Finally doing something for me. I am 5'7"and about 150lbs. I have a very tiny waist for my frame. I also have larger hips. Three kids and breastfeeding really changes your body. I really like having bigger hips and a small waist. However, I breastfed and lost any boobs that I had. I am maybe a 38b. I am really stressing about the amount of CC's I should get. Based on my body frame the doctor has recommended 500 cc's (saline). Is this too big? I have a friend who had surgery done and she is regretting that she didn't get them big enough. If anyone with similar dimensions has any advice, it would be greatly appreciated. Less than a week to go and I am so excited. Desperately seeking advice.

I am 5'6 and weigh 143. Mother of 3 with smaller waist and wider hips. I ap 3 weeks post up with a 500 cc silicone gel implant. Naturelle brand style 20. I love my choice! At first they felt huge with the swelling but now that they are starting to settle and go down, I am so glad I chose the 500! You can check my pics out on my profile if you are interested in seeing how they look.

I saw your pics. You look great. I am still a little worried about the size. Ugh! My husband said to go smaller. He doesn't want my boobs to look fake. I know the boobs settle but not sure how much. Sleepless in Colorado...

I am still very early out from surgery so they still have some dropping and fluffing yet. They are really starting to feel softer and more like mine :) I was stuck between a 450 and the 500. Everyone I know that has had it said go with the bigger if your between two sizes, so I did. Post op day 1 they felt HUGE but now that the swelling is going down and they are settling in, I picked the right size. My advice is do the sizers and choose what size YOU feel comfortable in. And then don't second guess it ;)

May I add, looking at your pre op photo I really think the 500 will give you a nice, full breast. I didn't want to look over the top, to big, or fake. I feel the 500 achieved the full, feminine loom I was going for!

I can't wait to send post op pics. If my adult son knew I had posted my boobs on a site he would be mortified. Lol!!!

If that's what you felt comfortable in, choose it! We know our bodies and how we feel better then anyone else :)

Omg I feel the same way about posting my pics. However, i know how major this was for me, so if it helps someone else out!

Mine is under the breast. Healing very well. She has it tucked very well. I just added my pre op photo so you can now see the difference.

I am 5'8" and about 155lbs. I have always been athletic with broad shoulders and a overall "medium" body frame. I was always rather small chested and having a baby definitely did a number as well. I never ever felt like I was proportioned well. I got 500cc mentor silicone high profile implants on June 8th and am beyond happy! Go with your surgeons recommendations. If your surgeon is anything like mine then they really do know their stuff when it comes to recommending proportions that are appropriate for what your body looks like now and the look you are going for after.
Good luck and I hope you love your results no matter what you choose.

I am still freaking out about the size. I have been obsessed since I started this whole process. I called the doctor today and I am going in on Wednesday again to try on sizers. I just want to make sure I'm doing the right thing. She comes highly recommended so I trust that she will have the ladies look natural. I am hoping by going and trying on the sizers again it will calm me down. I'm also hoping that it will confirm my decision.

Do another round of sizers and follow your gut what you think it right! Try not to stress to much about the number and just go with what look you feel comfortable with!

Had the surgery yesterday
After I went to try on the sizers again I was still undecided. However, the PA insisted that 500cc's would be the right size for my body type and frame. The doctor indicated but she would make me look like I wanted to in the pictures I gave her. I trust her. I have included some pics of the morning before I had my surgery in my sports bra and yoga pants so you could get a little idea of what I look like before. No boobs. I will take a similar picture when I get my bandages off. I have one post op picture but I am in bandages. As soon as I get the bandages off I will include more pics. She ended up putting in 505 in one and 510 in the other. I feel great. Threw up a little yesterday but by early evening I felt great. I also feel really good today. I am a little sore almost like when your engorged when you're breastfeeding. I really don't feel like I need the Percocet but I'm going to go ahead and take it through today. I can't wait to see my boobs without the bandages. Right now they don't look so big. I will send you an update as soon as I have one.

I took the bandages off today. My boobs look great. Not too big, not to small (maybe a bit). I took my bandages off and included that pic and some with the sports bra I had on pre-surgery.
What is your current cup and what cup would like to be? I'm started at 400 cc first then went into 475cc and now I'm getting 550cc.. A large 34DD I hope ! My first doctor informed me I had to start off smaller and build up. Because back in 2000, I was weight only 106 at 5'4. Now at 49 yrs old, I put on my middle age healthily weight. 138 pounds.. So I understand it all depends on our body shape, size, and weight. I'm sure you'll look amazing once done your way!! Keep in touch ...Kelly
