WORTH IT
I have been reviewing everyone's experiences and they have provided me with great insight so I have decided to share my experience in hopes it will help others decide what's best for them. I am 42 years old, 5'4, 135lbs, 36B, 14bwd. I have had my consultation will my PS on 02/17/16 and am excited to have scheduled my procedure for April 29th. I am going with 450cc moderate plus silicone with an anchor lift. I originally considered 500cc but was concerned about them dropping and don't want to be too big. I have scheduled a second appt. for April 4th to go over the sizing again with my PS to be sure of this decision. I will post before photos soon. Thanks to all who have posted, they have been helpful. My hubby says I am addicted to this site!!!!

Hi Readyforclevage , I would pick size between 500 and 450cc. Honestly , I think you can handle 500cc. You are tall and have some Breast tissue. If you worry about sagging later then 450 or 475 is good for you. Do you have any pics with 450 sizers ??
March 20, 2016
Hey :) thanks so much for your comment! I didn't take any pictures when I tried on the sizers at my appt... ): what was I thinking. Haha but, I am going back on the 4th to retry them on... Here's my dilemma I love the way hp looks but with my Bwd I would have to go with 550 cc to get hp. Or I have the option of doing 450 or 475 moderate plus. My Bwd is 14. 475 is exactly 14 and 550 hp and 450 moderate plus is 13.6. Lol i have no idea. I just don't want them to sag but be full :-)

Oh and I checked out your profile! Yours turned out amazing!!! :)

Go with 475cc !!! Are you getting Natralle or Mentor ?? I would go the size fit your BWD. I'm scare of 550 cc lol. Sounds a lot to me. At least you are lucky to have wider BWD. You have so many options to choose from. I didn't see wish pics. Do you fullness upper pole ???

Thank you for your sweet compliment
March 20, 2016
Thank you so much for your advice! :) I really appreciate it! I probably will go with 475 mp :) I go back in on the 4th to get measured again to be sure and pick the size. It is good to get advice from someone else. I really haven't told many people, and I am driving my husband insane talking about it all the time! ;)

Good morning! I'm curious to know how you've been the past few days? How was the transition? Hope all is well
May 6, 2016
Hey april_2016_. I am doing so much better. Thank you!
May 6, 2016
Omg it only took part of my response
May 6, 2016
I am so much better now that I am off of pain meds and am getting around much better. I have to go back to the dr to have the surgical tape changed around the incisions from my lift. Mine are still sitting high. I can't wait for them to drop and fluff. And, I am hoping they will let me stop wearing these compression socks! they are a pain in the butt to wear, and my hubby struggles everyday after my shower helping me get them back on. lol. How are u doing? Are you loving the size? Are yours still high too or are they dropping? Hope you are doing well too! Xoxo
May 6, 2016
That's so good to hear! They are dropping (I say that with restraint) because there dropping as slow as molasses. It's very minimum as far as I can see. I'm doing so much better. More Mobile. My driving skills are getting better lol I'm officially 14 days post op so I am going to post later this evening. And I'll make sure to do comparison photos as well. Just waiting for the dropping and fluffing. They are getting softer I can definitely say that. I'm so happy to hear your off those awful pain medicines. Continue to heal well. Xoxo
May 6, 2016
Yay glad you are doing so well and driving! I can't wait to see your pics! I bet they look awesome! Continue to heal well too! Xoxo

Here are my sad 42 yr olds after 3 kids ; 36 B

Readyforcleavage_
So I really didn't want to post a before pic... ): But, I feel like it really helps when I am reading everyone else's review to see before and after pics to see if they are a similar size to me starting out... Maybe my review will help someone out too! :) So here are my stats again... I am currently in a 36 B, 5'4, 14 Bwd, 135 lbs... I am hoping to lose another 8 lbs before my surgery scheduled on April 29th! I am so excited for that day to come! I have always wanted bigger breast for twenty years, but didn't really think about BA until now that my children are older... I am thinking of going with 450 cc Silicone moderate plus and I am getting a lift... That is the hardest part I think is deciding on what size to go with... I have been on this site so much reading everyone's reviews and looking at before and after pics... I am nervous because I don't want them to be too small or too big... Lol... I originally had decided on 500 cc but recently changed my mind to 450cc... Thank you everyone for all your reviews! They have really helped me and have given me an idea of what to expect with surgery! Count down is on! Hurry up April 29th!!! :)

Thanks so much for posting! I'm near Atlanta too and trying to make my decision on which PS to go with. It's not easy! I have a consultation scheduled with Dr. Colgrove because I saw his incredible reviews on this site. I've already been to 4 consultations but really wanted to see him too, if possible. Can you tell me more about why you decided to go with Dr. Colgrove and what his practice is like?
February 27, 2016
I picked Dr. Colgrove based on all his excellent reviews. I searched for months online and decided to set up a consultation up with him. His office is very nice and the staff is great! I also liked how they had the 3 d imaging that gives you an idea of what you might look like with what size implant you pick. When I went to my consult the lobby was very packed which also gave me the indication how many people have picked him! :) But, even though they were very busy they take the time you need and I did not feel rushed. When I spoke with the nurse she said that BA was what he did mostly. I just felt comfortable with him and his staff. Oh and he also was running specials ;)

Thank you for sharing your story. Do you know if your implants will be placed under or over the muscle?
