My only regret is that I didn’t do it earlier... I waited until I was 30 which was great because I had lost so much weight that my boobs had extra skin so a BA would be perfect for me. My doctor said I’d be a perfect candidate. I’m 5’3 and 123 pounds, I got a high profile gummy bear implant, 415 CC I tried the 450 and I looked so top heavy and weird...

Hiii! Thank you for sharing your journey! You look amazing! Honestly, I’m the same way! I’m 30, 5’3, 120 pounds and will be going in on the 27th of this month! Don’t know why I waited so long. Lol I’m super torn between getting 415cc or 450cc. I decided on 415cc but I don’t want to regret it. My current bra size is 32B. But seeing yours I’m actually super excited! I can’t wait for when you post updates!

Oh yea 450 on our frame I could imagine I mean I thought I looked so ridiculous

I forgot to ask! Did you do anything in particular to help you with recovery? Any recommendations and a type of scar cream? Sorry if this is a lot of bombardment of questions! I’m just so nervous and excited at the same time!

Oh no you’re totally fine that’s why we are here. So each surgeon is going to be different. Mine did 24 hour recovery so I was good to go to work the next day didn’t have to wear a bra or anything. But some surgeons make you wear one or keep a bandage on so that part depends. I’m using a scar treatment the doctors office has so it’s their own but I’m looking into some now and I’ll let you know when I find one. I do recommend keeping active so that the fluids leave you faster and as hard as it is do the exercises. They really do help your implants fall faster. Also remember you lose 10 percent of your size when you get implants so keep that in mind when choosing.

Do you have any pics of 1-5 days post op.
I got 440ccs and I’m 5’1 120lbs and for some reason they look small and hoping they will fluff and get bigger. Love your results!!

My bf is starting to become a little more comfortable with the way my new breast are now. The swelling has gone down a lot but they’re still sitting pretty and firm. I keep telling him to be patient and he has been, he’s been super great and open to believing he’ll grow to love them. He misses my smaller boobs but I think it’s just different and once they settle down he’ll be more open I’m hoping. I’ve read online of other couples whose husbands did like like the BA at first not until they settled down and dropped. I’m super happy with them and he knows that. I wonder if anyone else is experiencing this...

Do you trust and love the process? Because that’s all that matters. Be well love
May 6, 2021
Thank you! I really do... it’s just been difficult to deal with. I am so happy so it’s heart breaking to hear he is not. I will keep everyone updated though on how it goes, he does admit they look a lot better than they did when I first had them done. I keep telling him that one day I’ll tell him I told you so because he’ll end up loving my new boobs more.

They look amazing. I have a question I have my surgery for July 7th but I am still not sure about the size. I am still between 365 and 415cc. i want a natural look. I am 5'8 tall and my bra size is 32A. Do you have any advice? I would really appreciate
May 7, 2021
So one thing I’ve seen and researched and heard from friends is that their only regret is that they didn’t go big enough. So going from 365 to 415 is not even a whole bra size so if you’re unsure go with 415. It’s an investment and you don’t want to end up regretting it. It sounds a lot bigger than it is. If you see mine they’re still swollen I’m only 5’4 but I’m pretty tiny let me send you a pic so you have an idea
May 7, 2021
that would be very helpful please. Thank you for your answer!

I just added the picture and my measurements I think it’ll be helpful.

Gregarious570, if you search on this website, a lot of doctors conclude you visually "lose" 10-15% or approx 50ccs ish, of volume when you put them under the muscle. I actually have a picture on my update done at 6 weeks titled '6 weeks post op' that shows me wearing the exact same clothes I tried the sizers on and you can actually see they look a tiny bit smaller. Check it out! :)

This picture is to show you that the 415 implants are not that big at all. I’m just under 5’4, my waist is 24.5, my hips are 37 and my breasted are 36-37 ish. You can see that they have really even me out and made me much more proportional. If you’re bigger than that you could go even bigger but 415 I think will be perfect. To be honest I was going to go with 355CC and I tried on 415 and 450 with a sports bra which your surgeon should be able to let you test on yourself as well. When you do remember that they’ll go down slightly in size so even though you’re getting 415 they will still go down a little.

What is your weight. I am just under 5'4" too and looking at 335, 345 and 365. Happy healing! You look great, by the way!
May 7, 2021
My weight before the implants was around 123-125 now I’m 128. I was a 34B but a small B and I had lost 35 pounds so my boobies were kinda saggy and sad
May 7, 2021
Thank you. I weigh 112-114 and mine are deflated after 3 pregnancies and 3 rounds of breastfeeding!
May 7, 2021
Omg you’re so tiny!! Good for you though that’s not easy to go through. I think men underestimate how much child birth affects us physical AND mentally. I mean Ive told men who expect women to have kids... would you be so willing to have kids if giving birth would tear apart your private parts.... cause your boobies to deflate...they have no idea. Good for you momma that is not easy to go through.
May 12, 2021
Thank you so much. This is very helpful!
June 28, 2022
Thanks for sharing. I have a similar frame and my breasts are extremely deflated after breastfeeding two kids. So you went with just the BA and not a lift and still feel happy with how they sit? I'm thinking of 350 for myself but concerned that I would still need a lift to be happy with the perkiness. Any insights are appreciated. Thanks!
June 29, 2022
To be honest I am looking at a reduction since they feel too large for my frame. I have plenty of lift and they look like I’m wearing a push up bra all the time which is not something I wanted
