So where to start... I have been wanting a BA for...

WORTH IT$7,200
So where to start... I have been wanting a BA for at least 10 years now. Turing 30 this year and am done having kids. Breastfeed for a total of 2 years and now am a small B/A I think :). Went up to a D when breastfeeding and would like them back. Minus the milk part :). I go between 125-129 and am 5'5". Thought I was 5"6" I guess I'm shrinking. I called a million Drs and finally found one who uses Sienta implants. I worrying about rupture and leaking and the form stable makes me feel a little better about having silicon in my body. My Dr is Dr Movassaghi in Oregon. I'm planning on textured maybe 410-450cc under the muscle. I'm worried about being too big and lean towards the 410cc but I have read a lot about people always wanting to be a little larger and my husband says go big or go home... Anyone else wear the rice sizers and think about the weight your going to be carrying around? Maybe I should start working out my back haha. I'm going to post photos of before and after just need to get the guts to do it :)

Arnica
Britt56April 7, 2014
I went to the Natural local hippie store and bought some Arnica tablets to take 2 weeks before my surgery( My Dr. has you take it post op). I have read that it helps if you start taking it before. Lady who helped me said not to use any peppermint with it because it counter acts the Arnica.... Hmmm wondering if anyone else has ever heard of this. Also got the cream to put on after surgery. I'm trying to make sure that I have a quick recovery. Picking a size is kind of driving me crazy........ Cant wait to talk to my Dr and hear what he recommends.

Whats arnica and whats it do?
October 27, 2014
its a natural medicine that decreases swelling and bruising. I think it works

I have heard of and used Arnica myself. I am a believer! Did not use any cream only pill form -- I would recommend to my children :)

For your best results you want to take Ignacia before surgery and Arnica after. Ignacia reduces the shock to the system and Arnica helps with the bruising and aids in the healing process. Good Luck

Getting my weight right for surgery
Britt56April 8, 2014
When I first decided to start calling Drs I was 122lbs... Now 130. Just lost 2lbs this week. Feeling more motivated to work out and eat better because I'm spending so much money on my boobs. Might as well make everything else look good :) Did my measurements today and my rib cage is 32'' and boobs 34.5'' waist 26.5'' bum 36''. I'm hoping to get back down to my normal weight so when my Dr and I decide on size it will be right. I have moved a lot and let myself go for the last 3 months. Started detox tea a few days ago. Hopefully all of this will help with recovery. That's my biggest concern now. May needs to hurry up and get here :) Going to post before photos when I lose some LBs, maybe I should post now... lost weight... then new boobs.

Looking forward to following your review! Congrats on this new journey!! Can't wait to read more from you! :)

Thank you for sharing your stats! We have the same measurements and height and weight - although I received feedback from numerous people that I look "gaunt" at 122 lbs on my athletic frame. I'm planning to keep my weight at 133 to 135 as I want to keep my curves (especially rear). So I am considering how big to go - I too, would like to be back to my nursing days size of 34D or 34DD. Your posts are VERY helpful to me! I have my consultations with 2 different surgeons on 6/29! :)

Good luck with your consultations. When I was 118 I looked like death and at 122 I thought I looked good but missed my butt. At 125/127 is my perfect weight. I feel a little thicker and not as comfortable at 135+. For some reason I'm staying a little over 130 since I have had my boobs done. I know they weight about 2lbs but still not want to be over 130. Mental thing I guess. I need to post my 1 yr post op photos. Been kinda lazy. Maybe that's why I'm not 122 lol
I'm quite biased at 400cc for people our size. I would have been very unhappy if I had gotten anything smaller. My add 2 cup aerie bra made me look bigger than I do now and I'm a 32DDD. 32DDD sounds big but in clothes it doesn't look like it. Sure in some tight stuff they look larger but over all I think 400cc is a good size. I got mod profile. Not sure if 400cc high profile would make them look even larger. I was about the same size as you when I nursed but I really think they were bigger and I was wearing the wrong size bra. After I got my implants I got a professional fitting and I was really a 32 band not 34. Who knows about the cup size. Let me know what your Dr thinks and you decide with the sizers. BW will determine really what can fit. Are you going to start a review?

Thank you for your reply! All the information you provided is very helpful! I'm glad to hear that you think 400cc is a good size for people with our frame. I should start a review and probably post preop pictures, so you could get an idea of my athletic frame.
is a good size for people with our frame. I look forward to seeing your updated pictures now that you are a year after surgery! The photos you have posted so far look great!!
I should start a review and probably post pre-op pictures, so you could get an idea of my athletic frame and what would be the best to go after! I do a lot of hot yoga and imagine I'll need all new tops after - so I don't fall out!
Did you state that your type of implants were not silicone, but the gummy bear type ( textured highly cohesive)? One of the two surgeons is offering a $500 discount on that type of implant. :)
