35 Year Old, 5’2” 96 lbs & Getting BA with 175-215 cc’s (Yep, you read that right! Max 215 cc’s!)

WORTH IT$7,800

I’ll start by saying that I have less than 36 hours now before my BA and not until today did I plan on writing a review. I had a change of heart for really two reasons. First I have been on RealSelf for many weeks now, learned so much from you ladies & this site, and would feel like a total hypocrite if I didn’t share my own journey. Second I am the only person I know that will be getting such small implants (decided on 175-215 cc’s, smooth round moderate profile silicone). I’m hoping my stats & before/afters might help someone else.
So here it goes: I am 35 years old, married but not planning on children, 5’2”, 96 lbs, and 32AA-34A depending on which bra is cute, inexpensive, at TJ Maxx. Ha!
My PS is Dr. Ram Kalus, and he’s definitely one of the top rated surgeons here in Charleston. Besides his demeanor and well known pursuit for perfection, it’s his office staff that sealed the deal for me. Everyone from the office manager to his nurse to the schedule/financial coordinator are amazingly caring, attentive, and knowledgeable. And despite my surgery quickly approaching on June 22, I actually had my first consult with Dr. Kalus way back in 2010! Although I wasn’t completely ready mentally or financially then, I knew he was my doctor.
Here are some before pics. More to come...

Sounds like your surgery is Tommorrow, Friday! Relax and sleep well. There is 40cc difference/range in what you are considering which is a higher percent than in larger implants. I think you are wise to identify the look you want to have as only you understand your adorable small frame. Share the pics with your doc. I think your first “wish image” was the largest of the 3. I just got 300 cc moderate profile plus. I’m 5’8” 138 lbs. my doctor picked my size as we didn’t know size of old implants (keep card they give you). I wish I got 350cc as I went from D cup to C. I am small boned petite tall. Doc wanted a narrower 12 cm base implant. I hear 3D imaging is helpful. I think you are going to look great as your base shape is nice and I think it will look like you just fuller. Some people’s before pics Pre augmentation don’t have a “look” you do. Hopefully dr or web had images before after of your size. Below muscle reduces. I was 300 cc for a long time above muscle. He put same size below muscle 3 weeks ago, and I am much smaller, maybe 30-75 smaller cc so you have to factor that in. When I had over muscle I stated huge with swelling and decreased. With under muscle, ouch, I can’t out much smaller than old implants, but at 3 weeks the muscle is relaxing and they are growing- very different experience. Many wish they went bigger and being smaller than you wanted is very disappointing. Your surgeon may find more breast tissue inside you that he has to push out that you can’t see- he won’t know till he or she is in there, so I think the biggest thing size wise is to verbally and with pics show Dr what you want and make sure he accounts for extra cc if under muscle. Best wishes. I think you will be thrilled. And you can workout and often have bigger clevage with sizes you are considering. Best wishes!

Just wanted to say your review and pics is the most helpful I've found on this site or anywhere online, I think because we have similar builds and similar goals for shape/size. I am going in for my BA a week from tomorrow. I'm also 35, I've had two children (breastfed both) From your photos it doesn't look like you've had kids but maybe you have and just have great skin and a great body! Anyway, the majority of the after pics I see look way too round/big/unnatural to me. I am really looking for a true teardrop shape, I don't want high profile, and I definitely don't want to go too big. I'm getting moderate profile round cohesive gel Mentor implants and at this point I'm thinking 250ccs but I'm still nervous about the size and I really want them to drop. I think it will help that I already have a pretty big/stretched out breast pocket bc during pregnancy and breastfeeding I was a D. Now I have a stretched out "pouch" that's just waiting to be filled up, so my skin has already done a lot of stretching. How are you feeling about your new breasts now? Thanks for sharing your experience!

I did have a friend ask why spend the $ if I’m only looking to go up a cup size? But I think it’s pretty clear that I am a petite of petites, and my goal is to stay very proportionate. I want the “did she or didn’t she” response from people that don’t know I’m having a BA. Looking at other womens’ pictures, I am always WAY more focused on upper pole to bottom pole ratio and shape than really breast size. And after thinking about my fluctuations in breast size through my 20s and early 30s, I know that being right around a full B cup is what I’ve pictured as ideal for me. My biggest fear is no longer having a very evident teardrop shape after my surgery and recovery...that and of course damage to my health or wellbeing.

I’ve read lots of reviews and post-op stories of the dreaded “boob greed” and all I can really do is pray that staying conservative and Dr. Kalus’ good judgement will achieve exactly what I’m wanting. More pics to come...
