Confirmed Decision
Today my decision to have BA surgery was completely encouraged by the short comings of my bra. It is so annoying that I am constantly adjusting myself after every move I make. Bras are uncomfortable enough and when I do not have anything to go in them... You get what I mean. Some days I wear padding while, others a plain old sports bra. Regardless, the annoyance of the constant game of tug of war has gone on long enough. The battle will finally be won and I will be able to wear; halter tops, strapless tops, pad-less bras, and any bathing suit I wish! Wow! How amazing is that going to be? I am really looking forward to this, only three more days! =)

do you think that people who saw you before with padding will not realize that you had BA done? I dont want to deal with all the questions and maybe think since like you Im going from a B to C that it will look a more natural version of paddings
I think that people that know me will definitely notice a difference, since I will be increasing from a size A cup to a C cup. People will ask questions, but I think a person has to be pretty BOLD to ask such personal questions. We never have to explain or confirm our decisions to anyone, unless we feel comfortable enough to do so. People are just people and "those that mind, don't matter and those that matter most, won't mind!" Don't worry =)Just be happy for such a great experience!
I recently had BA surgery after many years of indecison. I wish I had done it sooner. My biggest fear was people noticing. I feared they would not be supportive and possibly be cruel. (My biggest concern being my coworkers) Well I adjusted my work clothing style and back to work I went. I had worn lightly lined bras but never padded so I was really concerned about the difference.I noted peoples eyes at my chest but no staring or negativity. After a couple of weeks I decided I do not really care what they think. I look better. Two friends gave me advice regarding my concern. One said if anyone you do not want to know says anything say " I was tired of being small and I bought myself a gel bra. My clothes fit so much better now." Another friend said "keep wearing the loose work clothes for now. Winter will come and you will be covered more. By spring you can wear what you want and it will be old news by then.( if anyone had noticed in the first place)" I am so much happier that no one could rain on my parade......PS I went from a small B to a full C
Amen to getting rid of uncomfortable bras!! I, like you, am SO sick of every bra (padded & not) shifting, sliding (up usually!) and having to pull and adjust them all the time - ugh. I have been wearing padded bras for so long (ever since I stopped breastfeeding), and I'm really looking forward to not having to!
My procedure is scheduled for this Fri (8/25) and I'm so excited! I'm very petite and an A/small B and want to go to a full C/small D but we'll see what my PS does. He won't go for anyone asking for any particular cup size or cc amount - he will do what he can to make them as large as possible while maintaining the natural aesthetics. I guess that's all one can ask.
And AMEN to the comment that "whoever minds, doesn't matter"! Someone suggested to me that whenever anyone asks intrusive or rude personal questions, respond simply with, "Why do you want to know?" or "Why do you ask?" which usually derails them.
Sometimes, when I'm feeling particularly wicked, I respond with a similarly intrusive question of my own that I KNOW they don't want asked and certainly don't want to answer.
Sabrina, thanks for your blog and sharing your story. Girls, if you want to and can - go for it! So many say their only regret is not doing it sooner... at 33 I'm not waiting any longer - this is my birthday present to myself (and my husband, wink)!
I work as a nanny and I have not brought up the subject with my employers yet. I'll be taking holiday so when they come back I'm sure they will notice. And I'll tell them if they ask. Right now I don't think I need to tell them.
I'm nervous of any attention because I want to look good for myself not some random loser on the street.
My friends all know I'm getting them. I don't care I'm not embarrassed. Some of the girls I know are like "don't do it". And the rest of them are like go for it.
Some people don't have tact though and those are the ones to be concerned about.
I am a 49 year old medical professional about to get an augmentation. I've wanted one since I was 16 and realized I wasn't going to grow any bigger than an AA cup. For whatever reason, I never felt like I "should do something unnatural' to fix it. But now I have decided to go for it. My biggest concern is what others will say. I'm seen by numerous patients every day. Sabrina, tell me more about how you handled comments from others, especially folks who aren't your friends??
Hey Sabrina, I am researching BA like a crazy woman. My biggest issue, no punn intended..lol, is how many cc's. For a few years I wore a 36B and for that last year or 2 have notice my breast getting smaller. My obsessiveness has drove me to re-measure myself and have disappointedly discovered that I am now a 34A, I too love to work out but lost my routine since I have gotten married and now have, (automatically) 2 preteens. I guess it was all muscle in my case and I LOST IT. Anyway, I have been trying to figure out what cc's I should lean towards, I've gone to 2 consultations and will be going to my 3rd in Nov., and I am just so curious what everyone else has...even though I know everyone is different, I just gotta know.
So, I decided to start reading blogs, and I came to yours, haven't read everything yet but I'll get to the rest later.
I looked at your before/after pics and your bust looked just like mine...I am 5' 1.5", 111 lbs. and been trying to find pics of women that look pretty close to me to compare, and you're it. I am wondering if you ever found out how many cc's you got. I just want to fill out clothes and bras w/o the padding but I also want it to be noticeable, but not look like a porn start...no offence to those that ARE.
Help me out!!!!!
Desperately seeking CC'S
