I'm scheduled for a BA with BL on June 13,2013. Im starting to get nervous now and cant decide if I should go with the 700 cc or not? Im 5'10" and weigh 165. I'm worried I may look top heavy or that it may make my shoulders appear more broad than they are? Im a 38 saggy deflated barely a 'B' cup now! I"ve had 4 children and breastfed all four also a 100 lb weight loss over 5 years, and my weight has went up and down by 20 lbs but maintained withing 5 lbs for over a year now!

It really seems much more real now after my pre op today! Im really nervous about the implant that was ordered!! Dr.s assistant ordered high profile implants and assured me if i were to get low/moderate i would be unhappy and that i would look more top heavy. After everything Ive researched it says broad chested women should get moderate impants since the diameter is larger and narrow chested women should get high profile implants since the diameter is smaller....???? HELP!! what to do...they already ordered them and im feeling like i need a wider diameter..not to mention i have a gap in between my breasts!!

If you trust the doctor and that is what they suggest then I am sure it will be fine. Fingers crossed! Let us know what you decide.

Preop was today and I didn't see Dr he's in surgery on Thursdays so I seen his assistant. I asked what kind of implants they were going to use and she said HIGH PROFILE!! I just feel like my chest is way too broad for that...she kept telling me I would hate low or moderate style. So I told her I trusted her judgement. Since I keep researching all I see is narrow chested women getting high profile and I'm FAR from narrow chested!! HELP WHAT DO I DO? Surgery is June 13 and she ordered high profile implants. Going for 650/700 cc also a lift. I'm a 38 deflated B cup. Breastfed four babies!

I just recently found this site. I noticed my doctor was on here. I too will be having surgery in June on the 10th. My doctor recommended 650 silicone. My implants were ordered today at my pre op. I'm also confused. I'm hoping they will not look too big. I am a 36D currently. I have 3 children and breast fed all. My oldest is 18 my youngest is 3. I had a tummy tuck 3 years ago and I am still happy with my results. I know I have a great doctor. Along with BA, I'm getting Lipo in between my thighs and under my arms. That I'm completely confident with. I'm just very unsure of the size. I will post pictures tomorrow. Hopefully I can also get some good advice here. This is my first comment. Good luck to you.

650 will probably take you up two sizes bigger depending on your frame. I plant on a tummy tuck after this maybe next year. I'm so confused about high profile implants...that's what the Dr.s assistant ordered at my preop yesterday! I just feel like I'm too broad for those but she said if I went with low or moderate I would look too too heavy? Best wishes to you!(:

A lot of it has to do with how much actual breast tissue vs lose skin you have. My Dr used sizers once I was on the table to find the correct volume and end up using the largest implant in the range of sizes I had approved. It was perfect and if I had gone with less I would have been unhappy. Hopefully you chose a Doctor who has excellent credentials and whose work you admire and trust. If that is the case, and if you have CLEARLY expressed the results you want, I suggest you trust his judgement. Best of luck!

I got 700's 6 weeks ago. Look at my profile and see what you think. We are the same heights and almost the same weight

Congratulations on the weight loss! Good for you! How did you do it and keep it off? Glad to see you are getting some great feedback from the community including some tall women like yourself. Have you shown your PS photos of your desired outcome? Perhaps focus a bit more on this and then the cc's will fall into place. Thank you for sharing on RealSelf!
