Hi! Im 26, 5' 3'', I'm a bodybuilder competitor so I fluctuate from 110-125lbs, and I'm very athletic and active. I've had and breastfed 2 kids (5&2 now) and since then my chest has completely disappeared and am left with NOTHING (like i can't wear a push up if i wanted to)!!! I've struggled a LOT with my itty bitty chest since I was a teen and now I'm ready to do something about it! So I went in for a consultation last week and made my appointment!! February 17th :-) !!! I can't wait!!! I'm thinking around the 400-450cc range, smooth round, silicone implants, under the muscle, and either high profile or moderate plus. It's a tough decision and there is a lot to consider. Since I am very active I don't want them to get in the way (but there are many top heavy women who can "get er done" just as good as us flat ladies! sooooo... lol). I want to stay away from the OBVIOUS BOWLING BALL BOOBS (lol) but I want them nice and full and perky! Honestly, anything is better than what I am currently "rocking"... or not "rocking" I guess, lol. I just want to feel like an actual woman! Not a teen boy... I'm very eager and excited!! I SERIOUSLY CAN'T WAIT!
Any other women with similar stats with recommendations?! Hp? Moderate plus? 400-450ccs?

Pregnancy and body building can take a toll on breasts. Glad you have the opportunity to get the breasts you've always wanted. You might enjoy thisĀ forum for body builders getting breast implants. Looking forward to your updates!

You sound JUST like me, minus the bodybuilding part! I am 5'3", 125 lbs, breastfed all 3 of my kids and have nothing to show for it! My mom lied to me all those years she told me my boobs would get bigger after I had kids LOL. I am going with 450cc high profile silicone under the muscle. My PS showed me the simulation on the Vectra imaging system and my husband thought this size looked best on me. The decision between high and moderate plus profiles can also depend on your BWD...do you know what yours is?

Hi! I was on the exact same boat. I am now one month post op 5'4 15lbs. 465cc unders. I explained I was very active and wanted to be low c cup I was so scared when I heard 465 all the boobs I liked and searched were all under 400cc but realistically speaking I was starting from nothing. I still don't know what size I'll end up with since I'm only I month post put have received so many compliments think I landed a size I can play with lol sports bra and I can hide them push up bra and give myself nice cleavage. Good luck . Keep us updated

Thank you! I'm glad your happy with your results so far! What profile did you end up with? How was your initial healing time? I hear some women have hardly any pain and don't require the meds and others who are in excruciating pain. I am pretty developed in my pecs (not hulk status, but I have muscle) so I'm hoping it won't cause extra pain or mess with my end results. I've been laying off chest workouts and massaging them out! Congrats on your BA!

I did moderate prof. More than physically ,be mentally prepared lol ... MY first week was hell I wanted to punch those damn things out. Any minimal arm movement and I felt like I was going to rip apart. (I was super small though ,you can say just a nipple) I read so many experiences about women who just felt alot of pressure on their chest ,well I was one of those that got a lIL more than just that. I have one child and didn't breast feed but pumped daily and the feeling after first couple days is exactly like when ur breast are full and need to get rid of milk asap . I was going to gym 4-5 days a week and I have 2 more weeks until I can start lifting light and start jogging

OUCH! Crazy! How do you feel now? I will do my best to be prepared lol. I gym about 5-6 days a week, I teach group classes, and I'm a Personal Trainer, so I'm very active! My doc said I can go back to light workouts 2-3 weeks post, but I feel like thats really soon! lol. Trying to figure out how much time I really need to take off. :-/

not looking forward to the engorged feeling!!! I hated that when I was breastfeeding...I would stand in the shower and let hot water run over them waiting for relief that NEVER came until about a week into breastfeeding. Guess ice packs will be my close friends to get through that nightmare again....

Just noticed my first reply meant to say I'm 125 lbs. 29yrs old...currently no pain I actually started leg workouts with weight this past week.. I do find mornings are the most uncomfortable idk if this happens to anyone else... not painful more like a sore feeling. . I lover morning jogs and I do know I'm not ready for that. I'm still trying to get used to the twins I have friends who were back jogging after 4 weeks just doubling up on the sports bra. I'm still wearing my ugly post surgical bra ..as I was asked to wear for 6 weeks

Please keep us updated!! I'm 5'4" 125 and I lift, run and do yoga (along with other activities!! I'm super active) and I'm barely an a cup. 2 kids, 6 and 2... Both bf for 13 (looooong) months and I've got nothing left. I'm going to stay moderate and thinking 325-350cc but based on pics I'm going to show them they may say diff.... But we did agree on silicone, round, high profile. I was paranoid about high profile because I just want to look balanced and not in your face haha but my rib age is wide and from what I've heard high profile will project more forward instead of "out" to the side. Super anxious to see your afters! I can't get mine done until after a race in april!!!

Awesome! I'm sure yours will turn out great. Like i said above, your doc should help lead you to the best decision that'll get you close to your wishes. :-)

I'm so happy I found your profile! I'm torn between hp or mod. It's so hard to compare bodies and ccs and I try to imagine myself with fake breast.i feel your body is close to mine just more toned! Lol

lol Thank you! Its all a little confusing because our bodies are all different to some extent. I struggled trying to make all the "perfect" decisions upfront, but in reality, your doc will use his best judgment to get close to your wishes (this is his profession, and if he's good, he'll do it right). Profile will really be determined by your doctor based on your chest and how big you want to go. I didn't have a choice besides HP because my chest is more narrow and I wanted a little bigger implant. I really wanted 450cc, but last minute (while drawing me up) doc leaned towards the 425cc as he felt this would give me a better balanced and more symmetrical appearance, and we didn't want to get into nipple reconstruction to make everything look "right" going bigger. Keep asking questions, keep researching, sharing your wish pictures with your doc, and try to be realistic about YOUR bodies potential :-) I take comfort knowing that what I ended up with is FAR BETTER than what I had before ;-) Good Luck!!!

He first said 371mod and then said maybe a 397. I had asked about hp and after researching implants the difference in base cm is only .6. So I'm going to see what he thinks as far as my chest and the additional .4 inch projection the hp gives. I'm worried the 397 will give me more side boob than I prefer. But I don't want my side profile to be as exaggerated as some I've seen with the 450 hp. I have a completely flat chest and my doctor advised at the consultation he wouldn't go over 500ccs, he said after that he would worry my nipples would turn in. At my consultation I didn't even know what 500ccs looked like.

FYI: (I'm sorry, I got long winded :-) but good read, i think)

The big day can't come fast enough I feel like. This is something I've hoped for for a very long time. It's tough to really explain the toll of having a chest of a green bean little boy as a grown ass woman, but really?.... How can I expect others to completely understand? "Sexy" is in the eye of the beholder and we all know we are our own worst critic's, but to have our judgments/ thoughts/ feelings of OURSELVES dismissed or criticized by others is a tough one to put up with. ITS HOW I FEEL! It's allowed and I am entitled to it.

I STOPPED developing in like the 3rd grade! (lol, it's funny and sad at the same time). On the bright side of having a less than "womanly body" MY ENTIRE LIFE, I was able to do a lot of sports and horseback riding without any concern of "the girls" (or lack of) getting in the way. I didn't have to deal with being a teen and having "dem knockers" pop out unexpectedly or have people rudely stare at my chest and avoid my eyes. Those things aside though, I was always, "One of the guys". At some point you kinda want to be seen as a woman, not just by or for others but most importantly, yourself!

Researching BA's and making decisions for YOUR very own "upgrade" is a BIG DEAL and a tough one! I believe this should be a decision that YOU make and that YOU feel GREAT about! Something that'll make you feel amazing and beautiful when you look in the mirror. NOT something that you end up feeling guilty about or greedy, or conceded, or shallow for wanting/doing. Girl if you want to improve your boobies then you damn well should!!!!! (considering is financially and time appropriate, we are adults and we have to be responsible too lol).

When is your surgery date? Mine is June 23rd and I am DYING having to wait that long. But I am currently very over weight and I want to lose a few pounds before undergoing surgery. :)

Awesome! Mine is Feb 17th! PreOp is on the 9th and I'm stoked! It landed perfectly, before I went in for the consult I already had mid feb in mind, so when they told me that date was the first available I was down!! And it's giving me enough time to shed off the little bit of fluff I put on over the holidays lol. You have plenty of time to improve your figure!! Stay dedicated and it'll happen! Good luck!
