good for me because of being thinner on top. From what I've read, I think PS only go over the muscle for like body builders or if you have enough tissue to cover the implant to begin with.
Now for the incision - honestly when I first started researching again, I was all for under the armpit because I didn't want scars on my boobs and I was all like its way more hidden! BUT one thing that made me more open to the incision site was COST. I don't know if its different in Canada vs USA or even just different PS. For my PS, it is $1000 more to have the incision in the armpit. So I kept an open mind - did some more research and found that under the breast is actually the best site surgery and ease of good implant placement wise. And my PS made a good point that your armpit is actually quite public. Like who is going to see under your boobs? My BF was also helpful in making under the breast scar seem like not such a big deal. My PS also said he makes the incision slightly above the crease, so if you were laying down in a bikini top or whatever and it slid up a bit, you still shouldn't be able to see the scar. I'm still nervous of scarring - probably no matter where I decided.
I will always be happy to answer questions as best I can!! :)

Man I'm so jealous, the earliest date that I could get that worked with my schedule was Dec 21st!! It seems like a lifetime away. My pre-op isn't even til Nov 27th :(
At least it's something to look forward to in the midst of my final exams etc which will be in full swing during my pre-op time. I'm really curious to see how your surgery goes!
It will be exciting to follow you, because you have a similar body type to mine (bigger boobs though lol).
I can't believe it but with the sizers I actually love the look of 500cc. Maybe I'm doing it wrong lol. I just used pantyhose and rice but a post-op type bra I bought from Walmart with the zip up front. Not a real bra. Maybe that was my mistake?
Anyway, good luck! The count down is on. Let us know what size you end up going with.
Oh and also, I don't think you said which implant brand/style you'll be going with? What swayed you one way or the other?

Thanks for the support :) Yah I was kind of like aahh when I realized I could get a date that early but was like lets do this thing!!
And yah, everyone's body is soo different 500cc could be totally awesome for you!! I did the pantyhose rice sizers as well and had them to about 375cc so I was pretty close to what I liked so far! Considering when I was first looking at before and after photos I thought I wouldn't want to go over 350cc
I don't know what implant brand my PS uses...? but so far I have chose round silicone mod. plus profile. I actually didn't really understand how the profiles worked until I went to my consultation - cuz I was all like oh I want to mod/low profile, but I think its actually more based on your chest width so like I mentioned in another reply. You can only go so wide before you have to start going outward

I know what you mean about a whirlwind. I just went yesterday for my consulation and I'm booked for Sept. 2nd. We are somehat similar in stats. I am 5'3' and about 112 lbs. I'm going with 400cc. The doctor said I'll need HP more than likely, maybe even UHP. Although the UHP makes me really nervous. I'm pretty sure I'd prefer the HP. Guess September is our life changing month! Good luck with everything!
August 12, 2015
oh yay! SO soon!! Yah you are a little smaller than me so the HP would probably look good :) let me know what you decide!! good luck!
August 13, 2015
Oh okay! Wow, I never even thought to factor incision site with cost. That was my exact concern- that when bathing suits and things like that ride up that everyone would see my scars. I do a lot of yoga and activities that have me in sports bras regularly and I think I would die if my scars were flashing to the world
August 18, 2015
This is so exciting!!!! That size you posted looks great, natural. I will be following along :)
