Hi! I'm 30 years old, 5'2, 120lbs. I use to be a 34b/c and content about my size. Then I had 2 children, now 4 and 18 months, and breastfed for a total of 2 years. I've lost all my volume and now measure 34a/b. My husband, we have been together almost 10 years, says I'm perfect and I don't need surgery but he is supportive of my decision. I just want my confidence back. Anyway, In March I made the decision I wanted the surgery. I called the PS office and they had a cancellation and I was scheduled a consultation that week! I did no research prior to the appointment, didn't have "wish boob pictures", I just knew I wanted silicone "natural, more volume" breasts. When the Doctor started talking about cc size it totally freaked me out. His first recommendation was 400cc. That seemed HUGE to me. I do not want big obvious fake implants and that was what 400cc sounded like to me. So we settled at 300cc silicone under the muscle surgery scheduled for May. I don't even know if his plans were HP or moderate, didn't even know there were different implants, I thought they were all the same lol. I was excited for surgery and was sad it was so far away. But, it has been a blessing. After leaving my appointment, I googled 300cc implants to get an idea of what I was getting (at the consultation the did not have me try on sizers or offer 3D imaging I've seen on some reviews). That was when I found this website and have viewed many profiles and looked at hundreds of pictures. I'm so glad I found this site! After viewing 300-450cc pictures I know I want bigger and would have been disappointed with 300cc. I called the PS office last week and scheduled an appointment in 2 weeks to talk about changing the size now that I feel I have done adequate research and have a better understanding of what I want. I'm hoping to go somewhere between 400-435cc. Getting more excited, I can't wait for my next appointment, and my surgery will be just 4 weeks after that!

Good luck w ur upcoming surgery I'm a little after u are I'm the 23rd! The CC decision will drive u crazy! I'm going with smooth HP mentor unders still haven't decided on CCs yet! :/

Thank you! I have scheduled an appointment for this Friday to talk about changing the size and other pre/post concerns I have. A lady I know had a tummy tuck and breast augmentation (by a different surgeon) last week and had complications 3 days later and is ICU on a ventilator. I completely freaked out. I know their are risks to every surgery and this is an elective procedure. I went back and forth for a few days on canceling my surgery. I'm hoping after my appointment on Friday I will be confident in having surgery again. Good luck to you Love2714!

OMG that's AWEFUL to hear about the lady u know!! Wow is she ok now?! I'm only doing 1 surgery I'm too chicken to do more than 1 at a time!! lol

April 13, 2016
I know so scary! She is responding to some commands (blink your eyes, wiggle your toes) the hospital is saying she developed a pulmonary embolism. I guess it's a blood clot that goes to your lung. I'm not sure how they think she will be long term.

I would recommend go for a bigger size. You sound just like me when I booked my 1st surgery. I didn't know nothing about profile , or CC. I said I just want boobs lol. I wish I have done some research at the time. I may could have gotten UHP and done with it. Your surgery is around the Conner. I'm excited for you.

April 24, 2016
Thank you! I ended up going in for a second consultation to increase size. He recommended 385 hp. At first I was ok with this (since it was bigger than the 300 we previously decided) but now I am wanting 415 minimum with possibly up to 450. I don't have another appointment until the day of my surgery so I'm hoping we can increase the size that day. I'm so excited to be on this journey and it's amazing to have so much input and support from other women in the same situation. Only my husband knows I'm doing this so its so nice to be able to talk to all you ladies! Only 18 days!!!!

April 24, 2016
Did he tell you he would bring bigger size implants to OR room ?? I hope you can go bigger too. I rather have them little too big than too small. Do you know your BWD ? What brand implants are you getting ??

April 24, 2016
He didn't mention bringing in bigger sizes. I was just hoping to talk to him about it when I get there. I will call his office tomorrow and tell them I'm wanting bigger than what we discussed and see if I can change my size the day of surgery. I don't know my BWD. I'm getting Natrelle Inspira I believe.

April 24, 2016
I also called my Dr after picked 325cc. That's why he brought 350cc to OR. Pls call them , don't hurt to ask. Thats great you are getting Inspira. That's new implants and I want that for my revision. Can't wait to see what size up he would let you to have.

April 25, 2016
Well I called my ps and told him I was wanting to go bigger. At my last appointment we agreed on 385 for my R and 410 for my L. He told me today the implant I'm getting goes from size 410 to 450 and there isn't a size in between. He wants to keep the sizes as they are. Im kinda upset. I know anything will be better than what I have but I really hope I don't end up feeling they are to small.

April 25, 2016
I would be upset too !!! I know 385 is not a small implants but as you know we all get boob greed. Is there significant difference in your breasts ?? My left was bigger than right but my Dr used the same implants. He said if he try to fix it then I may notice more.

April 26, 2016
You can tell but it's not bad. I'm considering doing the 410 in both and just having one a little bigger lol. I try to post a pic later. My husband doesn't want me putting any pictures up, but that's what helps the most.

April 26, 2016
I realize there is only 25cc different. If you see every answer from Dr , they all said you can't tell at all. You also can tell my left slightly bigger but no one can tell with clothes on. I can understand if it's a huge difference that need 50cc or more. You can post questions for Dr to get different options. My 1st consultation dr recommend use different size too. Before that I didn't know my left was bigger. All it said you may happy with the same size on both breast.

Boobie Day!!!
The day is finally here yay!! I'm so nervous! I've been taking 1000mg Vitamin C twice a day for a week and I started my antibiotic two days ago. I go in 1 hr and I have no clue what size I'm getting. We had agreed on 385 R and 410 L for assymetry on my last visit. About a week after that, I called my ps office and told them I felt I may be going too small and didn't want to regret not going bigger. So I asked for them to also take 425 and 450. I'm getting silicone HP. I'm 5'2 120lbs 34a. I'll update you ladies tonight or tomorrow depending on how I'm feeling tonight lol. I'm finally posting before pics but I don't feel comfortable posting nude pics so this is me with a sz small sports bra.

The other side!
Hello ladies! I was supposed to be there at 1030 but he was still in his previous case so we had to wait in the lobby a little over half an hour before the could get me going. I did my urine pregnancy test and then they had me change into a gown and gave me a Valium. The dr came in a little after that and drew on me. The nurse came back and started my Iv and walked me to OR room. I really don't remember anything after that. We got to leave around 1 pm. So the whole thing was pretty quick. I was so out of it and apparently kept asking my his author same questions over and over. Poor guy. It was. 2 hour drive home and I was doing ok until the last 30 mins. My pain was horrible. I took one of my pain pills and then through it up about 10 min later :( I didn't want to take anymore though just in case. So 4 hours later, going in and out of sleep I'm finally able to take another pain pil and muscle relaxer. I have been iceing them for 20 min every 20 mins and that does feel good. It hurts so bad to breathe and I can't move my arms at all without horrible pain. I hope that goes away soon. My husband has been so amazing. He is feeding me and taking complete care of me. I'm so happy with all the staff and my PS. They are all so friendly and great. When he was drawing me up I asked about 425/450 and he said he felt the would be way to big for my body so I trust him and we went with the 385/410. I really hope these will give me my wish boobs. But what ever they end up looking like, it will be better than what I had. Thank you ladies for the prayers and well wishes. And best of luck to the ladies getting theirs done soon!

Omg sorry for all the mistakes! Still out of it!

May 13, 2016
Have you got any post op pics at all? I go in this Wednesday and I'm freaking out I've chosen too big. Going for 400cc.

May 13, 2016
Just this one so far. They told me to leave it all on until my follow up at 8 am. So I will try to post better pictures tomorrow.

May 13, 2016
Congrats! They will be perfect I'm sure! No worries on the typos. We all understand

May 13, 2016
Thank you! Your surgery is tomorrow right? I'll keep you in my prayers. I really like their size right now and would be excited if they get a little bigger as they drop and fluff. I'm hoping there's not just a lot of swelling and they get smaller.
May 13, 2016
Waiting to get drawn on right now. We get to recover together! Thank you for your thoughts and prayers. I am very nervous so I appreciate them all.

May 13, 2016
Oh Hun you will do great! I was so nervous and scared and it was all a piece of cake. Doe me the first 12 hours were the worst.
So glad you found RealSelf before your surgery! It sounds like your doctor's original suggestion was right on target. You might enjoy talking with some other May 2016 breast augmentation surgery members on this forum. Keep us posted as your prepare for your surgery!
