Hi everyone :) I've just joined after cruising...

Hi everyone :)
I've just joined after cruising around this site for a while. I live in Queensland Australia. Mummy to 3 kids and I've finally made the decision to look at a BA. I never had boobies when young, they always seemed a wonder to me, then when I had my kids and was feeding I had big D's!

Now after all the babies are grown I'd love to get some shape back. I went to see a great doctor yesterday and luckily I don't need a lift, I'm just a 12B not too much sag. I'd love a full D or DD and doc measured my BW around 13.5. I'm not keen for the bolt on look and really want my boobs close together.

He has suggested Moderate Plus, sil unders around 450-500 to get the look I showed him. He said the wider and bigger implants will give me the claevage and natural look I'm after.I'm going crazy looking at all the various pics. Anyone out there with similar size I can compare? I'm athletic, 5ft 8. When I tried on the implants under the crop top, I guess I was looking more towards the 500 as being wide the smaller ones seemed to look a bit lost on me.

Any suggestions, plus they do look a bit smaller under don't they? Would love some advice. I'm seeing another doc in 2 weeks, so it will be good to compare. Hoping to have boobies by June! Would love any feedback girls, I'm excited and scared xoxo

Thank you for joining RealSelf! We want to support you during your cruising around the site! So very happy to hear you are doing more than one consult....good for you! At your next consult, bring a few of your favorite tops and take photos with the sizers. This way we can provide you better feedback. It's also a great idea to bring in your own photos of breasts you like and even don't like. Looking forward to your updates!

Definitely recommend going up you won't regret it and noticed we're the same height. I started off being an A cup thought after surgery when he filled them up to 480 they were going to be to big but actually their not wish I would have went a lil bigger so I think from your stats go with 500 :) wish you the best of luck and ill update n add couple more pics :)

I say tell your ps what u want to achieve and then ask him what he suggest. Mine ps was right on they r perfect for my body love the high profile.

After having my BA and keeping your story in mind I think you would definitely be happy going with the 500 mod plus or even 550! I got 550 and mine are hp,which means theystick out more.I am an inch taller and I assume narrower through the chest.My 550s fit my body perfectly without being too big.When i put clothes on they are actually very modest.I am wearing a small d now.i went upn1 cup size from my previous 360cc salines

Thanks for that! I'm seeing another doc on Wed, so I'm looking forward to seeing what he thinks. I think I will stay on the bigger side so I won't be upset!

Ok...I"m doing it!!! I saw the second doc today. He was lovely, but my gut instinct instinct is telling me the first one...so I rang up and booked in for 24th May!! OMG I'm actually doing it!! I need loads of assistance and reassurance girls to get my size right. New doc measured me at 13.9..so even wider than the first. I tried on a few different sizes today. Unfortunately they didn't have any Mentor implants to try, so they put in comparative Allergan Natrelle implants. Any comments on these? The 485 mods, were about the same proportions as the 500 mod pus in Mentor and they looked good. The 450s also looked good, but I'm thinking I should go with the bigger as I'm going to lose a bit of size and look more like the 450s in the end?? I was amazed at the difference of 50cc...I didn't think it would be so different? I was silly, I should have taken some pics to show everyone. Might take some with my rice bags in!!!

Really excited for you, my date is set for May 21st! I am guessing that we are both experiencing similar nervous feelings right now:) Good Luck and keep us posted!!
May 2, 2013
wow, close for you too. Have you chosen your size yet? Still a bit nervous as I just read another bad post about having to have implants removed due to illness. I does scare me. I'm thinking of the Mentor brand because of the 'supposed' lower failure rates.

I know I will be going for the Mentor mod+ but as for size I think I am going to leave it up to my PS. I think I will be around the 350cc range but after viewing so many different body types and implant sizes I think I will feel better allowing him to determine the size based off the look I am going for.

hey hun, your taller then me an I got 475ccs and mine didn't come out so big... I think the bigger the better cuz majority of the women post op get boobie greed like me and end up going larger anyways haha good luck!!

thanks so much for your help x

I'm 5'9 weight in about 135-140 I was a full C when nursing. When I wasn't I was a small A. I picked 750cc My doc suggested 600. But I was not going that small. I felt bigger matched my body a lot better. & I was right. I have wide hips due to birthing 4 kids. So now my body evens out from top to middle :) Your pics. I saw, u could go bigger... Don't be afraid :) It will be worth it.

The rice test is great! You can try on your clothes and see what you like. Remember its not gonna look like that as the rice is hard to shape into what an implant will be like. I'm going with 425-450 but I only measure 12 so I don't have any options on profile besides HP. Now that I am a little over 24hrs out from my surgery the 450 # is starting to freak me out. You can also look on the mentor or natrelle a website for the projection and specifics and how the 2 brands compare in diameter, and projection to each cc. Good luck. Keep us posted!!!

I have Doc appointment tomorrow to choose the size!! Yikes! I'm bringing the dear husband so he can see me and give me his honest opinion.I just don't want to wake up in hospital and have him say..JESUS...they're massive you didnt tell me they were this big!! Only joking!! ...He's very good at being honest, and I'm sure we will come to a great agreement. He says go with what I want and he'll grow to love them ..( he's not much of a fake boobie guy)...but I'm sure when they're put in front of his face he won't mind LOL! Still nervous though! Just need to talk to the doc in regards to the slight size difference I have. Its barely noticeable ( only around 40cc) according to docs notes. I have the option of putting in a different sized implant on one side, but I've seen so many instances where it then goes the opposite way and looks even worse! To complicate things, in Australia Mentor only does its textured memeory gel mod+ in 50cc differences. That would then mean 450/500, or 500/550 and not too sure about that! Thinking I might just stick with 2 500s and have a slight diiference. I guess when I talk to Doc tom he will guide me. Any thoughts on this girls???

Take pictures so you can look back. My husband actually, with out my knowing, took pics while I had sizers on and I was talking to the nurse and dr. So I got to see what it was like "not posing" and I got a better sense of what it really looked like. I was so glad he did that cause I was my relaxed self just talking. And it's something you can look back at to reference. I went 425 and couldn't be happier. Granted my dr didn't recommend any larger like I wanted 450 and I'm glad I trusted his judgement cause mine are very comfortable and I think they fit me well. The sizing is the most stressful part. People always say to go bigger but honestly I'm so happy where I ended up. Best of luck. Take pics for you, keep us posted!!!

Thanks so much for your help! Your pics look amazing, I'll be so happy if I look anything like you girl! I saw your before shot and I think you had a bit more boob in your bikini than I do, so I'm thinking that the 500cc ( just mod plus) will get me close to your look I hope!!!!

My bikini was a small. I don't fit into it anymore that's for sure. I didn't need a lift but I basically just sat in my bras and didn't need any support and didn't fill them. It all just was sad :( I was uneven as you have said you are. I talked to my dr about different sizes in each side and he didn't recommend that for me. He said I may notice a bit of unevenness when it was done but it would be minimal and he sure was right. I tried on a danskin front closure sports support bra and I fit a 36d nicely. So I think once more settles I will be a good D size which now that its on me doesn't seem that big at all. I'm really surprised cause I only had a few days of riding high up by my collar bone and that was from swelling. I really got lucky w an awesome PS. Get ice packs and lots of them :) they will be your best friend :) I'm so excited for you, I can't wait to hear how tomorrow goes
