I decided to gift myself with a breast augmentation for my 30th birthday which will be Aug 4th. Yay me! I've never been 100% happy with my breasts. I was the last girl in school to develop. In high school I was an A cup or barely B. I was in sports but hated to wear a sports bra because my boobs would disappear. Fast forward to now and after some weight gain I've come all the way up to a full B or small C cup. I had my consult with Dr. Max Gouverne here in Corpus Christi on April 24th. The whole experience was excellent. I never had a moment of feeling rushed, pressured or embarrassment. I had my mother come with me to my consult, because if anyone is going to keep me from pornish boobs it would be my mother. She's my BF. I was, however, unable to decide if I wanted the 500cc or 550cc implants. I am 5'2" 165 lb. I have a 30" waist with 45" booty. Side note: I also waist train. I will be getting Mentor HP silicone, under the muscle implants. I will be making my final decision at my pre op appointment on May 27th. Dr. Gouverne suggested the HP to give me more upper pole fullness, which is what I want to achieve to look I've always wanted. I'm super excited and just hoping I don't end up with boob greed.

Congrats on the upcoming twins! IF you can't decide between 500 & 550 go 550. When in doubt, go bigger. It's really only a matter of tablespoons I think and I *read* (idk the accuracy) you lose about 50cc's when you go under the muscle. I have 540 in my left & 510 in my right. My surgery was April 24th so I'm only 3 weeks out but I have moments where I wish I went bigger, even though that's a big implant for my frame and they haven't even dropped & fluffed yet. Hope that helps you in some way. Good luck-keep us posted!

I had my BA 5 days ago and I went 450 HP Natrelle and I wish I went with 500ccs to look like 450, so go 550 if you want them to look like 500ccs Good luck with everything!

So I got a call confirming my pre op appointment for next Wed. It's when I'll pay in full and make my final decision on 500 or 550. I'm 99% sure I'm going 550. Thank you ladies for your well wishes! The boyfriend is warming up to the idea. He knows it's something I've mentioned time to time the last 12 years, but I think he never believed I would. I don't believe he likes that bigger boobs may attract unwanted attention. We'll see how it goes. In the mean time I'm still super excited! I need to start looking for some post op sports bras. Any suggestions? I'll be taking two weeks off from work so I'll have 10 days post op to rest. I hope that'll be enough. 14 days.....!!
