I'm taking the plunge! My surgery is scheduled...

I'm taking the plunge! My surgery is scheduled for August 27th. I have been wanting to do this for my entire adult life. I've always been a small 34A at 5'6" weighing about 125. It's never been a good time. I wanted to wait until after we had children and now after breastfeeding my three girls for a year each (oldest is 5 now and our twins are 2) it's my time! I went to three consultations and settled on Dr. Ankit Desai. I'm planning on getting 350 cc silicone under the muscle. I want a really natural look and am terrified of getting them too big. I am having some serious anxiety over choosing the size. I'm looking for a full B or small C I think. EEEK!

All I keep thinking about is if 350cc is going to be too big. I really want to look natural. In fact, I would be thrilled if most people didn't even know I got this done! My ps said that you lose about 50cc going under the muscle so I keep walking around with rice sizers on equaling about 300cc. I don't want the mistake of going too big and of course don't want any regrets either about going too small. I'm wondering if 300cc would look better on me.

Back to sizers...

I've been a nervous wreck about choosing a size. I really don't want to go too big. I'm even losing sleep over this. I've become obsessed with searching for before and after picture of women with similar stats. I almost asked a random woman on the street what size bra she wore! Thank goodness my common sense intervened. I emailed the lovely coordinator at my doctor's office and she happily is fitting me for another chance to try on sizers. We're going to do this at my pre-op appointment on the 22nd. I think I just need to relax until then! I feel like this decision has taken over my life. Anyone else have this much anxiety over sizes?

Beat of luck to you!! Pick what u feels looks better in your ! I would say if your having doubts go with the larger size. They say u lose about 50cc going under the muscle !! Hope your month goes by quickly :)

Thanks! I've stopped stressing about it...at least until my pre-op on the 22nd :) My PS said the same thing...whatever I decide, go up 50.

Up until a coupe days ago I felt exactly how you did. I was obsessive about cc's. I'd google everything under the sun about the implants I'm getting and women like me...it was ridiculous. I added an update to my review about how freaked out I was getting and I got great advice. I went shopping that day, bought some bralettes for post op, and a new outfit at Victoria's Secret for surgery day. That lifted my spirits. When I got home that night something clicked. I know that no matter what I will amazing! It will be an improvement no matter what size I get. At the end of the day one size up or down is not a big deal. It clicked that it'll be okay. After that I went back to being excited with only a little nerves. Good idea trying on sizers again (I will too, at my pre op). Something that helps me to pass the time- I keep busy. I've been taking the kids to new places, throwing myself into my small business, reading way more (which I didn't think was possible since I'm a bookworm) and watching movies. It really helps the day go by. Take a deep breath and say to yourself, "I'm gonna look hot!" Because you will!

I can't tell you how much this comment meant to me...and it came at the perfect time! I've been so wrapped up in numbers and lost track of the look I wanted. I found some great wish boob pictures and I'm going to take them to my next appointment. Thanks for your insight!!! And you're right, I'm going to look hot :)

Go with the bigger size. Trust me, you won't regret it. I am 5'7 and weigh about 140. My BWD is 11.5. I was beyond flat before surgery. I went with 425, under, high profiles, silicone. I lost about 35 cc's going under. I am 3 months post and I'm a small C. I didn't tell anyone and no one has noticed anything. If I had it to do over, I would have gone 475 or maybe even 500 to get the full C. Don't let high numbers scare you. When you go to your next appt. forget about number of cc's and cup sizes. Take wish pics with you and say "This is what I want. What will it take to get me there." Then trust what your PS tells you. I so wish someone had told me to do this. I regret not going bigger just because the thought of 500'cc scared me. I was looking at a number. Please, don't make the same mistake.

I really appreciate your input. I will DEFINITELY keep that in mind when I go for my pre-op/sizing appointment. I have been so wrapped up on numbers and size. To be honest, I don't even think I know what a 34C looks like! I've always been a 34A...maybe close to a C when nursing but that time was a blur and recovering from twins wasn't a time I was feeling sexy. I found a few pictures the last few days of what I want and I'm going to take those to my appointment. Like you said, the number scares me but it really means nothing to me! I'll just focus on the picture. Thanks for your input.

Oh honey that was me to a tee!. I was so wrapped up in the numbers, I didn't stop to think. Every manufacturer is different, so just like different jeans fit differently, so do different bras. Kind of makes cup size irrelevant when it comes to choosing an implant size. Got to go with what look you want, that should determine your size.

And for the record, I think you look awesome! I read your review a while ago and loved hearing your story. You look fantastic.

Hey girl. I just wanted to complain to a fellow surgery date lady. lol How slow is time going?! I'm going crazy over here! How have you been doing?
August 11, 2014
Oh my goodness, I KNOW! You would think my little ones kept me busy enough but the time is going by so slowly! We're down to two and a half weeks until the big day! Do you have anything special going on between now and our big day?

I have a couple fun things planned with the kids: parties at our local library, a field day at our local park. I have a couple things coming up for my son's school, he is going to pre K. I was planning on painting my kitchen (we moved in March so we are slowly making it our own) so I may throw that in there too. I wish I had a vacation planned or something to take up a big chunk of time! What about you?
August 7, 2014
I completely hear you on being stressed about the size. I'm having 400cc's and I am very worried they'll be too big. I even did the rice test which further made me feel like I was going to look ridiculous with that size. When you go back for your pre-op, he will sit down with you again and review the size. In the end, the size I started with is still what we're going with, but still, I'm worried I'm going to end up with them being way too large! Despite my indecisiveness, I figure he has done this hundreds of times, so I'll trust that I will end up with the look I'm going for in the end. :)

That's great advice. The sizers are just so weird since I've never had anything bigger than a 34b. I've always been flat but when I was breastfeeding my twins I was a b...isn't that sad?! So the sizers (in the office and the rice ones) made me feel ridiculous! I'm going to take a few pictures of my wish boobs in with my for my pre-op and hope they guide my PS and myself with the choice. You're right, I chose him for a reason and I need to trust him.
