Leo-Boobie Part Deux: You Wear A What?

Sophia Loren and Jayne Mansfield

"People always ask me if they're mine. Yes, they are... all bought and paid for."

~ Dolly Parton.

It's been a year and four months sine I had my B.A-- breast augmentation for those of you who aren't familiar with the shorten phrase.

In my previous post "Leo-Boobie" I go into great detail of my experience, why I did it, what happened, pre-post surgery stuff, etc. I got Mentor Mod Plus Saline Overs 550ccs. Now, since I had overs and didn't go under the muscle, I thought after 6 months they'd fully drop & that's it.

WRONG.

It literally took me a whole year before I saw my final result. I've been through so many bras due to size and shape changes: I was wearing comfortably a 36DD from the first 4- 11 months but the cup size felt way too small afterwards plus a 38DD band was way too wide so I went & got properly measured a second time-- FYI, Victoria Secret's isn't a good place for this. Go to Nordstrom's or Lord N' Taylor... any high end department store for proper measuring.

Also, like most plastic surgeons and fellow augmented ladies will tell you, just wait before shelling out a lot of money on bras. Very true. 

My results? A nice 34G/32H*

*Edit due to typo-- thanks to one of my readers for pointing it out.

You Got The Look.....

Lookism. Along with racism, sexism, etc... another asinine form of ridiculous "ism".

Like most I was taught by my parents that ugly runs deep inside, never judge a book by it's cover. Over the years I've met plenty of what society deems as "beautiful-attractive" but once that person opens their mouth, they suddenly became VERY ugly. I don't judge nor do I choose friends based on looks. Everyone no matter what race, religion, culture or outer-presentation receives respect from me based on personality.

I do understand in some professions, speaking as a former model, lookism comes with the territory. Since we as humans cannot control the thought process of others, hopefully & I won't hold my breath, LOL, individuals stop admiring the gorgeously-wrapped packaging and take the time out to see what's really inside the box.

Besides a pleasant personality can put a sparkle in your eye & a nice wiggle in your strut... Kicks the MAC Cosmetics & killer stilettos up a notch.

Leo-Boobie...

1. When was your B.A?

August 2012.

2. Why?

Since age 17 I've always wanted a B.A due to having small breast for my frame. I'm 5'9" with very long 36" legs, broad shoulders & narrow hips that creates a capital letter "T" appearance, hahaha. I will say there is nothing wrong with smaller breast. Some women have VERY beautiful breast that are not large, just as not all larger breast are beautiful. Had my smaller breast been cute & not deflated/ miscellaneous looking I would have made peace with them & worked around fitting in certain clothing items.

I try to do the best I can when it comes to taking care of myself. I also like many women enjoy feeling good about the way I like to present my body & overall appearance. I have never looked down on those who wear wigs, extensions, makeup 24/7, had cosmetic surgery, etc. Quite a few people have mentioned since I have natural hair & nails why "fake-boobs"... what the hell? I wanted breast! My personal choice!

3. What kind of implants/cc's/incisions do you have?

I have Mentor Moderate-Plus Smooth Round Saline 550cc sub-glandular, periareolar incision.

4. Who was your surgeon?

Dr. David E. Kim of Beverly Hills,CA. He was one of the first doctors during my consult to listen to what I wanted, explain in full detail the possible outcome & is very highly skilled in his field.

There are wonderful doctors all over the world. There are also "quacks" out there too. If considering elective surgery DO YOUR RESEARCH! Make sure the doctor is board certified not only in cosmetic but plastic surgery as well. Also look at his work online, at his office & perhaps talk with a few of his patients. You want someone who also has an eye for detail & as a Woman of Color a surgeon who is qualified in working with ethnic skin to minimize scaring & choose the best incision site.

5. How was your recovery?

My recovery was quite well except for a reaction to my medication. I am allergic to ALL antibiotics & severely anaphylactic to a couple of them. I will break-down & use them IF I really have to and deal with the nasty side effects. This was the only thing that made my recovery difficult.

I was only in pain a few hours after my surgery. My discomfort was mostly due to tightness of my skin. Like other ladies I could not raise my arms above hip level but this got better each day. Sleeping upright on my back at 2 months is becoming somewhat of a nuisance since I have another month to do so. The one other irritant in my recovery was not being able to workout for 4 WEEKS & LIGHT-WEIGHTS ONLY when I was cleared to go back into the gym, UGH!!!! I'm pretty much back to my heavier workouts now, YES!!!! Massaging my breast have become easier since they are softer & not as tight & high as the first week.

6. Are you happy with your results & how do others feel about your B.A?

I'm VERY pleased with my results. This is what I wanted & was the best decision for me. As for others, I cannot live my life doing things to keep other people from complaining. Most of my life lot's of people have always had an improper opinion about me, my body, my preferences... I had to learn very early to ignore it. Those who are happy for me, I appreciate it. At the end of the day I have to be happy with the decisions that I make.

7. Can you still fit in your clothes?

Most of my clothing actually fits better & not loose at the top anymore. Blouses drape better, bikinis & bras fit sooooooooo much better now. I of course had to throw out bras & pack away corsets/bustiers(I collect them) and a few tops that had sculpted cups or firmly constructed had to go.

8. Any tips for anyone considering breast augmentation?

Along with research of doctors, the actual procedure, risk & realistic outcome, make sure this is something YOU truly within YOURSELF want. Not Boyfriend/Husband/Partner, not because your friends have them & most certainly not because you think people will like you more. Some women, including myself loose a few people after a B.A. This surgery isn't for everyone, especially if you have a major pre-existing health problems or autoimmune disorders since it may cause your body to detect a foreign object & become counterproductive. Also choosing a particular size is a personal choice & consider your lifestyle when doing so.

Hey... Go Figure!

Those of you who subscribe to my Youtube channel know that I did an NPC Figure contest April 14, 2012.

I trained for pretty much twelve months. A long damn time considering most Bikini/Figure/Fitness/Physique/Bodybuilding competitors start their road to competition a few months out. I not only took that long due to being VERY naturally thin(75% ectomorph/25% mesomorph) but dealing with the inconveniences of life I've seem to run into since moving to L.A.

By no means was it easy, I'd be lying if I said it was. Although I'm an avid weightlifter & have been for many years, pumping iron to put on MORE muscle and just the change in my workouts along with getting in 6-8 meals everyday was a shock to my system physically, emotionally & mentally. I actually prepared for a IFBB Fitness competition years ago but was halted due to a near death health crisis.

Through bad weather, my Vette transmission replacement, MAJOR stress in my personal life, little to no support, extreme fatigue, sore muscles, two small injuries, firing a trainer, backing out of two contest, getting sick one week out losing LOT'S of body mass, first time competition nervousness & a MAJOR argument over the phone while adjusting my number button right before I got in line to walk out on stage...

That Saturday I didn't care if I won or where I placed because it was a miracle for me just to have my ass in my suit up on that stage!



You know what? After all of that..... I WILL COMPETE AGAIN ;^)
