5'8 athletic, 375L, 405R - I'm so happy I decided to go larger

5'8 Athletic 375L 405R

When I went into my first consultation I was looking for a very modest increase to replace loss of volume. I admit when the surgeon recommended 300cc I was shocked and felt it was far too large. I selected 240 and 255.
Afterwards I didn't feel super confident after a 45 minute consult. I played with rice sizers and I would highly recommend you do the same if you're unsure! It allowed me to wear them around the house if different clothes and I actually felt like the 300 range was what I wanted.
So I went back for another sizing apt the week of my surgery and ended up going even bigger. I settled on 375L and 405R which was the largest my surgeon felt comfortable with given my annatomy and my desire for moderate profile.
So far I am really pleased. I know they will drop and look better overtime. I'm so happy I decided to go larger. Especially since most women wish after their first Aug that they went bigger.
Dr. Michael Brown in Loudoun County VA was my surgeon. Overall very happy with the results and care so far.

Thank you for sharing! We have similar stats. I go for surgery in 4 days! I am going with 375HP I'm fairly athletic and want to return the volume without being too big or feeling too heavy. My PS suggested 400cc and we settled with 375cc. I am trusting the process but seeing your results make me really excited. They look fantastic!! I hope you are recovering well.

1st Follow Up

Had my first follow up today. I am felling good. I am still sleeping with lots of pillows to make myself a little cocoon but overall am sleeping ok.

I'm off the narcotics and switched to just Tylenol last night. I was even able to sleep all night without taking any extra.

At follow up today I was showed how to do the breast massages and we talked about basic recovery timeline. Dr. Thinks that my tissues were pretty weak from BF and Pregnancy so they should drop quickly.

Still loving the size. I'm excited to see how they settle in.

Hubs finally admitted too he is excited. Ha. He played it so cool this whole time and now the truth comes out

Starting to see some dropping and am feeling really great. I'm off meds completely. I have food mobility in my arms and am sleeping OK. But I am a stomach sleeper and now that the pain has subsided I'm having a harder time not trying to sleep on my belly. I feel like I'm pregnant all over again haha.

Looks good! I think mine are healing similar to yours. I feel like my nipples are too low- really hoping the dropping helps mine. I see my doctor tomorrow and will see what he says.
