Mom Looking for Natural Look..

WORTH IT$7,500
I am a mom that has breastfed multiple kids. I like being small, but I am deflated now and I just want to look closer to how I did pre kids. I have a natural pear shape and I’m used to being really thin on top. I’m afraid of looking too big or boxy, and I don’t want something that others can really notice in clothes— just something for me. Because of my width (11.5-12 in), the doctor told me the lowest he thinks I can go is 230cc. I previously wanted something more like 185ish. I’ve been searching for pics of other women with similar shapes to see what I can expect.

*Ive wanted this for years, but I originally thought I would get fat transfer augmentation. I have since decided against that because of the lipo and recovery. But that’s the look I originally liked!

I have wanted this procedure for a long time and over the years, I had spoken with two other doctors. I'm so glad I didn't go with them and instead went with Dr. Lee. I was extremely anxious about the size and he spent a long time with me (very patiently) until I felt comfortable. I am so happy with my results and he gave me exactly what I wanted. The staff is also top notch and every person was so kind.

I'm about 11cm and looking at 140-160cc. Surgery is booked in for 20 March.

Have you had more than one doc say this? No harm in getting a second opinion if you haven't.

The second doctor I talked to said he wouldn't go lower than 300cc, but I dont think he was listening to me!

(Face palm) sounds like he definitely wasn't. I had two consult experiences, one with a doc that was also not listening to me and another that did understand what I was after. Not sure why where you are located but I'm in the UK and Dr Murphy has been amazing so far!

More wish pics/comparison for what to expect

Adding more pictures to compare my goal and what the dr recommends. These are both RealSelf users so I have tagged their handles... I love that Kat's look really nice but when she has clothes on, they are still small and subtle. Gregarious has similar dimensions as me and hers are a little bit bigger, but in the comparison I dont think they look entirely too much bigger. I do understand that wider/taller people might need more ccs to accomplish the same look in a more petite person. My main concern is it changing the silhouette of my shape too much.

I could not believe I actually did it! When I woke up, I was starving. I did not follow the instructions to eat a liquid diet only. I ate constantly for hours, lol. The medicine made me extremely high and disorientated. But I felt pretty good considering!

I had spent a combined almost 3 hours with the doctor on sizing and he wanted to go bigger than I did. He was concerned that with my height and width, I would need a larger minimum amount than I anticipated. We ended up with me telling him to make a game time decision and just try the smallest size that would work on the table. I really felt like I could trust him and that’s a testament to what a great doctor I chose! He made the perfect decision and I’m so happy. I ended up with 235cc and 290cc.
