I went for my pre op today and I can't believe I'm actually going to do this. I'm having mixed feelings. Did anyone else feel like they were being selfish or vain? I'm really not happy with my breast now but should I just learn to love them?

Going to my pre op on Friday starting to get really excited! Will make all the final decisions size 450ccs is more than likely what I'll be going with and hp or ultra hp. Going to look at before and after pics before deciding on which implant to go with. Doc wants me to go with ultra hp but I'm feeling a little nervous about that. I just want a natural look. Can't wait till the 13th of June to start the healing process and the beginning of the new improved me.

I also wanted to go with mod + initially. After my consultation my PS recommended HP as well, I Could have gone with mod plus but it would have been a much smaller implant and after trying on mp sizers I did not
Like the look for me.
My BWD is 13 and narrow ribcage (29in I think). I trusted my surgeon and went with all her suggestions. I have no regrets, thy change SO much the first few weeks. I'm continuing to see change that I like. At first they were super high but finally they are starting to settle, I really need to update pics:-)
I ended up with 400 left/ 450 right HP silicone unders. Good luck!!

Hi Quad, we have similar stats I think:) my surgery is on the 11th June!! I am going for my pre op on Monday to finalize sizers, want to be a full C at the most so it is either going to be btw the 325cc or 350cc!

I am all scheduled for my surgery on June 13. Received the doctor packet with all the info and risks and now starting to feel nervous.
I'm 32 years old have 4 kiddos and breast fed all until they were 1. I'm 5'7 and about 130lbs. Me and my hubby have decided that 450cc would be perfect but at that size the doc wants me to go with a ultra high profile which makes me nervous because I don't want the projection to be so far out. My breast width is at about 12.5 and hoping I can get away with just the high profile. From looking at all of the pictures, I seem to like the moderate plus after photos the most. Any words of advice?

hi i had ultra high profile implants before my revision; they dont stickout as much as you think; ultra high is a narrow implant! i thpught the same as you as well; my high profile actually stick out more than the ultra high; if you want more of s natural look ypu should go with mods:

I want to go with the moderate plus but my ps thinks they may be too wide for me.

your right mods are pretty wide; they go great with someone who have hips to match them;

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! Good for you for breast feeding that many kids for so long. You really earned your procedure! ;) Will your husband be able to help out with the kiddos the first few days of recovery? Here is a list of things to do in preparation for your recovery. Looking forward to your updates!

Thank you. Yes, my husband will be able to help me I'm fortunate enough that he works from home. I also have 3 sisters and a mom who are super supportive and will be helping me.
