I'm scheduled for a BA in less than a month.....

I'm scheduled for a BA in less than a month.. Starting to feel pretty apprehensive about it. I'm a 34A, breastfed 4 babies, and I'd like just a little boost... To a 34B. I'm actually pretty darn terrified of going any bigger. I like have small breasts for practical (working out) reasons, but I want them to be cute and feminine. Anybody else scared that your PS is planning bigger implants than your comfortable with? I'm thinking 225cc or less, and he's thinking 275cc. I'm seriously not worried about "wasting" my money on such small implants... I want what I want !

I totally get it! Make sure your surgeon knows this and understands without a shadow of a doubt that you'd be more disappointed with breasts that are too big than too small! I think smaller implants are elegant and I hope you get exactly what you want!

Hi, I am inspired by your post! I am very lean, 5'9" and about 120lbs. I'm considering 300cc but am scared, despite trying them on and liking myself in certain tops, that I will look like boobs on a stick if braless. Yours look great. Can I ask your height and weight and if you think my pic looks like boobs on a stick??

I'm 5 ft 5 135 pounds. I went with 325s and probably could have gone smaller.. I was a b/c cup a few months after surgery, but now a year later i'm more like a c/d. You are super skinny ... the size in your pic looks great but you'll probably have trouble finding/wearing triangle bathing suits or going braless

I completely get this. I do not want large breasts I just want "better" breasts.

You're not showing your face. Why not bare all?

Well, I gave in to my docs expert opinion and had 300/325's put in. Amazingly, that makes me a 34B... Just what I was looking for!! They are super high and hard as a rock... And I'm feeling nauseous and out of sorts. I hope this is the worst of it!

Very similar story... 4 babies, 34A, and scared of being too big. I during my very brief sizing appt I told my surgeon I was worried 230 cc would be too big, so he implanted 200 cc. Big mistake! Way too small! You did the right thing.
March 21, 2013
Yeh, I think it worked out well to bring him a pic of what I wanted, and to not get too wrapped up in the numbers.. Don't get me wrong, these things are big and painful but I think they'll work out great, and so far I'm happy with the decision..

Just curious....are you considering going bigger someday?

March 21, 2013
Not really... Unless these have to come out and I need bigger to keep from sagging. I'm hoping this is the last op I go thru, but I know that's probably wishful thinking!
March 21, 2013
I spoke to my PS about my disappointment. He recommended I wait 6 months and see how I feel about it then. I was really hoping to have this all behind me by summer.

same here misty, my ps said that I can only go up to B cup from currently A cup...but he is a good doctor, so I guess he has his reasons.

You look wonderful! Congratulations! Are you feeling better the past few days?

March 21, 2013
Feeling MUCH better... I've definitely turned the corner!! Still lots of soreness, especially around the incision, but I'm off the pain killers.
March 21, 2013
Very nice. It doesn't even look like you had surgery.
March 21, 2013
Lol... That's because my breasts were non existent before!! I love that it's subtle.. I'm hoping that most people will just think I lost weight :)
March 21, 2013
It is subtle, but when I say it doesn't look like you had surgery I mean they look like they have settled fairly quick.
March 21, 2013
Yep, they are doing better than I expected.. They were high for the first couple days but are settling nicely. The right one (which has a bigger implant) is a little higher but I don't think it's noticeable.
March 21, 2013
No it's not noticeable at all.
March 21, 2013
You look amazing! At day 4 I was so swollen I could not have fit into my swimsuit!
