Hello! I know it's going to be a few months...

Hello!
I know it's going to be a few months before I get my procedure, but I just had to tell SOMEONE! I'm scheduled for the 19th of December, and I can't wait! If it wasn't for classes, I'd move it up to this month in a heartbeat.
I'm a 23 year-old student who has always been moderately flat-chested. I have nice breasts (shape/symmetry etc), but I've always wanted larger. The women in my family are all DD+, and I think the expectation of getting large breasts made me disappointed when I stopped at a B. I'm 5'7, wearing a 30D double push-up (but I wear a 32B unlined bra at home), and I want to be a full D or maybe a DD.
I've had my consultation and have 100% decided I'll be going with smooth, round silicone implants, and I'm waffling between 275 and 300 cc's. I'll post some pics of each when I do my second "rice test" in a few days, and a before photo or two!
So grateful I found this site, reading everyone's reviews has made it so much easier for me to accept doing this and its helped me realize that it's OK to want to change a part of me in this way. I got my ears pierced, right? Implants are just another mod.

Only a few days later, and I'm freaking out about size!
Hello again!
I didn't expect to be back on here until I had my next piece of news for the surgery, but I'm having a worry meltdown!!
I've been struggling with size, as it seems many people do. I really want my chest to look natural, but be fuller. I model, and I already have an extensive portfolio, so I really don't want it to be *bam* in-your-face that I got them done. I've been using every push-up trick in the book for years, so I don't think a bit of an increase will be noticed, but I'd still like to avoid going from moderate (pushed up/padded) breasts to massive. Day-to-day I've been wearing a LaSenza double push-up (same as VS, their baby sister company in Canada) for four years, so I don't think anyone in my immediate circle will really notice, but then again they'll already know.
I've been struggling with the water test. I'm getting Silicone, I know that for sure, and I know I'm going under the muscle. When I do the water test no matter what size I use they look HUGE! I know they won't be that big after I get surgery, but I'm getting really intimidated. I've found that with the water test, 350cc is the max I'd want to go (keeping in mind that it'll be 20% smaller, which I'm ok with), but I want to make sure that I don't end up going too small as well. When I started I was deciding between 275 and 300ccs, and now I'm up to 350 already!
I want to speak with my surgeon about this, but we're 3.5 hours apart (He's in the next province, which can make things difficult as I work full-time). The consultation was fairly short, he explained the risks and my options, took some measurements, and I got a quote. I didn't expect more than that really (that's what all my friends had had for theirs), but after reading everyone's reviews on here, I'm wondering if maybe I was rushed? We didn't look at sizers or anything, but then again my surgery is in December. I'm figuring out when I could go see him in the next few months, because I really want to make sure that I'm getting what I pay for.
Ugh, so frustrating!!

Thank you for starting your journey RealSelf. Glad you have found this site helpful. Sounds like you're going through some of the common phases of surgery...excitement and now a bit of anxiety. :) To get additional feedback from the community, you may want to post your stats, some photos (even with clothing on,) and your wish boob photos. This way other members can give their opinions when they see where you are now and what you're seeking. Keep us posted on your progress!

Hey you commented on my review and I just saw your review. I definitely think you shouldconsider going a little bigger with the 350's. You lose about 50 cc going under thee muscle and since you are taller, the ccs get eaten up I've heard. I'm surprised you didn't try on sizes. You know what I did. I booked another contagion after my surgeon was picked just to get someone else's opinion and try on sizes again. You should call around for surgeons near you and see if they let you try on sizers at a consultation. Even though you already have your surgeon.. Lol

I had a few consultations, but there isn't really too much to choose from here (I'm already driving out of province to go to a reputable surgeon). I'm going to meet with him again to determine sizes, thankfully I misunderstood the receptionist and it turns out we're definitely having another appointment, they just wanted to wait until I had an idea of size before making me drive out to them.
As for the 350ccs, I'm pretty worried that it'll be too big! I already have a handful (haha!) of existing tissue that will add to the size, so I'm only considering 350 because it'll be smaller than the rice test looked! I'm still waffling around on it though, and I hadn't thought about the fact that I'm taller, so I'll really have to think about that/put it on the list I've been writing up or my next appointment!

And another thing. You are paying a lot foryour ssurgery.. I am getting mine done in del Mar (a super high class area) and am charged 6300. My son solution included trying on sizes and all that. I wouldn't like a super rushed consultation. Not sure where you're from. But that just seems on the high end and not getting to try on sizers is weird to me

Yeah, in Atlantic Canada there isn't too much variety (definitely nothing like in the major cities), so the three surgeons that I talked to were all in the same ballpark. I felt most comfortable going with this doc as he does a lot of implant surgeries, and his partner is top of his game in revision surgery (if it needed to come to that). The consultation didn't feel rushed, I just think it could have been more inclusive now that I know what others have been like. I feel a lot better knowing I'll be having a second appointment to go through all the details etc. You've definitely given me some new questions for my list though!

That's good you have another appointment set up. I still think the 350's would be good on you, but its up to you! I have just heard a lot of women get boobie greed ad wish they had gone bigger. It is pretty cool our surgeries are so close together

Back again! Time for some pictures.
Thought I'd post some photos! As you can see in my before picture, I have wide boobs (I can fit a D in cup width), but they have no projection at all (I fill out an A cup). I've posted some wish boobs too! As you can see from the ones I found, I'm not looking for a huge difference, just a lot more volume and more projection. I don't want my nipple placement to change if possible.

I have the exact same size boobs as you do and desire the same results as your "wish boobs." I'm gonna save those pics:) I think they are perfect, not so big that they look unnatural. have my first appointments next month and think I will like 350cc. Looking forward to seeing your results!! Good luck!
September 18, 2013
Thanks!! I was really happy to come across them! I'm taking the pics with me to my next appointment, along with examples of what I'm afraid of. Can't wait to see how your appointment goes!
