WORTH IT$5,500
I'm 63 inches, 115 lbs, 12% body fat. I'm nervous because of how little body fat I have and since I'm a fitness model I need these boobs to look natural. (most women are at 20 - 35% body fat) My PS just did a fitness trainer 8 weeks ago and she looks great, but she's only at 25% body fat. My biggest questions at the preop will be my concern over my low body fat percentage and how to make sure the BA looks as natural as possible.
As a body builder, figure coach I have always had clients who did it. I advocate it. I added some bulk muscle mass to my body and now my chest (flat chest) is out of proportion. So, time to do it! I'm scared but excited.
It will be under the crease incision, silicone, under the pectoral muscles. Kinda bummed that I will be not allowed to lift or yoga or ninja warrior or pushup/pull up at all for 6 weeks. Eek. So if anyone is a fitness / body builder and has done this please share your experience!

8 days out - can't wait!
in 2 hours my husband and I will be meeting our PS to determine the sizes. I'm shooting for a c cup, and natural look, but I def. want some boobage! I will return here later today to share with you all what occured. Wish me happiness and perfect boob thoughts! Can't believe that this time next Monday I will have finished my BA.

My surgery is scheduled for this thursday.. I'm ready and excited, but concerned about not being able to run for a while! Can't wait to have a proportionate body after working so hard. We deserve it!

cool! Are you doing under muscle too? We are so close time wise. :) I'll follow you too. Yeah, exercise is my mental meditation. I hope the 6 weeks no lifting (and no motorcycling!) thing will be okay. I will take up reading, crafts and doing taxes meanwhile, lol.

Yeah, under muscle.. Got it done yesterday. Sore and tight in chest and moving arms and breathing deep difficult. Keeps getting better though. I'm going to start walking in a week or so. Exercise is same for me. No running for 6 weeks :(

excited to know what I'm getting!
So my super awesome husband has been behind my idea since I first mentioned it a year ago, and last month when I said I wanted BA he was, nonchalantly, supportive. He will do anything for me and is such a gentleman. He came along today for the preop, we met our PS. Dr. Chike-Obi. What a nice and mellow doctor. He answered all of our questions, educated us and was very patient with us. It took 2 hours for me to get measured (I'm symmetrical except a tad leaner on the right pec side), decide on size (I'm going silicone 325cc each), and paperwork.
I asked about size differences and he said even if I were assymetrical, most women are, he would keep the implants the same because different implant ccs = different widths and you DON'T want two differing widths of implants! Whew. This guy is good.
Also talked about capsular contraction and the studies and latest theory of what causes it is a) patient has infected glands so adding implant triggers body's response b) going through the nipple may be a leading cause. I am going under the pec muscles and the cut will be under the boob crease. This will ensure least amount of complications or chance of capsular contraction he says.
Talked about shape, I thought I wanted high profile. lol, wrong. High profile means 325ccs will be in a cone and that is not what I want. I'm going 325cc in a regular, to ensure that the implant fits my current breast width, yet giving me volume. VOLUME, baby! That's what I want.
So, starting with 200cc, and trading each implant out of my sports bra until I got to 400cc helped me decide what I wanted. Originally I was checking out shape, but the Dr. made it clear that "don't look at shape, look and feel the volume". OK. Decided the 325cc were a tad bit bigger than the look I wanted, but felt alot better than the 300cc volume. Tried on my shirt. yep, 325cc each it is!
My meds:
minocycline hcl for antibiotic
promethazine hcl for nausea
tramadol for muscle relaxer
emend prior to surgery, just one
flexeril 3x day for 10 days muscle relaxer
I'm allowed to take kava kava when it runs out.
Basics like no blood thinners and what to wear were covered, as well as expect chest pressure first two days, like a hard workout feeling.
I thought I was getting Twilight anestesia, but it looks like they will be knocking me out. good. I don't want to know about it. I will wake up and my husband will drive me home to rest. The next day is a follow up appt., and a week later as well.
I purchased my scar therapy silicone pads already, and am all set to be wearing them for the next 3 months as the scars heal up. No tubing, lake swimming, surfing, pool swimming for 6 weeks.... okay. *sad face*
I plan on coconut water, soups and brisket for meals once I can. Especially until my body wakes up by day 2 or 3 from the anestesia. (All digestive functions cease due to it, and until it's out of the body you shouldn't eat! Only hydrate). I'm guessing that the first day or two I will be on a liquid diet. No prob.
I'm very excited and nervous but feel that the staff and the Dr. are so nice, professional and have answered all of my questions so well I'm in great hands!
The only thing is I have not, and do not plan on, told my parents. My mom is extremely judgemental and rude. She competes with me so I see this as something that, if she has any sense whatsoever, she will just not talk about. If it comes up I will just brush her off. That is really why I'm so nervous about my family and what they will say once they notice....
