After years of thinking about this. going back and forth about weather or not to do it. finally i decided i needed to do it because it was really affecting my life. i was very self conscience in general, never going without a bra, never changing in front of anyone. in the bed room with my boyfriend, even during sex i would do anything so he couldnt see my boobs. I had a mild case of ptosis, droopy breasts and had large areolas. i was a 34b. something had to be done!

I had a breast lift yesterday with 240cc silicone implants moderate profile. I wanted to look extremely natural, i dont want anyone to know i have implants. if you see on my wall i posted a question a few weeks ago asking for advice with size. the only advice i got was to go for 300cc-350cc. Becasue i am 5'10 and 135 with broad should the doctors thought i "could handle" that size. But i went with my intuition. Having the doctor order me both 240 and 270cc silicone implants. the morning of my surgery i picked 240cc. Which would put me at a small-medium C. which is what i want.

I dont know why even when i stated how natural i wanted to look the other doctors push for "what you can handle" or what seems to be big! my first piece of advice to anyone when considering size is to not go too big, i feel like these surgeons are so jaded when it comes to size. Not my doctor, he was so cool, after the surgery he said to me " you were right about the 240cc they are going to look perfect" i just wanted a fuller more perky youthful look, after all im only 25!

I did not do this procedure to have big boobs. By all means if you want big ones go big! i was out of surgery at 11am. doc said surgery couldnt have gone better. I am still bed ridden. Cant lift myself up. Thank god my best friend is here taking care of me. YOU CANT DO IT ALONE. today is day 2, i am still very sore, swollen, lots of pressure. Sleeping on my back is no fun either. But considering i just had major surgery im doing pretty good. I have been taking vicodin every 5 hours or so. I still havent seen results cause i have this bra i cant take off for another day. I will keep you posted!

Thank you so much for sharing here! I love your story. I think the doctors were probably steering you toward 350s because 1.That's kind of the standard size implant that most people go with and, 2. Most women wish they'd gone bigger.

That said, I think it's fantastic that you want to keep a natural shape. Smaller implants will age much better (ie, won't drop and droop as much). I'm glad you found a doctor who listened to you and did what you wanted. Hooray for perky and natural looking!

You look great. It is helpful to others to know why each of us chose the size we did, either for size, perkiness, more natural look etc. Everyone is different and to feel great afterwards is the key. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Hello-my info is on the mommy makeover blog, as I had a TT also. Hardest part for me was choosing size! I have an excellent PS and he definately didn't steer me towards size, just wanted me to give him the green light to go up in size if that would be needed to get my droopy girls filled out! I ended up with 215 cc and I had a really hard time finding pics on here because average size is 300-450 cc. Speedy recovery-you look great!

Wow, you look great! Good job with sticking to your 1st choice. It was nice to read your story.

The size you chose looks like it fits you perfectly. Hooray for sticking to your guns. You look fabulous!

I agree. The size is very nice. It looks good on you. Many women go too large (in my opinion).

Mine are 265cc silicone gel and I'm 5'3, 110lbs. I'm very petite. I think they'll be perfect on me. I want natural and well proportioned.

You look great! Excellent size choice. How are you feeling now that you're a few weeks out? 

Also, do you only have an incision around the nipple? I'm curious because you said you had a lift too, but I always thought lifts meant lollipop or anchor scars incisions.

if you click on my images there is a bit of info about each stage.
Laura R. 6 Mar 2012
Yes a nipple incision with a lift. Dr Freund had a unique lift procedure he does. Its the only one that is a significant lift with only scars around the nipple. This is why I choose him.

Wow, that's really cool! I've never heard of that before. 

Sizing is so amazing because after I saw your photos, I was looking at pictures of someone with 300+ccs and a smaller frame than you, and hers looked smaller! And I don't think you had much more tissue to begin with than she did. It really cemented for me the fact that sizing is so unique to everyone. Even though there are some standards to base off of, a skilled surgeon in this area is like a fine artist!

i wanted to reduce the size of my areolas too. how do you feel about your scar? my surgery is a month away and i'm still debatiing if i want to get a lift and reduce the areola size. feedback please!
Laura R. 23 May 2012
hmmm.... you know i dont mind large areolas as long as they as they sit high on the breast. My problem was that i was droppy, so the procedure i did lifted, and reduced areola size not by much though. mostly i needed the lift (which is amazing!). if i were you i would post pictures and see what people say. its nice to get objective opinions. I dont mind the scar so much. i am in a committed relationship and my man loves me so it doesnt bother me. Im sure if i was single and had to show the scar i would be uncomfortable.
SOCALCHICK 24 May 2012
i posted a picture! thank you for your feedback! your outcome is amazing, verrrry proportionate!
Laura R. 24 May 2012
your areolas look totally perfect! dont do it!
