Hello Ladies!
I'm 36 and have 3 children (11, 5, 2). I've always wanted larger breasts and planned on having breast augmentation after my husband and I were done having children. NOW IS MY TIME!
I've visited several doctors and finally decided on Dr. Christopher Chung in Corona, CA. I'm also having laser liposuction on my flanks. We decided on 550 cc's moderate plus round saline implants. I'm 5'6 & 145 pounds so after measurements, I could've went up to 660 cc's and been ok.
After talking with my husband, I'm thinking I may want to go up to 600 cc's because it wasn't that big of a difference. I just don't want to regret not going bigger after the fact.
Any input would be greatly appreciated!

*UPDATE* Sooo... I went to my Pre-Op this morning...
Sooo... I went to my Pre-Op this morning and decided on 600cc. I'll need a little more in my right breast so 600/620ish. We didn't discuss the lipo on my flanks too much because we talked in depth about that at my consultation.
I hope these next 10 days go by fast!!

Thank you for sharing your journey on RealSelf! Glad to hear the pre-op went well today. So are you prepared for your recovery? Help with the kiddos, etc? Here is a helpful list of things to purchase and set up before your surgery. It will be May 7th before you know it!
I had my surgery yesterday, YAY! I ended up...
I ended up getting 550cc's overfilled to 600 on left and 630 on my left. I also for lipo on my flanks.
The ride home was brutal because I felt every little bump on the road. The first hours were very painful and on top of that, my lipo incisions were draining like crazy! After I got to bed and slept, I felt a little better, especially after putting cold compresses on the girls. It's really sore by my armpits so I can't really reach for anything. Good thing my husband is here to help!
I had my follow up appointment and finally saw my girls - they look like torpedoes! Dr. Chung told me they will drop and I'll be very happy and I believe him! He 'milked' a couple of my incisions and fluid mixed with blood came out, so gross! Dr. said its good that I'm leaking so much because the alternative would be me all swollen and I don't want that to happen!
I've attached new photos after surgery.
