5’7”:134lbs:35yrs:32A Desired to be about a large C Planning to have Mentor 275-300cc smooth round moderate plus profiles implanted.
I don’t remember a time when I loved my boobs- other than the nearly 5 years while I was actively nursing one of my four kids. I’ve always been rather thin, flat chested and unshapely. At my largest prekids I was about a 34C, while nursing I’d become a 36D, but now I deflated to a 32A ... maybe.
I got pregnant with my first child in January of 2010 and have pretty much been pregnant or nursing from then until this fall. My body hasn’t been my own in nearly a decade. I’ve done everything for everyone else but me. Last winter I decided that I would begin to start working out again and have whipped my body back into a shape that my 23 year old self would have been envious of- except for my chest. Obviously with weight loss and aerobic activities comes loss of fat, and since breasts are largely composed of fat, of which I have very little, I have nearly no breast tissue left.
To be honest I’m scared. The complication rates for capsular contraction (as reported in the Mentor pamphlet) are higher than I had anticipated or seen in my research and that surprised me. It’s an elective surgery and there are always risks, that I know. But I’ve gotta get out of my own head and stop worrying about all the what if’s. What has everyone else done to calm their mind? Surgery is scheduled for 3/27/19.

I just scheduled mine for 4/15 and I’m in the same boat as you! I read the pamphlet last night and I felt the same way. They did say it happened more frequently in revisions- not as many in first time augmentations. I am trying to focus on my end goal, and am excited to be doing something for myself! I’m a 34A looking for a mid sized B. Good luck!

@sarahterr have you had a consult yet? What you want is what I want! Lol trying to figure out what cc size that is??
March 13, 2019
It’s been a week of back and forth emotions. Today I’m doing pretty good.
March 13, 2019
I did and then sell on it for 2 weeks before scheduling the procedure. I’m doing somewhere between 325-350cc high profile smooth silicone. I think it’s going to be a last minute decision. I’m nervous to go too big!
March 13, 2019
Me too. I know everyone says “oh you’ll wish you had gone bigger” but being too big is seriously my fear. I am very active and athletic and I want to look proportionate but not have them get in my way.
March 13, 2019
Yes!! Me too! Having them at all will be a game changer especially since I have hardly nothing right now! Not to mention the surgeon automatically adds an additional 25cc when implanting under the muscle.

Did your ps say the 270 wold bring you to a full c??
March 13, 2019
My left is slightly smaller PS estimated about 25-50cc less than the right side. So I’m thinking it’ll likely be 270 in the R and 300 in the left to reach a medium C.
March 13, 2019
Okay. What is your bwd size? I told he doc I saw today that I’d like a full b and he said 295 on my right and 275 on left. I am completely flat and I think he measured me at 11.2 or 11.5 bwd
March 13, 2019
She said I’m officially an 11.5 but we could pretty much make anything between a 11-12 work depending on cc and profile.
March 13, 2019
Also ... I’m flat.... but not totally. And bc of that some I think it’ll still be about a C. Look at my wishlist pics. PS Told me that 270-350 would put me in this similar esthetic look. She’ll decide the day of surgery the final cc amount. I gave her leeway of 50cc.
March 13, 2019
Got it! Thank you! You still have a bit more than I do. Good luck!

You and I look a lot alike!

I could have written this- length of pregnancy and breastfeeding, previous and current sizes, fitness level, concerns, and desired size- seriously, this post has been so helpful and comforting! Thanks for sharing! I am trying to figure out sizing- very worried about going too big, but also don’t want to wish I’d gone bigger! I’m slightly smaller than your before, so I’m thinking about 350. My ps said she thought anything over 400 would look too big on my frame to be natural looking. So hard!

Glad to hear it helped you so much. I kinda think another 50cc would have been good on me but I agree... much bigger and they would look obviously fake.

Doc is so reassuring

Emailed my PS late on Friday afternoon while I was really freaking out. Totally didn’t expect a response until mid Monday at the earliest but I got an email response from her later that night and another follow up during the weekend. She’s so amazing and has a way of being matter of fact and yet comforting at the same time.

Working to get out of my head. Focus on the goals. Realize that if it’s worth doing it’s worth doing now. Like my husband said .... this is something I’ve wanted for 9 years or maybe more. And if I don’t do it now very likely I’ll look back and wish I had, or I’ll plan and do some time in the future. So why not just do it now and enjoy it and stop wishing I had done it sooner.

Deep breaths.

These are the pics I gave to my PS. She agrees that this wold work on my frame and will use these to make the final choices on my size. Fortunately I didn’t have commit to a cc size before surgery. I told her what I was most comfortable at but gave her freedom to go up or down 50cc to make the best esthetic decisions.
