I am very excited to start this review! Although it is very early and I have to wait four months until the actual surgery date, I look forward to sharing my experience in the hopes that it might be helpful to others who are considering this procedure. I am 25 years old, and my breasts have been a constant source of anxiety and embarrassment for me. I have always felt that if they looked normal, my self-confidence would be greatly improved. I do have what is called tuberous breast deformity, and my particular breast width is quite narrow, only allowing an implant that is about 10 centimeters across to fit me, meaning that I will probably end up with about 175-200cc implants. The doctor will measure and try different sizes during the time of surgery to see what fits best. I have decided to go with moderate plus profile cohesive silicone gel. My breasts will remain quite small but natural and proportional to my body. I am 5'6'' and weigh about 125. I am looking forward to my journey and would appreciate feedback from anyone who has gone through this procedure! :)

I have heard from other women with tuberous breasts that a breast augmentation completely changed their level of self-confidence. They have all been thrilled with their results so I can only imagine how excited you are! I'm happy to hear your doctor is really taking your body measurements into careful consideration. How did you decide upon December for a surgery date? Can't wait to follow your journey!

Hi Beth! Thanks for your comment, I am very excited to begin my journey and share it with everyone. As for my surgery date, I chose December because I am a graduate student and I will be on winter break during that time, so I will have a good chunk of time to heal without having to worry about going to school or doing any work. I am quite nervous but excited at the same time!

What a great idea to give yourself some stress free time to heal during your winter break! Glad to see you're commenting on other member's reviews so they can easily find and support you too throughout your journey. I will start a Breast Aug Forum for December 2014 very soon. In the meantime, feel free to drop in on the current August/September 2014 BA Forum to see how other women are preparing for and recovering from their BAs!

hmmmm...so after reading this I wonder if your dr could do hp with more cc's? Not that you necessarily want more because maybe you don't but I don't know how all that works for sure!! I can't wait to hear how it goes!! Are you going to do any pictures?

Hey Sierra! So yes, one of my options was hp with somewhere around 225 ccs I believe, but I was worried these would look too 'fake', so the 175s he reccommended were the moderate plus profile. Maybe I should just go with the highs?

Also yes, I am going to do pics! I was thinking of posting my befores on the 8th, as that will make 2 months until my surgery date

personally I really like the look of the high profile but I have no fullness on top so for me I'm not adding fullness where I already have it if that makes sense lol...Plus I'm very narrow so I prefer the thought of them projecting more rather than having too much side boob. I guess it all depends on your preferences :) I feel like once the hp drops they don't look fake anymore unless you have a really good push up bra on which to me is ideal because I can play them up or down depending on the look I'm going for! I'm not of a cleavage girl on a regular basis so for the most part I plan on wearing normal bras with no push up!

I'm going this Friday for my first consult and I can't wait to try on sizers!! DId you get to try any on yet?
User Avatar

Hmm maybe I will reconsider the hps. I did try on both the hp and mod plus sizers and felt that the mod plus looked much more natural, but maybe I shouldn't worry so much about looking natural if it means still being small after the surgery!! Let me know how the sizing process goes for you and what you decide on!

I will!! Can't wait

Congratulations on your decision! I got 235cc's and I'm thrilled with my results. I measure a B cup, bit with implants they don't follow the same rules as natural breasts die to their ability to stay high and firm. Take a look at my photos of you want size reference. Xoxo

Ok, so I have decided to update given that my Surgery date is now only about 2 months away, and I am freaking out! I am so worried that 175cc's is too small and that I will be disappointed with the result if I decide to go with them. My pre-oo appointment is one week before the surgery so I am thinking that I will bring up my concerns to the Dr. at that time and hopefully we can discuss my options. The uncertainty is killing me though! I wish I knew and felt confident with my decision regarding size but it's so up in the air right now! All these what ifs about them being too small afterwards are so worrying. I just do not want to feel like I went through all of the pain for nothing!

I decided to post a pic of me wearing the sizing bra with the 175 cc implant in it to see if anyone has opinions about the size. I am still concerned that the 175 cc implant will be too small and I will ultimately be disappointed. I still plan to bring the subject up in my pre-op appointment on Nov. 25. Who knows, though, maybe it could end up being just right. I think I would like to go somewhere around 225 ccs just to be safe. I don't know whether or not this is possible, however, due to the length of my breast which the Dr. measured at being around 10-11 cm. We shall see!

I don't know if you have gotten your surgery yet but all I can say is that go bigger then smaller. I recently got 275cc, i am 5'8", 130 lbs. I wanted a modest implant but enough of an implant to still be curvy and get away with just wearing bralettes or a sports bra. I totally wish now 1 week post op that I had gotten 325cc. You don't want to be disappointed in your investment, in my opinion, the implants look bigger when you play around and put them in your bra (reasoning why I thought 275cc was sufficient) Also if you have tubular breasts, you want their to be enough implant to drop at the lower pole to create that 'teardrop' shape, this is all just my opinion, but I most definitely recommend you go at least 275cc, good luck on your surgery!!
