No not a hairstylist, I just know how to do hair and have done my own since I was 15 or so. I dye and cut it myself. And haha yep I was on the BE board, been a looong time though, and yep I think it died off. HA! I remember the "specialists" or "veterans" on there use to claim that pumps don't work, neither does products, only individual herbal programs work haha. On an individual herbal program I had the worst side effects. And I grew the best with a pump and on commercial products lol.

I can't believe you do your own hair! I wouldn't even want to attempt to do mine! Who knows what I'd end up with! The thing about NBE is that its not a one size fits all kinda thing. I mean look at this board. Herbs work for some, not for others. The same with BO. Some grew with Brava, others said it was a waste. NB seems to be a really good product, but some grow slower than others. Its really all about what works for yourself. I went back and looked at this thread and all your pictures and I'm so amazed at your growth. Are you still considering the fat transfer breast augmentation? And, do you still live in Cuba? My husband is fascinated with Cuba and wants to go there one day on vacation, but I don't think US citizens are allowed to travel there. We both love the salsa music even though neither one of us can dance!

I've been using the breast enlargement without surgery video since Jan 30th, doing 360 inward massage rotations with bio-oil since early feb (only have time to do once a day b/c of work)-just now added in a few drops of GB enhancement blend liquid, and I wear my Brava for 30 minutes to a few hours a day (I can't do their 10 hour regime as I can't sleep on my back and I certainly can't wear it to work) and I've grown an inch in 4 months. I now measure 30 inches under bust, 38 around, and I wear 34C bras which is where I started at. I could probably wear 34D's, but I can't afford any new bras, I've spent too much money trying to enlarge what goes inside them! I'm 5 ft 6 in, weigh about 130, so I would feel the most proportioned at a small 34DD. My grandma was a 34DD so maybe it will be hereditary! I just bought the Extra large NB and want to start using it, but I've had trouble with those pin prick marks. I've been told its over pumping, but it happens when i'm just trying to get the cups to seal up. So, I'm going to try different lotions and padding to see what works. Then I'm gonna tell my husband what I want to do. He doesn't know what I've been up to the past 4 months and even though 1 inch sounds like a lot, I don't really feel like I look that much bigger. But the tape measure doesn't lie!

Anyways, your boobs look awesome and you are so pretty!!

Yes, if PM and NB doesn't get me to where I want to be, then I might still do the transfer augmentation, just wanted to try PM before going the surgical route. No, I've been stateside for a year now. And yes, you are correct civilians cannot go to Cuba, only military and their families can go to the base there, and even then we could not go off base onto the rest of Cuba because Cubans would shoot, it's also why American airplanes cannot fly across Cuba, they have to fly around it, or they will shoot at it. I know whatcha mean, I don't feel like I'm a 34C/32D I look/feel like I'm much smaller, like a 34B maybe, but anything smaller than a 34C and 32D doesn't fit, some 32D's are even too tight, and some 34C's, depends on the brand. As far as doing your own hair... I was apprehensive at first also, but when I was 15 I started dying it after watching my aunt do hair, I figured out how to do it myself. It's too hard to do highlights and lowlights on yourself using foils though, that's the only thing, so if I ever do highlights I use a cap and hook. Then a few years ago I started cutting my own hair, there are TONS of tutorials on youtube about cutting your own hair in whichever style you'd like. I usually do layers with sideswept bangs. The layers are easy peasy, you can either flip your hair upside down and cut them that way (they also make a tool to help with this), or you pull the hair with a comb up and cut straight across whatever length, it will then fall into a layered look. Depending on how high you pull the hair depends on how dramatic the layers go, etc. The bangs are easy but took me a few times to get it mastered, you can use a comb then cut the hair at the angle you want it, I start at the brow then cut angled. Or, you can cut the bangs straight across, then texture them with the scissors, a bit hard to explain how to do that, then when you style you can angle them. But yea, doing hair is easy once you get the hang of it. My hubby cuts his own hair and my sons hair. He's done all types of different cuts, from shaggy to mohawks.

Update: Okay so my BP has been remaining in the normal range :) it sometimes goes 1-3 points over into prehypertension, but no longer am I in the hypertension stage, yay! L-Arginine is my new best friend!

I'm measuring: 37 1/2" bust
29-30 waist
39" hips/butt

So it looks like I'm holding 1-1 1/2 inch full growth as I haven't pumped in a few days when I measured. I was 36 1/2-37 inches before I started up pumping again and using Ainterol.

My new goals: 39-26-39 (maybe 40)

I'm thinking about adding in Maca again, I will also be doing workouts more and focusing on my abs and lower body, I want to keep the size of my butt just be more toned. I wouldn't mind a small increase though as long as I loose some on my waist! But I don't want my butt to go below 39". My goal is to have a WHR (waist to hip ratio) of 0.66 or 0.65 right now my WHR is 0.74

I will eventually take full body before shots, probably in the next few days.

Hi Anastasia!first, id like to say you look absolutely amazing!!! i know you might get the fat grafting to the breast and have went to the consultations with the doc, if you do plan on going through with the sx will you get the brava system? i too am considering this surgery, actually i am almost certain i am getting it. My main choice is also the doc from ciao bella in AZ. I am wondering if noogleberry will stretch your skin enough so they can put in more fat. Please let me know what you think. and if its worth purchasing the brava. thanks! ;)

sasha, Dr Edgardo Zavala-Alarcon is the one you're talking about right? If so, he was the one that told me that you don't NEED a brava system, that the less expensive pumps work just as well, he mention Bosom Beauty I believe and I told him about Noogleberry then showed him the website and the pump to ask if it would be ok. He recommended to use it everyday for 30 min to an hour session for 2 months prior to surgery and to use it after also to help the survival rate of the fat cells that are injected. So no you don't need a Brava system, Noogleberry will work just fine. And right now I'm using NB and taking PM, I'm going to see how I do with it, and if by say 6-8 months I don't see the results I want, then yes I will go ahead with the surgery. Also because of my move, I bought new furniture and a washer & dryer so I want to pay those off before I finance the surgery, which should take me 6-8 months to pay off. But yea, I feel Dr Edgardo Zavala-Alarcon is very knowledgeable in NBE he wasn't shocked that I grew from it like the other Dr's. The other Dr's didn't think it was possible, he knew it was, he believes in natural breast augmentation. Also his prices are more reasonable, and I just feel comforted and at ease with him. So when I get it done, I will more likely use him. I was considering Dr Daniel Shapiro of Scottsdale but, his lack of before and after pics with fat transfer has me on the fence, he has plenty of before and after pics with implants, but haha that's not what I want. But yea, it's between those two Dr's but leaning towards Dr Edgardo Zavala-Alarcon

nikki, oh yea, this forum and breastnexus is FILLED with tons of info besides just NBE ;)

Just a short little update. Not sure how long I've been on PM now, I'm so horrible with keeping track of time while doing a routine haha I just do it without thinking usually. I'm still at 37 1/2 inches on the bust, but I think they are getting firmer. I have been having some slight breast pain and tingles lately, so good signs, same feelings I was having while on BO. Oh and thought I'd share... the other day I was getting dressed for work and hubby said "are your breasts bigger?". So I know it's not just me measuring wrong or that it's in my head! So as soon as I get a chance I will take some pics to show progress and compare them to older progress pics. I just love it when other people notice :p

thats great anastasia!
i was wondering about trying l-arginine as well, but i already have low blood pressure do you think it would be safe for me to try?
 

Anastasia916

someone else over on breastnexus asked me the same thing, I'm not sure, I know it helps with blood circulation, that's why body builders use it before workouts, it's also in male ED drugs, etc. so I'm not entirely sure if it's safe for low blood pressure :/ maybe something you should research first

Okay so I started taking the PM and l-arginine since I'm off my period now. Been taking the PM since Monday and started the l-arginine today. I am taking one ainterol pill per day in the evening with my multi-vitamin and other health supplements I take for BP control and cholesterol. On the bottle of Ainterol it says to take 1 pill per day for 2 weeks then increase to two pills per day, so I'm going with that suggestion. I tried the l-arginine this morning, it says 2 teaspoons of powder is 4.6g so I'm going to start with that per day and see how things pan out. I mixed it in juice as per instructions and it is NOT the best tasting thing in the world, but I started to get use to it half way through my drink. I'm thinking maybe a stronger juice needs to be used like grape juice or something. If that doesn't mask it then I will probably just mix it into my protein drinks. I drink one protein drink per day, I am consuming anywhere between 60-80g of protein per day. Also I am going to go on a new exercise regimen. Going to start working out 5 days a week, I have managed to do 2 days a week but want to increase. I do Zumba, Dance Central on the kinect, and going to start another one, maybe Turbo Fire, Hip Hop Abs, or maybe one of Julian Michaels programs, not sure yet. But yea any suggestions on how to make the drinking of the l-arginine powder more pleasant, I'm all open to suggestions. Oh I'm also using the ainterol cream once per day during my massage and before my NB session. I've had a few tingles the past couple of days so lets hope that's a good sign

Hi Anastasia reading your thread I thought I would make a suggestion, Years ago i was body buidling and used to drink protein drinks and some tasted awfull with water or juice so i used to mix them with milk sometimes better sometimes really not. But added to that i used to put the old nesquik powder mix with milk and protein drink made a world of difference. Im not saying it will help but it may do enjoy xx

rachel, I actually found a great way to make the l-arginine taste fine, I found it on a body building forum. They said to mix it in a glass of grape juice, the juice will turn greenish, then add in pure lemon juice a teaspoon at a time until the grape juice turns back purple then it's safe to drink. Worked like a charm.

Hi Anastasia, I was reading thru the thread. Not sure if you're still thinking about doing the fat transfer breast augmentation (I am) but I was wondering what your thoughts were as of now on Dr. Zavala vs Dr. Shapiro. Is Zavala cheaper? Also, I don't think Shapiro offers the 2nd additional surgery with frozen fat if the patient wants more? Also I think Zavala got VASER now but I am NOT sure.... I am a little confused because I thought in VASER the fat is killed so thats why you can't use the laser with the fat transfer.. because then the fat isn't good anymore.. Shapiro's work looked great but there weren't any breast fat transfer pics :( I am still considering Khouri but have heard a couple negative things and AZ would be better for me since I'm in CA. Anyways hope to hear back from you, you;re the first person I've seen mention these docs...

Khouri is the one in FL right? Yea I know Shapiro doesn't have any online. I called to ask if they could email them to me, they said I would have to come in person and Scottsdale is an hour or more drive from me, so haven't had the time to go. I do know that in order for the Dr to have pics online the patients have to sign off on it, so perhaps his patients didn't want their pics online. I know Zavala had pics he showed me in his office that were not online. Reason why, because the patients have to sign off on if they want their pics shown and how and where they want them shown. So just like on here, some girls are comfortable showing pics of progress, some aren't. I haven't heard that about the vaser, but hmm maybe something to ask the surgeons to see their responses? And that's right, Shapiro won't do the "top-off", when I asked him about it he said that the fat cells die when frozen, that they have to be fresh when transferred. Both Dr's gave me weird answers on certain questions. Shapiro on the top-off and Zavala on doing more than just my mid-section. Basically Shapiro included doing my abdomen, planks, back, and thighs during the lipo, Zavala was only going to do the abs, planks and back. When I asked him if he could do my thighs also at the same time, he told me it's best to only do one area of the body, that you can't do say the whole body in one procedure. Then when I asked Shapiro about this, I didn't name drop just mention another surgeon said he would only do the midsection. He said he's never heard of that, that if a patient wants multiple sections done it's best to do it in the first go. So there are pros and cons to both Dr's but both of them did make me feel comfortable. If you are in CA though I would assume there would be tons of surgeons there right? And I would assume there would be more doing the transfers there than in AZ. I know Colorado had more than here also. I just didn't search for surgeons in CA.

update: No new growth to report yet, still at 37 1/2 on the bust, but I'm also on my cycle and I usually go down at least 1/2 inch while on my cycle. So I'm wondering if they'll change once I'm off of it. I've been going to the gym lately, I'm concentrating on strength training more to get my body more toned, I still do some cardio but mainly as warmup.

Hi Anastasia,

I had the same problem after my most recent period. I was very full and plump, measuring in at almost 39 inches around and was on top of the world. Then my period started Memorial Day weekend and poof, I lost a whole inch and a lot of fullness. I don't know what happened to my nipple/areola region, but now they pucker up like when I'm cold and they look terrible and I look even smaller when that happens. I'm hoping that as the month progresses, things will start to fill out again. I got really discouraged during the weekend and almost thought about quitting, but I've put 4 months and a lot of time and money into this and I'm in it for the long haul. How's the PM working out for you? I think I recall you were going to start taking it, then see what happens and maybe go for the fat transfer augmentation.

Everybody MIA for a couple of days. Ugh I hate that. Especially when one of my mentors just doesn't have anything to update or post.
