Tall 5"11" 155lbs, 36 Yrs Old, Nursed Two Kids...ready to Feel Confident About Breasts! Folsom, CA

ORIGINAL POST

Hi Ladies! Well I have been looking on here a lot...

Hi Ladies! Well I have been looking on here a lot and was on the fence on whether I would actually do my own review. I decided that since there are not a lot of tall women reviews on here I should. I have two children 5 and half and 17 months that I nursed for over a year. I was a nice 34B before children and now I'm not really sure what I am but it's not good. I'm still wearing my 34b bras but they really don't fit well. I don't fill out the top at all. So here I am! I'm having my first consultation this Monday (Jan 4th) with Dr. Clark in Folsom, CA. I'm very excited, but also nervous. I actually haven't set up any other consults because I've such great things about her. Is that stupid? It's only been just short of 4 months that I stopped breast feeding my son so I'm also nervous to see if she wants me to wait until 6 months. That would be fine I guess, however, I do feel that I'm dried up at this point. I'm really tired of obsessing over this whole thing so I would like to get on with it and get it done. With that said, I'm a little nervous because my husband can't take off much work and I don't really have a lot of help with my kids so I have to figure out how that is all going to work. As for what I would like the end result to be...well I keep reading that when you are tall you should go up higher in CC's. My husband has been telling me this and at first I thought this was just his way of getting me to go large but after reading some things on here I'm starting to think he's right. I would like the end result to probably end in a nice D cup. I don't want to be too big but I really don't want boob greed either. I'm also really on the fence about round or anatomical. I would certainly like a more natural look, however, after nursing two kids I don't want a lift (and think I will be okay without) but I am afraid that the anatomical will look too droopy. I have to say I'm a bit overwhelmed and confused by all the different types of implants. I will probably have a lot better idea of what I'm going to do after my consultation in two days. I will try to post some photos of myself and some wish pics soon!

TallGurl17, I am also a "tall girl" living in Tampa, FL. I am 5'11.5", 158 lbs, but I am 56 yrs old and my child is 28. My story is VERY similar to yours as I am a 34B now after recently losing 22lbs. I would also like to be a nice D cup. My consultation is in 2 days (Jan 5) where I will also be discussing a TT as I have sagging skin and stretch marks I would like taken care of. I have scheduled 2 other consults on the 15th and 26th but I am most impressed with the before & after photos of the PS that I will see on Tuesday. I will be following your journey.

Good luck tomorrow! I only went to one doctor ;) I'm happy with him very much! I'm only 11 days post op so I'm still waiting for all swelling to go down as well as the "drop and fluff". I'll be looking forward to your updates!

Congrats on your new boobs! I hope you are recovering nicely :-).

Thanks for your review! I'll be following your story. I'm also 5'11", almost 35 and nursed/pumped for 2 kids. I'm probably a 38b as well, but who knows since bras are always gappy on me too. Love your wish pics, that's exactly what I want as well but would like to lose 40 lbs first and make sure I'm completely done having babies first. I'll be following you! Good luck!

January 4, 2016
Hi, thanks for your post. I wanted to wait until I was done having babies as well and I can say after 2 I'm done! Good luck with your weight loss :-). I am about 5-10lbs over what I would like to be but I think by time I have my surgery I can do something about that.

January 4, 2016
I will follow you. I am 5'10", dealing with dealing deflation after weight loss. My BA is 2/3/16, I will be having brachioplasty at the same time.

I like to follow the taller ladies to compare notes! Good luck with your consult!

Thank you! That's great that you have your surgery already scheduled. I'm hopefully right behind you! :-)

I am going to follow as well. I am 5'10 and surgery is set for this Wednesday the 6th of January. I also have a 5 1/2 year old and a 18mo so our scenarios are quite similar. Let me know if you have any questions!!! I'm excited.

How exciting for you! I wish I was doing it Jan 6th! Are you going to do a review? I would love to follow your journey as well. I'm thinking my doctor may tell me tomorrow that I have to wait until March for surgery since I stopped nursing mid September. For me I just want to get on with it so I can stop obsessing already...ha! Good luck with your surgery on Wednesday!

I did a review this morning but it has t posted yet! Thanks for your well wishes I'm kind of anxious, nervous, and excited at the same time. I too have been obsessing these last few months. I hope it comes soon for you.

your second 'wish pic' is one of mine in my hope chest, too!
I'm excited for you that your consultation is so soon... i have one in feb and the other in april... sheesh, just keep saving $ while playing the waiting game, lol. do you have any before pictures?
User Avatar

Hi, it's funny because I have seen that second "wish pic" in so many ladies reviews. It's a good one! I've been waiting for my consult for a month and half now so I know about the waiting part. When I first found this website my husband said he wished I could get the surgery the next day so I would just shut up about boobs! Poor guy hehe! I'm excited for tomorrow...one step closer to getting some nice boobs :-).

Hi there! I would suggest round instead of anatomical because anatomical can rotate and round still give a really natural slope. And I bet you will grow to love the added upper pole fullness :-) your husband is right that taller girls can carry much bigger implants! I was a 34B (but lost some weight before BA and probably a 32 was a better fit). But I had a gap between my bra and boob sometimes and that really bothered me. I went with 415cc and in a 34 bra it brought me to a D. But check out my pics--they don't look like how D's look (at least in my mind). Based on your wish pics I would suggest at least 500. Don't be scared by the CC. How big you can go should be based on your BWD and your wish pics. A girl with a smaller rib cage, shorter, or different BWD will look completely different with a certain CC. Also based on your pics it looks like you really like a lot of upper pole fullness and cleavage. I'd be sure to mention that to your PS and ask what CC would make that attainable rather than mentioning a certain bra size. Going with a recommendation based on your body's dimensions and wish pics should be the best way to avoid the dreaded boob greed and achieve the results you want. It's a long journey and congrats on starting it!! You won't regret it ;-)

I meant at least 400cc but 500 would be closer to the look of some of your wish pics :-)
There's another tall girl on here who ive been following. She got 500 and looks great! I'll look for her profile name...

Hi there! So happy to hear from you because I had already looked at your review and it was so helpful to me. First let me say your boobs turned out great! Some of your photos could be under my "wish pics" for sure! So you did round? They look so natural and perfect for your frame. My boobs are not that bad for breastfeeding two kids, but I def need the upper pole fullness and have zero cleavage. I agree with you on not getting caught up on CC's. If I've learned anything on here it's that CC's are not something to stress over. I want a certain look and so I'm okay with whatever it takes to get there. I'm really liking your size and look so I may not need to go to 500 but I guess we shall see what the PS says tomorrow. As for my wish pics, some of them are a little bigger than I want. I'm just going for my consult tomorrow and I feel like it's Christmas morning HA!

Yep I went with round, smooth and a full profile (closer to high than mod plus in the new Allergan line of silicone implants). I'm glad my review has been helpful and thank you for the compliments! This has been a rollercoaster ride of emotions but I really do love mine :-)

Check out chloe8877 if you want to see the 520CC I was talking about (but if your wish pics are bigger than what you'd like then somewhere in the 400s seems smart. Let me know if you have any questions! :-)

I checked her out and she looks great. I think she is a little larger than I would like to go. My husband really would like me to go her size but I think DD is just a little more than I can handle. Thanks for giving me her name so I could check her out :-).
January 4, 2016
Good luck tomorrow! You'll probably feel better after you have a consultation. I only lyrics went to one doctor for a consultation as well. She had so many good reviews and I had a good gut feeling when I first went to the office.

I was super nervous too. (Ended up doing 4 consults) But, nothing to be nervous about--be excited! Let us know how it goes.
January 4, 2016
Hi! I just had my consult right before Christmas and my surgery is booked for 1/29. I was so excited I had to get the closest date. As you will find today, the doctor will help you find what size and shape. The biggest worry is picking out the size, I am still in between 2 sizes, I love your wish pics!

Pretty annoyed right now. I wrote a whole long update and then when I went to upload my photos everything froze and now I have to start over. Arg! I wasn't sure that I would actually want to put pics of myself up here but all of the brave women on here that have done it made me feel like I can be brave too. In the pic front on you see the difference in the sizes in my breasts. I didn't think it was that noticeable, but in this pic it's very noticeable. I'm wondering if it's the cameral angle a little bit. We did address that at my appointment today but she wasn't sure it would be a factor when doing the surgery. So let's talk about today! My appointment lasted 1hr 15 minutes. I was really hoping I would like her since I didn't have any other doctors I was interested in and the good news is...I loved her! She was great about answering all of my questions. I feel a little silly because I thought I would be trying on sizers today but found out that doesn't happen at the consult. I did think the Vecter 3D imaging was kind of lame. It didn't really help me to figure anything out. When we talked about size and I showed her my wish pics she said with my frame I could do 500ccs-600ccs. I know I said I wouldn't get freaked out by CCs but that does freak me to a little. I did tell her that my wish pics are a little bigger than I want to be. So we sorta ended up around 500ccs but it's early. I was really leaning towards anatomical because I want to look natural. After discussing this option with the doctor she said that I could do either round or anatomical but she would probably go with round for me. I have good roundness and shape at the bottom of the breast but my upper breast needs fullness. She said the anatomical are really great for ladies with very small breasts with little space between nipple and breast fold. I was told to play with the rice sizers. Did any of you find the rice sizers were helpful and accurate? I was afraid that she was going to make me to wait until March because that would be 6 months from my breast feeding ending date but she said I'm good to go now. I was thinking why not do this sooner than later so I can stop obsessing already. So my appointment is Thursday, January 21st. Two weeks!! I walked out there in a bit of a daze. I can't believe we are doing this in just a few weeks. Okay well that's all for now ladies!

So glad you liked her and felt comfortable with her. I found the rice sizers to be helpful and I think they were really accurate. I tried on sizers at my consult, but doctors do things different. It just depends what they prefer. I had a quick turnaround between my consult and the actual surgery as well. I think that helped me because I tend to overthink things. Excited for you! Congrats!!

Glad to hear the rice sizers are accurate! I am so happy to have a fast surgery date after consult...I think my head is going to explode! ha!
January 5, 2016
Congratulations! 500-600 will look great on your tall frame. After leaving my consult, I am considering 500 myself. I am tall and thin as well. Check out cookiebaby, she is tall and did 500 mentor mod +.

So happy for you!!! My ps said 600 and I was originally thinking 450 and the number freaked me out. After looking at others pictures that are tall as well I find most have find 500cc and up. So settling at 550 doesn't seem so big anymore. My review is up also !!!
User Avatar
January 5, 2016
I think you are right. 550cc is probably going to be perfect for you and probably somewhere around where I'll end up. I started following you!!
User Avatar
January 5, 2016
Good luck!

I've used rice sizers to see how certain clothes will fit me with larger boobs. Some people wear them around to get used to the size, but I haven't tried that yet.

I think anatomical implants are only good for certain cases. If you hold a round implant up, it will look similar to the anatomical one.

You will look fabulous!
User Avatar
January 5, 2016
Thank you! I guess I always associated round with the "balls on your chest" look. I now know you can still achieve a natural look so I think round is the way to go for me.
January 5, 2016
Congratulations! My friend got anatomical ones and I hate to say it, her breasts look droopy, like she needs a lift. I'm not sure if it's due to the shape or not. Either way, I'm sure you and your surgeon will make a good choice!
User Avatar
January 5, 2016
I actually appreciate hearing that because that is a fear of mine when thinking of anatomical so I'm pretty much going towards round now.
