Hello realselfers!

After years and years of considering this procedure, months of research and surgeon interviews, I'm finally taking the plunge and have scheduled my breast augmentation with Dr. Jason Leedy of Cleveland Plastic Surgery. My surgery is paid in full and scheduled for May 31st. I couldn't be more excited/nervous/terrified/elated!

There was a time when I was pretty happy with my boobs, and that's when I was on birth control; they were plump, luscious and pretty big (full 36D/34D). After quitting birth control and really taking control of my diet and exercise regimen, I've slimmed down majorly, and my boobs have disappeared. While I still wear the same bra size (shocking; I know), my breasts are completely deflated and seem to have lost all of their stuffing. I don't recall ever really having what one might call "perky" boobs, but I've always loved them and don't want to change anything about their shape or position, only the size.

Though many physicians would and have said that I need a lift, or am borderline, I've opted not to at this time, as I believe my expectations fall well in line with the probable outcome. I'm not sure if I'll be having children, but I'm definitely open to a necessary future lift if I feel I need it. I just wanted bigger, softer, luscious womanly breasts, and in nature, those sag a little! (And I like that :).

I have full faith in my surgeon, his current and past patients, and the countless examples of his stellar work. We're currently looking at Mentor round silicone implants, mod + or perhaps HP (scary! Lol), in the 400 cc -- 470 cc range. I'm pretty nervous about the size, as I want them to be big enough to fill in my loose skin and displace the tissue enough, but I'm afraid of looking top heavy, as I have a slim-ish profile that I've come to enjoy. I believe we will select the final size at my pre-op appointment on May 20th.

Anyway, please feel free to comment advice or ask questions! This site/community has been one of the most helpful tools in this process :).

If you want soft boobs - implants are probably not the direction to go. I just had my silicone implants of 35 years removed and love, love, love finally having soft boobs. I was flat as a pancake when I got my implants so was thrilled to finally look like a woman in clothes, but sure never had soft boobs. I think my boobs look better now than ever which sure came as a surprise. I never thought I would be able to remove my implants without being disfigured terribly. My implants had ruptured, my GP had been after me for several years to have implants removed and this site gave me the information and confidence to "get it done". I'm a 38C now and was a 36AA when I first got my implants. Your breasts do get bigger with age. Good luck.

Perhaps I should say I want "squishier" boobs, not softer. The silicone I've felt in the office feels heavenly, and I have a good amount of my own tissue to blend with the implant.

Hopefully your body won't develop capsules around the implants which contract and make hard bags out of the implants.

Am sorry but your commenys have been tather negative towards this poor girl. You sound not encouraging at all. Why pit worries and doubts in someone who is closer to get a surgery. Am sure she is aware of capsular contractures are, if the words ypu were looking for. Any surgeon or good surgeon would mention it. I dont see the necessity of your negatives comments Howard2005! If you have nothing nice to say, dont say anything at all.

Information is power. Years ago when I got implants, I was not informed that the formation of capsules around the implants happens to almost everyone. Sorry if you don't want to be an educated consumer.

Good luck with whatever you decide. Not your Grandma, just another woman who wanted boobs that I wasn't naturally given and was happy with my implants, but they were not trouble free.

I'm sorry you didn't have enough wherewithal to educate yourself prior to your procedure. Unlike yourself, I am well aware of the risks associated with BA; I work in the medical field. Your negativity is misplaced and unwanted. You should take some personal time to reflect on why you feel it's necessary to push your misfortune on others. Be well :).

Don't know why you asked for comments since you know it all.

I believe the implants 35 years ago are not what they are today. I had the chance to feel in my hands saline and silicone and they both feel really real. That said, am also going for a Mentor smooth round high profile silicone implant cause my doctor refuse to do saline since a few years ago. Better results! Anyway with you measurements I would definitely go high profile and 470cc. Am 5,6 1/2 and 130 and my surgeon suggested 450 to 550. My friend has 480 and she is my height and they are perfect!!! I hear too often i should have gone bigger. Am scheduled monday... Also excited/ nervous/terrified :)

You are in such great hands with this surgeon! I had my BA almost 2 years ago and am thrilled with my results! Every body...every person...has different expectations and he does his best to achieve what YOU want through the consultations. I actually went in 3 times to try sizes and even made 'rice sizers" at home to try them out to get used to what I would look like in my clothes etc...The staff was more than accommodating to help make me comfortable in my final decision. He is a board certified PS with a great reputation! My breasts look AND feel great! Also, as I am sure you already know...implants are not what they were even 5 years ago...they are always making them better! So, no worries and best of luck! Just remember the bigger they are, the heavier they are...depending on your activity level etc...;)

Thank you for sharing! Yours look absolutely lovely, by the way. I am definitely a little worried about the size and how heavy they'll be.....I have one more appointment on 5/20 and we'll pick the final size. So nervous! Any other tips and advice are very welcome :).

I know I'm a few months late to this post, but I got 339mod plus silicone implants on April 28, 2016- and I love how squishy/soft/full my breasts are! I too had the chance to feel both silicone and saline and when my PS said he leans more towards silicone, that made my decision easy. I hope you are loving yours and enjoying their squishiness lol. . . Thankfully my PS is a young 34 year old, so in 25-30 years he will still be around to do my revision when these implants get crunchy and old and need a lift. ;) (dry humor directed towards the negative nancy comments)

She can't have had that many problems if she had them in for 35 years! If mine last that long I will be more than happy to have them removed at 70 :-) x

These are 450 or 430 cc's, I believe, so my doctor said a 470 cc implant would get me to this look. Do they look a little large, though? I am used to a more slim/flat profile. I just don't want to look top heavy.

Anyway, here are some boobs I like.

My surgery is scheduled for 5/31, and I'll have my pre-op and final size selection on Wednesday 5/18 -- very excited! I think I'm burning myself out on this site/app, but I'm completely obsessed with following everyone's journeys. The only thing I'm really stressed about is picking the right size; im terrified of being too big. Help!

Hi good luck with your surgery! I had mine with dr Leedy 9 days ago and am super pleased with my results so far. As for picking a size, I would honestly leave it up to he dr. He is the expert and has done so many of these procedures I'm sure he knows what is best! I too was obsessed with websites, FB groups, and photos, but ultimately went with what he decided would give me the look I wanted. I'm excited for you! Can't wait to see your results :)

Thanks so much -- super psyched! Also, your outcome is lovely; congrats to you! And you're right, I'm probably going to let him have the final say on size/profile. I'm pretty confident in his skills :)
May 15, 2016
Like others have said...go with his recommendation and your gut...also, I actually went in 3 times to try the sizers on! The staff was so great with me and just let me in the room to have the time just to make sure! I also made the rice sizers at home to give me an idea of what I would look like in some of my favorite things...just put them in a non padded bra lette...good luck!
