Hey ladies I have read so many of your reviews and your journeys!! I am in the process of setting my date for my ba I haven't fully decided on a size im really wishy washy on that right now. Ok a little about me, I have had small misshaped un developed breasts since i lost weight when i was 16. I went from a c cup then down to a a/b cup. (ones an a and ones a b) they also remind me more of an ice cream cone than of breasts and after waiting all these years and researching I'm finally ready to take the next step! I am 30 years old I have one child that is 7 ( i don't have mom boob i wasn't able to breast feed cause of flat nipples) My i think is to be a large c cup or small d cup im really not sure im up and down with this and wonder how everyone made there decision?? I'm kinda scared of the healing process and how long I'll be out of work. (single mom and can't miss too much time) I was wondering if you ladies have any advice for me?? I'll upload a photo of my before also and once I get my ba I'll definitely upload some afters .

Finally a new review from someone in NC! I am in durhamand have started researching ps in the Raleigh-Durham area and gboro. We are similar height and weight. Im 5'3", 115 lbs. I originally was thinking a wanted large C but now after reading many reviews saying they wish they went bigger, I'll probably go closer to a D. I want the nice cleavage all the time and dont want to ever where a padded bra or push-up. I think you should go on the bigger side of your choices. In my case I think it would help balance out the hips. Did you already try in sizers?

hey thanks for commenting I did try on sizer's back in February but can't remember which was which I'll try them on again when I go for my pre op. I or finally was thinking small c. but now I'm thinking large c to a small d and I kinda want them to stay high (not under my chin but not under the arm pits) I'm trying to lose weight before the surgery too I wanna be at the 120 Mark instead of 128 it's good to know someone else from this area is on here too!! when are you looking to get yours done?

Just had ba 2 weeks ago. I am 5'1 and 123lbs. Was deflated b from breast feeding 3 kids. Had 325 silicone mod plus. Soooo wish I had done larger. Have to wait and see but already thinking about implant exchange. I will probably still buy padded bra at this point.

Not for a while still. I am going to wait until I have another baby. I don't want to have to get them redone if they get saggy while breast feeding.

How exciting for you! I have so much to share. Here it goes! First, a list of important questions to ask your PS during your consult. Next, a Guide to Breast Augmentation Slang to help you through the next few weeks and your recovery. Here is a quick video on how to make rice sizers at home to help you determine how many cc's you might want in order to achieve your desired breasts. Last, a list of items you may want to purchase and set up for your recovery. Looks like you have some great wish boob photos. These will be extremely helpful to your PS. Keep us posted and thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf!

Your before boobs are a similar shape to mine, and the same thing with my nipples! I didn't lose weight as a teenager (I was only around 55kg at 18) they've always just been this size and shape. My BA's the 1st August just before yours, good luck and keep us posted :)
