I would highly recommend Maloney plastic surgery, my experience has been great! I started out smaller than an A cup and could only wear bralettes and sports bras my whole life. I’m 5’5, 135 lbs and went with 450cc natrelle soft touch. 3 days post op currently and starting to feel a lot less sore today, still swollen and sitting high, can’t wait to see how they look when they settle! I was extremely nervous to go into a consultation for this procedure and Dr. Maloney made me feel 100% comfortable and all my nerves went away the second we met. My entire experience has been wonderful with Maloney plastic surgery!

Looking great! I'm going with Dr. Maloney too! I'm going back and forth between wanting 485cc, 450cc and 415cc. I'm 5'6" 135lb so very similar stats as you. If it's not to much to ask would you mind posting a before BA pic and an update for how they are coming along?

How has you recovery been physically and how did aftercare with Dr. Maloney's office go?

Hey! I will go through my photos and see if I can find any good before photo, I really didn’t take any specifically for this though sadly! If you’re an A cup or smaller I definitely recommend going 450 or higher, you’re like exactly my size and I’m extremely happy with my results! I’ll post another photo of a few more days post op for you that I have taken. The first 2-3 days for me were honestly complete hell, but then after that recovery is a breeze! I honestly don’t even feel a heavy weight from the implants or anything crazy. I’m right at 2 weeks post op now and even going to Vegas this weekend and feel completely fine!

Oh also my measurements currently put me at a 34DD which might be helpful information! I’m not sure if I will go down in size at all when they fully settle but I’ll update that when I know :) good luck, you’re going to love whatever you decide!
June 10, 2021
Thank you so much for your response! I'm so glad to hear that it was only two or three days of hell. My surgery is on a Tuesday and I'll be heading back to work on the following Monday. How fun that you are going to Vegas with your brand new boobs!

I'm a 34a and I keep seeing 450cc on people who are our size and (like yours) they look so good! They currently have 485cc written in my chart, and Christina at the office says that if I'm choosing between 450cc and 485cc she'd recommend going 485 because the regret she hears most is not going bigger.
June 10, 2021
Okay awesome! I think that the 485cc will be about 2.5mm wider and projects 1mm more than 450cc. Which is a super slight difference. I'm pretty sure I'll stick with 485cc. It's just so hard to decide!
June 13, 2021
I'm currently going through hell deciding ON THE SAME SIZES, lol I have surgery JUNE 16TH and am so nervous
June 13, 2021
The 16th is so soon! How exciting! Are we the same states?
June 14, 2021
Yep we sure are!!!!
June 15, 2021
Definitely go 485cc, you won’t regret it! That much of a difference isn’t crazy and I wouldn’t even mind having mine a little larger as they settle and get less swollen. I’m definitely happy with what I got tho, this size will definitely work perfect for your body!!

Feeling great 2 weeks post op!

I’m so happy with my results, I’ve just started noticing some dropping and softening up. Here’s a photo with a little better angle and lighting taken one week post op! I definitely feel like I went with the perfect size for my body.

How are they coming along now ?I'm still debating between 450cc and 485cc. 35 days until my BA!
June 16, 2021
Go 485!! They are really softening up and looking better every day! As they settle I feel like I wouldn’t have hated to go a little larger so I definitely recommend just going for it! You’ll be shocked at first since they sit high and look funky at first, but within a week the swelling will go down a lot and by week two you’ll be in love, I literally feel like a new person my life is complete now haha, can’t wait for you to get yours done! My best advice is get a reading pillow to help keep you propped up to sleep with for the first few days and get bendy straws! Also stool softener, after the anesthesia you might have a hard time getting things going again start taking that immediately I didn’t take enough and had a terrible experience my stomach killed me lol. Good luck!!!
June 16, 2021
So helpful! I'm gonna do 485. I'm 34 days out and so excited!

Is there a reading chair you recommend? I've read that getting a neck pillow helps too. What do you think about those? And is there a type of stool softener you recommend? I've got some silicone bendy straws already lol.
June 17, 2021
I just got a random one off amazon that was alright, bed bath and beyond carries some good ones too. I’m not sure on stool softeners this was my first time taking any and like I said I had a terrible experience lol! I also had a neck pillow and yes that helped a lot! Sleeping upright is difficult and I couldn’t have done it without one!

Couldn’t be happier!

Already buying clothes I would have never looked good in prior to surgery and absolutely loving it! Very minimal pain that comes randomly at this point. I did try to return to work 1 week post op and I drive for work and could not handle that with all the movement of my upper body driving multiple hours of the day. 2 weeks post op I got more into my regular routine.

Yay!! that look amazing! U'm so excited for mine!!!
June 29, 2021
How are they coming along? I'm 3 weeks out now!
July 14, 2021
It’s going great!! They feel and look so natural, one side dropped more quickly and it looks uneven sometimes just don’t freak out because they go through so many changes so quickly!
July 14, 2021
That's great! I would love to see an update when you are ready to post more pics. How are your scars, pain level, and ability to exercise? I chose 450cc HP and my BA with Dr. Maloney is in 6 days!!!
July 14, 2021
Also, I'm a little nervous I am going to regret that I didn't choose 485cc, but I was super nervous about going too big. When I asked for Dr. Maloney's opinion, he said that if I'm "worried about going too big then go with 450cc." I don't think he said that because he thinks 485 its"too big", but because he thought I'd feel less worried. So, now I'm worried I'll regret not going 485cc lol! I just can't win!
July 21, 2021
Got mine done today! They are very swollen right now. I chose 485cc and I'm super happy with that decision. Thank you for the advice!

How are your's? Any new pics for how they are coming along?
July 26, 2021
Yay I’m so happy for you!! I wish I went just a tad bigger, but I feel like you get used to them swollen and then feel like they’re small when they settle regardless lol. I’ll go bigger when I need them replaced tho so it’ll work out! I don’t have any other pics right now I’ll try and get some more, I’m still very happy with mine!
July 26, 2021
Thank you! How long did it take for your swelling to go down? I’m almost a week out and I’ve read that it can take a while.
July 26, 2021
Oh it’ll take some time to fully settle! I don’t even think I’m fully settled at this point, swelling goes down a lot right around 2-3 weeks and then they start to slowly drop into place. My right side is dropped lower than my left and I’m thinking maybe it has some to do with my right being my dominant hand I use that arm more so maybe it’s caused it to settle quicker but I’m not sure lol! It can take around 6 months to fully settle into place from what I’ve read tho, you’ll go through a lot of changes!

Yours look so good tho I think you chose right going 485!!
July 27, 2021
Thank you so much! Today is the first day I actually felt happy with them. 2 more weeks of the swelling feels like sooooo long. It's tough to be patient and not think too much about it. I've noticed that the bottom of my boobs (left one starting yesterday and right one starting today) have a little more give. Did your swelling start going down on the bottom first?
July 28, 2021
Yes they feel very high and stuff for a little while, don’t worry they soften up a lot tho!! They really feel natural once they settle more
July 28, 2021
Stiff* not stuff lol
July 28, 2021
Oh also I just got a ton of comfortable sports bras from target for cheap! Once they drop more it starts to get uncomfortable sleeping without one on, I got some for $10 and $15 dollars that are so comfortable!
