Hope to Squeeze in BA Before my 32nd Birthday! - Canada
ORIGINAL POST
Me: -31 years old, -112 lbs, -5'5" 1/2 tall,...
$6,500
Me:
-31 years old,
-112 lbs,
-5'5" 1/2 tall,
- Bra: 34A (29inch ribcage, 31 1/2 bust)
-very athletic
-retired ballerina/professional dancer (not a stripper!)
I have been considering having a BA on and off since I was probably 24 and thought it would be nice to 'fill out' a wedding dress. Well almost 8 years, 2 kids (6 and 15 months old) and 2+ years of breastfeeding, my boobs grew to about 34C while nursing and recently shrunk back down to almost nothing! Leaving me totally withered up and deflated....They've just disappeared all together.
I've had 2 different consultations about 4 + 8 years ago....so I know what to expect and what I'm looking for. I have just been waiting for the 'right' opportunity and timing with family and husband and having chid care help etc...Now that we're done having kids and boobs are smaller than ever....my mind is screaming that NOW would be the right time! Hoping to recover before Christmas, and hide my recovery under a winter/rain coat for 6 months!
Have a consultation next week...I booked it today thanks to some new found reassurance from a RealSelf friend. They have dates still available in October so I am suddenly excited and scared!

I'm assuming you're going under the muscle, you're gonna loose 25cc, so I say go 400. I think it will look really good on you!
UPDATED FROM 32birthdayboobs

Sizing dilemma need 375 vs. 400cc silicone help :-)
I have 'athletic' shoulders and slim everywhere else, 13cm BWD and 29inch ribcage (34A with empty cups). When all is said and done, I'd like to appear a natural Mid C Cup.
Going from the "3D Image of me"...I know 375 would look quite spread out across my 'wider' chest, and probably leave me 'appearing' a small C. It would look quite natural and wouldn't be obvious. I could easily play them up or down and would suit my slim frame..
400's look a bit too big at this point...however, knowing they lose some going under the muscle, and knowing the 375 seemed so spread out & natural looking on the 3D image, it makes me think the 400's would fill in the width of my chest better without looking too HUGE....but would still possibly appear a nice relaxed mid-C at 1 year post op. (Maybe I can pull off 400 without looking like a D)?
Wondering if there are any girls out there with similar measurements? Anyone out there with 400cc/unders and have small natural C result? (No Bigger!) Or am I dreaming? Hahaha!
Either way, for sure they would look hot, but I am attempting a more conservative look...Thanks for your help!

I would say 400 if you go under the muscle. I am smaller/shorter than you and I have 400 in my right and 375 in left. Honestly, right after my surgery I was worried I went too big but after the swelling goes down and the implants settle you will be glad you went for the bigger implant. It's true some women wish they could go smaller but the MAJORITY of women wished they had gone bigger!

PS, I am shorter than you but not smaller, actually. Your weight and BWD are less than mine. But I would still say go bigger because you appear to have very nice strong, broad shoulders. 400s will look very nice on your frame ;)

Thanks LakeGirl ;-)
I am going back a forth between the two...On one hand I could be more natural which is a nice look, on the other hand I could have that little extra Oomph with 400's! I am a notoriously poor decision maker. I will think and think and think and think and change my mind, and change my mine again. Ahh well, either will be amazing anyway right.
October 6, 2013
Yea you prob will go bck and forth on size like most of us did! And you're right, they will look amazing either way. But I think you can have the best of both worlds with 400s... I think you can have the oomph and still achieve a natural look. There isn't much diff Btwn 375 & 400 so i say go bigger.

Hi. I am a bit heavier, but had 350 cc's mod plus profile and I love my end result. Not too big, thank goodness. I was worried there for a while...:) I measure 32 D at VS.
October 6, 2013
We are almost exactly the same size! I'm 5'5 1/2", weighed 112 when I stepped on the scale this morning actually, 29" ribcage and bwd 12.5 as measured by my PS. I was a deflated 34A from pregnancies and got 304cc silicone implants a week ago. I still have a little swelling but am very happy with my size. The images I have posted are poor quality and I plan to post again as things continue to change. I know you are considering larger sizes but if you are curious what you might look like in 304's, you should check out my review.
October 6, 2013
Nice review and nice results! You're before pictures look quite similar to mine as well. I'm glad you're liking the silicone now. Curious if 304 got you into about a C cup after all the healing etc? It does give me a good idea...Something to go by.. Thank You!

Sorry I did not reply. I measure a small 34 C or large 34 B. i am guessing after everything settles i will be a large B. With 200cc I was a small 34 B. So 100cc more put me up about 1/2 a cup size. Therefore 400 cc probably would have made me a large C. I am thrilled with my shape and size but I do believe 400cc would still have looked very "natural" (nice slope and shape). My PS said that with having babies my tissue was loose so it would have taken 600+ cc to create a "fake" look. So I would not worry about the 400's, they will be great!

Thanks Misty3351. I think the 400s will leave me looking like a very full C...and If I can fit a 34C that would be a bonus, but I'm not gonna count on it. LOL!
October 10, 2013
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to say large C, I meant to say full, medium C. In other words, I agree that the 400 is the perfect choice for your goal, but obviously you already know that! Good luck!

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! Sounds like you've been to some doctor consults in the past, but since it's been a while, here are some important questions to address during your consult. You mentioned you know the look you're seeking. Any ideas about implant type or size? Keep us posted!
