I have been wanting bigger breasts since I was...

I have been wanting bigger breasts since I was about 20. At that time my now husbands response was "we'll look into it after kids", semi hoping me wanting a BA was a phase. Fast forward 10 years, I have a 3 and 5 year old and guess what I still want a BA. Only now after kids and losing 30lbs I want one even more. My chest is soooo flat and what I do have is very saggy. I booked my consults back in July 2014 and now my first consult is only 6 weeks away! Eeeek. I'm dying from excitement and I'm just starting this process :)

Hey :) I hope your Hubby gets on board ! They usually will be thrilled the same as we are after anyway, no madder what they say prior ! Get at least 3 consults ! Choose a PS that' has years of experience and good reviews !

Hi and congratulations on your decision. I wish i'd done it when I was thirty. My hubby wasn't keen until he realised how much it meant to me. I also found out recently that he was worried about the results and them looking fake. He's very happy now. im sure if you do your research and choose the right surgeon neither of you will regret it. Definitely one of my best lifetime decisions. Also this site is fantastic. Loads of wonderful women here to support you and answer your questions. Very excited for you ;-)

I think my husband thought I was all talk. After 2 kids I was missing my nursing boobs. My BA is a month away an I'm so excited. If is feasible I say do it. I think there will be a lot of mental benefits as well. I'm thinking 375 or 400 high profile round silicone. My pre op is in 2 weeks! It took a while for my husband to get on board but I think he is excited for me now.

Consult is done, Surgery Booked

Bopper84
I had the consult with my PS today. He was great, explained everything to me, took measurements, etc. He was a very down to earth guy and I only ended up trying on two sizers, 385cc and 415cc. I ended up picking the 385cc as I felt comfortable in them they seemed big but not "holy crap" big. The 415cc were soooo huge on me, I looked like I was going to topple over.
I decided to book in with this PS as I felt really good during the consult, so final decision 385cc High Profile (or full projection as he referred to them). Surgery date is only 3 weeks away, March 4!!! Of course now I'm questioning if I'm going to get the look I'm wanting etc. I think it will be all good, I'm nervous though.

The sizers look just right on you! You made a great choice! Glad you found a Dr you feel good about. What an exciting time!

Not much difference between the two sizes. But most want it bigger after the swelling comes down. I had some boob greed at the beginning too!

The Great Size Debate

Bopper84
So two days after my initial consult I started debating size (you know I wasn't going to be "that" person, lol). I had tried bigger sizers on at my consult and totally dismissed them pretty much as soon as I tried them on. They felt huge, looked like they projected a lot, etc. my hubby's opinion was also that they were "way too big". I thought that I dismissed them way to quick, and that they weren't really that much bigger (385cc to 415cc). I ended up calling my PS office and they were able to get me in today for a re-sizing appt. the girl was absolutely fantastic, answered more questions for me that I forgot to ask during my original consult. She told me the #1 regret with BA is not going "quite" big enough and she told me that this week alone had 3 calls from women all who had their BA's in the last 3 months who wish they had gone bigger, 2 of those already have revision surgeries booked for bigger implants.
So the girl let me try on both sizers again, even put one of each size in at the same time so I could see the difference and the difference was very very minimal. She also assured me that my PS will NOT ever put an implant into someone that would look ridiculous on them and too big for their body. His practice is to do natural looking thats it. She said if I had come in wanting a 600cc implant, based on my measurements there is absolutely no way he would ever even consider doing it. This made me feel really good.
Anyways, I ended up changing my mind and going with the bigger implant, the 415cc. Thoughts?

I'm not sure if it's the shirt but I think the size in the white shirt looks great. They are pretty close but they say under the muscle holds them down a bit. I have 400 hp round and still waiting for them to drop. Hoping for a full C at the smallest. Good luck

What profile are you getting?
February 14, 2015
The ones in the pictures are high profile

415cc look good on you. I think you'll be satisfied post op. We have the similar breasts and I think that in order to fill our breasts out, we defintely have to go over 400cc.

Seems like women always wish they would have gone bigger, so if you're on the fence bigger is probably the way to go. My ps would tell me, we're only talking a couple tablespoons difference. You look good with both!

Even at my body weigjt..I am about to go to 450..I nursed three babies and a what my breasts looked like stretched or a huge D..and they were gorgeous..so if I were you..I'd convince the hubby :-)
