Two weeks after my breast Augmentation and I am very happy with my results. I am a very petite woman 5 2" and 93 pounds. After breast feeding my children my breast became a very deflated and very flat A cup. I waited a year hoping I would gain a cup size, that never happened; before having children I was a C cup. I read quite a bit of reviews and did quite a bit of research before deciding to get breast augmentation and decided to post pictures of my operation to help others who are contemplating breast augmentation. I am a very petite woman and wanted my new breast to be in proportion to my petite frame. I did not want it to be noticeable, except to me,that I had breast augmentation done. My husband was supportive of my decision even though he believed my breasts looked fine. I did this for me. I received 300CC high profile silicone implants. I had initially wanted moderate plus implants but because I have such a tiny frame my Dr. recommended high profile implants. Truth be told, I am glad I took his recommendation. It has only been two weeks but so far I am more than happy with the results.

Congratulations on getting your breasts back! I'm glad you and your doctor were able to determine the best size for your petite body frame. Did you have any help with your children the first few days of your recovery? Looking forward to seeing more pictures as you continue to heal!

Thanks goodness for all the wonderful help you had. Don't jump into your daily routine too quickly!

You look great! I have been debating between 260cc-300cc and I'm afraid of 300s looking too big on me. I'm a petite 5'3" and 101 lbs. Yours look great, exactly how I want mine!! So I'm sure they wont be too big on me if they look great on you. hmm hmm

Thank you Mommy of Two. So far,I am happy with the 300cc implants. No one has noticed that I had a breast augmentation so far and I don't mind that one bit. I mainly wear slightly fitted t shirts but know that I can accentuate my breasts if I chose to wear more form fitting or lower cut tops. I send you well wishes for your upcoming surgery. :)

Thank you teenytiny!! This makes me more confident going with the 300cc, rather than under and risk being too small! :D

You look great. Can you let me know what is your BWD? Thanks!

Hi KatTT133. I am embarrassed to admit this but I can not remember what my BWD was. I received 350-3004BC Smooth Round High Profile Gel implants. The diameter of these implants is 11.1cm with a projection of 4.5cm. I will ask my Dr. what my BWD was and get back to you.

I have the exact same implants :) I had an instant where I thought maybe I should have gone bigger, but after seeing your profile and several others, I am confident my dr and I made the right choice. We have similar stats - I am 5'2", 110 lbs at time of surgery, very fit. I do wish I would have stopped chest workouts a month prior to surgery, bc these babies are tight! Did you do a lot of breast massage?

Hello there! Sorry I did not answer you sooner but I did not see this on my feed. Funnily enough my doctor said that I did not need to do any massaging. I stopped wearing the band after two weeks per his directions as well. Thank you for sharing. I was scouring this site looking for someone that had my same proportions and the same size cc's. You look like you are healing nicely. :)

I was exactly the same! I wanted nothing more than mod plus but my tiny chest wall couldn't fit mod plus! He gave me an option of going down volume to fit the mod + but I know so many women who want to go bigger after a while so I was very hesitant to go too small! I am 6 days post op and I feel like they are too big for my frame now though :( feel like I should have gone 276 mod + how much did your swelling go down? Did they drop a lot? I'm slowly getting use to them in a bra but without it I still freak out about how big they are! I'm similar size to you 4'11 / 5" and around the 90 pound mark. Do you think i'm going to be happy with my result????

My swelling did go down. At first I thought I made a mistake because they were so high and pointy but after a week or so I noticed they started to drop and not look so pointy. I am super happy with how they have dropped and I think they look natural. I'm sure you'll be happy with your size and I bet you'll get a natural looking C. My concern was going to big but I also did not want to spend all that money and regret going too small. I'll check on your page for your updates. :)

On the third, I will have had my breast implants for one month. My soreness and pain has subsided significantly. Occasionally, my chest muscles will feel a bit sore but that does not last very long. I am now able to sleep on my side comfortably and I can sleep through the night. My breasts are dropping nicely and they are feeling squishier by the day. The left one is a bit more high and firm than the right but as the month has passed I have noticed it is dropping and getting squishier too. Thus far, I am quite happy with my results and will be seeing my Dr. on the 14th of July for a check up.

May I ask how you felt after? It's my 4th day after surgery and new to this site, glad I found it. It hurts a lot to move my right arm and is very swollen still. I've been applying ice packs but still see no change. I'm also very petite 5"0, 96lbs, and got 339cc silicone implants.

For the most part I did ok. I was able to drive by the third day. However, my right side was more sore than my left and once I was ok'd to not wear the surgical bra I just went without one because it felt more comforatable for me. Try to take it easy if you can and let your body rest.

:( turns out I had a hematoma and I had to go back to surgery. Due to that I'm scared although there isn't any more pain, I'm still a bit swollen and very sore from my ribs. 2nd surgery was on the 22nd and I'll see my Dr on Thursday. Hoping everything is much better this time around. What an experience this has been.

Getting squishier and starting to drop

Just wanted to give an update on my boobies. I have noticed that the skin on my breasts are starting to peel a bit; almost like I have a sunburn. I put cocoa butter on them regularly and that helps with the dryness. Occasionally, my right breast still has the zingers but they are not as painful anymore. My incisions still tend to get sore from time to time. I am able to squish my breasts together now! My left breast is a bit more firm than my right. I received some gift cards from VS and am so ready to buy new bras. What a bummer that I have to wait a few more weeks.

How did you decide about high vs mod profile? That's the final decision I'm struggling with, my surgery is in 12 days!
User Avatar
July 22, 2014
I had to trust my surgeon and his recommendation that high profile would be better for my small frame. My rib cage is quite small. His concern was that if I went with moderate plus, even under the muscle, it could be a likely possibility that the edge of the implant could be seen. I did not want to take that risk. The high proile on me gives me a perky youthful appearance without wearing a bra. They used to look like this before I breast feed two babies! Don't be afraid to ask your plastic surgeon lots of questions.
