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 :)

Consult is done, Surgery Booked

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 Great Size Debate

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?
