I had my BA Nov 12. Lift with silicone under muscle. 450cc. Im 5'4 145lbs. I was a D before just saggy. Still having some pain and on some pain meds but it will be worth it. Just ready to feel normal.

I had my BA on October 11th. I am 5 1/2 weeks post-op. I am 5'1 and 125 lbs. I was "filling" back up what I had lost from having kids and recent weight loss. I was a 34D-DD before surgery depending on the bra. I went with Mentor, smooth, regular profile Saline implants that were 475cc. I bought my first post-op bra and it is a 34DD, no padding and no push up. It's all me! I am very happy.

Had my breast augmentation three weeks ago. Everything is going well. My energy is returning and my surgeon has allowed me to do some cardio and lower body exercises. I went from an A small B to a big C or small D. 420 on one side less on the other side because I had asymmetry. I had silicone unders. I am really starting to like my new boobs:)

That's great that you like them already! I'm trying to decide on 410s or 445s. Having cohesive gel teardrops over, plus a cresent lift. Surgery is in 2 weeks!

I am so glad I did not go smaller. I am 5'3" 107 pounds so they look pretty big but tasteful (my girlfriends say). Good luck with your surgery:) This week Thursday I will be 5 weeks post op and I am now able to do cardio and some light weights and my boobs are feeling more and more natural. I think you will be happy with either decision size wise, but if your surgeon agrees I would go with the larger choice based on my experience.

Got my new boobs last Friday. Still a bit uncomfortable but made it back to the gym to walk today. I am 5'7 and 140lbs. I was a deflated C and got 350cc silicone unders. Hoping to end up with a full D like I was before nursing two babies!

Hey, Snlk, We are a day apart. I got mine last Thursday and went for my 1 week post-op visit today. I can't believe I wrote down all my questions and still forgot to ask him how long I have to wear a bra 24/7. I'm going email his nurse this afternoon and ask her. I did ask and he did say that I could start going through some long, slow stretches but not to overdo it. Have you walked much around the house since surgery? I have walked around once in the yard and once around Target but have taken it pretty easy otherwise. I don't usually walk for exercise. You?

I usually run 3 times a week & lift 3 times so thus sitting around is killing me! I've been walking about an hour a day slowly on the treadmill since 7 days post op. I had a mini tummy tuck done at the same time as my breasts so I'm feeling pretty good all things considered. I'm still wearing a bra & binder 24/7 and I'm sooooooo tired of them!

Hi ladies, I'm new on here and I am planning to have my BA on Nov. 19 and my doctor will be doing saline implants over the muscle with an inframmary incision. At my consultation we discussed doing a full C/ small D. He suggested doing saline has I have a slight difference in size and he felt that I would get my desired look with what he recommended. I saw two other doctors and just did not get the best vibe. I am going with a doctor who has performed BA's on two of my friends and had great results. He knows what he's doing and I trust his judgement! As for my current size I am 5'3 and 115lbs. I am currently an A/ barely B

Why over the muscle? Just curious.

He explained it better to me but from what I gathered I have a slight sag in one of my breasts that he felt he would be able to correct and I also do strength training/bootcamp style classes three times a week which is something I have done for the past year. When I go in for my pre-op I can ask for a more detailed explanation :)

Hello ladies, I am getting a breast augmentation on December 21. I had a reduction last December and they were perfect. I lost 35 lbs and have a flat b cup. I feel so manly now that I have a great body with no boobs. I'm 125 lbs and would like a small d cup.

I am hoping to asap but the price is a little higher than i thought but..... I've wanted this all my life, I wish I could have done it in high school but that was an impossibility with my mom. I intend to tell no one and for once in my life do something for me. I have crohns disease and ulcerative colitis which im hoping wont stop me from doing this but......It has caused many other health problems and I've been sick all my life so i want to try to see the dr this week and if everything is good to go have it done asap, I dont think theres a waiting period unless the Dr. is really booked I deserve this and Im ready to go do it tomorrow. And ladies i have a thought, if anyone would like to donate any bras for after surgery C & D it would be sommething else i wouldnt have to buy and I would GREATLY APPRECIATE IT!!!!

Oh & currently I'm a full 32B. Ideally I'd like to be a small D.

I'm planning to get my surgery on November 2nd. I hope I can do it, since it may be possible that I should travel for my work. It is so difficult to try to plan something like this and having work related obligations. Besides I'm so scared of the pain and possible consequences. But still I had wish for bubs all my life, and thinking about surgery for 15 years now. I'm cup B, not bad, little asymmetry, and would like cup C or small D. My PS said 340 cc. I don't want anything too big, since I have hips and don't want to look too voluminous. Still two weeks to go...maybe. Good luck to all of you that have schedule and are going for it...

Hello Ladies, I am getting my Breast Augmentation on the 25th of October, I am so excited yet so nervous. My height is 1.73cm, weight is 59kgs and I am currently a 34A. I have been so much research its insane, I have pictures of what I want and what I dont want which I will be taking to my Surgeon the day before my OP. I have been wanting to get 375cc silicone under muscle implants. But I am confused on round, teardrop, texured and smooth implants? Any ladies out there with the same measurements that had 375cc done? I am hoping for a full C cup, very small D cup depending on the bra make, I want full look with cleavage but yet I dont want them to be directly on my chest (too full) . I am very nervous as I would rather be too big than too small, as alot of ladies wish they went bigger? Would be great help? Thank you
