5’2 130ish lbs and deciding between 420 and 450 cc high profile silicone gel. I have always been curvy in my hips but never up top. When I was pregnant/nursing my breast grew some and I loved it, now they are deflated and small again. That’s all going to change in 3 days!!! Tonight I started washing with the antibacterial soap and putting the cream in my nose, belly button, and ear lobes (so strange). I took some before pictures today... I always knew one breast was bigger than the other but after looking at the pictures it sits a little lower as well. I breastfed for over 2 years and the smaller one was always my slacker. I’m confident my surgeon will do his best to make them look the same but I also know they won’t look identical. I have a very wide chest and I’m concerned I won’t have the cleavage i want. Leaning more towards the 450 to fill in that space more but I don’t want them to be TOO big. I want them to look a little more than natural and a little fake but not over the top. I have to keep reminding myself everyone’s boobs are different and mine aren’t perfect to begin with. Very excited!!!!

Go for the 450! I’m about 2 and a half weeks post op. And about the same stats as you. Started with 34a and got 415cc and wish I could’ve gotten bigger. But the 415cc barely fit. They look good with my body. But still would like bigger! So if your deciding definitely pick the bigger. Looking at your picture I think they will look very proportionate on your body! Good luck!

I went with the 450!!!!! They actually ordered the 475 but I have been telling myself for weeks I would so the 450 an not the 420 so I decided to just stick with that. I’m confident I’ll be a D and that’s what I wanted so they should be perfect!

Surgery Day!!!!

NB2015K

I arrived at 630 and talked to the nurse and doctor some more, took my pictures, and got my IV in my arm. When they put my IV in I turned white as a ghost and saw stars. Had to get a rag on my head and lean back for a minute. Lack of food and that little bit of blood being drawn when they put it in was a bad combination, I always get light headed when getting blood drawn. Doctor came in and marked me then I was ready to go! I walked back into surgery room and laid on the bed. They had it warmed up and cozy for me. Put the compression things on my legs. Then before i knew it, I was asleep. Dr. Choucair and his staff were so great from start to finish. When I woke up I had boobs! I got 450 cc mentor silicone gel under the muscle. I had to have regular stitches since my skin was so tight. Currently wearing a band on top and nothing else. Ride home was ok, still felt kinda sick from anesthesia but wasn’t really nausea just felt yucky. Got home and slept an hour or two and when I woke up that feeling had subsided and I felt much better (wasn’t terrible to begin with I just feel way better now). Woke up and ate ALOT of chick fil a, I was starving.

Tomorrow I can take a shower and put a sports bra on or continue to wear my strap if I think I want to be more lowered. Doctor said he will call me tonight to check in and even gave me his cell phone number if I had any questions. So far so good! Feeling ok! Staying on top of my medicine and icing. All in all I highly recommend Dr. Choucair. Wonderful experience so far! Posting a picture. The marks give the illusion one of them is wonky but it’s my pre surgery mark it’s not actually are the implant is ????

Day 1

NB2015K

First night went good. Set my alarms to take my meds. Little stiff this morning and they are rock hard but all and all pretty good! Thinking of stoping the pain pills and switching to Tylenol today and continuing with the Valium for my muscles. Been icing on and off regularly. Doctor told me I can take my strap off today and wear a sports bra or wear the strap a little longer if I want them pushed down some more. I’m pleasantly surprised I don’t hav the boxy frankenboobs I feared I would, they really look great for day 1 in my opinion! Doctor Choucair called and checked on me last night and said he would call again today. No regrets at all be loving them!

They are looking fantastic for day 1. They will start to soften up and drop over the next couple weeks.
