Hi there! I am 5'5, approximately 120lbs, pear-shape size 2-4, wearing a 32A bra at the moment. I am hoping to get breast augmentation surgery in September-Octoberish. I just recently quit breastfeeding my one-year old about two months ago and have been advised to wait 4-6 months before getting a consultation.

After surgery, I hope to be a 32D which is what I was during pregnancy and while breastfeeding. I want to make sure that my doctor recommends and approves of the size of implant I choose due to my narrow and small ribcage and lack of upper body tissue. I worry that too big of implant will make me look heavy or will look strange on top my ribcage.

I am also aware that I may need a breast lift along with implants in order to get the optimal results that I seek.

Yes anxious to know what they told you.

You have an amazing body! Wish I looked that good. I'm also 29. I Have twin 7 year old boys. My surgery is set for Sept 18th! Feels like forever from now! I want to be a full C so my dr recommended 325 implant overfilled to 375. I am currently a small B. Picking size had been the hardest part!

That is so nice! Thank you! I have really been working hard. I found a workout program called Moms Into Fitness by Lindsay Brin. I highly recommend it for anyone who might be bored with their old workout routine and wants to see some fast results. So, you have to go through the LONG swimsuit season with little boobies as well. I feel ya! Long wait! So are you doing saline then? Who is your ps?
June 12, 2014
Yes I am doing Saline. My Dr is Sheryl Pilcher in San Antonio. I feel so comfortable with her! And believe me, everytime I get into a bathing suit I drive myself nuts. I'm sure my husband is tired of me whinning about it. If I wouldn't ruin my kids summer I would have it done NOW!! Lol!

Hi girls. My consultation went well. Even that I am extremely skinny and very tall I do qualify for BA. MY PS is very experienced in my area, but.... the size of implants he recommended for me doesn't sit with me. He wants me go with Natrelle over 425cc and teardrop( I like the shape). I feel like 400 cc is too much for me, he assured me that because I am tall and I have a long skinny torso the implant will look ok on me, but bigger on shorter person. I get it! but still! I don't know what to do?..listen Dr or....hm
June 12, 2014
Hmm...what size are you wanting to end up being? I want to be full C, I'm 5'4 and 118lbs. My dr recommended 325 implants overfilled to 375. (I want saline) I was a little nervous about 375. I was leaning more towards 350 but it's only 2 tbsp difference and I trust my dr. And when you go under the muscle you loose a tiny bit of size. So...I'm going to go with 375!!!
June 12, 2014
Hmm I must have maxed my typing space. All my message didn't show up. If you have reservations about it I would get another consult with another dr, so you feel comfortable. Why did he recommend over the muscle?

I am really all about listening to the experts BUT you will need to feel comfortable with the size. Did you show him a pic of what you want?

I agree with another consult with another doctor! It can't hurt right? Which doc is it?

For tall and thin person I think I would be comfortable with small C. Full C would be OK also if looks natural for my small frame. Is C cup over 400cc? I am leaning towards teardrop shape. I look fro more natural look.

I will see another dr on july 14. I saw DR. Spiro in NJ. That's the thing, I did show him pictures what I like what I don't . He has a high reviews and did feel comfortable with him, just the size he recommended turned me off....

I have heard that what might size cc might make one person a size C the same could make another person a DD. It's all about how much breast tissue you currently have and your measurements, so it does make sense that since you are so thin you would need a higher cc to get you to the look you want. I might trust him. Especially if you are sure he is informed and understands what you want.

Workout Gear Pictures & Mini Freak Out

Starting to really worry about how my boobs are going to turn out. I have so many fears. I just want them to look fabulous and not like a freak show. I'm hoping to have my concerns remedied during my consultation, but that isn't until August!

These pictures show how flat as a board I look in my workout attire. It is depressing and I feel no where near sexy.

Here are the topless photos I promised. The left breast (the one on the opposite side of the mole on my stomach) is slightly smaller and perkier than the right one. I'm not sure how noticeable it is. Also, the harder they are then the perkier and higher they are. In these pics they are slightly hard. I am only a couple months without breastfeeding so I am aware that there could be some changes still to come. I will post updated photos before my consult. I know only a ps could really tell me, but I'm curious about your opinions on me needing a breast lift.

The smaller one will just need more ccs to even them out because there is a difference.and if the ps says no I would tell him I want to do.to different implants because it is noticible that one is smaller .mine weren't as noticeable and it is noticeable still .
June 17, 2014
And I don't think u need a lift at all .u will have the perfect body .once u have. Them girls in .do u know what size you want ?
June 17, 2014
Post pics again in like 2 months your breast Wil shrink more when the milk.completely goes away . I wanna see what they look like then . If using don't mind
June 17, 2014
hi! your breasts are very similar to mine (and I don't have children) and I was also told that I may need a lift (by two PS) along with implants but another 2 PS's told me otherwise. I suggest you go visit as many PS as you can so that you can make the best decision. I think your body is great and the surgery will only enhance that :) keep us posted and good luck with everything :)

Hey, I saw you only have a review for rhinoplasty. When are you getting your BA? I am anxious to see your results since our breasts are so similar.
June 24, 2014
Hi, Actually I posted a question for the doctors on this site to help me. I'm thinking about getting them during the fall/winter 2014 so that by summer they will be ready for show lol! I'm still looking into going to see more PS b/c I've been told by some that I need a lift and then others don't even mention it and that's freaking me out a little. I was actually waiting to see what you do (regarding getting a lift or not) and seeing the outcome! :) you're like my inspiration here b/c we're so close in size/shape :) I'm 95% sure I'm getting them done but I'm just making sure I find the right PS.
June 24, 2014
sorry..when I said fall/winter 2014 I was referring to the end of 2014 so that by 2015 spring/summer they will be ready for viewing lol!

Unless u want really perky boobs, you shouldn't need a lift. And they will prob recommend high profile because you are narrow, but u maybe can get away with mod+. Depends on what look your going for and how the implant will fit u
