Hey guys, I'm 31 yrs old 4'10 and 100lbs. I'm so excited to have my breast augmentation done. I've always wanted bigger breasts and never ever in a million years did I think I would actually have the procedure done. I've thought about it and I finally had the courage to bring it up to my husband. He basically said whatever makes me happy and he was on board And he has been supportive ever since. Soooo I have one son and he's now 3. I breast fed him for about 5 months. My breast size was 34b and I used to weigh 135 but since this year has started I began working out and taking care of my body and I now weigh 100lbs unfortunatelyy my breasts have deflated : ( soooo this is where I am today... I met with Dr Jeffrey Hartog on July 21 and he is absolutely amazing. His office is very clean and the atmosphere is very comforting. His employees are wonderful and they took there time and spoke to me addressing all of my concerns. Dr Hartog however is a very busy dr but he took the time and briefly described what he thinks will suit me and then he asked me what I would like my results to be. He said he think 300 325 silicone mod pro. At first I was thinking saline but he said the silicone would feel and look real being that I was petite in size. I'm thinking now 380 silicone mod pro. I just don't want it to look fake because the only people in my family that knows is my husband and my sister. Dr Hartog also has the vectra 3d imagining so I can get an idea of how it would look and I posted pics for you ladies to see and hopefully give me some ideas. He said the pics would not be as accurate but when I come in for my preop I will get to try on sizes. I also have my preop on August 19 2015. This site has helped me so much and hopefully I will be able to do the same

Thank you Beth I started off my jogging around my community and eventually joined a gym that lasted one day lol but I got an idea about what I was supposed to do. I couldn't do the gym because of my toddler so I just did my workouts at home planks, squats and I purchased the Natalie Jill dvd which helped out a lot she is amazing! Some days were definitely tough but music actually helped me going again. Yes I am super excited and I will def join the forum thank you!

I think sometimes a dvd can be just as effective (and a lot quicker) than going to the gym. If you have a little one around, the gym can be a challenge. Good for you for being so motivated!

Oh yea it most definitely is a challenge and thank you again

Go with whatever you think is suitable for you. My doctor recommend saline for me because im young and said silicone has only been back on market for less than 10 years. She said it was safer. Another thing is salkne incisions are much smaller because the implants are not pre-filled, which is great because you can go a little bigger if you change yoir mind last minute and if you ever replace them again the incision will be larger and more noticeable . Only thing about saline is its much firmer than silicone.

The size you chose will definitely take you to a D, because you are so petite, which will look nice on you, but it all depends what look you are trying to achieve.

Heyy that's why I'm torn between the two my ps recommended silicone but I read on here that sometimes they do because it more expensive but I really didn't care about the price I'm mainly concerned with the safety and I really want it to look real another thing that he mentioned was that he knows MRI's are expensive so he usually tells his patients to do ultrasounds and also like you said bc I'm so petite the silicone would be best for me. I'm just worried about having to always get a checkup for it and I'm not sure if I'll be on the edge wondering if and when it will leak. I have my post op on aug 19

If you don't want people to know go with his suggestions. Fake is fake it its very obvious especially when you don't start with much. Just had mine downsized for that reason. Good luck
August 5, 2015
Implants are not made like they were 30 yrs ago. If you've felt someone's breasts with silicone vs someone with saline you will see why the dr is suggesting it. If you feel your doc is trying to make an extra buck you're probably at the wrong doc. Difference is $900. Across the board. To do want water bags or to feel natural

Hey guys, usually for some women the times goes by slow when they're going to have there BA done. Well for me time is flying pretty quickly and for some reason I was laying in bed thinking wth am I doing. I know I have been wanting this for the longest but now I'm worried not sure if I'm reading way into this but I just couldn't sleep last night thinking about all the negative things that could happen. It sucks bc I'm so excited. I know my ps dies great work but I keep thinking what if my body just rejects it and my money goes down the drain. It sucks to feel like this.

My experience was easy, I was prepared for worse. six weeks after my surgery I was running around like nothing. you will need lot of patience and support at home. but at the end girl" it is worth it" I was always stick fiure woman, but now I feel som good about myself. good luck to you. keep us posted. HUG!

Do it girl!!! I wanted a nanny whole life and I am now 3 months post op and so happy. Everything you wear looks amazing and never have to worry about wearing a big padded bra anymore! It's the best. I felt the same way before my surgery, I was so scared about spending all this money and worrying it wouldn't work out and what people would think. But now nothing matters because I feel so good in my own skin and you can't beat that. Good luck with everything. And I promise you're gonna feel so pretty and special. (After the first week of surgery lol) west wishes!

A ba not nanny lol***
August 11, 2015
Lol I figured it was a typo... I can definitely relate with the padded bra. I live in Florida and it is extremely hot here so you can imagine how uncomfortable it feels. Thank you so much for the advice I really appreciate it!!!

I am 4'11. About 103lbs. I was a 32B breast when I had my first BA. The PS put in saline 300cc on top of muscle, small nipple incision. I ended up with a 30FF bra, which is about the same as a 32F (Freya or Cleo) Since I had such small frame and was petite…I looked really top heavy. Could never wear any padded or molded bra. I looked like an inverted ice cream cone body shape. I was toned but all breast. I found that I often just looked heavier than I was. unless I wore body hugging tops all the time and then I was always "Boobs Ahead". Years later, those girls began to fall because gravity takes it's toll. So present day…just had another BA, uplift and removal of capsulature in both breasts. Not so great of a surgery. This time I had 220 cc Mentor round silicone sIltex textured unders put in. I wanted my implants out completely. It is LA and the land of yoga, well and I guess the land of [RS bleep] too. However, doing a lift and encapsulature when they were so large for my frame, required another implant. Unless I wanted to do three separate surgeries. The first to take out old implants and correct capsulate. 4 months later do the uplift and an additional surgery later if I did not like my naturals with very little upper pole fullness with another implant. I am 2 weeks into recovery. Not so easy this time. So far the breasts still look huge for my petite size, but I understand they are still swollen. I think, my point is…there are so many ladies out there thinking bigger is better, but no one really gets what that looks like 10 to 15 years later. Implants don't last. They can pop, leak or encapsulate early on or later. Mine lasted 20 years! A real record. I support everyone's decision to want to get your girls standing up and proud. I just want to throw a word of experience into the mix of support and encouragement. Just be very very clear to you PS, if you want upper pole fullness or natural sloping. And never say a C or D cup because that is so up to subjective interpretation and not yours because you are under sedation. Do your homework. Check out the implant manufacturers sizes and profiles. Higher profile gives a fuller and sometimes faker look. However these can be better proportionately for narrow builds and petites. Seintra and Mentor Silicone have different profile measurements for the same size base. Also you want your base to be just right for your petite body. If not the implant will be too far under your armpit and then bra shopping is a real pain. I have had to buy all my bras on line once I got measured for my correct size. Once in a while Nordstrom or some specialty place would have something but the bigger the breasts, if your back is small and petite…the bigger the straps, the larger the wires and you are no longer wearing cute sheer lacy numbers. You have " Zenna warrior" cups! I used to longly look at VS and La Perla and know not even one would come close to fitting me properly. I always advise going to a really good bra fitter too! Best of luck ….and really bring your PS pictures you like and stress your petite size otherwise they seem to forget that detail. Hope this is helpful to anyone petite out there! Its tough and expensive to learn it all first hand.

I am certain they will tell you…stop all OTC painkillers except tylenol, two weeks before. Also I was told be careful about supplements…no more flax seed oil, herbal supplements etc that can act as a blood thinners. Must not go back on them until 2 weeks after surgery as well. I was advised to take arnica supplements and bromelain 500mg (3X/day) after the surgery. I have heard of some people taking silica as well. Those all help with reducing swelling and bruising after the surgery. They put me on Accolate 20 mg 2X/day to help with stopping any potential encapsulation issues for three months after surgery. It has some side effects to kidney or liver so they blood test after i month to check and make sure it is not doing more harm that good. Of course your PS will give you all the RX that they require you to have so you can fill them prior to yoursurgery…any antibiotics and painkillers. I was told make sure you eat enough too. Protein especially after surgery. I found smoothies were great cause they helped with tummy issues and crackers of some kind. Many of us tend to want to cut our calories because we are just laying around for 2 weeks or more, so we hesitate to eat more, but eat less. Apparently this can slow the healing process down. Keep salt intake down after surgery because salt makes us retain fluids and keeps everything swollen longer. This was all the advice from my PS and followup nurse. So for now…just be kind to yourself…enjoy your time to do things. Keep your alcohol intake down and have some fun. You will have plenty of time for TV and internet ahead of you! One more thing….what I like to call stopping "concrete butt". All the painkillers and surgical meds can lead to severe constipation afterwards. I drank prune juice, ate prunes, had tons of water and fiber and still had issues. Try and find what stops that issue for yourself, so you will know how to handle that after the first 4 days back home.
