Hi, so I'm having BA on the 29th of November. I'm excited but a little scared. For those of you who have had BA what was it like pain wise and how long before you could do stuff again. Are you pleased with your results? The nurse told me the number one complaint from woman is that they didn't go big enough!

Thanks, April

You know, for all my life I've been saying "I don't like big boobs, small it's better" and "If I was a woman, I would want tiny small non obstructing breasts". It's funny how I say the opposite of what I really think.

The main problem with a big BA for me is... That it would not be concealable anymore. Imagine I have not been able to develop a decent degree of passability, including the voice and after the BA I lost the ability to use the "boy mode"... It would be a living hell.

There is no "boy mode" for me so I'm thinking DD?......just kiddin! I'd like to be a C cup.

So my homework assignment was to find pictures of breast that look like what I want. Playboy lingerie addition is perfect! It's page after page of bare breast (very little lingerie).

You're so utilitarian  . For some men, you only need your breasts to pass. 

Pain? If I remember from 1999, as I purged most op memories, it was quite painful. I think I was doing stuff immediately, but very gingerly.

You know, I actually used to read the Playboy Articles. Although that probably means I was not interested in other things that should be common as a teenager... In fact, I only bought it so that they would be "accidentally" discovered and make me look like a normal sexually hyperactive teen. In fact, my father wanted me to buy the Playboy instead of Comic Books...

I used to tell me that. I'm more concerned about back pain, I already have weak core and back muscles. I would not want to put them, to end removing them like Punky Brewster...

Hi Aprilrain,

Congratulations on making such a serious decision. Any form of body modification comes at a high cost, and I'm not talking money.

However I'm drawn to TessaM's comment about continued breast growth after BA. I don't know how long you have been on HRT, but I believe it's something you need to seriously think about. After all you are going to be replacing BA's every 8-10 years should all go well.

Be safe, well and happy.

Lotsa huggs

for me they went through the nipples to put mine in as the heeling is much faster this way. the first 3 days sucked as you have to really get use to things and the pain was so so. it was hard to sit up like normal. muscles you normally use ae not feeling well at this point. but i use the mummy way to sit up, put my arms out and  raised up moaning haha. i had the minor morning boob pain every morning for the first two weeks. but after the first 7 days i really started to feel better day by day. i was even back doind mino work outs at week 4-5.

I have been on hormones for 2 years I'm pretty sure I've gotten what I'm going to get which is like a double A cup LOL! My Dr said if it ain't broke don't fix it If there is nothing wrong with the implant there is no need to replace it. I getting cohesive gel so they can't leak. 

13 years and still going strong!

I ran across a tumblr blog called "perfect boobs" it's actually tastefully done and is a nice collection of all the shapes and sizes you can imagine

  This has always been one of my big goals and I will try my hardest to make it come true when it's time!

Good luck April!!

Hey girl, Congrats!!! as I haven't had augmentation, so far a B cup, organically grown, I have close friends who had. Fact is, lipo seems most painful, then comes Breast augmentation, srs and lastly ffs. However everyone has their own pain threshold. One thing I have klearned from my Vietnamese dentist, lay off a coffee, caffeine lowers pain threshold!!!!!

You haven not had SRS yet. Your body may change way more after, and your breasts may get better (ymmv, however).

thank you for the lovely compliment!

Hi April,

I had BA in Feb 2006 after 8 years of HRT.  I stepped it up from a small A cup to a full C.  Mine are saline filled, under the muscle.  First let me just put it out there.... it hurt like bloody hell!  The way I've described it to others is that it felt as though I got shot in the chest with a cannonball.  The first few days I could barely move.  It was all I could do to get up and pee.  The pain meds are all that held me together for those first few days.  The healing process took some time.  For a few weeks I couldn't lift more than 15 or 20 pounds.  I had a lot of difficulty closing a sliding glass door for a while; something about the muscles involved to pull the door... well, I was very weak for a while.  My car has a hatchback door instead of a regular trunk, and that door takes a bit of effort to pull down to close... I could not close the hatch for what seemed like 3 weeks to a month or more.  Literally, I would be in a parking lot looking around for a stranger to help me close the hatch on my car.  Eventually it got better, I got stronger, I survived.  But OMG did that hurt!

That said, it was SO WORTH IT!  I'm sure that the doctor told you that it will seem like the implants are just under your chin at first.  I was alarmed in those first weeks because my boobs were sitting up so high.  They gradually settled down into perfect alignment.  Honestly, it seemed like it took six months or a year before I felt like they truly settled perfectly.  They were in pretty good position after about 6 weeks, but they very slowly got better and better over about a year.  My boobs did continue to grow over the years; I'm presently at DD, and I'm not heavy or fat (my waist is 26 inches, my boobs are DD... a little bit top heavy, but I get a lot of attention.)

I love my boobs!!!  I'm glad that I didn't go any bigger.  I would totally do it again!  My body is hot.  My boobs are amazing!  My back is totally fine.  (Of course, I do have a desk job, and I sit on a big inflated ball instead of a chair all day everyday; this keeps my back straight and my core muscles strong.  I've been using balance balls in place of desk chairs at work for 11 year now.  Strong core muscles will prevent the kind of back pain that some experience from big boobs.  Just sayin'.)

Best of luck with your surgery.  You are going to love your girls!

Peace,
Miharu

I read this post filled with jelly! You lucky girls (although luck has nothing to do with it and it's more about being brave enough and persistent enough to pursue your dreams, either way I'm soooo jealous)!

thank you all for your replies.

Miharu, thank you for your candid and detailed reply all i can say is OUCH! No pain no gain right?

Me...right now!
