WORTH IT
After years of wanting a breast augmentation, I finally saved the money and took the plunge. Naturally, I was very anxious about the process but knew how badly I wanted to have it done. I have a petite frame (5'5 110 lbs) and was worried about how implants would impact my active lifestyle. I went with 255cc silicone, Allergan Inspira under the muscle and am thrilled by how natural the results look. They are the perfect size and I would not have gone any larger/smaller. I started a 32A/B in Victoria's Secret and am now a 32D there. I chose the inframammary crease incision because I wanted to make sure I would be able to breastfeed in the future and minimize the risk of capsular contracture.

Throughout the process I had a very hard time finding other women who chose smaller implants so if anyone has any questions, feel free to message me!

Wow, the result is really beautiful. I can only hope mine looks just as good. I've also had the same problem finding people with smaller implants. I am looking at 255cc. My op is scheduled for the 15th of June. Less than a week. I have been freaked out about a lot of things from capsular contraction to infection. But lately my biggest concern is recovery. How was you pain levels post op?
June 9, 2016
The first three days I was pretty sore, but honestly they were kind of a blur. At day 4 my pain level was probably a 3/10. I've been managing with Tylenol and bounced back REALLY quickly. Still taking it easy (I fatigue easily), but overall I have been shocked by how easy the recovery has been.

Thanks so much for the reply. I will be following your recovery and your experience as a whole. Thanks for sharing and hope you feel 100% real soon.

Hi....i am so glad i finally see 255 ccs! That's what i will be having in August.
I was so concerned about not making much off a difference...but it clearly does!
They are looking very nice and natural.
Hope you are recovering well.. Do you feel it is already dropping? And what profile did you choose?
Thanks!
June 18, 2016
There wasn't much dropping that even needed to happen. If you choose an appropriately sized implant and have a good surgeon, your implants should look good (aside from swelling) immediately after surgery. I expect a little bit of volume redistribution to the bottom, but mine never really needed to "drop"

I've been searching for other girls who have gone for a smaller size! I am 5'4 118 lbs want to have a more natural look like yours, wondering if you got anatomical or round and what profile?
June 18, 2016
The were smooth, round, mod+. I'm glad I didn't get anatomical! They can look kind of odd if not placed correctly. They also don't feel as soft.

Thank you!! I'm finding the same. I'm going to go between a 295 and 325. I want very natural but I do have lost volume to fill after breast feeding. Your size is great!! I'm doing mine in August.
June 18, 2016
Good luck! Hope your recovery is as easy as mine has been and let me know if you have any questions!

What profile did you get? Moderate or high?

I've been thrilled with how they look! Had a follow-up appointment and said I can expect to see the bottom filling out slightly, but there shouldn't be too much change. Swelling is gone and I've felt great. The only snag in my recovery has been that I fatigue very easily. I can walk on the treadmill for about 40 minutes or go to the grocery store, but then I need a rest. Avoiding lifting things is hard. I had a small thrombosis (Mondor's cord) that comes on whenever I'm wearing a surgical bra that is too tight. Pressing on it and warm compresses have helped.
Overall they feel very squishy and look natural!

I experienced mondors cord also and was miserable. Thank goodness it didn't last very long!
By the way, you are healing beautifully! Very natural looking :)

Tried on a couple real bras again (of course not wearing them until I get approval), but fun to see!
