WORTH IT
I would like to start by saying this site has been super helpful while I've been finalizing my decision and doing research for my upcoming BA. I'm currently about a 34B and planning on having 375ccs Natrelle Anatomical 410style implants tomorrow on June 1st. I've breast fed 2 kids and pre-kids I was a full C/small D cup which is what I'm aiming to get back to with this BA. My PS said I don't need a lift as the Natrelle anatomical implants will automatically lift the nipples up giving me a mini-lift. My incisions will be in the inframammary crease and implants places under the muscle. For all of you who are struggling to choose the right size I would recommend buying a non wired "wish size" bra, in my case a 34D, and try it with the implant sizers at your PS'office and/or rice sizers at home. The rice sizers are so easy to make and in my opinion seem to be quite accurate or accurate enough.I will be able to tell you how accurate it actually is in a few weeks after my BA :)I haven't told anyone except my husband and 1 friend about the surgery. I'm hoping no one will notice as I've been wearing a super padded bra since April (2months) so the change wouldn't be obvious. I will be staying at the hospital for a few nights as I will have drains put in and it freaks me out being near the kids with tubes sticking out of my chest!To summarize:
Stats: 5"3' & 135lbs
Age: 30+years
Kids: breastfed 2 kids
BA date: June 1st 2016
Implants: Natrelle 375ccs anatomical textured 410style. Going for a more natural look (hopefully!)
Incision: inframammary fold
Placement: Under the muscle
Size: current 34B aiming for full34C/small34D (same size as pre-kids)Wish me luck ladies, I am getting a bit nervous as there's only 18hours to my surgery :/

I guess it comes down to personal preference with round and tearshape. Yes it's true the round ones become more tearshaped when they are upright. Tearshape just have that look constantly I would say and just imitate the shape of a natural boob more I think.
I haven't gone bra shopping yet as I'm only 13 days post-op. I'm still in the surgical bra and then I will need to wear a sports bra for 2 weeks once I get out of this. Wish I could fast forward to the 5-6 weeks post-op already :)

I have also been recommended by my surgeon to get teardrop implants. He top me it depends on where your nipple sits as to whether round will look good or not. Mine are to low and would cause what he called the "waterfall effect" being my nipples would be at the bottom of the breast and look really odd. I told him about my fears of rotation and Some of the bad thing I've seen surgeons say on the this site regarding shaped implants. He told me rotation is somewhere in the 1% range, not something to worry about. And when it comes to surgeons not liking them, that's most likely because they have not much experience using them as they are technically harder to use. Hope thy helps anyone having as much trouble as I did making a decision. I am now totally confident teardrop will give me the results I'm after. Less than 2 weeks till the big day and I can't freaking wait!! :D

@missmay86 I'm so happy I went with tearshape! I had the exact same fears obviously and the same situation with you i.e. deflated boob after breastfeeding two kids. Used to be a fullC/SmallD and went down to a B! Now with the 375ccs I reckon I will end up a34D/12D once they settle more.
Really happy for your upcoming BA and good luck :)

Morning of surgery
375ccGummyBearGirlMay 31, 2016
I am so nervous! I'm about to leave the house to go for my BA!
Wish I had some Valium to calm my nerves :(
I know I want to get this done cause I've not been happy with my post-kids boobs for a long while but man am I nervous! What if I don't wake up from surgery and my kids are left without a mother??? What if it hurts like h*ll when I wake up? What if they look and feel horrible? What if I get capsular contracture? What if the implants bottom out? What if I get the wrong size? Endless fears!
But I do trust in my PS and I think the choice of size that I've made (375ccs teardrop Natrelle) will be right for me as all I want is to get the volume back that I lost with pregnancy & breastfeeding and have a natural look.

Congratulations, best wishes your fears are the same as mine...
June 1, 2016
Thank you! I'm happy to say surgery went well and I did wake up :)
My PS showed me pics of me on the operating table and everything seemed to look good. I've tried to have a bit of a look myself but I have the surgical bra stuffed with some dressings and drains so hard to tell. But profile looked good!
What style and size implants are you thinking of getting?
June 7, 2016
I'm getting 350cc mod+ unders . Like everyone I waffled between the silly 25cc (325 or 350). I really just want to be the size I am with my crazily padded bra. To think.... No padded bra makes me so so happy!!
June 7, 2016
I know was undecided between 335 and 375. I'm really glad I went with 375! No more padded bras for me :D
Good luck for Thursday! :)
Good luck for Thursday! :)

I think those are very normal fears. You must be so happy to be done! Congrats!
My surgery is this Thursday. Eeeee! 3 more sleeps!

It's reviews like this that really help me feel better about my own fears! I'm obsessively worrying about all the same things, but knowing it's pretty normal definitely helps xo

So I've come out of surgery!
Everthing went well and my PS said the size I chose was perfect for me. I haven't really looked at them much cause I'm feeling groggy and stiff.
Can't wait to have a better look later!

I'm sure they will be looking fab! I'm having mine June 2nd TOMORROW! Ahhhh so nervous but excited hope your healing well and can't wait to follow the rest of your journey and see them X

Hi Sophie, what implant siza & style did you end up choosing? I'm really happy so far just peaking at my boobs lol
There's a natural slope to them already which is perfect cause o wanted to go with a more natural. I am wearing at strap on top but that's what I can see at the moment lol
Good luck for your surgery and can't wait to see your results! :)
June 2, 2016
I just told my PS I wanted to be a C and he didn't discuss the sizes... I trust him 100% though as I work in the same hospital as him etc, yes got to love a natural slope and not two footballs stuck to the chest hahah, how long you staying in hospital for? Thankyou!x
June 2, 2016
Okay so my surgeon just rung and cancelled and it's Tuesday instead I'm so annoyed
June 3, 2016
Oh that sucks! Tuesday is soon though so that's not too bad.
I've booked 5nights in hospital and hope that my drains will be out by the time I leave. I really would prefer not to have them at home. I have two small kids and they won't know how to be careful with me and I'm scared to death they would pull them out!
I have a question... When I asked my PS re anatomical implants ( tear drop), he said that round ones are better because less chance of rotation and when held up round ones look like a tear drop. How did u decide to go with tear drop ones?
I was researching loads on this website and decided on the tear drop for a few reasons:
1. The end look is more natural and less "fake" looking which I personally prefer for myself
2. The textured surface on the anatomical implants has less risk of capsular contracture.
3. The cohesive gel seems to be safer in case it would rupture as it wouldn't leak out
4. The tearshape implant gives a mini lift to the nipples and in my case I didn't need to get a lift as the implant lifted my nipples just enough to make everything look nice & perky after pregnancy and breastfeeding.
5.Base on my research and what my PS said the anatomical implants because of the textured surface and shape tend to "sag"/move less with gravity than round smooth ones.
The risk of rotation is not high especially if you wear the strap as my PS advised me to do 24/7 for the first 2 weeks and then only at night for 2 more weeks after that. The textured surface of the implant grips into the pocket where it's placed as well so that didn't concern me.
I've been really happy so far. They look really natural yet perky. I'm not even 2 weeks post-op yet and really glad I chose this shape implant. I would definitely highly recommend the Natrelle 410 style anatomical implants! I went with the MF (moderate hight & full projection) 375ccs which should make me a full C or small D. I haven't gotten measured yet and still stuck in my surgical bra for a further week or two.
What size are you thinking of getting?
I recommend trying the rice sizers at home but bare in mind if you go under the muscle you loose a little bit of the implant size, which is why I ended up choosing 375ccs instead of 335ccs and happy that I did :)
in a chest. 5'8; 123 lbs and 34A. So I definitely want a natural look, was thinking 34b- possibly c. Ps recommended rice simulators ( I did those) in 210, 250, 275 cc. It's so confusing ... I put a bra 34b, squeezed those rice sizers in.... Looks weird.
Anyway, I told him during first consultation I wanted tear drop look, more pedunculated/ hanging rather than 2 hills. He said that ( also recommended Mentor style- moderate plus) round ones will be better. He demonstrated in his hands... He held one up and under the gravity the silicone moved down, as well as when he held it on his hand it kind of spread around - just like Breast ( lol). So I figured that would be perfect. He also recommended smooth .
After looking at ur pics ... They r beautiful- I'm lost
