After years of wanting to do this, I finally have my surgery booked for breast augmentation! I'm stoked and nervous all at the same time. I've chosen to go with silicone due to the more natural feel.
Stats: 5'5" 140lbs 34A
Implants Chosen: 375cc Moderate Plus profile Silicone
Incision/placement: Armpit incision under the muscle
Doctor notes: I have a smaller ribcage and very tight skin above my breasts - there's just not much room there...
My first consultation was with a clinic that performs the 3D imaging. I was pretty set on having the 475cc high profile that they had fitted me with. However, I was unable to get a response when I called and emailed with questions, so I kept looking. If I can't get simple answers up front, it scares me to wonder what happens if anything would go wrong down the road. I was really worried about the high profile implants anyway, so it's probably for the best. I don't want the super fake look with too much roundness on the upper pole.
The doctor I have booked with fitted me with 375cc Moderate Plus Profile. Although I wish I could go larger, I think this will be a sufficient size and the more "natural" look I'm going for. There's so many different "after" photos out there, I hope I get a great result! I'll post a more detailed review about the doctor once I'm out of surgery.

Just put me in a bubble until May 22!
Arggggghhh!!!! I wish I could walk around in a cloud of antiseptic right now! It seems like I can't go anywhere without hearing people talking about being sick, and I'm doing my best to stay healthy so I pass my pre-op tests and have a positive recovery. I've never been so germophobic in my life. I'm trying to stay away from processed foods and stick to whole foods because I go for the bad stuff when I'm stressed/anxious. I'm a pescatarian (vegetarian occasionally eating fish), so my options are limited anyway. I exercise 6 days a week, I've been drinking a TON of water and I'm trying to keep up with taking my daily multivitamin.
... I'm getting super emotional about this whole thing. I got my post-op bra in the mail and tried it out with ricer sizers. The idea of having something to finally fill my tops is overwhelming after so many years of feeling cheated by nature, inadequate, and self-conscious. I wish I had done this sooner... I had the money a few years ago, but then my boyfriend talked me into buying a car instead. In his defense, he didn't know I was thinking about getting a BA. He's totally supportive of my decision now though. Actually, I think I might have made him sick of looking at boobs (is that possible?) :). I've been asking his opinion as I go along, but I've done research and consultations myself as this is my body and something I've wanted for many years now.

Size Test
375 cc rice sizing test. I did try on sizers in my consult, but it's not quite the same as being at home and trying on different clothes with them. I doubled up on sports bras for extra compression - the top bra is a lightly molded C-Cup. It's not a "D" but I think I'm going to like this size if I end up anything like this test!

I'm 4 weeks post op today with similar stats. I had 320cc silicone under and I didn't get a D or even a C from it. May be a full B. Going back in two weeks to see when I can have them redone. They look a lot bigger than they will actually be during the sizing. Hopefully this is helpful:).

Thank you - yes it is helpful. I'm not too hung up on the Cup size I guess & tried to measure the rice on the smaller side -it was very close to my consult look with the teardrop sizers. As long as I end up more proportional and don't have any complications recovering, I'll be happy :). Did you pick your size or did your PS recommend it for you?

We didn't discuss the actual size of the implant before hand, just the size I wanted to be in the end. Even took pictures off another site so my PS had a good idea of what I wanted to look like. I spent a lot of time researching my PS, the type of implant I wanted and the recovery process, just wish I would have also looked into size. Good luck to you:).

Oh boy, lol at home I've tried on everything up to 700cc rice test... That size is fun to think about, but just wouldn't work for me for many reasons. Hope you end up with a size that you feel good about though!
