WORTH IT$5,555
A little background, I am 5'7" and around 140 pounds. I do quite a bit of weight lifting, which is mainly why I am wanting to get my breasts done. I used to be a small C large B, but after starting to focus on my health and fitness a lot more, my boobs have really changed. I now can sort of fit into a 34A, but my breasts are completely deflated on top and my breast plate is very visible. It makes me extremely self conscious, and shirts just do not fit right anymore. I can afford to do the surgery now, so I am!
I went in for my consult on 8-24-15. The staff were all very nice, although the doctor seemed sort of rushed. I tried on a few sizes and picked out 240cc silicone implants. I am not 100% sure on the implant size though, now I am thinking when implanted it might not even be a big enough jump to get the results I want. The nurse who assisted me said she hears "I wish I would have gone bigger" fairly often, and I don't want to be one of those people. Anyone have any advice on that?

Hi! I too had my consult on 8/24, but with Dr. Grosso. I'm scheduled for 9/29. I'd suggest playing with the rice sizers at home a couple times. I'm thinking 300cc, and also do not want to go too big, but not too small either. I thought 300 looked a little big in the office, but feels really comfortable at home.

I have been trying them at home as well. I like how 320 looks at home in a variety of shirts, but that seems like a big jump. Good luck with your surgery! I looked at some of Grosso's prior work, he does a good job.

our boobs are almost the same ish. mines natrelle inspira SRM 330cc under the muscle, silicone, as well. is it normal that I obsess over them every day now since i got them done? lol i look in the mirror, wondering if they will turn out the way i want them to be. will they drop and fluff soon? how soon? ahhhhh.

I know the feeling :-) I'm still pretty excited about mine and I have had them almost a year.

Changed implant size!
I called today and paid for half the surgery cost and changed my implant to 320cc :). I am getting so excited.
After seeing the pictures that were taken in the dr's office, I was very upset. To me they look way different in the mirror than they do in the pictures, I didn't realize my natural breast looked so bottomed out. I am so happy that I can do this now. It's silly to be upset by such a trivial thing, I guess, but I used to have really beautiful looking breasts. It sort of seems unfair that all the focus on my fitness/health led to a complete loss of my favorite body part, but oh well.
My husband is so supportive, which helps a lot. He has continually told me he really does not care what size they are and I look beautiful either way.

glad to hear you came to a decision on size hon! very exciting. I went with 275cc after flip flopping around over 300s and I am so glad I went with the smaller implant. I was aiming for a full B small C and have ended up a D (a very happy surprise). That being said though, you have way more breast tissue than I did so you can accommodate a bigger implant better than I could've. I have found on this site there are very few women who really feel they should have gone bigger but obviously I can't speak for the 50 bazillion people here, you can only read so many reviews! Depends what look you are aiming for I think. My PS was very clear about what he could and would not do with my BWD and frame/anatomy. He is a very conservative surgeon who turns people away if their expectations are unrealistic though so I don't think he has disappointed patients because he's so up front with what he is prepared to do. All PSs are different though and looks like you have a very good one.
OMG I nearly died when I saw my before photos at my PS pre-op consult. I'd already died once when I took a photo myself for a before and couldn't believe the state of my boobs! I had spent so much time ignoring them because I didn't like them that I just hadn't looked at them in a very long time. They definitely look different in the mirror compared with in photos - this doesn't change BTW! Post-op it still happens! But I'm very pleased with my naturalistic result and I'm sure you will be too. Here's cheers to time flying for you! I know I was DYING to hurry up and get into surgery! :) xoB.

It is definitely hard to decide. The nurse told me to to think of the scenarios if I wound up a little too big or a little too small and see what one I would be more at ease with. I decided a little too big would be okay, as long as I am coughing up almost $6000 I might as well get more for the money I guess, haha.
You look amazing! Your surgeon did a great job and they look very natural.

That makes perfect sense that your nurse put it to you that way - must say though I would not know how to answer the question even to this day. Oh thank you! I'm very happy as I am sure you will be too :)

You can always make them look bigger, however if you want smaller it's another trip to the OR and another couple grand! Trust me, I know, I just downsized only 5 months after my original surgery .. It cost an additional $6500 :)
I'm much happier in the 200 range. 200cc of implant is equivalent to 2 cups sizes if your band width is 32-34

So true - there are that many padded bras out there it's actually harder to find one that isn't!! I am so happy with my 275s... I'm a 32D and wouldn't want to be any bigger. And thank god I didn't go bigger because I very nearly did and would not have been happy. :)

I'm not sure what profile they recommended for you, but the clinic is getting the Natrelle Inspira sizes in now (new model). I was planning on 300cc style 20 I think (high profile) and Dr. Grosso went with 310cc SRX Inspira (ultra full profile). Not 100% sure what all the differences are in the new ones (or if Dr. Muskett uses them), but everything I've read on them has been good. He did say they ripple less for those with little tissue and you get more projection for same size...just depends on your measurements. Looking forward to following your story.

I believe mine are style 20. I will have to ask about those new ones. The sizers I tried on were a lot more deflated looking than what I expected for high profile. I am hoping my results turn out as good as yours! You look great!!

Congrats to you! You have a nice shape. They'll fill out nicely at a 320 cc. You still have volume and great shape. Good luck!
It seems unfair that women lose some of their breast fat when they're working out and being healthy. Glad you can get some fullness back. We'd love to see some wish boob and/or pre pictures to help give you feedback. Feel free to join the November 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum. It's quiet now but it will become quite busy soon!
