Hi, Everyone! I am 40 year old mother of two...

Hi, Everyone! I am 40 year old mother of two munchkins--3 and 10 months :) I started off as a 32a (seriously like non-existent!) and I had always wanted to get them done so about 7 years ago I finally did but was nervous that they would be too obvious and I went conservative with 305cc silicone under the muscle. I saw Dr Horn in Chicago. I really liked them but almost immediately I wished I had gone bigger. I had zero cleavage without a pushup/padded bra and to get the look I wanted I found myself never leaving the house without pushups! Fast forward to now and I have breastfed both my munchkins and now my breasts have lost volume and I am beyond ready to get them redone! I am petite (5'4 and 115 pounds) and want to have a natural but full look. I don't want to have to wear a bunch of padding to look like I have boobs and I want cleavage and am hoping to get rid of the big gap I have between my breasts (I can fit like 4 fingers between them!). I have a consult with my old doctor on Saturday(Dr Horn--but I have read a few negative reviews lately and I am not sure about him now) and a consult with a new doc (Dr Patel) this Thursday. I am thinking 350? 375? But I don't want them to be too big. Do you think that would work on my frame? I am hoping for a 32dd when I am done! I am putting a pic of what I look like now (but I think the pic is more flattering than what I actually am). What do you ladies think about size? any suggestions on profile? round or anatomical?

Honestly, I seriously doubt you will see any difference at all with either 350 or 375. In order to get something even slightly noticeable, I think you should get between 400 and 450. It is really not much of a big change even then. Going through surgery should at least be worth it.

Thank you! I didn't realize I would need to go up so much so maybe I should look at more 400 plus!

Go bigger. I have 375cc silicone and they are small. I wear D cup. But not much cleavage or fullness. Look like b cups to me. Good luck.

I think you look beautiful just like you are and I'd leave them alone. Too many things go wrong during revision. My revision was a "must do" not a "want to". One side leaked and both sides were hardened. I am suffering from a bad outcome during revision and it makes me wish I had never started this years ago. wait for the must do. These things don't last forever.

Here is what I look like without a bra in a tank top. Even with a BA I look practically flat. It sucks!

With bra

hollyglightAugust 4, 2016

This is what I look like with major push up/padding. I want to look like this--probably a little bigger without a padded bra. How big do you think I need?

I'm actually in the same boat as you. My first BA was in 2014. Because of my measurements I had to go conservative at 350cc. I really want to go bigger. I'm looking at 550/600 because I don't want to wear a padded push up bra anymore. I think your PS would tell you going from 305 to 375 isn't going to make a difference. I think a cc is about a tbsp of liquid if I'm correct. Good luck. I have a consult Sept 20th.

Thanks! You think I should go bigger if I'm able?? I guess i thought 375 was a big jump!

So your pre bra and post bra pictures are very different. I'd say you look double the size in the bra pic which to me looks great!

Thanks! That's what I want! The padded bra I look totally different and no one would know I'm so small lol I want to be at least that big after my revision !
