I've booked my BA for November and I'm excited, a little nervous about having surgery and dreading the reaction from my co-workers since I'm going up 2 cup sizes. A part of me says 'Who cares what other people think?' but another part feels guilty about splurging on myself. Life is too short, so I'm going for it!

Good for you! You can always start stuffing your bra more if you haven't already! Do you know about what size implants you'll be getting? Do you have any wish boob pictures you could share? Feel free to join the November 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum. Keep us posted along the way!

I'm deciding between 450cc mod+ and 500cc mod+. I'll add some pics from the Crisalix 3D imaging. Anyone know how accurate those are?

I agree with Beth, you may want to consider some sort of padding for bras. It can help make the transition easier.

Hey!! I think your making a great decision to do something for yourself. I have been waiting for years to finally go forward with the procedure and Dr. Jabs is the one Ive trusted. I took my older sister in July 2015 and her results were impressive, and my date was also pushed back several times due to my career and traveling, however I'm booked for November 20th and I'm elated. I have 3 children (11yr old -boy, 8yr old-girl, and a 2yr old girl) and I have never wanted to do something more than this ever!!!!!! Wishing you all the BEST :)

You are going to love 500cc. Does your doctor also let you try on sizers so you can personally get a feel of what they will look like?

I was on the fence about 500cc or going smaller. I'm glad I went with the 500ccs too!
Yes, I tried on sizers with him. It's helpful to get a better idea of the final result as well as getting an idea of how heavy the implants will be.

Good Luck. I'm doing mines in December. Don't feel guilty for splashing on your self. It's all for a good cause and will be worth it in the end. Where are you planning on getting the procedure done?

Dr. Jabs in Bethesda, MD. His work is beautiful, his credentials are awesome and everyone in the office is so helpful and accommodating.

Thank you hunny. I have my consultation next week Thursday, this will give me an opportunity to choose my size. I'm figuring 300cv - 330cc. I'm quiet petite and don't want to look top heavy. Good luck Newtoboobs. Keep us posted

I think the Crisalix images are SO much more helpful than the Vectra ones. These options all look great--500 should also look fab on you!
October 10, 2015
Thanks for the encouragement. Still can't believe it's so close now!
October 10, 2015
I hope so! I tried on sizers in the office. It was much more helpful than going in with a cup size in mind because cup sizes vary so much by manufacturer. Getting to see how sizers fit in clothes I already have was really helpful. Also made me aware of exactly how heavy implants are.

I'm going under the muscle so I'm hoping 500cc moderate plus silicone will get me these results.

Trying to be really disciplined about getting in the best health I can. Totally fell off the wagon this week and ate everything in sight. I was craving comfort food as we ease into fall. Dusting myself off and hopping back on the wagon this week. Any suggestions about nutrition to help with pre and post op?

I was told to take a multivitamin as well as vitamin c daily.Try not to stress to much, I suspect that would be worse for you than a bowl of mashed potatoes and gravy.
