hey everyone. ive been on hormones for 8 months and because i had barely any breast growth and can not stand the violent mood swings i decided to pay for breast augmentation. ive paid for my surgery already but now ive suddenly grown breast buds and super hard swollen nipples. im wondering if its  still possible to get my breast implants with these hard breast formed buds under my nipples.

Hi Elektrikkiss 🙋‍♀️ Welcome to Susan's!  I'm Jessica.  My buds were hard for a few months then softened up.  If your breasts are finally kicking in, perhaps hold off the BA till they get enough tissue for a good success.  I see your new here, so I'll post some links that may help you get better acquainted with the site.

i do not want to hold off. i cant. ive already paid for my operation and date is booked. i  just want to feel like a complete woman. i just want to know if this will impact my surgery at all. i dont plan on taking any more hormones after my surgery is done. perhaps a low dose just to maintain my femininity.

Welcome to Susan's Place. Normally I would advise 2-3 years before considering breast implants because breast development can continue over 5 years. The bud that you feel will always remain there and continue to develop as long as you take estrogen. Over time, the bud should become around 3 inches across but would become covered with breast tissue that would make it difficult to notice. The problem with implants at this stage is if your breast continue to grow, the implants may be improperly place and it may require a revision surgery to remove or relocate the implant so your breast appear correct.

Your first set of implants should be size limited. The doctors shouldn't be considering more than about a B or C cup for the first set of implants as it take time to stretch the skin and muscles out. It would be different if you have a reason amount of development as you would just be adding to what's already there.

I am not an expert on implants as I haven't had them but from what i understand there are two ways of placing the implant. One is above the muscle and the other is under the muscle. I suspect under the muscle shouldn't risk growth potential but I don't know about above the muscle. This is something you need to discuss with the doctor before you have the surgery.

As for mood swings, this should be discussed with your endo. There are ways of delivering hormones that provide a consistent delivery. An example is if you are on injections once every two weeks, half a dose every week would even out your levels better. Patches, gels and pills can also provide a constant deliver with the proper dosage schedule but your endo will need to know about the problem in order to determine the correct solution for you.

will the breast bud remain even when im off hormones? its about 2 inches.

Buds are a permanent part of the breast and even when small, should remain. Girls may not be aware they are there because they normally have a thick layer of breast tissue over them so you need to do some real poking around to feel them. I was off HRT for 10 years and during that time, my breast shrunk a little but the buds remained.

THANKS for answering my questions. one more im supposed to stop my hormones a month before surgery anyway will the current soreness/inflamation in my nipples fade away in that time?

I don't have an answer for that question. If your  not on injections or implants, it's likely your nipples will be less sensitive but I don't know for sure.
