Hi Everyone.
I'm 23yr old, 5'4 120lb and really frustrated because the post I just wrote got completely erased and now I have to start all over! LOL.
For as long as I can remember, I've wanted boobs. I remember being in like, 4th grade and being excited to grow up and have boobs. Fast forward to 8th grade and I still hadn't developed any yet. In high school, I would sometimes wear 2 bras. There came a time when I realized I probably wasn't going to get boobs. My older sister is around the same size as me, even a tad smaller. My mom and her mom have a decent size chest, but the women on my dad's side are flat... lucky me got my dad's genes! When I was around 17 I read somewhere that women's breasts can continue to develop until 19-20yrs old..nope, not mine! So during my years of college I tried pills, creams, herbs, etc. to try to get my breasts to grow. They didn't. At that point, a BA was never an option. I thought that was so fake.
For at least the past year, I've been really really self conscious about my boobs. The left one is probably a 34B and the right is an A. So I could either wear a 34A bra and have my left boob smushed in there, or wear the B and have my right boob floating in there. I've been wearing a 34B and along with that I typically wear a cami under every shirt. If I bend over even a little, anyone looking could see my right boob because it doesn't fill out the bra and the material doesn't lay flat against my skin. That has been a major insecurity of mine. Before a BA was even an idea, my boyfriend of 3 years always told me I was beautiful and sexy. I just don't see it. at all. I don't feel feminine at all. I want a breast augmentation for myself. It's not the "oh all my friends have boobs, I want them".. it's a self confidence thing. I dont like looking at my body. I'm ashamed of how my breasts look. I want to love my body and love looking at it. I want to feel feminine.
I had a BA consultation last week and I told the doctor that I just want "some" boobs. I don't want anything huge. Ideally, some people (acquaintances) may not even know I got surgery. The doctor recommended a
silicone high profile implant, 300cc in my right breast and 280cc in my left. He said that would bring me to a C cup. I am so worried that it's going to be too big. I made another appointment for next thursday to try
the sizers on again with different outfits. I'm hoping that will ease my worries and I'll be able to schedule the surgery. I'm looking at mid October.
I talked with my mom about it and she initially said she didn't think it was a good idea. I explained to her how unhappy I was with them, and of course talking about my uneven breasts made me start crying and once she realized how uncomfortable I was with them, she was more open to the idea.
SO, that being said, even though this is ultimately my decision, I do want her support in this. Especially because I might need her help after surgery!
She said for me to look for a reputable surgeon and find out the risks/etc/ and she was pretty concerned about pregnancy/breastfeeding. I'm worried
about that as well. Can anyone give insight on that? She said in the past that her boobs didn't grow much during her 2 pregnancies. She breastfed as well and her boobs don't look too deflated (so maybe I have those genes?) Does it depend on the person? I read that they could move or drop during
pregnancy so I am concerned about that.
I'll add some photos of my body so you can get an idea of my body frame. I'll also upload "wish boobs". I'll try to get some actual photos of my boobs later today or by the end of the week.
Any comments/tips/stories to share would be fantastic!

I have the exact same issue! I wear a B cup bra but my left is larger than my right so I fully understand not being able to fill out on the right side! It is tough to feel confident and at peace with your body when you have those insecurities. I'm planning to get my BA done next year. All the best for your journey. I hope you achieve what you are after from it :)

I've been reassured by many that augmentation won't impact ability to breastfeed! If you would
Have been able to breastfeed pre BA then it would be the same post BA! That first sizing appointment can be daunting when you're used to not having much there then suddenly put in a sizer and feel like your chest is huge! I can assure you that after trying on sizers multiple times they start to look just normal and not scary large! My biggest fear was waking up with giant balls in my chest and now that im 6 weeks I feel like mine are quite proportionate. Even small at times! So glad to hear you have your mom's support :) good luck with your sizing decisions!

I just had my surgery one week ago and got 300cc too. Your body is amazing and 280-300 will for sure bring you to a C without being out of proportion to your body. Especially since you have a thin waist and wide hips, C cup will give you that hourglass body. Can't wait to see your results and good luck in October!

I think 275-300ccs will look great on you! I am 5'9 and 130lbs and I'm getting 325-350cc for a C! I am a lot taller but you will see a good result I think :)

Here's what I'm currently at.. Obviously lacking in the boob area....the left is bigger than the right and i HATE how the right doesn't fill out a bra... The shape of my breasts are something I'm also really self conscious about

I think your Breast shape looks fine! One thing to rmbr is that BA won't change the shape - it can even make the shape more pronounced after. That's what my surgeon told me because he pointed out that one of my breasts is rounder and the other is more of a straight slope. I never ever noticed that til
He drew the lines on my pre op picture lol. I hear you on the boob gap - I have one smaller than the other too!

Your before pictures look very much like what I have right now and your wish boobs are the same ones I have saved from Instagram! haha! Looking forward to seeing how you get on :)

Nope, not planning to get it done until Jan/Feb time which is ages away :( I have other commitments at the moment but I am obsessed and I just want it to be that time already haha!

ohh, gotcha. well I'll keep you in mind and try to post a lot especially since our stats/wish boobs are similar :) I'm already finding myself getting pulled into the bra section of stores and I have to drag myself out haha
Thank you for taking the time to rewrite your wonderful post! Here is a list of important questions that you'll want to make sure you have discussed with your doctor...and perhaps share with your mom to help put her mind at ease. Keep commenting on reviews that you like so those members can easily find you and provide you with feedback...especially the part about breastfeeding post BA. (I haven't heard of many problems at all with implants and breastfeeding.) Also, join the October 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum for some additional support throughout your journey!Â
