I have been in a bra since 4th grade. Always hid my breasts. The past few years, I have begun to embrace my size, but am 53 now and carrying some extra weight. I am 5'3"" and weigh 165. My back is sore, my posture is awful and I have ridges in my shoulders. I feel like my boobs are way out in front of me. I want to be more comfortable and more "perky". Saw my PS and he says he can take 575 g and get insurance coverage. He thinks I will be a "c". That seems small! I can't fathom 575 grams or what a C is. I am afraid I will be too small for the rest of my body.
Trust my doc a lot. I am a nurse, and work with the PS, so I have seen his excellent work.

OK...Percocet is my friend!! I have peeked several times and I think I like them!
Sides are sore, and I'm tired. Other than that, I feel pretty good. Made and appointment to have my nails done, but I'm not sure I can maneuver to drive.
Like someone else, I still have tensing upo...need to relax.
I found out that he took around 1000 grams and my surgery was a little under 2 hours. My mouth was very dry when I awoke, and I was nauseous, but after Phenergen and Zofran I was good to go. Just had some frozen yogurt and that helped the soreness in my throat (from intubation). I can't beleive the difference in my body.

Let me know what you think of your new size. My surgeon said he wouldn't make me any smaller than a DD because he was afraid that anything smaller would look disproportionate.

It's hard to tell yet....I may want them a bit bigger! They are so perky though. And...they are proportionate to my body.

Surgeons want to talk about appropriate and inappropriate to patients. I think we know what we want and its up to us to pick the end size. I would trade an A cup for my G, its up to me. So girl, tell him your preference. Not his.

Now that the swelling is down and I am used to my new self...I love it! I am a 38D now...may still go down to a C cup. I cannot believe how much more comfortable I am.

yiiiaaay! Cant wait for that! I want to repeat your words my sister. Counting hours before my procedure!!

How are you now Michele? Am a 38B now but a lot of swelling stil going on. Am just 3wks post surgery and am just concerned about how long this swelling wil be around lol! anxious for my final me.
My PS asked me to wear underwire bras during the day and boob tops during the night for the next 2mths before I go in for my final appointment. Did u have to do the same? Good luck as you recover.

I am doing much better, thank you!. The swelling is still there, but much diminished. I had a lot of liposuction done on the side, and he says that may stay swollen for months. I am surprised about the underwire, it seems like many of us were told to stay away from them. I suppose it depends on how uncomfortable they are against underscars. I still find it more comfortable with a bra on, despite being smaller. Hope your recovery is going well!
I think a C cup is a pretty nice size. What is your current size?
