Hi! FINALLY gone through with BA consult (only after talking about doing it my whole life) and have now scheduled it for March! Went to my consult Tuesday, did the try on etc. and we have decided (unofficially) to go with 350cc silicone gel sub-muscular high profile implants! I say unofficial decision because they asked if I wanted to do a final try on at my pre-op because we considered 400cc as well which I obliged...thus, my reason for this post. I AM TORN!! I am 32 A, basically AA, no kids, small frame, athletic (minor pec development)...etc. Have been 156lb at basically two points in my life, but naturally am a 120-130 lb girl on my frame; HAD some boobs years ago with birth control and when I was overweight, but majority of my life have always had MIA boobs. Also, I have a butt. So proportionality has always been a goal for myself too. With that all being said, my biggest fear is that I didn't go big enough (shocker)! I measured 12.5 BW and were pretty set with 350cc, but the doc wanted to show me 400cc because I was also curious on larger....torn with the 400cc and of course he said many implant companies are shying away from 375cc etc so getting those would be 20x more expensive...he said either 350 or 400 would look good on me, and IF he could make 400cc fit, it would be an option too if I really wanted. SO..opinions?? I want big, but not ridiculous big for my body and self in general. But I also cringe at the people who start my size-ish and they get implants that basically just bring them to have a normal A..no judgement here, it's their prerogative, but me if I'm paying for boobs I'M GETTING DAMN BOOBS! Lol. And yes, opted for high profile because I desire that cleavagy look, which I also want to have cleavage without a bra on (Or at least them still be all close and dandy and not go arpit to arpit with no bombshell bra on, yanno)...Cleavage is goals.
Sorry for the rambles, just am so back and forth ever since my consult and want to make sure I have made the best decision by the time my pre-op rolls around (2/27), and I AM INDECISIVE AF!
Please, any advice would be stellar!
Gonna attach some photos shortly so please bear with me.

I went for my pre-op yesterday and I am exactly two weeks out today. We did another try on and ultimately decided again with 350cc HP mentor memory gel silicone implant. The nurse was initially helping me with try on and I wasn't set to see the Dr for the final decision, but he actually ended up coming in to just be present so I ask his final opinion again....and he feels for what I want and my size, leanness, etc that the 350 are best--the 400cc were going to get more into that 'I am trying to look like I have fake boobs' concept he said (my doc is very honest), esp bc the ones he would use fell more into the ultra high profile range & were a totally different implant brand. And he said if we could make 400cc fit he'd want to do a different type (ssx?) for a lesser chance of rippling because I am so lean up top, and of course those were more expensive and I had JUST paid soo lol. And honestly, wearing the two implants in the bra, the 350 just felt so much better! Immediately the 400 were semi uncomfortable with my back, like a noticeable wow these will be a little heavy and since they projected more than 350 I just felt like I was a wannabe Dolly Parton almost haha. I am still a little anxious with it all and still truly do not want to feel like I should have gone bigger, but ultimately I am confident with my decision on the size I did. Now this no drinking and no ADHD meds (I'm a student w/ semi severe adhd) for the next two weeks (4 for drinking) sucks!!
ps. Adding pics of the 400cc from the try in yesterday to compare to the above with the 350cc in.

Best wishes to you! It’s so exciting preparing for a BA! I obsessed with the size. I read tons of reviews and looked at way to many before and after pics! Lol! I changed my mind a few times before finally finalizing on my size.

Surgery done!
ajanechatMarch 17, 2018
Hiiiii! I am sitting two (well kinda 3) days post op, surgery was Wednesday 3/14! Today is the first day with no major pain or need for the pain pills...however, I have an extremely high pain tolerance ha. I am still extremely uncomfortable though, mostly from the lack of activity but also from my extreme swelling! I basically can’t even see my cleavage due to the swelling...and oddly enough, I am really swollen under my pits! And that’s the semi painful swelling area. Side boob is major lmao. Def praying as the d&f and swelling goes down they will come together much more bc they seem extremely far apart to me right now, which is not what I wanted (but I know I had a lot of pectoral muscle to have to loosen up and they may stay semi apart)...but could also have part to do with how much chest swelling I have overall. But I am really hoping the swelling will really dissipate soon for it is causing most of my discomfort it seems. I have iced a lot more today too in hopes of alleviating some of the swelling. Sleeping on my back sucks! My ribs and back have been hurting some today too causing major discomfort, but I’ve been using a heating pad on my back. My abs are gonna be super strong once I’m recovered too ???? my recovery nurse kept telling me abs and legs. And omg you don’t realize how much you use your pec muscles until you can’t/they hurt!
Update on size: went with 350cc natrelle memory gel in both sides, inframammary insertion. In recovery, I was told that there was now way 400cc would have fit bc it wouldn’t have allowed my incisions to close. Aka bummer, but also good to know I literally went my max that my anatomy allows. My nipples already have sensation as do the top portion of my breast. I was not instructed on any massaging thus far, thinking my ps will mention at my post on tues 3/20.
I’ll update after my post op appt!
