So I'll start off by saying i'm 5'4 and 110 pounds...

So I'll start off by saying i'm 5'4 and 110 pounds. My doctor is going to have 325cc, 350cc, and 375cc both high profile and mod profile plus waiting for me on the day of my surgery and I will make the final sizer decision minutes before they become part of me:)

I started thinking about getting boobs about a year ago and since then have been obsessing over pictures of boobs. I always loved my boobs I just want them to be bigger. I am between a big A cup and a small B cup. I hope that the size i chose will put me at a C cup :) Any feedback on size would help alot!!

I want a natural look so i was set on going with mod plus profile but now, days away from the surgery i'm scared that they wont give me the look i want. I don't want them to be too far apart. My rip cage is also only 26 so i don't even have much room on there. I was thinking if I placed HP under the muscle they will be more suitable to my small frame and still not project like rockets. I dont really like top boob, I want most of my fullness to be in the bottom:) Unless I decide to wear a bra and throw em up!! lol

So any help from you girls would be so much appreciated. Im truly freaking out and I hope i made a good decision and I hope that everything goes well in the operating room!!

5 more days. i'm going to start cleaning everything today :) and get ready for my boyfriends birthday :) He is the best:) and has been so supportive through what has already been an emotional roller coaster .

Does anyone know if you can drink 4 days up to your surgery? I usually dont drink but might since its his birthday ... HELP!!!

Ok so tomorrow is actually the big day!! I can't...

Ok so tomorrow is actually the big day!! I can't believe it we are driving there right now . I'm so excited and nervous... I can't say I'm 100 percent but I'm biting this bullet and going through with it!!! Wish me luck see u girlies tomorrow!!!

So today is post op day three. My boobs feel...

So today is post op day three. My boobs feel really tight and high right now! I have just been wearing a tight lululemon tank top because the doctor said that was okay. He advised me to wait 5 days before massaging, and two weeks before i wear the dreaded strap!! Actually I cant wait to wear the strap because that means i will be two weeks post op!! I am not really in any pain except for the little bit of pressure i feel. I have not taken any pain meds except ibuprofen to help with the swelling since day 1! I am kindof nervous at this stage because i feel like maybe i didnt get enough info from my doctor on what to do during healing. Maybe im just freaking out for nothing, and really all you can do is wait!! I think I will attempt to have a shower today. Also, we are going to take a trip out of town to get me a new bra, only about 45 minute drive? Do you girls think thats okay? Please any info on how you girls felt at day 3 would help me so much!! thank u oxoxo Happy healing

So its almost 2 weeks post op. I feel great! I...

So its almost 2 weeks post op. I feel great! I have mostly all of my movement back and i feel like i could start working out. I did squats for ten minutes today which felt like an hour long workout since i havn't been to the gym in two weeks. I was thinking of trying some situps tomorrow, but i'm not sure. Does anyone know if that would be ok?
I have been wearing my ban-dow (is that how it's spelled?) ever since around day 3. It was getting really uncomfortable and itchy but I showered and it felt much better. My doctor told me not to wear the strap until day 14 but i started periodically throwing it on by day 7. My boobs have dropped quite a bit, but still look like kidney beans. haha!! they are almost bigger at the top, its kind of scary but im reasured that once the implants drop into the pocket behind my original breast, my new boobs will be fluffy and perfectly round!! To be honest girls some days I do wish i went bigger. I got 325 cc under muscle. I'm small and I wanted really natural but now that i have them I almost want them to be more noticeable! I'm considering maybe getting a 400cc implant switched for the implants i have now in 6 months. The doctor told me to wait. Of course im going to wait, and I truly love what i have. I wanted to be natural, but for some reason i thought it would be much bigger! We will see how everything goes and I will keep all of you ladies posted! I truly think that this was such a wonderful decision, and before the augmentation I must have looked super hippie (bottom heavy) just because i was so small up top! I love having them, it just makes me feel a bit more powerful:) Good luck and message me with any questions:)

Hey girls almost five weeks post op. Im feeling...

Hey girls
almost five weeks post op. Im feeling really great for pain. I can sleep on my sides and I have been working out. stairmaster, walking on treadmill with incline, bicycle, leg machines, and some sittups and lower back! Everything feels fine :) They havnt dropped very much which is frusterating! not really I know it just takes time but kindof frusterating, i thought they would be much better looking at this point. They feel awesome though!! when did you girls start wearing bras? do you find massage helps? i try to massage twice a day but its hard with my schedual! I have also been using bio oil and holy shit ladies it works so well!! i put it on three times a day and the scars are lightning already and i think its been a week

Also wanted to say that my right breast is...

also wanted to say that my right breast is dropping faster than my left breast. I have been wearing my strap for 12 hours everyday!! Does anyone know why mine are not dropping?
Great review?

My lefty is having a hard time dropping too ill post a recent pic today! I'm 5 weeks PO and I'm stressing about it too. Your breat look very nice and I have my fingers crossed we both drop soon :-)
indianlily 4 Apr 2013
Thanks for the compliment, yours do too:) I think we need to stop stressing, our boobies will drop at there own pace. 3-6 months he said until they drop completely. The waiting game begins! but lets be patient because we need to love our bodies! good luck girl! Happy healing

does anyone know why mine are not dropping!! its 5 weeks on tuesday'?!

If you don't mind me asking, what size bra did you start with and after having the BA done, what size as you now?
indianlily 12 Mar 2013
I was an Acup or a small B. It is so hard to judge size because bra companies do not stick to standard sizing across the board. i'm hoping to be a big C. I don't know what i will be right now because i am still in the bandow stage and cant wear underwire for another 3 weeks! when I find out I will let you know :)
ekaterina777 12 Mar 2013
I also was A cup, went with 335 cc, hoping for C cup. I am too two weeks post op and I think they became smaller than it was early on. Guess having boob greed. Do you feel they got smaller too?
Tabby boo 10 Mar 2013
They look really natural! What size cc did you end up getting?! I'm starting from a small b and am thinking a 350-375cc can't decide between the 2
indianlily 10 Mar 2013
Go with 400cc because u lose about 30cc when u gp under the muscle. And both of Jose sizes are hardly noticeable! Keep in mind that if u choose moderate plus u won't be able to go as big since they are a wider implant. Depending on the diameter of your rib cage you will probably have to use high profile! I did 325cc and my rib cage is 26" . I love mine but do feel like I could have went 400cc. I was so scared of being too big but I do think mine are more versatile and natural and that's exactly what I wanted!!!

You look great and I'm getting the same size as you. My surgery is in 3 days and not sure if I should do mod or high. Are you feeling more like yourself and can you feel them in you?
indianlily 11 Mar 2013
you know what? I dont even really notice them! it's weird and maybe thats why i feel like they are small. I got used to them really fast which is great! im so happy! i went with mod plus because i like the side boob look. Good luck with your surgery and make sure you post pictures
Pinkice1313 11 Mar 2013
Thank you :)

Realize that 75cc is LESS than 1/3 of a cup of fluid, 75cc is LESS than 2.5 fluid oz. You honestly can't see that much difference in size at 75cc and it would be a very subtle change at best. Take your surgeon's advice and get used to them for a few months - is it worth several thousand dollars and repeat surgery and breast trauma for that small of a volume increase? You are probably just having post-surgery 'boob greed' and if you give yourself some time it will pass. Also, if you really considered it thoroughly before surgery and wanted to look 'natural' that is probably what you really want. I suppose people all define 'natural looking' differently, but if you compare your current post-implant breasts to actual natural breasts (for instance pre-op pics of others who are going to get implants, or post-explant pictures of those who removed implants... Or even pre-op pics of naturally large busted women who are going to get reductions!) you are already a statistical outlier in terms of size and shape of your current implanted breasts relative to your body. If you want a 'believably natural' look, going larger will move you further away from believability. Some women want a 'fake' breast look and size when they get implants, but if you thought you wanted to look 'natural' put a lot of thought and time into it before you make a sudden size revision upward.
indianlily 10 Mar 2013
Yes you are probably right!!!
LuvRealBoobsInOR 11 Mar 2013
You look really good by the way.
evac 10 Mar 2013
its encouraging to hear your doing so well! keep the updates coming please : ) I'm guessing you started out in a healthy place and i probably helps with the recovery, it always does.

Thanks for the update! How did the drive go? Were you able to get a new bra and what type of bra did you get?  Hope you are feeling good today!

On the day after my surgery, I was a passanger in the car for 5hours! On Post op day 8....I drove 6 hours total (to and from my post op appointment by myself). It can be done but I don't recommend it as it hurts later. I think that is part of the reason I ran into pain trouble. If someone else is driving and it's only for 45min or even a couple hours...that should be fine :) Just my thoughts....You look good! Congrats :)
ekaterina777 1 Mar 2013
Day 2 and 3 was the worst fr me, if you feel like going for a ride is ok, but for me 20 minutes of drive was a nightmare. Do you have low grade fever? Happy healing
BethH (Community Manager) 2 Mar 2013

Glad you checked with the doctor about your fever. I'm sure you know that fever can sometimes indicate an infection. Sorry the car ride was tough!  How are you feeling today?

ekaterina777 2 Mar 2013
Hello BethH, thank you for your consideration. Today I feel much better. Fever evening 99.1. Still stiff and getting out of bed in the morning is the hardest thing to do. Yesterday was my first post op and had bandages changed. Nurse said incisions looked fine. Going to the second post op appointment on Monday and will update you on my progress. I am of the pain meds since Friday.taking only antibiotic and muscle relaxer. Still hurts a little but is not so bad. Thanks again
ekaterina777 1 Mar 2013
Hi and congrats on your surgery. I am too 4 days post op, huby drove me to post op appointment to remove bandages, driving hurt a lot. Today I am of the painkillers. Feel tight and have 100.6 fever. Dr said its fine
Themoonlitpth 1 Mar 2013
are you happy with the size or do you wish you went bigger? i am the same stats as you but im going 415 ccs to get a full c/small D..im so afraid that it will look unnatural because im starting from nothing
indianlily 12 Mar 2013
Hey girl sorry i didnt reply to you message! I didnt notice it here. I would say go with 415! (that must be saline right?) I went 325 and I could have definitely went a bit bigger. How tall are you and what is your weight? that plays a large factor also the size of your ribcage will allow you either to stay with mod or go high profile. I heard that saline implants allow you to have more volume. If I would have went 325cc saline they would apparently look bigger, or so i've heard from a couple youtube forums. oops just saw you said that you were the same stats as me. I think 415 would be perfect for you. One thing i will tell you is that when i had my sizers on they seemed alot bigger!
Themoonlitpth 1 Mar 2013
they look great!
