After breast feeding my son (which I don't regret breast feeding) I was very disappointed in how my breast looked. He is now 8 yrs old and I am still not comfortable with how my breast look. Especially naked. With clothes I don't look that bad because I'm not flat. I wear a 34B. But they are pretty saggy. So I have scheduled my preop for Nov. 20th. And surgery for Dec. 5th. Yes I am very scared but more so of the outcome. My biggest fear is being too big. I have specifically told my PS that I want to be a 34 C. Honestly all I really want is to have full and perky boobs. Not big necessarily. So on my consult Dr. suggested between 325-350cc. But when I see other women with 350cc they usually turn out with DD which I don't want. I'm freaken out about the size so bad!!

Don't be scared, absolutely not scary at all. My Dr. told me which ever size I like to go up one size larger bc of the swelling and they will end up smaller afterwards which may cause you to want to go larger again. I had my two wk post op yesterday and I asked if my swelling was down going down bc I'm happy with my size and he reassured me that it will still go down a little more. I hope not too much more bc I am happy with my results. Good luck to you, and might I add I say you bigger, but not too big which end up with back pain, lol I was a 36c and now am a 36 d to dd depending on the swelling.

Thanks for your positive words. I think if he goes with 350cc I'll be ok with that. No bigger. :-)

I am 5'6'' 130 pound and very small 34 B some A's fit much better but u refused to buy A's haha. I am 8 days post op. I wanted all the same things you did and so I picked 250cc but knowing that my husband would like a little bigger I began to worry just like you about size. We went in and I put the different size implants in my bras. I brought a regular bra and a sports bra and it was very enlightening. I ended up choosing 300cc. I am SOO happy. But they are much bigger. However I wore padded bras before and now I don't and no one has noticed anything! Which I LOVE. :-) ok so I went to aerie and bought a couple bras. At aerie I'm a 34 D and at VS they put me in a 32 DD. I can't believe that I am able to hide them under clothes. I expected them to say I was a big C. But anyway 300cc took me from small B or A to D. I hope that helps

Thanks so much for your input. It really helps. :-). Do you have Saline or Silicone?
November 7, 2013
Silicone. I don't feel swollen but after I wrote my response I started wondering if my size will go down any. I'll let you know how it changes between now and your appt

I have the same concerns and reasons for wanting the surgery. I am a B but pretty saggy so I hate the way I look naked. Other's don't see what I see because I use push up & padded bras so they have a hard time understanding why I want this. My fear is that they will be too big and I just want to really get the fullness back that I have lost and be back to what I used to be BC (before children) which was a very full C. I haven't picked a size yet (my pre op is next week) But I see alot of comments on here that woman say go on the bigger side if you're unsure. Right now I am leaning towards 350cc Moderate Plus Silicone, so I am curious to see if that is the same recommendation my PS will have. Make sure you have "wish boob" pics to show your PS so he is clear on what you want, that will help.

Wow, your stats are so similar to mine! Looks like you have done a lot of research on this just like I have. Lol. My other concern is going with Saline. A few of my friends have Saline and they look great and feel fine. I know Silicone feels better but at this age in my life I'm mostly concerned about how I look. My husband knows they are implants and will not feel like real boobs. Which secretly I know he likes the fake look, but I dont. Lol. I would love Silicone but I'm just too afraid of knowing I have it inside my body and that it could rupture. Im just a worrier. Anyway PS says I have enough breast tissue where I should not have any problems with rippling. Cant wait to see your pics. ;-)
November 7, 2013
I was concerned with the rippling on the side that sometimes appears with Saline but liked that fact that if it ruptures you know right away and the saline absorbs into your body. It can all be quite overwhelming when deciding :) After I had my consults I decided on Silicone because I liked the shape and feel of them better. I did the research on what happens if they tear and found that the leakage is alot less now that they have the cohesive gel in the silicone implants and that the outer shell is the same as in the saline so they last just as long. I'm worried about the rippling because I have kind of borderline amount of breast tissue to cover the rippling and my boyfriend has the same concerns so I decided Silicone and definetely plan on doing the MRI's to be sure everything is still good :) I'm going to get my pics up today...I have put it off because I hate the way I look naked and then to actually post them for all to see....Yikes! LOL.

did you have the surgery yet? why don't you go with the newest implant, gummy bear? since you are not revision so I think I would be a great choice, and it will give you more natural look
November 7, 2013
My Dr. says that the Saline and Silicone end up looking exactly the same. You would only tell if felt. Im happily married and my husband doesnt mind if they dont feel like real boobs. Its more about peace of mind I guess. And I get to save about 1k. :-)

I just noticed rippling in my boobs. On the sides where my erma are. But it is only there when I bend over 90 degrees and I had very little breast tissue. I do have silicone though. But honestly its a minor thing and I would rather have boobies with a tiny bit of rippling than no boobies at all ;)

Sizers
Here are pictures of me at the Dr. office with 300cc implants. What do you guys think? Then I went home and made some rice sizer of 300cc and took some pictures as well. So I guess my PS is right on the money when he says that he will be using anywhere between 320-350cc since he'll be going under the muscle. ;-)
