My story on my 1st BA((LONG story BUT Might be helpful for newbies))

[Lovely]

Hi,
I didnt have my redo yet but i decided to tell my 1st BA story back in 2007.. Thats okay right?
It might make some of you ladies more aware of things i didnt know prior to my 1st BA.

Basically I was recommended to a PS in San Jose, California. My sister ex-bf's wife and friends went to him and he only charge around 4k. Due to local anesthesia versus general anesthesia which is cheaper. Didnt know a lot of girls that had BA and that was my only reference so i said why not. BIG MISTAKE!
On my 1st consultation the office was not too friendly but not rude. They were vietnamese like myself and vietnamese people that are not born in the states may not have american manners. I can say that due to experience with hair salons and nail shops...=X
But anyways decided to use them.(( KEEP IN MIND THAT I DID NOT FIND OUT ABOUT THIS SITE TIL LATER.. ))
Basically told the anesthesiologist and her aid that i wanted to be a FULL C, Saline, Cease Incision and under the muscle. They said OK! I didnt know about profiles then so I didnt ask. Tried on sizers and originally I liked the size of 550cc. Their sizers were either mods or mod+ (not sure). But I told them that I will make my final decision when I come back and they said OK!
Mistake#1: Did my internet research with girls my stats and most common size that girls got were 400cc-ish. Read that 550cc will give me DD's and etc. Which i did not want then.So I got scared and thought if these girls on here have my simular stats and 400cc was their result to a Full C, then I should be too! But that wasnt the case. (Learn by experience and by girls on here (thank you ladies and to DARE <--she was very helpful) that numbers DONT MEAN A THING)

So went on to my 2nd consultation and told them 400cc was what i wanted and went over everything I wanted and my date was set.

BA date: Everything was typical to everyones experience but I will cut to the chase.
With local anesthesia I woke up and out of my sleep because my arms was getting painful numb due to the position they was place and my BOOTY was getting numb. I cannot sleep on my back for long because my butt gets painful numb so that definitely woke me out of my anesthesia. But i kept going in and out of sleep.
ONE time that woke ME up and told me that they were doing the placement overs instead of unders. Then I was sooo sedated I mumbled something and went back to sleep.
When I woke up I felt very out of it and when I got home I had very minimal pain. When i peek at my girls I saw that they did the incision thru my nipples. I was like WTF?? and they were not that swollen at all. Even thru my whole recovery that weren't swollen. Again I was like WTF??
My post op came along and i found out that they didnt do anything I wanted but the size I requested which was my fault but I wasnt complaining too much because everything was so fresh still.
Almost a year later, I hate my BA. Size is too small. I have ripples, having overs did not help at all), scar is so bad that I need a scar revision on my upcoming BA. Bad Bottoming out on both but more on the RIGHT.OMG ...WHAT HAPPENED??
I never even bothered going to complain to them because I hate them so BAD for the horrible job and that I wouldnt get a redo with then even if it was for FREE!!
Live and learn i keep telling myself so my best advise for you newbies would be:
1.GET EVERYTHING IN WRITING..FROM SIZE, INCISION, PLACEMENT ETC.
2.MEASURE YOURSELF AND DO RESEARCH ON THE IMPLANT MODEL# THAT YOU ARE GETTING SO YOU CAN MATCH UP YOUR STATS WITH THE IMPLANTS.
3.RESEARCH THE SURGEON AND NOT JUST GO BY REFERRALS.
4.DONT TRUST THE NUMBERS, USE SIZERS.
5.AND ASK FOR ADVISE FROM THESE LADIES BECAUSE THEIR OPINION IS AS GOOD AS GOLD..

Thanks for reading..

hey lovely,

i am Vietnamese myself and you REALLY have to be careful with doctors that are from another country and check if they are fully licensed. There are some great doctors but there are lots of horror stories too!!
Also remember, you get what you pay for sometimes and sometimes less expensive can be risky but sometimes there's no point to pay 10k either for a BA.

I did my nose when I was freshly 18 and the dr was Vietnamese (referred by my mom, aunts, and grandmothers) and i LOVE it. but he was very Vietnamese - very little English, doesn't ask you what you want, just kinda goes with what he likes but turns out - he knew what i was looking for and i was in local anesthesia. In & out in 30 mins with just suckin on a piece of hard candy. My nose looks great though!


as for your BA - i'm so glad you told us how it went and i never trusted sizers or the rice bag test to begin with. my PS said thats totally off and not a good way to measure sometimes. (good b/c i did the rice bag test and i looked like dolly parton but with my implants, i look great!) Definitely go with the PS's advice sometimes b/c if they are reputable and good, they *do* know best.

but yes - definitely get everything in writing. to all the ladies - make sure everything is pre-filled out on the form, your size, placement, ccs, incision.

(btw, you dont look viet at all! and i was actually born in san jose. how weird!)
