320cc Silicone: 4+ Years Post-Op - Folsom, CA

ORIGINAL POST

Hello all, so I have been following this site...

Hello all, so I have been following this site since at least October or November, and absolutely love it! I'm about to graduate college and would love to have the procedure done this summer.

I'm currently:
-21 years old
-5'4''
-105 pounds
-32A (hoping to be a small C)

Because I am only 21 years old, I am legally only able to receive saline implants. However, I think I am much more comfortable with saline for health reasons. Anyways, I just emailed a local PS to set up a consultation to discuss the procedure, implant, etc. I'm thinking that under 300CC would be a good start for me because of my petite frame. I would to hear feedback regarding saline implants, or small frames, or who has had/is considering this procedure, as well as any other helpful feedback from you supportive ladies :)

My only concern is telling my DAD, yikes... Big step. My mom knows and I plan to tell my step mom after my college exams are over next week. Anyways, I'm super excited and can't wait to hopefully get the breasts I've always wanted!

Quick question? How old do you have to be to receive silicon implants?
User Avatar

In the United States, you have to be 22 years old to be an eligible candidate for silicone implants.

Really? I didn't know that. Hmmm and what is the reason do u know?

I wish it wasn't so but... yeah, you have to be 22 years old. Here's the FDA link: http://www.fda.gov/MedicalDevices/ProductsandMedicalProcedures/ImplantsandProsthetics/BreastImplants/ucm063871.htm

I have a small frame as well. 5'5" 112lbs and am getting 265cc, silicone, mod+. The largest my PS said she would go for me is 286cc. I did the rice test at home and tried 300cc. Way too big for me!!!! I feel pretty confident that 265cc will get me to the C cup that I want. Currently a 32A.

Ahh that's a perfect size! I think I'll probably aim for something right around 250-270cc. Keep me updated :)

So day of surgery my PS decided to go with 286cc to compensate for going under the muscle. I'm happy with it so far. I definitely wouldn't want to be any bigger. I'm 1 week post op and a VS 32C bra is a bit too small at the moment I'm hoping that after the swelling goes down and the girls settle that it will fit perfectly!! Congrats on setting the date!

My consultation is next Tuesday, June 18th, and I'm almost positive I'm going with this doctor! :) can't wait to just book the surgery lol.

Anyways, do you girls have any good tips on being discrete with coworkers/friends right after surgery? I don't want to be the center of attention, but I also understand this is a big, physical change!

And one more question: I want to float the river with friends, do you think 3 weeks after surgery will suffice? I don't want to push it too soon, but its also summer time and I want to enjoy it :) thanks ladies! Love all of your support :)

I'm stuck thinking the same with my co-workers because I work at a spa and everyone knows each other pretty well since there are a few of us. I've been wearing my push up bras to help hide lol! Can't wait to see your results. How soon would you do the surgery?!
User Avatar

So today is the first day I'm wearing a push-up bra to work (lol I rarely wear them to work). After surgery I'll probably wear loose shirts until they settle a bit to avoid stares or questions. I don't mind telling the truth if they ask, but I'd rather keep it private :) Anyways, hopefully our plan will work!! And, as soon as possible! The receptionist at the office said my PS does this surgery all the time so there are quite a few openings available. Ideally though, I would love to have it done before July or the first week of July. Hopefully it will be close to your July 1st date :)

I wondered about the swim time as well for the same reason!! We live about 15 minutes from the river and my brother actually has a house on the river so that is a major part of our summer lives!!

Ahh yes exactly!! I'm thinking we will be fine after a few weeks, but you know those sudden adjustments on the tube could cause pain/irritation. I want to be cautious but I also don't want to miss out on floating the river this summer! I'll ask my PS about it next Tuesday and see what he says and let you know, too :)

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! Here is an important list of questions to ask your PS during your consult. Check with your PS about the "river float" day. I would say play it be ear and see you how you feel. Glad you've started the push up bra right now!  ;)  I think you will get just the look you want with saline...I look very similar to your wish photo with 8 year old saline 275 cc's...I think. (It was so long ago!) Let us know how the consult goes!
