Yay it is finally my turn to start a review! I am three weeks away from my surgery date of October 1, 2015. Some days feel like it's taking forever, other days it feels like it is right around the corner! I am a 31 year old mother of two, 5'7" and 130lbs. I have never really liked my breasts, and have dreamed of an augmentation most of my life (I even have a photo of myself as a child with balloons in my shirt lol). I remember buying the "water" bras when I was a young adult but then never wanted to take my bra off around anyone because I didn't want them to see that my breasts were "lies"! Bathing suits have never fit properly either. Now most of my bras and bathing suits gape horribly at the top. I wear a 34A size but have not been sized since pregnancy so I wouldn't be surprised if I am wearing the wrong size. I plan to have my surgery done in banff with Dr. Hall-Findlay who has great reviews. My consultation went very well with her, I felt super comfy with her even as she was lifting my flap jacks up and explaining my personal breast footprint to me. She has said that I could go over or under the muscle but I have not totally decided which I will decide. I feel like over would give me the results I desire and the healing time would be shorter so that is what I am leaning towards. We will decide cc's at my pre-op on the day of surgery. One of these days I will do the rice test and see what I like, but I am leaning towards 400cc's. The Dr said I could go up to 500cc's but said she would lean more towards 350. Well I think that is about all I have to say at the moment. Am looking forward to going on this journey along with you lovely ladies! Will post pre-op photos soon!

Before photos
Took some much dreaded before photos and tried out the rice sizers. I almost found it depressing! I have it in my head I want 400cc's but found the rice sizers so big and hard that they looked so odd on me. Does that mean 400 is too big? Plus I was hoping I would get some cleavage like some other ladies here on real self seem to get with their rice sizers. Not my luck, no matter how much adjusting I did lol! Plus I found they seemed to sit wide and made me look larger than I am or than I want to look. Makes me more nervous about my results!

I tried the rice sizers yesterday and felt the same way! I'm the thinking the sizers are more of a moderate profile?!? I think I'm interested the the mod +, I have a similar profile as you...

I have read many people say their results were SMALLER than the rice sizers! Also if you do submuscular, you lose 50/100 ccs!

I have some of the same wish pics! Hehe. I'm only 2 weeks pot op, so they've still got a long way to go.
So glad it's finally your turn! Feel free to join either the September or October 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum for some additional pre and post op support. Feel free to post some wish boob pictures too along with your pre op pics. Update us again soon!
