I am 26 years old, 5'5", about 155 lbs and I'm tentatively getting 650cc. After having 2 kids and losing some weight the girls are just not what they used to be. My breasts have always been a little "top heavy", (they never really rounded out) and my left is bigger than the right. I've always been self conscious about them so why not get them fixed.
Had my consultation today for the bigger and better boobs today. I feel very comfortable with my doctor; he took the time to go over the pros and cons of all my choices and discussed what I wanted. He suggest that I would also benefit from a lift but he didn't push the issue, which I loved. I am planning a lift at a later date but I should get rather nice results from just the implants right now.

Is bigger really better?
So I've been hearing different versions of this question quite a lot today. Is bigger really better? Is 600-650 going to be too big for me. My PS said that I could do any where from 450-650 but that 600-650 would get me the look I was going for. (I showed him pics, Scarjo anyone? lol) From women that I have talked too to some reviews I've read I keep hearing go bigger or you'll wish you had. Which is why I picked the bigger size...... now I'm questioning myself. I think its time for the rice test.
Here are some before photos. I've never taken pics of my breasts before so I was very taken back today looking at these. I just can't help but think "wow, my boobs are ugly." I've never thought they were pretty but now.... just wow.

Did you do the rice test yet? I makes a big difference in how big you want to go. I did it and put 2 sports bras on and it was still tough to run and play with my little girl. How old are your kids?

No I haven't done the rice test yet, I want to that this week. My kids are turning 5 and 3 within the next few months.

So exciting for you! I think you should go with your gut and listen to your PS's advice at your last pre-op too!!! A middle ground between what they know and how you feel is at good spot ;) Best of luck. You have lots of breast tissue to start with so be prepared for a nice natural result!!! Keep this in mind too, when choosing cc's!!! You will be so happy :)

Thank you! I plan to go back and get a lift in a few years. I think I will go with the larger size and reduce later if need be. I'm still gonna do the rice test just to see though. :)

Is it time yet?
I'm getting impatient! I just want to have my pre-op appointment, decide my final size, and have at it. I just want to have the new boobs and I want the healing process to be over with. I'm anxious to start a new workout program but I know it will be awhile till I can actually go all out.
I bought a few bras to wear for after, I got one large and one extra large, but I didn't get a chance to try them on at the time and now I think I need to return the large. One thing I am worried about clothes wise is not being able to wear my husbands old tshirts. I stole some of his high school tshirts when we first started dating (8 years ago) and I've never given them back. I'd hate it if I couldn't fit in them after. I think it will be a really tight fit but if I could wear them while pregnant with our daughter then I can make it work. lol

Take the shirts with you to your preop appt and wear them with sizers. If they are too little you can always cut the sides and add funky fabric or lace it up with cute ribbon. :)
