I want all my curvy girls out there to have a post to reference. I am 5'9" tall and 180lbs. I have what I would consider an athletic but curvy build. I am a mother of two children, both breastfed. I had my children early in life and I can't even remember what my pre-baby boobs look like. I am fairly broad chested and broad shouldered. I don't see many reviews from girls my size, so I hope this helps someone out there. I am getting my lift and augmentation done by Dr. James Knoetgen. I had my first consultation about 3 weeks ago. I've been considering this procedure for about 5 years now and have hesitated because of my concerns over possible complications and scaring. My PS suggested I'm right at the border of needing a lift and not needing a lift. I'm going with the lift because I don't want my areola to be stretched to larger than they already are and I know gravity will still be here tomorrow and therefore I will battle it all in one procedure.

It did help. I'm curious to see people who get lifts and people who don't.

Im 5'9" and weigh 165 and would consider myself curvy athletic. I had a lift with 350cc silicone implants under the muscle 5 months ago. I am very happy with them, but I do wish I had gone a little bit bigger.

I'm definitely worried 400cc will be too narrow for my chest wall. I like a little "side boob". Kinda like I have now....but perky

So what size do you think you would have picked.... Hind sight?
March 23, 2015
I would pick 400cc...maybe even 450cc if I had to do it all over again.

That is helpful to hear. I really do worry most about going to big....but of late, going to small if definitely on my mind

What is your biggest reason for wanting to go bigger?
March 24, 2015
It's just a personal preference. But there are honestly a few good reasons that I should be glad that I didn't go bigger...right after my surgery, when I was still swollen, i felt like I looked heavier because they were so wide. so, I guess it's just a little boob greed :) For the first month after my surgery, I was hoping they would go down some, and now that they have, I wish I was a little fuller. Lol. I really am happy with how they are now though. They are perfect for my frame and my lifestyle :)

Thanks for sharing this. I'm glad you feel the implants you got were ultimately the right size and shape for your frame and life! Was this the size recommended by your surgeon?

March 24, 2015
Yes, my surgeon recommended 350 and 375cc, and I chose 350.

Good to know. I've looked at a lot of my PS's before and after photos, so I know I'm in good hands. I just can't help but stress out a little.

I'm 5'6 155 lbs. just got 595 and 655 HP Sientra's on the 5th. Left on the lift. I absolutely love them. I feel proportional and curvy and beautiful.

Hi There, although I am shorter than you I have a wide chest area and broad shoulders, plus my pre lift boobs were almost identical to yours! I had 345cc Textured high profile round Implants. If you have a look at my profile you will see a few pics if anything I wish I had gone just a little bigger (boob greed!) but generally fairly pleased.

Your photos were very helpful. Thanks

Glad they were helpful, good luck I hope you love your results. I am hoping to get my areolas made smaller and more circular in a revision minor op. I am going back to have a consultation with my PS tomorrow so fingers crossed I will get the result I hoped for in the end. The crease in the one areola resolved itself by the way!

How many cc are u getting
User Avatar
February 25, 2015
I'm still not sure on that one. I like 350cc, but I don't want to go too small. I'll post my " wish" pictures. Ultimately I just want the breast pocket I have, filled. I'm not really going for a big or even bigger look, just filled.

I think ur going to have excellent results with the lift n ba. I was also told I was borderline but the PS I chose said I needed a lift to get the results I wanted. I think he's right. My only fear is with a lift there may be a limit to the amount of cc I can get

February 25, 2015
That's what my ps said. He said any larger than 400cc might be getting too large
