I aways had small breast. It wasn't until after I breastfed my youngest and got in very good shape that my small but perky boobies started to sag. That's when I finally had "that" conversation with my husband. I was surprised that he was so supportive. I guess after being married for 15 years, I forget that he's still, you know, a DUDE!! Lol!! I went to my first consult with Dr. Aaron Smith in Colorado Springs. I loved his bedside manner. He made me feel very comfortable. I wish I had found this site before though because I didn't really know what to ask or even what size I wanted. After sharing with him my lifestyle, I'm very fit and I lift weights..lots of heavy weights, he recommended 334cc or 364cc. Any ladies out there from the Springs? I could use all the support I can get!! I will post pics soon.

Here are my Itty bitties!
I finally got the courage to post my tatas. After looking at many, many (more than I've encountered in this life) brave posts of before and after, I decided to be brave and post mine too. This is soo not me. Not that I'm all that modest but I am a private person. But I can honestly say that you all give me courage. ...So about my tatas...as you can see, they are small. I think I'm a 32AA because 32A don't fit me. I have a huge gap even when I wear padded 32A or 34A...On the side view, you can see that they are saggy.

Bravo to you for getting the courage to post! I am also a very private person, so it was initially hard for me to post postures as well, especially pre-op! I am now 4 months post-op. I went with 250cc under the muscle and am really glad that I didn't go any larger (I still ended up a D)! I am also a very active person. Feel free to check out my profile. Do you have a date set yet for your surgery? Good luck!

Hi there! I just saw your pics. You look great! I'm 48 years old so it is so good to see others make this decision at this stage. Did you get high profile? If so, why? I'm still learning the differences in profiles.
December 3, 2015
Thank you so much! I ended up getting moderate round, for a couple of reasons. One, I was worried that the high profile would stick out too much and two, I read that there was a risk that the implant could turn upside down and that would be a real problem with a high profile implant. It wouldn't matter with a round implant.

I felt nervous about posting my pics as well, I am now glad I did so I can see where I started from. I need to update again but I am now 15 weeks post op and I think they have settled into place now. I was a 34AA-34A, with 450hp cc's I am now 34DD. I am so happy now!!!!! Good luck!!

High or Moderate Profile?
I'm still trying to figure out the difference so that I could make an informed choice between moderate or high profile. From what I understand is high profile gives you more projection so you may appear bigger or higher and you have less side boob? Is that right?

Moderate profile is wider in diameter than hp,I guess it depends on your chest width (BWD) though, mine was to small for a moderate profile, especially since the size I wanted to go to , hp was a better fit.

Hi! I posted some pictures of the girls so you can see what high profile look like on me. I have to say, I run, so side boob is not something I really wanted. I also realize as thin as I am up top (ribby), at certain angles and lighting they really do look like implants, but I like their upper pole fullness which my PS said I should mostly keep even after they have fully settled. The other reasons for me getting high profile, was I really would not have been able to get much in terms of cc's with moderate plus (next projection down from high profile in Mentor implants) with my narrow BWD, and the whole point of the BA was to have something to show for it, so to speak! ;-) Please feel free to message me or post any questions you would like to ask. I really feel this site is a wonderful way for us all to feel not so alone in our journeys, get some really useful information, and to have a good time getting to the other side together. Good luck and I can't wait to see how your journey goes!!!

Inspire18 your pics were extremely helpful not only because you're athletic but also because we're closer in age. I'm 48 :)

Thanks so much for answering my questions. I'm pretty much alone in this journey, so I appreciate your replies to my questions...and your pics; )
December 4, 2015
I did the journey alone as well....until I found this site. Any questions you have, please don't hesitate to ask! At 51, my only regret is that I didn't do it sooner, but better late than never! Have a great day!

For the same volume (number of cc's), high profile projects more in front of your chest and moderate profile spreads more to the sides and gives more of a possibility of cleavage. Being flat to begin with, I wanted more projection than side boob. So I chose HP.
Did the doctor let you see the implants so that you can compare?

I do recall him telling me that he thought I would benefit from me upper fullness as opposed to side width because of my strength training lifestyle.

It totally depends on your BWD! I went into my BA thinking mod profile only and to my surprise my PS said either HP or UHP! ugh imagine my upset lol so don't decide on a profile prior to a consult! It totally varies depending on your personal measurements! I love my full profile Allergan Inspiras. The Inspiras are allergans fullest fill implant, so they would be more perky than the others. Mia's epiphany and MagicalUnicorm both also have Allergan Inspiras :)

Absolutely :) have you done some sizing already? I am sure he will tell you what your restrictions are. Mine told me on my sizing appointment that I couldn't go bigger than a certain size based on my BWD, so he should be pretty transparent with you :)

Thanks Mandys7. That makes a lot of sense. I need to see Dr. Smith again and get my BWD!
