Hello everyone! :) I am 23 years old and have been waiting for my boobs to come in since I was 12. Waiting...and waiting...and waiting! I am 5'6 weighing in at 124lbs. I'd say I have a petite athletic frame. I am currently a 34 A and I hate the shape of my breasts. I am hoping that this breast augmentation rounds them out a bit more as I feel like they are more narrow. I have a 12.3 BWD.
I had my first consult a few weeks ago and another one with the same PS today. I scheduled my surgery for 04/23! So very excited and nervous at the same time. I am really caught up on sizes.
I am debating between the 425 / 450 HP Silicone unders. I tried on mainly the 450's today and I am scared they will be too big or look ungodly unnatural on me(pics posted). The ladies at the office said that it looked proportionate to my frame ( I have a butt and some hips). I was wanting to go for a full C to mid D. Im scared I am going to get huge DDs. I like the in between fake/natural look(Jennifer Stanos is my boob idol). I don't want [RS bleep] star boobs, but I would like some round perky ones! Please help! Advice is much appreciated. I have over a month to decide!!

I feel like I have boobs on the brain!! I am still torn about sizing. CC's look SO different on every girl. I just hope that the sizing is right for me. It fills up my BWD, which is what I am going for. I just do not want to look top heavy or [RS bleep] starish. And most of all, I do not want them to make me look bigger than I am. I would like to keep my thin frame. Hence why I am sticking with the High Profiles. Any advice ladies?

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf. It is such a great idea to post your pictures with sizers. This way you can get excellent feedback from the community. I agree, they look proportionate to the rest of your body. Do you have recovery time set aside and perhaps someone to help you during recovery?

Thanks! :) I think I am just so nervous of the size because I am not used to it. It is so hard to decide which size is appropriate because CC's look so different on other girls!
My mom is flying down to take care of me right after and then my boyfriend is coming down for the weekend. The surgery is on a Tuesday, I am hoping to be ready for work by Monday!

Are you seeing dr fryer? Looks like his room, lol. You have an excellent body right now. I don't think that size will look too big on you. I have a breast diameter of 11 and couldn't go larger than a 425cc hp. I went with a 400 hp. Just remember that you lose a bit of cc when going under the muscle. Also, if you work out it will keep the muscle tight which will make u even smaller. I friday selected 325 but ended up going 400 and I'm glad I did. They appear smaller now that I have them.

I am actually seeing Dr. Motoki, but I think they are in the same office? Canyon Crest? Your's look fabulous!! I hope mine turn out that well. It's crazy how CC's look so different, depending on your body type. I am hoping that I am faring as well as you on Day 4. My boyfriend flys in on the third night and hoping to be less zombie like.
March 11, 2013
Yes, Canyon Crest. You will like it there :) I'm sure you will do great. Just make sure you take the first few days easy, regardless of how you feel.

Hi! My surgery is scheduled for 9 April. I am having the same size issues! CCs do look so much different on everyone. I am 5'4, and 125 lbs. I want a large C to a small D, but like you I don't want them to be too huge. After doing the sizers I decided on 400cc moderate profile silicone. I think the sizers that you have on look good with your frame. I have read so many reviews where people went smaller because they feared being too big, and then they are mad because they feel too small. I hope you get the boobs you want! Good luck.

Hey there! We have very similar measurements. My BWD is also 12.3 and I am 5'5" and weigh 127. I started with almost no breast tissue at a 34A/32B. I went with silicone Mentor HP 450cc right and left. I absolutely LOVE them. I will say, sleeping on my sides has been difficult to adjust to because my BWD is small and the implants do have a little bit of a lateral projection (aka side boob). But I do not think they look too big at all. I am four weeks post-op and they are becoming more and more a part of me every day. I also work out 5-6 days per week and lift HEAVY. I just got cleared to go back to the gym for cardio and lower body. I do notice them, probably because I haven't gotten into my regular workout routine just yet, but I don't feel like they are weighing me down or are in the way at all of lifting/plyo. I just wear two sports bras. They look awesome :-)
I measured at Victoria's Secret (their sizing runs really small BTW!) 2 weeks post-op when I was still very swollen. They said I was a 34DD there. I think by now, since my swelling is gone, and the girls are dropping really nicely, that I am a 34D or perhaps a large C. I was also torn pre-op because I said 450 was my max size and I thought I was going to do 375cc. But I decided that, since I am taking so much time out of my daily routine to recover, and that this is a lifelong investment, to trust my PS and go with the size he thought would be best for my frame...450. I'm so happy I did. I will try to post more pictures on my profile soon but please feel free to send me a message if you have questions! Those sizers look great on you, BTW. It's all about what you wear too. You can dress them up or down, in t-shirts I barely look any different than in my "padded bra" days. Hope this helps!

Hey! It's not my post, but your response really helped me. I am very into fitness and working out and have been worried about what it will be like after I get implants. Also, thanks for your size comments. I would like to see pics too. I am boob obsessed right now trying to find out what mine will look like. Thanks again

Alright ladies I am officially a week out!! I had my finalization appointment yesterday. Also dropped my full payment off. It felt amazing paying for this. An investment for myself! Now on to the good part....I picked my size! I finally settled with 425 HP Silk unders. I was previously looking at 450, but my biggest fear was going too big. The way I look at it, I can always go bigger later on if I want :)
Any advice for the days leading up to surgery? Anything I should buy to help my recovery? My mom is coming up in Sunday to stay for a week( being military I don't see her very often do that's good news!!) I turn my prescriptions in tomorrow. He prescribed me Loritabs. I have never taken pain meds so I'm a bit nervous on that front.
I know we are supposed to wait 6 weeks to start exercising, but would it be OK to do like air squats, calf raises, things that won't really effect my upper body too much about a week or two after. Thank goodness I start school the first week of May, will keep me a tad busy after work without pouting over working out.

Yay! My surgery date is one day before yours! It's so exciting! We have similar stats. I'm going abit smaller though. I'm going about 350cc I think.
Can't wait to see your progress :)
