I just got back from my consultation with Dr. Kerr! He explained the procedure and risks. It was all really straight forward and Dr. Kerr was so nice and informative. The consultation lasted about 45 minutes all together.
He took my measurements and said that I would look great between 375cc and 400cc. My right breast is slightly bigger, which I've kinda noticed before, but it never bothered me. He mentioned that he may place a larger implant in my right breast to correct the asymmetry, but it won't ever be perfect. That's not really a big deal, considering my breasts now never really bothered me, I actually thought it was kinda funny. I texted my boyfriend telling him that my right breast is bigger and he said, "lol. i know" haha!
Then the fun part! I got to try on sizers. I had gone to a pre-consultation appointment with Dr. Kerr's patient coordinator, Vlasta, before and I had tried on a few different sizes and decided on 400cc. I loved them! She took pictures that day, and I do like the way they look. But today I had second thoughts on the size. I know the difference between 375cc and 400cc isn't that significant, but I don't want to look huge, or bigger than I really am when I'm wearing loose fitting clothing because my breasts are bigger. I think I'll stick with the 375cc. My pre-op appointment is on July 27th and my surgery date is August 13th! I have time to change my mind about the sizes. I'm so excited!
I'm 5'4" and my weight typically varies between 120-124. I guess I'm a 34b, but I've never been measured before, so I think that's wishful thinking. ;) Any one else out there with similar stats? I'd love to get opinions from people who have a similar body shape. Do y'all think 400cc would be way too big?
Also, I just realized that I didn't think to ask what profile I would fit. I assume moderate plus, but I'll double check. :)

I meant to say that I may get a larger implant in my right breast-- not my left since it's already slightly larger. ;)
May 13, 2015
lol. I did it again, I obviously need to relearn my left from my right. I meant I will need a larger implant in my LEFT breast since my RIGHT it bigger. THERE! Sorry, for some reason I can't figure out how to edit the above comment or my original review. O_o
May 13, 2015
Lol when I was reading it, I assumed u meant larger in the left. They really need an edit or delete button for the posts and comments but yeah I'ma 34AA wanting 375-400cc silicone mod+. Good luck with everything!
July 23, 2015
Sorry for the delay in response! I haven't been on here in awhile. They really do need an edit button! Thanks! I'm getting pretty nervous for mine coming up. I have a pre-op appointment on Monday to go over meds and finalize my cc's. I'm still undecided between 375 and 400... I guess I need to talk to him about the profile. I assume mod+, but I'm not totally sure. I read your review and you got 425 cc HP? They look perfect. Congratulations!!

Hi! I'm in San Antonio and had My surgery June 18th and I kept going between 375 cc and 400cc. I wanted a full C. Being 5'2 I figured I would look ridiculous with a D . My surgeon said its only a 6% difference between a 375 and 400. Well needless to say I went 375 and of course boob greed... I said I could easily have done 400 BUT with 375 they look as if though they're my own. All in all I'm ecstatic with my results.. I went with 325 overfilled to 375 and 365 on my right to correct asymmetry. With 375 I'm a full C with 400 I would have been a small D :) have a great surgery!

Thanks satx14! It's so nice to hear from other people. I'm 5'4" so just a little bit taller than you. I'm leaning towards 400cc

I have a pre-op appointment with my doctor on Monday. We're going to finalize on size! I still haven't decided on 375 or 400cc. I'm not sure if I'll end up needing two different sizes since I'm not symmetrical. I also need to ask what profile would work best for me. I assume mod +. I'm bringing my bf with me for moral support and he's really good and being thorough and asking questions I might not think about!
I've been thinking about things I need to buy before surgery as well. Here's a few things I want to get/ do before surgery:
-Wedge pillow
-Smooth move tea
-Front closure bra (I just have NO clue as to what size I should buy-- I should bring this up doing my pre-op)
-Hire a maid to clean the ENTIRE house. I want to do this SO BAD. But I'll probably just spend a few days deep cleaning everything. :)
-A couple zip-up jackets or button up shirts
-Make a few days worth of freezer friendly meals that the bf can pop in the oven for us to eat.
What are some things you guys think will be helpful during the recovery process?
I've been getting more nervous as my date gets closer!! I think I'll relax a little bit when I get to talk to Dr. Kerr and his awesome patient coordinator, Vlasta, again!

Also, Victoria secret has front closure bras. Just make sure they don't have underwire. If you have a recliner... I found that was the absolute mose comfortable place for me to sleep. ( I actually stayed at my parents just to use theirs) you're going to feel most comfortable elevated. So something behind your back And your legs if you don't have a recliner. I was up and moving about two days later. I guess I was very lucky to have minimal discomfort. REST for as long as you can. I took my pain meds for about 4 days... Also Be sure to Take a stool softener ;( the pain meds can really mess with your system. I was more uncomfortable about that then the actual surgery a few days into my recovery! Good luck girl

Thanks so much! Im glad your recovery wasn't too bad! I've heard so much about the anesthesia and pain meds really messing people up. I don't have a recliner :/ but I'm hoping I can find a decent pillow or two to help me stay elevated in bed.

Lol I talked about hiring a maid too but I ended up saving the money since I put down $6000 at preop! Have you consider HP? I wanted mod+ because I was scared of hp but now I am so glad! They look natural and mod+ actually looks flat, especially since are stats are the same. I'm 5'4" and 125. Mod+ is better for tall, wide ladies to fill in the space. You will have A LOT of side boob because I have side boob with HP, anymore would be too much. I would just consider it. They look very natural as long as you don't get a big size and 400 with 34b is a perfect size for you! You are going to love them! Good luck at your preop!!

I'm considering HP since I'm definitely not wide or tall haha. I don't want to be all side boob! I'll bring this up during my pre-op on Monday! Thanks so much for the advice.

Ohh my gosh. I just got back from my pre-op! We decided on 400cc high profile. He said that mod + would give me way too much on the sides since my upper body is small. Since I'm a little asymmetrical, he may put 430cc on my smaller side, but that won't be decided until I'm in surgery.
He went over risks. He has a 2-3% capsular contracture rate in his practice. I'm so scared of getting this!
He went over warranty issues (10 year warranty for any issues with the implant and they'll pay some of the surgery fees).
I wish I could say that I'm super excited, but right now I'm more nervous than anything! I think this is normal...

Glad your doctor consult went well! (What is your doctor's first name so we can possibly link your review?) Feel free to post some wish boob pictures in your review. You can also join the August 2015 breast augmentation forum. It's quiet now but it will soon be full of hundreds of helpful comments!
