WORTH IT$3,600

Hey ladies, I am 32yrs old, 5'4 & 137 lbs. I'm getting my boobs done very, saline mods or mod+ with TUBA. I'm torn between 350/375/400cc's. I don't want to be too large, but I also don't want to be small. I have sort of broad shoulders & wide hips. Right now I wear a 34A. Really I should wear a 32A, but they seem too tight & I feel like I can't breathe. Anyway, I can't decide on the size. I've looked at tons of pics, but everyone is so different. I'm also torn between partial unders & over. I think I'm leaning towards partial unders. My husband was no help when I was trying on sizers. I've done the rice test & I feel like I like the 375's. I want to be a full C, or even a D. Please Help!

I'm about where you are..I weigh a little more.. I have 400 hp saline overfilled to 425. I let my dr make the decisions after I explained to him how I wanted to look. It's perfect. I would not want to be any bigger or smaller. Trust in your surgeon! Lots of luck!

Thank you! I really didn't know what I wanted when I had my consultation. I trust my PS. Choosing a size is hard! Especially since I don't want to do it all over in a year or two bc I'm not happy with the size.

I am 5'4 and 125 pounds. I am getting saline 375cc. My PS measured me and that's the max I can go. I am also an A cup. My PS said I would end up with a full C or a small D. Good luck I know it's hard to decide.

Go a limitless bit bigger than you want to be so you won't regret being too small ; you'll loose 50cc by going under the muscle; I read your stats and I think mods will be perfect for you;

After wearing the sizers a day or two, I'm liking 390cc a lot more! Luckily I have a couple of weeks to decide.

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! I rarely suggest a size to a member, but based on your photo, I think you can handle the larger size. I am so excited for you. Are you getting prepared for your recovery? Here is a link to some things to buy and set up before your surgery. This will help the time pass more quickly until your surgery!

Oh yeah, I'm getting ready. I already have a few sports bras, a incline wedge pillow, lots of crackers. I'm starting to deep clean my house this weekend, so everything will be perfect. Tons of ice packs, I LOVE ice packs! It's just waiting now. Time is going by so slowly! I have 13 more days to wait. I had my blood work done today. I wish my work would allow me time for pre-op appointment. But I have to wait until the day of surgery to decide on size for sure. Thanks for the advice.

Hey, Ladies! I have 8 more full days to get through, and then it's my BIG DAY! I received my Pre & Post Op Surgery Vitamins from Makemeheal.com. It's 3 pills per day for 2 weeks prior to surgery, or 3 pills twice per day, 7 days before surgery. They come in convenient little one dose packs, they are easy to swallow, so to me, they are worth the $60. I'll really know their worth if I have minimal pain, swelling & bruising after surgery.
I also received my Extra Support, Front Zip sports bra from Under Armor, $36.99. A Very comfy & not too hot bra. I hate bras that make you hot. And I picked up a few packs of Fruit of the Loom sports bras from Walmart. Can't go wrong when you get 3/$10 & they are cute colors, plus one pack had lace at the top. Perfect for work. I also bought a front close, all cotton Fruit of the Loom bra, $10. And a deep plunge, front clasp Danskin sports bra, for going out. All very comfy & I won't have to wait on laundry to have a clean bra. Major bonus!

Ok. These vitamins...are amazing! They make me feel so good! I normally take Alive vitamins & they work pretty well, but these have something special in them. All it contains is 1 MultiVitamin, 1 Ester-C & 1 Zinc-Chelate. I wake up in the best mood & I have plenty of energy all day long.
I would highly recommend these vitamins!

Hey, After surgery I was told and actually signed an agreement that I would wear the post-op bra that they provide for 24hrs a day for 4 weeks. So I think it might be a little premature to buy any kind of bra yet. Just my thoughts... I would say go for the 400cc. Not because bigger is better, but because 400cc seems more likely to achieve your goal of being a C or D. With mine I might end up a full C, small D or full D (what I wanted). As far as overs, unders, or partial... I chose under the muscle because I wanted firm support for the implants and I've seen overs that sag pretty significantly over the years. Just keep doing your research... It will work out fine!!

Thanks for the advice. :) My PS told me that I had to be in a surgical bra for 1-2 weeks & after that, I could wear what I wanted, as long as there was no underwire. As far as buying real bras...I'll wait a couple of months. But I can wear the sports bras anytime.
