32DD VS Bra *Pic*
ORIGINAL POST
A little about me...I just turned 31, I'm 5'1...
WORTH IT$6,150
A little about me...I just turned 31, I'm 5'1 116lb, I'm more of a lean muscular athletic type. I have 3 kids and I breastfed all of them for about a year. For all the ladies that have breastfed I'm sure you know what they can do to your breast. My husband is very supportive of my decision so I'm thankful for that.
I've always been a 34C and loved that size, even when working out I did lose some volume but not much. It wasn't until I started training hard for a figure competition. With all the heavy lifting and body fat getting low I basically lost everything...well almost everything.
I don't know what size I am currently because I don't wear regular bras and I'm in sports bras the majority of the day.
I've already had my consult with the Dr that I have chosen. I chose him because he was referred to me by a friend that used him and other competitors.
So after trying on some sizers I decided on 300cc...so I thought that's what I wanted. After talking to some friends and looking at some B&A's I changed my mind. Because I'm petite I'm almost certain that I want to go 350 or 375, but no bigger than that. I just want to look proportionate, not jump out at you.
I don't even look at my breast, because I don't I didn't realize one was bigger than the other. It wasn't until I started comparing other pics to mine...I was like "geez, never noticed that"
I scheduled it for January because I'm not in a rush and I just have too much stuff going on now and until the end of the year and it's just impossible. So I have my preop on Dec 7th and 4 weeks later I'll have my surgery. Until then I'll read more reviews and look at another 1000+ boobs...cause I think I've just about seen them ALL.

Welcome to RealSelf! I'm about to start training for another figure show here soon. I had my lift and implant done April 3. it was the best decision I've ever made. Can't wait to get competition ready and see how the girls look. My last comp I was uneven and not even an A cup. You know how bad they look come comp time! Anyway, I got 260 in one and 350 in the other and I am a small D. I'm almost 5"2 125. Please keep us posted on your journey!

Hi!!! Remember I talked to you a few weeks ago? How is everything going? I am finally scheduled and ready to get it over with.
November 4, 2012
Wow, I must be losing it:) Yes I remember! Im so excited for you. Are you going over or under the muscle?
November 2, 2012
Hi there! First off, your body is amazing! Luckily it always seems November/December always flies by- your boobie day will be here super soon. Good luck!
November 6, 2012
Good luck! We have similiar stats, but I'm not quite as lean! Good for you! I think your gonna love the new look. The toughest part is not being able to workout for 6 weeks! It sucks! Take care!
November 10, 2012
Thank you! I'm definitely going to hate not being able to workout. I already know I'm going to be antsy. As soon as I can workout I will be working my legs out until I can do upper body.

Well...I thought I knew what size I wanted to go with, now I'm rethinking it. I'm thinking I may want to go with 400cc. I know it's not much difference from 350 to 400. I was talking with my husband one night and he made some good points that got me thinking again. It's a lot of money and I don't want them to look like what I can achieve now in a bra that I already have...does that make sense? I still don't want them overly large but I do want them larger than what I have now...obviously! I want to get my money's worth.

Thanks for sharing your story angel. Damn girl, you're ripped!!! Wish I had 6 pack abz...But I like ice cream and cheezeburgers too much lol. 400 cc's will look great on you....Look forward to seeing the post op piks soon:)
November 15, 2012
Hi. First, I luv your arms. Tips please! Okay, we are on the same boat...with the sizes. I'm stuck between 375 and 400. I'm sure in the end I'll choose 400, paying a lot of $ better make it worth it. My surgery is Jan 4. Good luck with everything and can't wait to see your progress!
November 15, 2012
Hi and thank you! Lots of pull ups, bicep curls, shoulder press, push-ups and tricep work. I'm a little bit of a gym rat. I'm leaning towards the bigger size because like you I want my money's worth. Can't wait to see yours either, we'll be recovery buddies. ;)
November 16, 2012
Can't wait for January to come! The more I wait the more I second guess myself. Oh well...

I think you should go by how the sizers look on you, and not so much by just the number of cc's. There are so many factors that go into finding the look you want. I decided it's just about impossible to compare yourself to online before/after pics because each woman is unique.
November 17, 2012
When I tried on sizers I thought the 300's were a bit much for me. After looking at pics I don't think it's as big as I thnk. I did do the rice test today and got a better idea of what I'm going for. I'm just gong to go in there and tell/show him what look I'm going for and let hm make a recommendation.
November 21, 2012
Size will come to you, no worries! Looking forward to reading more of your journey. ;)
November 21, 2012
Thanks! I'm leaning towards 400 so we'll see. I'll update after my pre op on December 7

Hi Angel! You're really petite! I think 400 might be a bit aggressive. I have a girlfriend who's a lot smaller than me (she's 5'2, 110 lbs) but has the same size implants (375) and they look much, much bigger on her petite frame! Not trying to talk you out of it, but just know that they will look pretty big on ya!
November 26, 2012
See, that's why I'm still back and forth with size. I've seen girls (athletic/muscular) my size with 4-450's that look pretty good...who's starting out with more tissue than I have. Then I read where that's pretty big for a petite frame. I absolutely love your results and I'm still thinking about 375 BUT there's this voice in the back of my head saying (and I read it everywhere) go slightly bigger. I did do the rice test (420 something) and loved the look, and I know with the actual implant being under the muscle and everything else it'll look smaller. I want to be bigger and fuller but I also want to make it worth it, know what I mean. Did you wish you were slightly bigger? I really do appreciate your feedback though, truly does help a lot. My preop is on the 7th so I'll keep you updated on.
November 26, 2012
Nope! i don't wish i went larger but my situation is a little different than yours. i dont have kids yet so i didnt want them to be HUGE when that happens. also, being that we are both 31 (at least i will be tomorrow!) this wont be your boob job and you have to go bigger the second go-around to keep that taut look. so i kept it on the conservative side. But if your gut is telling you 400 than go 400! :-) i was going to go 350 and changed my mind to 375 and am very happy with the size i ended up with.

So my pre-op is tomorrow, it was Friday but my husband is off tomorrow so I'd like him to go with me. I'm getting a bunch of questions together, I have some in my head that I'll be writing out tonight but what are some "must asked" or "I wish I should have asked" questions that you thought of after you left your consult? Much appreciated ladies!

Good luck and congrats! Keep us posted with pics

It might be a good idea to take pics with you of the look you're going for. I kinda wish I had done that.
December 5, 2012
Be thinking of you! Good luck! ;)

I agree with MamaSaun! Definitely take photos of what you like, but ALSO take photos of what you don't like! I took a folder with just as many "NO" images as I had "YES." I copy/pasted them into a Word doc and printed all the "LIKES" on one page and all of the "DISLIKES" on another and included what I like to call "Goldilock" notes on what I didn't like about each one. (too big, too small, too low, too high, too far apart, too close together...) The pre-op nurse will give those to the doctor to pin up on the day of surgery. If you haven't done this yet - get crackin'! ;-) Good luck tomorrow!

Thanks for the advice! Looks like we'll be boobie twins, only I'm getting HP's. I'm hoping my results are as awesome as yours.
Haha, you're really doing your research! Thanks for starting your story on RealSelf. It sounds like you have a really positive attitude about this. Keep us posted.
