WORTH IT$4,100
I met with two other surgeons before finally meeting "the one"! I was sold on another but she moved before I got around to scheduling.
I have 2 children and breastfed each so dealing with a huge volume loss. I've known I wanted to have this done since I went from a full B (pre kids) to a DD (while pregnant/nursing), to a small deflated A cup! I want to regain the shape I used to have...then some :)
Im 5'9" 116lbs with a chest measurement of 12. I was leaning toward 350cc but after my consult was told that 400 is a better number based on my height. I definitely don't want to get caught up on the numbers and plan to leave it to the professionals! I met the doctor last week and loved everything about her/the staff/the office so scheduled for the 31st of this month!!

Awesome work! I am currently searching for a surgeon as well. Can you go into detail about your experience? Did you get a lift too?

No lift needed! The extra skin lifted and was filled with the volume from implants

The office called yesterday so now I'm scheduled for my appointment to finalize the size implants I want and my pre and post op appointments are set!
She said that next Monday (a week and 2 days) before the procedure is the final chance to order the implants! I'm freaking out now! Everything is so final...
I am really unsure on the size I need to get to be the size I want. I'll post my wish boobs now ;)

Hi there, I just read your post and would like to offer a few suggestions if i may. I am 8 days post op and doing great! I took my time researching and went into my pre op appt with 3 pages of questions, (some of which were answered in the stack of papers you will read and sign before surgery).I also brought unclothed wish/goal photos, with front views and also side views as I wanted to stress the importance of the natural but full look and natural slope I was hoping too achieve. I also took photos of what I did NOT want to end up with. Every question was answered and the photos proved to be extremely useful in assuring we were on the same page as terms like "natural" and "full" and "fake looking" are very subjective. Those photos were also added to my file and in the OR on surgery day as my PS requested. I highly suggest doing that so your PS knows your specific goal and can apply your measurements and anatomical proportions to making a final decision. Which brings me to one more point. From your post it sounds like you're having to decide on a precise size prior to surgery. In my case, our discussions and photos helped us to come to a specific range that we agreed upon to achieve my goal. In the OR there was a healthy range of implants on hand for my PS to choose from based on my actual proportions revealed during surgery. He also sat me in an upright position as part of the procedure and that too is very important. In my case, I ended up with HP 385cc on the left and 415cc on the right. If he only had a pair of predetermined sizes on hand my particular anatomical differences could not have been addressed. I wish you a smooth, healthy and beautiful journey and outcome!! You can take or leave anything I've offered as I just wanted to share. If you'd like a copy of my zillion questions, let me know and I'll forward them. Have a splendid day!!! =)

That is so helpful!! Thanks a ton!
I've shown my photos and discussed fake vs natural but you're totally right that it's all subjective. I'll be sure to print the photos and have them on hand. I'll also ask about the procedure followed in the OR as far as various sizes and sitting me up. All amazing points!
How is your healing going?

Terrific, thank you! Just saw my PS this morning and he is very pleased with my progress thus far. I had specific concerns about the HP implants and how"unnatural" I look right now, granted I'm only 8 days out and still have swelling of course. Once again, every question answered and he also explained that because of my strong pec muscles, (I work out with weights and also am a massage therapist), my implants may ride high a bit longer but that they will indeed settle in and fill in my lower poles and sides very nicely....whew!!! I knew that was likely the case but I just wanted to hear him tell me why and what I can expect. One more thing, I learned about Jenny Eden's Boobie Butter and Scar Salve from someone else's post. I love it and highly suggest you order some do you can start using the BB pre Op. If you read my posts I've included pics of the products as well as my pre and post op journey thus far. Would you like me to send you the questions i brought to the pre Op appt?

hi I'm almost exactly the same stats and situation as you - did u tell PSwhat cup size you're aiming for, or just a general look? I chose the 415 HP Inspiras but I'm thoroughly second guessing and panicking that they'll look circus large on me!! I only want to be a large C, def not a D. So I'm really one second away from a call (& a sizable change fee) to the nurse to switch to the 385's. Just wanted to hear your story about how you chose the 400's. Thanks so much and best of luck Hun!! =)

Hi! I show her photos and definitely explained that I wanted to look a certain way in clothes and how I did not want to look in clothes. I wear a size 0 or xs and don't want to be in a medium just to fit boobs!
I also don't want to walk into a room and have boobs seem to enter first...
I want a large C not the look of a D BUT she explained that cup size and band size go hand in hand so I need to not focus on a cup size and help her understand the look I like instead. I am only 28" around my ribs so I will most like be a 30D based on measurements alone. But most people don't really understand bra sizing and base it off Victoria Secret which is crap. Try this calculator and plug some numbers in

Ok, anyway... I have been stressing like crazy so at the end of the day I told my PS to tell me what she though and she said to do 400 extra high profile. 350 is too small for my height to have a noticeable difference that will make me happy and that will give me lift! 375ish will be ok but then I may as well go to 400. I shouldn't go over that because I'm so narrow and it'll be moving outside of the aesthetic I'm aiming for.
We went with extra high profile because with a BWD measurement of 12, rib cage of 28, and breast measurement of 30 the high profile looked like it was in my arm pit!
When are you scheduled for???
August 24, 2016
Sorry I should've clarified, a 34C (or 32D) but don't want to be a full D (meaning 34D). I know most women err on the side of larger but my goal was a full C, just to replace the tissue I lost. Although I already have dozens of 34C bras, it's more about the overall look, and like you said - not wanting my boobs to wear me, and esp not looking top heavy and having to buy totally different clothes to accommodate.
Ultimately I haven't been comfortable with my decision since I made it - I had to do it on the fly, after literally the worst morning I've had in a decade. so I know my head just wasn't there. I'm just going to eat the fee I guess and change. I'm so glad you're getting the look you want with the 400's!! I looked at the UHP also but just wasn't right for my situation - I'm sure they'll look beautiful on you though!! Thanks for sharing your story, I really appreciate it!!
I'm scheduled for end of next wk also!! Definitely keep me updated on your progress, we can help each other thru!!!

If you aren't comfortable change the size for sure!!! You don't want to do something so major and have regrets. I knew that if it came down to it, I'd rather be slightly more conservative. Being so thin I don't want to look cartoonish!
I'll keep up with your journey! I go in on the 31st and really hoping for a smooth recovery especially since I have kiddos

I'm starting at almost exactly where you are in shape/size, w same stats. I'm getting mine done next wk also, We can help each other thru!! Definitely want to see your results! I'm terrified of going over 400, but chose the Inspira HP 415's for now - that or the 385. I want took back today to try them on again bc I'm def not confident in my decision. Biggest fear is going too large, not too small. Wishing you the best outcome and a smooth recovery!! Keep in touch and let me know how it goes Hun!! =)
August 25, 2016
Thanks so much! We definitely have the same fears. I was torn finally between 375 extra HP and 400 extra HP so let my surgeon decide and 400 is what she picked.
Did you do the vector imaging?

Glad you found the ideal doctor for your surgery! It's quite common for taller women to get slightly larger implants so it sounds like you're on the right track. Good luck...you're almost there!
