WORTH IT$7,124
I had my consult today and actually went ahead and paid my deposit and booked the day! I'm a little over two weeks out from my BA. I wasn't sold on having the procedure bc I mostly was stressing out about not being able to work out. I lift weights 5 days a week and run 3 times. My boobs are deflated and have no volume left on top from breastfeeding and getting huge during pregnancy. My doctor put all of my worries to bed. I feel so confident in my ability to bounce back. I also really liked the way the breast I tried on made me look so much more feminine and proportionate. I have a muscular chest and am broad shouldered. She suggested behind the muscle since I lift. I went in thinking 350cc but left knowing 450cc for my frame much better. I'm super excited!!!

Bigger?!
I'm second guessing my decision to go with 450cc... I'm thinking I could go back to bigger. From looking at everyone's updates I feel like a lot regret not going a size up. Opinions? I found these and I love the look...

When I did my sizers I tried on 425cc. Dr. Gordon ended up using 485cc to give me the fullness I wanted and to make sure my loose skin would be filled out properly. I am so glad she did. I recommend giving her some wiggle room and having some trust in her decision. She really knows what she is doing.

Hi! Congrats on booking your procedure! I run, lift, crossfit as well. Not being able to work out was the scariest thing for me also. I am 5'7" #140, a deflated 34B prior and ended up going with 475/500cc under the muscle. It really DOES NOT feel big at all! I love the size and my dr could not go bigger due to my anatomy, but sometimes I wish he could have!!
I think what was the hardest thing for me was that it all looked big at my first appointment! So I went home and made rice sizers and tried on a bunch of tops. That really helped me understand what size I wanted. At my second consultation I decided I would go as big as I could. I don't regret it one bit!
Maybe try the rice sizers at home and see what you think!

I'm going back next Friday to try more sizes on before they order them. I think I've decided to go with 500 possibly 550. I'll leave it up to my surgeon. If they are big, a good sports bra should hold them in place, right?! How long was it before you returned to exercise? I haven't taken more than a week off from working out in over 5 years!!!

I hear great things about the Moving Comfort Juno & Fiona by Brooks! I bought a Juno but haven't run yet.
I think I could have easily done 500 or 550 and loved it! But I don't think my anatomy would have allowed it.
At my one week appt my dr. said I could start light exercise at a week and a half and then increase as long as nothing hurt, although he stressed taking it easy. I started with some recumbent cycling. I'm only at 3 weeks post, but now I am doing lower body exercise, stationary upright bike, the elliptical and I started some biceps & triceps with light weight yesterday. It felt so good! I am really OCD about working out, but it has been easier than I thought it would be!

I'm so excited! I'll probably try to ease back into working out around week 3, as long as everything goes well :) keep me updated about your progress. Are you dropping nicely? I hate that spongebob boob look!! But I know it takes patience

My left one is looking good. The right one is coming along, but seems to be taking longer. I just posted my 3 week pics on my review. I can tell a difference, but I just wish it would move along faster! I know I need to be patient.

Dr Gordon did my BA in February...I LOVE them. And recovery was so easy. I did not get the exparel injection, but I did ask for a scopamine (sp?) patch prior to surgery and I think it helped because I had zero nausea (and I usually get very nauseaous after surgeries).
I'm 5'11" and got 650 & 695ccs; I let Dr. Gordon choose my final size during surgery. She initially suggested 650 at my consult and I was nervous they'd be too big. Glad I went with her suggestion, they are perfect for my body (athletic & wide hips).

Pre-OP photos
So I want to show what bothers me the most. In my first pre-op photo my arms are up and you can't really see the extent of damage to them. So here they are. Deflated and sad. I'm thinking I'll NEED to go bigger to fill all of that boob skin...

I see what you are saying about going bigger. I think they will fill out well!

She said I didn't need a lift, I think I could easily do 550, and I have the frame to support them. I'll let you know what I decide on next Friday!

Great! I'm am excited to see your journey! I have my first consult next month and was thinking around 400cc moderate but after reading your experience and some others similar I may consider higher. Thanks for updating!

Boob greed is the real deal. It will look smaller once there put in especially under the muscle.

Hey there! I just had my ba and lift done 6/20 at Restora with Dr Reid, and if it helps at all, you're in good hands!!! Dr Reid and Dr Gordon and all of the Restora staff and the surgery center staff CARE about their patients and are soooo amazing!
I could not have asked for a better experience. They are a top notch customer care team!. Dr Reid is a miracle worker... seriously a PS genius! I gave him nothing to work with but skin and he created a masterpiece! I can relate to your not working out feeling... I miss the gym like nobody's business, but I know patience is a good thing and I'll be back there soon. Hang in there and I look forward to reading more of your posts on tour journey.
