Nervous and Waiting - Tacoma, WA

do not be nervous. meditate a lot. it helps. then you need less anesthesia, and you recover sooner and easier. if you trust your surgeon, let him decide when he has you on the table. at that point, he can see the width of your chest, how it looks, and choose the right cc for you, based on if you tell him you do or do not want to be one speck bigger than a C or a B,,, etc. go get rice and fill plastic bags, and get a regular bra, no padding, and try it on for size. you do not sound like a 450 cc to me, but you need to know what profile he will use. a high profile will make them stick out farther and pointed more and slimmer sides. mine is moderate profile. look at the profiles and discuss them, and look at the chart your PS has for chest width and ht and wt etc. the charts are done for the correct aesthetic proportions. be sure you consult with 3 doctors, and perhaps make one of them a surgeon who does lots of mastectomies, since they can do reconstructions and have developed a good eye for proportion, and not always dealing with women whose goal is to be bigger, but women who want to look great but natural after cancer. you might need a mastopexy (breast lift) to get rid of excess skin and then use implant to hold the new shape.good luck!

Hello, I am in the Federal way /Seattle area. nice to have another lady in my area :) feel free to look at my page, I have surgery in May.

Relax. When I did my consultation I tried on the Sizers and I was set on the 275 cc. I tried on the 300cc but they looked really big on me. Than at the end I asked doctor for 300cc he told me because of my body size he didn't know if it would fit. But I ended up with 300cc. Yeaaaaaa. We are very similar in size minus your being 4 inches taller. Lol I wanted to be a C cup so I'm sure I will be. From reading other ladies profiles I'm amazed some women can get 800cc. But we all have different body frames. I'm happy with the choice I made.

may i make a suggestion? i know you are right now"nervous and waiting" but often when we label ourselves, it can do more harm, because we reinforce the label daily, instead of trying to change it. if you reversed the name, you might actually feel calmer, which is more conducive to healing and successful surgery. e.g. tranquillty looms, or calm now and confident--or goodbye nervous- hello calmness---might be good names....you decide--consider it.
