Well, it's official!! The date is set for March 19th at noon! Grandma is keeping the boys for the day of surgery! Woohoo!!! It's actually happening! I've wanted this for over 6 years now (after the birth of our first son).

At first, I was thinking I didn't want to go too big. But after looking at before and after pics of my approximate size and shape of breasts, I am now wanting at least 375cc...maybe more! Dr. Medalie said he would start at 360cc and go up from there. I completely trust his judgement. I'm SO excited!!!

Wow just came across your profile. Today is your surgery date. Good luck. And hope everything went smoothly. I'm schedule for 3/26 . I'm 5'6 145 lbs and planning on 400 cc saline. I'm still not sure if that's what I want since I'm happy with just the boost I got when I nursed my daughters. I'm a little scared that you don't know exactly what size your getting since the doctors ask that you trust them.

Thank you! I'm so happy with the results even though I'm still very swollen! My PS asked me this question at my consultation and again today as he was drawing on my chest before surgery...."so when it comes sizes, would you rather be bigger or smaller than the middle (average) size I choose for you?" Because he had three sizes to try...350, 375 and 400. He said from the beginning that he thought 375 would look great and not be too big for my frame. But that if he was in there and thought maybe the 375 wasn't right for me, that he would maybe go to the bigger size, rather than the smaller size. The reason for that is most women never want to be TOO big. So some choose the smaller size. In his experience, the women who choose the smaller rather than the average size end up being disappointed with the outcome (boob greed) bc it doesn't fill them in enough. The ones that choose to go bigger are pleasantly surprised that they weren't as big as they expecting with the bigger than average size. So just a little food for thought! My opinion would be to trust your PS! He will know what's best for you and will wantt you to have the best results possible! I think 400 would be great for you actually! Good luck!!!! :)

ErinGrt that was well very said! I am also letting my doctor choose my implant size and brand. He spent enough time with me talking about all my goals and like and dislikes that I know his experience is much better for making the best choice. I'd much rather have the best than mine. I'm also glad that your pain is better today!

I'm so excited I can't contain myself! I'm constantly on this site trying to find moms with similar builds as myself. This is the only thing I can do to help pass the time faster, other than being a mom of three little boys! Haha!

Reading your post I felt the excitement all over again! I'm excited for YOU!! :D I'm a 6+mo "vet" here on RS and having a MM has been the BEST decision I've ever made! I looked at your side profile pic and I had that - "booby droop"... hahaha.... well, NO MORE!!! You actually have more boob than I started with! So good luck to you on your journey and welcome to the MM site! :)

Thanks, girl! Your pics look amazing!! You amazing results! What size were beforehand? What size did you end up going with?!

By looks, I was a ZERO FLAT. By measurement, I was a 34B... surely deflated. I got Natrelle 550 smooth round silicone gummies, high profile... and now I'm a 34 full D!!

Nice!! It's amazing how different the results can be for each person! I originally chose saline bc I'm really afraid if they ever leak. I like to wakeboard in the summer. So when I fall on the water (on the belly) going close to 20mph, I'm afraid one will rupture. I do really want silicone though. I'm still on the fence, but I need to figure it out soon! Any info/advice about that is welcome!

I don't think I can give you a professional answer as to silicone vs. saline for your personal lifestyle. Silicone worked better for me because it had more of a natural look and because I have very little to no breast tissue or fat (just skin and bones up top) so I'd be able to see the ripples of the saline bag from the sides THROUGH my skin! yuck!! My friend is just as "skinny" and showed me hers. You can even see it in pictures when she wears a swim top. Double yuck! (picture the sides of a mylar balloon... yeah, pretty scary.)

I bet! I know I have to do what's right for me!! I guess I just need some more silicone stories to me make fully switch my decision. it looks like I am leaning more towards silicone now!

I had the same problem with having very little breast tissue so my PS recommended silicone otherwise I'd end up with rippling. I'm 2 weeks post op and very glad I chose silicone.

I posted a pic Janice Dickinson's boobs with her previous saline implants on my review. Lots of rippling on her skinny bod. She had them replaced with silicone.

Great and what are you getting silicone or saline ? I'm also from Ohio and I wanted to check out that location but Dr Soltanian on cedar rd

Hi! I actually had my surgery yesterday and had 375cc Mentor silicone smooth round mod+ profile! Dr. Medalie was amazing! He knows his stuff for sure and was right on the money with sizes. I thought I wanted to go with 400's but he said that may be a little big for my height (5'4") and small frame. I'm so glad I didn't go bigger now. I know they're swollen but even so, they seem huge to me. So they will be perfect once they settle in! Good luck in your search! :)
March 20, 2015
Great so they cost you 6k total? And this dr I'm searching is costing me 120ish for first visit the consultation was wondering what did your dr charge you thank you post picture when they are not swollen
User Avatar
March 21, 2015
I will certainly update with more pics as the swelling goes down. The total cost was $6700 for silicone. For saline, it's $5700. The consultation was half off ($65) and was included in the full price.

Doing some sizing! I think PS is on target with 375cc! But I may want to go a tad bigger, especially if he's going under the muscle!

And btw, I am going with silicone! Woohoo!!! I had a concern with not being able to wakeboard bc of the fear that if I fell on the water going that fast, they would rupture. But this video sealed the deal for me! ;-) http://youtu.be/CWxrif4XL18

I really like the way 375cc looks! I was thinking now about going with moderate plus but just earlier today i told my PS I'll go with moderate? What profile are you going with? So excited:*
User Avatar
March 3, 2015
Thanks, Stratefull!! I think I would be happy with either 375 or 400. I trust my PS to give me the best look possible without making me look TOO fake! Although, I want to be filled in enough to give me a good amount of lift too! lol! I'm going with moderate profile! I'm so excited too! I can't wait to see your results!
