Well, like most of you that have gone or are already going through this I am feeling a little nervous about picking out the size of implants. I am 5'5" and about 145.. average built. I already have 34 DDD breast and am going in for the lift, however I know I will not be happy in the long run because with weighted breasts I know that they will eventually fall and be saggy mammy jammies again! lol I tried on some sizers at my consult and think that 200 was nice however talking with his assistant she recommended 250. Because he goes behind the muscle she thinks I would be happier with the 250. I am afraid that this will be too big like Really Big!! I'm aiming to keep the size but really want the upper pole fullness. But then will the 200 not give me the fullness?? AAHHHH! I have yet to pick a date out yet although I know it will be in the next few weeks. Then the next dilemma is silicone or saline. I have a few friends with both and they are all happy with what they chose, any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!! Would really love a tummy tuck too but being a single mother I guess one thing at a time.. Thank You all!!

Set the date!!

So I set the date!! July 31... I am experiencing the nervousness and anxiety that I'm sure most of you have too. I think my biggest fear is that my nipples will be lop sided lol. or one will end up being bigger to the point you can tell.. I plan on posting some more before pics in some of the clothes I have that I have not been able to wear because my boobs will not let me. lol I am hoping that my pics will help those of you who are larger breasted and would like to keep your size but get a lift and or lift with implants. I have had such a hard time finding pics of women with larger breasts that are getting this procedure. Anyway, the countdown has begun, and if any of you who have already been through this has any advice on things I may need beforehand I would greatly appreciate any advice... Thanks!!

Look at my pics. I think our before pics are kind of similar. I had D/DD before surgery, but they were very saggy with no upper pole fullness. My PS said that I had a lot of breast tissue compared to most of his patients, but my tissue wasn't even throughout my breasts. I chose a mentor 405cc moderate profile silicone implant. I'm only 3 days post op, but so far I LOOOOVE the size! I know I'm still swollen so I feel like ill be perfect once I'm all healed up. Congrats on scheduling your surgery!! Bring LOTS of pictures and make sure you pick a surgeon that you trust to make you look like the pictures. Good luck!!!!! :)

Wow andi!! The girls look amazing!. My PS had be try on 200 and 300. He felt 300 was too much but talking to a few people I am thinking that after the lift and behind the muscle the 300 is going to be what I want. And to think I was thinking a week ago that 250 was a bit much lol.. I guess I feel a little bigger that expected will be better than a little smaller.. I am so happy for you!! I know I will probably cry too when its all done and I see the results and being able to put on a tank top and not have to worry about my boob laying on my belly lol! I will def take lots of pics. I see him this Fri for my pre op and to pick the cc... aaaahhhh... so stressful .. well you get some rest! Take care.

I just had my BL/BA today and it went really well! I was à 34d or 36c before today and He put me 450cc saline under muscles...i have à padded bandage until friday for my 1st postop appointmemt Im so anxious to see the results cause I havent seen them yet!
July 18, 2013
Glad to hear all went well!! I am so excited.. especially reading about all of the experiences that all the ladies have. I know the next two weeks are going to go by fast but right now it feels like forever. Is there anything special I should get before hand? OH!! What size does he expect you to be after? Im Thinking after the lift that the 300cc should give me nice upper pole fullness... I don't wanna really be any bigger per say beings that I am a DDD I figure by the time he takes the excess skin lol and adds the cc I should be good?? What do you think??

At my consult with my PS I asked him if I could have a 275cc implant along with my breast lift..He told me no, because the implant would be too small for my already large breast...I was à 34D before..He put me 450cc I think, I will know it at my first post op friday...
July 18, 2013
I wanted 350cc but my *PS disagreed .He said because im 5ft10, or would not change my breast à lot..so I listened to him and chose the 450cc..After all, He is the professional, hes been doing this for 30 years so..
July 18, 2013
Hmmm.. see when I tried on the 300 he said he felt it was too big. I have pics to take in tomorrow which is my pre op. so we shall see what he thinks..

hi!! i had a similar case to yours! i was a very deflated 34D-36C and really just wanted a lift, but several doctors told me that i'd be better off with a lift + implants! i had a breast reduction when i was 22 (i'm almost 40 now), and the thought of adding implants just really terrified me because i already had big boobs once and i hated them! so, the PS who i felt most comfortable with suggested i go with 200cc moderate profile silicone over the muscle. i tried them on and kinda thought they'd still be too big even though i'm tall. in the end i decided to trust my PS and take his recommendation. my surgery was yesterday (!!!) and i just had my first post-op this morning. i finally got to have a peek at them and i'm kinda thinking the 200s are too big for me! i'm definitely swollen right now, and i know they drop and have a much better look to them in the coming months, so i'm hoping the 200s turn out to be the right decision because i sooo do not want to go through another surgery (even though this one was an absolute breeze!) i just posted a few pics today so you can see what a smaller implant does for someone with quite a bit of breast tissue already! :)

Getting the weekly jitters! So my PS and I talked about 250cc.. looking at some pics of others and I'm wondering if it's not going to give me enough upper pole! AAAAAhhhhhh! I hate second guessing myself. However he thinks 200 will do the job. I have faith in him but I think he, as weird as this may sound because I want semi-natural looking boobs lol, he wasn't too make me more natural than what I want. I gave him pictures of what I want to look like, I guess because I can't find pics of women with as big breast as mine it's hard to determine what I feel I'll need. But... I guess I'll pray that this will be enough. And like all of you, be happy that they are up there instead of resting on by stomach! lol
