29 Year Old / No Kids / 5'3" 116-118 Lbs 32/34a

Growing up, I have always been flat and envied women with at least B to C cup breast. In college, I was determined to just be satisfied with my chest size and hope it will eventually get larger.

However, after college my chest size did not change. I've also seen my sisters who are also small chested (34a-b) have babies and go back to the same size. At that point , I realized my chest size will not change. That is when I started to seriously contemplate about getting a BA. My first consultation was back in 2009-2010. I was uncomfortable with how my family react or think about a BA, unsure how it would affect breast feeding when I do have kids, afraid that my boobs would sage after babies, scared of the chance that I would have to get additional BA in the future in case of rupture or other issues, the price tag ($6000 at that time in SoCal), deciding on saline vs. silicon, etc.

Since my first consultations, VS came out with bras that add two cup sizes. I bought these VS bras and bikini tops in hopes this would help me look proportionate in clothing and swim suits. However, my chest looks empty in some tops even with the bra. When I wear the bikini top, sometimes there is a huge visible gap where my nipple may show. I'm constantly making adjustments which looks awkward in public. It's just so uncomfortable to maintain. I would feel uncomfortable hugging people because they will feel foam on my chest if they hug tight.

My husband and I moved to Hawaii in 2012 and went back for additional consults trying to find the best price. In Hawaii, BA ranged from $7500-$8500. It's higher than average In Hawaii but I wanted to get the procedure done. I was set to have a BA in Hawaii but we moved again in 2013 to Massachusetts. After many years delaying a BA and second guessing a BA, I decided that I wanted to move forward and chose a highly qualified PS in my area which I found on RealSelf. The doctor was very informative. His assistant was very nice and accommodating to schedule my first consult at their clinic. I went in for a consult mid-March. I've done a lot of research of BA over the years, I went to many consults prior to my visit, I researched the PS credentials, and looked at their website. In a way I knew what to expect so I didn't have many questions. I ask basic questions like where the operation will occur, location of incision site and why, type of implant they use and why, recovery time, and a few more I cannot recall. He then took pictures and measured my chest to see which size would be appropriate for my frame. He suggested 275-325cc. I tried the implants under my shirt and was on the fence between 300cc and 320 cc. I scheduled a surgery date and the nurse just told me to think about the size and then they would purchase the implants early April.

I went for a second consult today. I brought my husband to help with my decision and for him to ask any questions or concerns he had with the BA. I showed him both 300cc and 320 cc. He could not notice a difference either. It's quite difficult to know what it would look like at this point. The doctor said about 220 cc should bring me one cup bigger so I may be looking at full B or small C.

I decided to go with 320 cc. I didn't want to go bigger because he said it could lead to different complications. I really wanted to end up with a full C but I don't want to go too big. This is where I am second guessing my decision. I read on the internet of people with my frame, 275-350 cc should be a good size. However, there were people who thought 320 was too big or too small. I realize everyone's body is different and the look they have in mind is different.

I will just be comfortable with my decision. I paid for the BA ($7275) and got my prescriptions. I guess no looking back now. surgery date is April 9th. I'm looking forward to it and seeing the results.

Over the years, I've read many post on the internet and viewed videos which I found helpful yet discouraging. I'll post before and after photos later. I'll possible post my progress in hopesI've read many post on the internet which I found helpful yet discouraging. I'll also post my progress in hopes it will help someone.

Cheers!

I've been anxious this past week. During the week, I was researching what cup size 320 cc would bring me to. I read very mixed reviews. Some when to a B/C cup while some went to a D. I do not want to go a large as a D especially if I plan to have kid in the next 2-3 years. I also read a post of another fellow RealSelf user which she thought 320 cc was too large and regretted the process. That really made me second guess my choice. I kept thinking I should go to 300cc but after many nights thinking about it, I decided to stick with it. I was able to catch up on sleep over the weekend. I went to Costco and Target with my husband to buy essentials that I might need for recovery like Gatorade, water, soup, pomegranate juice, FiberOne bars, apple sauce, laxative tea, and other easy to prepare meals. I could not find a front opening sports bra at Target so I purchased one off Amazon. I hope it's the right size.

I also went to CVS to pick up my meds along with Dial soap that I started using in Saturday.

I have some questions for the doctor and nurse. I plan to ask them recommendations on scar treatment. I'll post more updates.

Cheers!

Does anyone have recommendations for scar treatment?

I was looking to replace my One-A-Day women's multivitamins with skin, nail, and hair multivitamins. Also, I read somewhere that Waxelene is a good moisturizer to prevent stretch marks. I also seen that the c-section scar strips are good to treat the incision. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!
