Hi VirginiaLee! I have very similar stats as you, I am 5'6 34/32A , 127LBS. I am 2 weeks post-op and healing very well! I was very nervous about being too big! I can remember telling my PS that I wanted to be a full B/small C, I did not want it to be obvious, but I just wanted boobs!!
I know wish I emphasized the "SMALL-MID C" more. My PS suggested that I could go bigger given my frame, I have very prominent, lean shoulders. He said he would bring along 300CC, 325CC and 350CC Mentor Silicone gel. I left the office after trying on all of the sizers, and decided 300CC. I also believe I even said I wanted a moderate profile, so the implant sat lower, not too high and looked natural.
The day of my surgery, I printed out pictures of what I wanted (actually one of them was Jensoconcerned, who is actually on here!). I highly suggest you do this. I also brought along a picture of what I thought was too small. I ended up wanting to be bigger as I was walking into surgery. He agreed and said he was glad! You have to remember that they will be smaller once under the muscle.
While in surgery, he decided to go with the 339CC Natrelle Style 15 (Similar to Mentor Midrange plus profile), Inframm. incision, given my measurements/dimensions. My left breast is smaller, so we went with a 371CC. Incision was healed and closed within two days.
I still cannot determine my final size, but I sure cannot complain! Of COURSE I could have gone bigger but I am happy. I often forget what I originally wanted once I look at these websites because A LOT of people do desire the bigger boobs, 500CC+. Not too small, not too big. It would have been very disappointing if I went any smaller. It seems as though I will be a small, maybe even Mid C. Trust your PS.
Thank you! I really appreciate it! Believe it or not, I also spent a good chunk of time reading your story pre-op and it helped A LOT, so thanks for sharing as well!
Thank you, I truly appreciate the comments! Today is day 2 post-op and I am a lot more sore!!! I have some pre-op pictures that I took that just need to be uploaded, and I plan on taking post-op pics tomorrow, just resting for now though. I will be sure to post them! Thank you again for all of your kind words and encouragement!
Hi!! So I am a couple hours post-op, I should be sleeping, I am very tired but it is like myself to try and fight it!!! I am not the type to "relax"--I really don't know how!!! I ended up with 340CC (right) and 370CC in the left, didn't realize what a difference in size there was with my breasts!! I need to post before and after pictures, too tired now, but will do tomorrow. I cannot tell you enough how much this site helped me!! Amazing.
The surgery overall was more than great!!!! It went very well. My PS came up to me once I was coming off the drugs in recovery and said he was "astounded" after seeing my tissue---he said it says a lot about someone , that I must have REALLY good genes, & that I will never age!! I'll take that!! My boyfriend said I replied, "I get it from my MAMA!" He also said that I acted as if nothing happened.
Once again, had no idea why I was worried, I know my body, and you would be surprised as well, how strong our bodies are.
Thank you for all of the comments, very much appreciated! I will try and post pictures as well. Also, do not be fooled---that is a "Add two cup sizes" Victoria's Secret swimsuit I have on! I am definitely a SMALL A...also I exaggerated with the height, used to be 5'7, somehow I shrunk to 5'6 1./2!! :0)
My BA is tomorrow morning at 9:00 AM. I am excited but also very nervous/worried!! I am still on the fence with 325CC or 350CC...(Silicone Mentor Under muscle) I definitely do not want to be above a small C, but also do not want to be dissapointed being too small --- I guess I will just have to trust my PS!
