Today I had my pre-op vist at Dr. Marchant's office. I am scheduled to have my surgery on march 11th 2015. I had to feel out alot of paperwork, I recieved some antibiotic soap to wash with on the day of the surgery, i recieved my prescriptions for pain medication, and a doctors note for when I return to work. I made my final decision on what type of implant, size and what incision I am going to get. I am going with the sientra moderate profile silicone implants (gummy bears)!!!!! Yay :-) im so excited. I am 5'4" and I only weigh 110lbs and I am a very very small A with no breast tissue, thats why I wanted silicone implants. I wanted them to feel as real and soft as possible being as though I have no breast tissue. Today I was so undecided about the definite size I wanted to get. I didn't want to go too small and reget the fact that I should have went bigger, but at the same time I didn't want to go too big being as though I was only 110lbs. I had my heart set on the size 410cc implants. When I looked at reviews of other ppl who were simular to me, and they only went to 350cc or 375cc. I just didnt know if 410cc was to big for my size. I didnt want to look like I had two balls sticking my chest. Luckily for me, I'm slim but I have broad shoulders and a wide chest wall. Dr. Marchant told me that I would be happy and I wouldnt regret getting 410cc and they would be too big b/c the width would fill up my wide chest wall. I was able to choose 380cc as well but I didnt want to reget of not going bigger. Melanie, Doctor Marchant's patient coordinator was great and very helpful and informative. Melianie is the best patient coordinator I met in a breast augmentation consultation by far and I've been to a few. She really helps you try to find the look you are going for. She even showed me before and after results of Dr. Marchant patients that were not posted on the website. The results were amazing!!! They should really update the pics on the website with new ones or add more. I am just super excited and nervous to get this procedure done. I've wanted breast augmentation for years now. Its finally about to happen. I will post before pics the night before surgery. Five more days to go let the count down begin!!!!

Just had mine done one week ago. My input to you is that if u want to go with a natural looks and proportion with your height and weight...410cc is quite big for your size. I'm 115...5'2 and just had 300cc due to my skin cavity. Talk to your PS about the measurements and see what fits you best. Good luck!!

Thanks for the advice. I trust Dr. Marchant's judgement with the 410cc. I feel pretty good about it and im ok with the size. I plan to pick up some weight the next few month. I just recently lost between 15 to 10lbs by changing up my diet. So if they dont look proportionate with my body Im pretty sure they will when I pick up some weight.

Good luck! I'm using Dr. Marchant as well on March 11th. I'm getting a mini Tummy tuck and 400 CC mentor moderate plus which is silicone. I'm 5'4 but weigh in the mid 120's. Remember we are all built differently so even if someone else is your height and weight they may have different bone structure. I would trust your gut and the doctor.

What size is your rib measurement? Or stats are basically the same and I'm wanting to get around 400cc done for myself. My consultations in June so I still have time to think it over. I'm just worried I won't be given the option of 400 because I'm around a 34

I dont really remember the measurements they told me but I have very broad shoulders. But I think the told me that I was 13.3 arcross im not sure if that was for my shoulders or my chest wall. I even had the option of even doing 440cc to but I thought that was way too big when I put sizers in my bra, but I can find out for u tomorrow I talk to my doctor tomorrow

I was like a 30aa lol but I guess it depends on ur chest wall and what size implant u need to fill your chest wall. They told me that I would need "moderate profile" and with those implants the bigger they are (amount of cc's) the wider they are. I guess it just depends on your body type. U might even think about getting a different profile like "high profile" or "moderate plus profile"

I am scheduled at dolyestown surgery center at 10:30am. Dr. Marchant saw me in the pre op room and marked my breast. I had my last questions and concerns put at ease. Dr. Marchant was very understanding with my concerns. All remember is going to the O.R room and then waking up on the recovery room and they were done. I love them!!! I thought that they were going to look too huge. They look very proportion it when I comes to my body. I felt like crap on the drive home and the first few hours was painful until the medicine kicked in. I recieved a call from melaine a few hours after surgery to see how i was doing. Dr. Marchant calked and checked up on me as welll. I told him i was fine just in alot of pain and from what I can see he exceeded my expectations. They look great and they are not as high up and werid shaped (frankienboobs) as i thought they were. I just have alot of pressure on my chest, im using ice packs, that seems to be working. but I will keep u guys updated.
