33 Yo, 2 Kids, 5&#x27;5&quot;, 107 Lbs, Deflated from Breastfeeding - East Syracuse, NY

August 10, 2016

I was excited to see your post cuz that exactly where I am at right now. My breast have the same deflated look and with my first consummation I was considering 275cc to 300cc but I'm so confused as to size. I have my second consultation today so hoping to gain some clarity and also wanting that natural look. My surgery is Aug 31 so excited and nervous

Hi! I'm exactly same weight as you but an inch taller. I have very small shoulders and little chest tissue though. I am about a 32 B. I carry my little weight in my booty and thigh area but still tiny. My surgery is at the end of September. I'm going through EXACTLY the same thing as you with the concerns. I was also given the suggestion that I could go anywhere between 250-350 cc. My surgeon just asked me to start snapping pics of the look that I hope to achieve and to not get caught up on what cc's we're used (if that info was provided). He also wants pics of what I dislike and don't want. He is pretty confident that I should go silicone gel moderate plus profile. At the intitial consult 300 cc's were what I seemed to be leaning towards. My question for him next time after reading and looking at pics is also another concern of yours which is could the the moderate profile be to wide for my frame. Or too much side boob. I too get very confused when looking on this site at what was used on some women. There aren't hardly any women with my frame. Your probably one of the closest but you have better shoulder muscles. I work out by lifting weights but it VERY hard for me to gain muscle since I don't have a lot to begin with. I'm fit and healthy just little. I so feel your pain when it comes to the confusion. I don't want to make the wrong choice. I don't want to go to small but I DO NOT want to be to big. For me being to small would look way better than being to big. I have a lot of friends that have implants and they all are either happy with their size or wish they went slightly bigger. I keep going back and forth but I think I might go 300cc moderate plus profile silicone. But I think I will also trust my surgeon to look at what I want and see what he thinks in the OR. He said he will have 3 different sizes in OR and he with try them, sit me up and see what he thinks. He has an impeccable rep in va beach so I trust him. But, I'm still VERY nervous. I think I'll feel better at my last consult before my surgery. I'm sure in the end since we both have done our research we will end up with what we hoped for. Sorry I'm not much help but thought I'd chime in since we have some things in common.

Also My surgeon said when looking at this site the women look different bc each woman starts out with different amounts of natural breast tissue. So for you and I 275-300ccs might not seem like alot in volume but we both are starting with a little something vs a gal that is completely flat. Same goes with a girl that gets 250 cc but she is starting out with like a size full b small c. Does I make sense? It's hard to explain somethings by just typing.

That's why I'm wondering if 300's are what I MIGHT go with. I just need to keep researching I think.

See I'm crazy confused too! Sorry for the improper grammar. Didn't check before I posted.

Thank you so much for all of your input and sharing your experience! It's helpful to know there are others in the same boat! I hope it goes well and please keep me updated. Ps - I'm also terrible about proofing before I post lol!

I just booked my appointment and out the deposit down. It's getting real! I had my second consult yesterday and got to take home sizers . Of both size 275cc and 300cc I still can't make up my
Mind. I feel like the smaller size is "perfect" but he said to keep in mind that once placed under the muscle it will appear a little smaller. So that's what I get hung up on. Also he said that come surgery I am still undecided they will likely try eithet implant size in the pocket they create to then look and see which creates the look I desire. Then make the decision based on that. Unless I am firm on one of the sizes. Anyways looking at pictures helps but like the person above said it make a difference on what you start out with.

August 12, 2016

Great advice! Thanks for giving us your experience. Helps! This is a lot of money to get something you aren't happy with.

After being top heavy since I was 15, I wished I had YOUR "problem". Consider yourself blessed . My breasts got so big postpartum that I could not breastfeed. Although I am 4'11" and now wear a 34D , the ins com still refuses to allow breast reduction. My shoulders have creases in them from bra straps from carrying these boulders around on my chest. I guess this is the wrong forum for me but I just wanted you to count your "little" blessings...

Confused

wells1234August 10, 2016

Deciding on size is so difficult. Loving all of the pictures and information on this site, but almost getting more confused because the same sizes look so different on different women! I tried the 1 cup rice sizes which is supposed to be a it 235 cc's and it felt huge! Assuming you lose some by going under the muscle, I'm thinking 250 is the right size but my dr initially aid I should be looking at 290-350! Can't wait for my preop so I can ask more questions. Wish it wasn't so close to my surgery date!

I posted a question about sizing and have gotten some really helpful answers from different plastic surgeons. You can read through those perhaps to help you with your sizing issue or even post your own question.

Thank you!

Preop!

wells1234August 31, 2016

Finally had my preop appointment! Feel SO much better about everything after meeting with my dr again. He was very patient and I feel very comfortable about our decisions. While I wish saline was a better option for me since you know when there's an issue, I'm going with smooth round silicone. I tried on 200-300 sizers in the office and was shocked at how big even the 260s were on me!! Turns out, no matter how similar the basic stats, everyone is completely different. We ended up ordering the 210s and 240s (next size up) and will make decision day of. The difference is so minor, and I think I'll go with the 240s at the end of the day since I forgot that you do loose some volume going under the muscle. Based on my 13 breast width, he's going with moderate profile.

I also feel better knowing I can go for walks and do basic things - he said its all common sense and I feel good about that.

Can't wait for my surgery next Fri 9/9!

Hey there. Good luck on your surgery! I'm 3 weeks out. I have my pre op next week so I'll be curious as to what the final decision will be.
