11 Weeks Post Op & Finally Got Bra Fitted - 32C?- Tampa, FL

I agree with marieammie2000. Everyone that I have spoken to has suggested that I go a little bigger than what I think. Here is how my good friend put it, "Dr. I want to go big enough to look classy not but small enough not to be trashy." LOL.

Lol! Makes sense to me. Thanks for the advice!

That's what I keep reading. I guess I'm nervous about going from 0 to 60, ya know? Thanks for the advice! I'll keep you posted!

I think the best thing to do is not focus on a cup size. Look through lots of pics & find ones that u would like to look like, similar body shape to ur own & bring pics in to ur PS. Everyone seems to regret not going that bit bigger, including myself. I wanted to be subtle & played it safe. We're so used to having nothing at all but actually u may be able to carry off more than u think. I thought a D cup sounded huge, I asked for a full C. I am now actially measuring a D but think I def could have gone at least 50cc more, I went 330. Just my thoughts on it. Best of luck with ur decision!

Thanks Angie! Leaning toward saline. I'm very conservative and just want to feel the least freaked out possible with the whole process. The rice test is a great idea.

I like the lean look too and definitely hate all the damn padded bras! I'm going to Dr. David Halpern. Who are you using? I'm just afraid I'll say I want a C (and over 300 cc's) and end up with a D. Lol! I trust my doc though and gave him pictures so I hope at pre-op we can discuss it one more time to calm my nerves.

Oh ladies I like the lean look too. And the first think I pointed out to my hubby is that I dont look super thin like I did before! Not complaining of coarse!!! But will take awhile to get used to this! Also doesnt help that my bloat wont go away!

Ok, now you make me nervous! I think that's why I'm so nervous about going too big. Did the PS say anything about the bloating?

I forgot to ask today :-/ Dont be nervous! Just make sure you PS knows what you are going for and dont be afraid to voice your opinion! It IS your body!!

Aaak. What pictures are you using? When I see naked breasts, unless they are HUGE, I can't really tell what size they are. I mean my sister has natural D/DDs and although they look good on her, all I know is that they would not suit me. Weird, huh? She is shorter than I am by 4 inches and has a small frame too but has wide hips so she looks cute and curvy. I could potentially look top heavy if I'm not careful. I hear you on going over 300 ccs and winding up a D. OMG, I'd be so unhappy. I am going to Dr. Castor. He is a sweetheart (I had vaser with him last year) and I feel very confident with him. He always gets good reviews too. I've heard great things about Dr Halpern too. Redwall, you look awesome. They look great now and it's only been less than 2 weeks, can't even imagine what they'll look like when you drop and fluff.

I found some photos on here where the women are about my height and weight. I'm about to post my before pics and I'm embarrassed by them. Guess that's a good sign I'm ready to fix this! Lol!

Lol, just do it. I'm hoping no one will recognise me because I ALWAYS wear padding. And definitely don't be embarrassed. Mine got concave at the top from breastfeeding which looks horrid but before they were just small, but firm. I used to flip flop btwn being ok with them and wanting some oomph. Oddly,before they got ruined, I was more confident with them naked than I was dressed without padding. I just got the Macys perfume circular in the Sunday paper and the girl in the Dolce & Gabbana light blue ad (it is also on You Tube) is quite flat but looks sexy as all get out. (To me at least.) It made me realise that I definitely don't want to go too big. I've got to invest some time and do the same thing you did (finding people with your physical stats) - did you print them out or just write down their profiles for your doc to look at?

Omg! That's exactly how I feel. I am so worried they will be too big. I printed them. I actually found quite a few different pairs and some from other sites. I looked at them with friends and we all thought the ones around 275-300 looked great for my frame.

My doctors assistant suggested the 350 ccs on me but I am now thinking that's too big. I liked the idea of them (having boobs) but know in my heart that they will bug me if I have live with them on a daily basis and I will feel deeply regretful if I see a small set that look great (like the D&G model) and will miss my smaller boobs. Having said that if you are having sub muscular placement you lose some volume as well so that's something else to factor into the equation. And then you have the different profiles. Aaaak. It's so hard to figure this out. I am just grateful I booked my surgery with so much time to give this intense consideration, I bet you are too. My doctor gave me a kit with 4 implants in it to help with my decision making.

Oh my gosh, dont be embarrassed! You have more in your preBA photos than I ever had ha ha ha! But I know how you feel. I never had the guts to take photos of my boobies naked until I got my BA done!

Thanks! The PS did say he would add in stitches to give me more of a breast fold underneath.

Thanks! That's what I'm shooting for. :)

Thank you!

Thank you! I was reading about every pillow I could find. Lol! I think they have them at Sears nearby. I don't feel like ordering online. I'm so over shopping right now. That's the holidays for ya. Thanks for the tip on pineapple. I love it so that won't be hard to do.

Thanks Sunny!

Yay boob twins! Lol thanks!

Thanks LeahMerril! Today is pre-op. I'll report back on how it goes.

Hey unsure, I went back and forth on it for a very, very long time. The catalyst for me was seeing a movie with a girl who had my exact frame (give or take an ab muscle lol!) I HATED the way her boobs looked. Some would argue that she looks "hot" and it was fine but I personally don't like that "look." Ultimately, I'm going too big and I just want to get rid of padded bras and the dread of bikini shopping. The idea of repeated surgeries doesn't sound too thrilling to me but it's worth it for my self confidence. I have a friend who is a psychologist and she was concerned about my decision due to the high suicide rates of those who undergo plastic sugery. I suppose some people think it will change their lives. I know my life isn't going to drastically change. I'll still have bills and worries and that sort of thing. I'll just have all of it with bigger boobs. Lol! Good luck with your decision. Maybe make a pro and con list. Always helps me when I can't decide.

I agree with you. Having plastic surgery is a personal decision. I went back and forth forever because I was worried about the look, size, feel, the money, the surgery, and the recovery. I myself am nervous about how I will look and if I am going too big. I am also not looking forward to any revisions either. I did some research to ease my nerves at least about size and the look and the one thing I learned is that after a boob job your boobs will look the same as they did preop....just bigger. I am actually very happy with the shape and look of my boobs just not happy with the size. So I am confident I will be happy with the look. I also know where to set my expectations too, meaning that I do not expect this to change me or make me more popular in the social world. What I am expecting is that I will be able to stand a bit taller and maybe buy that really cute swimsuit in the window and have it actually look nice on me. The rest of my body looks good in a swimsuit just not the chest area. So if you already don't like yourself in a swimsuit overall then a breast enhancement will not change that. Main thing is to not expect too much you have to be happy with yourself and when you realize that you are you can rationally decide that a breast augmentation is right for you, because its not for everybody. You dont want to be that person that gets their boobs done and then go back for a butt lift, lipo, tummy tuck, or facial reconstruction. Not meaning to knock those that have but some of those people are just simply not happy overall.

I agree with you 100%. And feel the same way about the boobs. I've worked out every other body part I can and this is just an area I can't fix with running or sit ups. Keep me posted on if you decide to move forward. Either way is the best decision for you and that's what matters most.
