Hello ladies! :)
I'm 22, 5'2", 112lbs and currently a 32b-ish. Met with my PS earlier this week for my first consultation, and haven't been able to stop obsessing over everything since!
Wanted a "full C," at first, but thinking maybe a "small D" now after seeing how magical these silicone babies are lol! Tried on sizers from 325cc up to 400cc and LOVED 385cc. Any suggestions for my body type?!
(Wondering if that's too big, too small? I don't want "boogie greed" after going through with all of this! :) )

Someone asked for current pics to better help judge good implant sizing for me. So here it is, sorry the pics aren't very good/shadowed. Lighting in my home is dim.

You have beautifully shaped breast, from looking at the pre-op, I don't think you could go wrong with hp or mod +. You look like your bwd is not wide, but your PS would know best, If I had to guess I would go w/ the 400cc HP, when in doubt go bigger, especially bc you are so young, you have time on your side ;-) Seriously your natural breast are beautiful, it would be hard to go wrong, don't get hung up on cup size. I thought I would come out as a full D cup, and I am a 32DDD, it sounds huge but it really just fits body, I am 5'6 128lbs, and I have 20+ years on you ;-). You will look amazing!!! Your wish pic looks like it would be perfect for your body. Good luck!

Thank you! You're too sweet! And I'm just worried I'll have back issues and be saggy when I'm older if I go too big now, lol! I wanna stay perky as long as possible. :) I've only consulted with 1 PS so far and he recommended the mod profile but apparently for Sientra that's comparable to mod+ profile in other brands. Is it common for PS offices to use the computer imaging to give you an idea of 'before and after?' I was really discouraged they didn't have that tool at the office I went to.
December 14, 2014
I had that computer imaging at my ps's office. It was neat but not that impactful for me... I mean, it's just a rough guess really.
My ps recommended the gummy bears because they hold their shape better/longer. I'd definitely check out at least one or two more Dr's and shop around on here until you can't see straight :-)
December 14, 2014
Lol I already can't see straight. So much info floating around in my head lol.
My biggest concern was commuting post op being uncomfortable and everything, I hate hotels (chronic germ-a-fobe since like age 3 lol), (and I'm a CNA go figure lol), and for all pre and post appts.
I feel like I asked you this before but did you do textured or smooth? Sorry I've commented back and forth with so many people it's hard to keep things straight.
December 14, 2014
No worries at all, mine are mentor 450cc Smooth round HP, under the muscle. If you did go to Dr. Wells you are just a drive away from home, a little over an hour. You will be so out of it on the drive home you won't even remember driving home. Just would need a pillow to place under your arms/chest for support on the ride home. It's a good thing you are doing a lot of research, it is a big decision and not one to be taken lightly. Sorry the mom in me is coming out again ;-)
December 14, 2014
My momma supports me 100%, but she hasn't experienced this (she's WELL more endowed than me lol). So you can be my BA momma ;-)
December 14, 2014
LOL! Wow even your natural projection is perfect!! Lucky girl! I can see the lower pole is fuller than the upper pole, but it has a natural teardrop shape which is an ideal starting point. Looking at the the side profile, I don't think you would need to go to 400 if you are aiming for a C or small D, probably more in the range of 300cc. But definitely need another opinion. If you do decide to see her, let me know, because I can let her know that I am sending someone from RS to her. Glad to help in anyway!! :-)
December 14, 2014
it is so hard to keep everything straight on here!
so much going on :-)
i got textured!
my commute was a bit over and hour and that wasn't a big deal.
i basically slept the whole way home and my bf took me back the next day for my post op
i have a two week follow up this coming friday
and then not sure how many times more i go??
not sure how far your distance is...closer is obviously more convenient--but i know some women travel a long ways to make sure they have the right dr
December 14, 2014
I'm sure I could make arrangements to accommodate traveling an hour or so. Definitely worth it to be sure I've analyzed as many options as I can. I don't want botched boobies. Lol

Not all surgeons have 3-d imaging, I saw that you are in maryland, it would probably be a about 1 1/2 hr drive, but my surgeon is Alyson Wells, she is one of the best in Maryland, other Real Selfers have used her, I apologize for my "mothering" but bc you are so young you really want to go to the best you can, and I totally agree you don't want them to sag. She does not have 3-d imaging and she literally is one of the top surgeons in MD. I would definitely get another consultation. Even if you don't see mine, I would get another consultation. Dr. Wells really likes Mentor implants, but I she is SOOO great at helping you decide a size and shape that best fits your body. I don't think she has a lot of pics on her website, but she has pics in the office. She is in Cockeysville, MD 21030. Again, your breast literally look perfect to me right now so I can only imagine the WOW factor they would have larger. I am not sure 3-d imaging is always helpful, you can do it on photoshop almost as easily as they can 3-d imaging ;-) What is your current bra size?
December 14, 2014
I actually looked at your profile earlier and already researched her a little. ;-) her website alone seems very professional and I was impressed. Should I be concerned that my PS office did my consultation for free? Or is that sometimes the norm?
Unfortunately no computer means no photoshop for me lol, just my IPhone. :-)
Oh, and I'm truly barely a B. PS said I really have little breast tissue.
December 17, 2014
So sorry I missed this yesterday! I have found that most PS don't charge for consultations. She initially will say it is $100 but, I don't know anyone that she has actually charged for the initial consultation. She is not a doctor out to make a buck. If you make an appointment with her and tell the receptionist (I think her name is Kate) a patient from RS recommended her, I am sure she will wave the consultation
fee. Especially if you explain you are coming from such a distance. I had barely any breast tissue as well, I was barely an A. :-)
December 17, 2014
Okay thanks again mapd0912! I stopped by the PS office again today to put them on my 21 question trial lol. My BWD is right 11.5 and left 12. That worries me now! Lol
December 17, 2014
That is on the small side, the profile also has a lot to do with your pectoral muscular structure and how your final result will look.
December 14, 2014
sorry, I just saw you said 32B, not to discourage you from surgery, but I keep looking at your pre-op pics and if I looked like that pre-op there wouldn't have been a post-op!!! They are gorgeous, be careful with those "girls" :-)
December 14, 2014
LOL THANK YOU! If only I felt the same way about them. They aren't quite as pretty when I'm not cold, they're more cone shaped/pointy (for lack of a better term). Sorry TMI lol.
They just don't match my hips/thighs/and gigantic bottom by ANY means (which you can't see in the pictures obviously lol), I just want to be more proportionate.
December 14, 2014
I completely understand. After having kids, I felt out of balance, never had hips, I was like a stick figure, and then had hips and curves after kids. So I totally get wanting to be balanced :-)
December 14, 2014
Now everyone's freaking me out, lol. I never actually considered that I may dislike them more after surgery if they don't look as nice - shape wise. I just kept thinking, they'll be bigger, so they'll just have to be better lol.
I'm so back and forth right now that I definitely can't make an educated, accurate decision. :-(
December 14, 2014
ha, welcome to the ba club, where everything and anything can suddenly freak you out :-)
this is really a personal decision for you. you are beautiful already...but a lot of us are post children and trying to correct ourselves back to where we were plus a little :-)
feeling like you would feel better about yourself if they were bigger is your call
i would say to just go consult with a few plastic surgeons first--see what they have to say--what they suggest, what they think.
try on some sizers--where some bombshell bras around if you already don't
get an idea of what you'd be heading towards
and then compare yourself with similar people on here and see how that makes you feel.
don't panic--no pressure--this is your decision and you have all the time in the world to make it!
December 14, 2014
*wear some bombshell bras, seriously...my fast typing makes me crazy with all the mistakes!
December 14, 2014
When I tried the sizers on at the PS office I went to I felt so giddy and excited lol. I already wear a bombshell bra on a regular basis lol but I'm spaced so far apart that it doesn't really give me cleavage just gives me the padding and close to the look id like. I'll have to post some pics of me in it later lol and better pics so you girls can see my hips and booty proportions to my top. :-)
Thanks girls! Love you all!
December 14, 2014
yeah--they really aren't like the real thing...but it lets you know if you're happier with the bigger concept!
make sure you talk to your ps specifically about cleavage if that is one of your goals
anatomy determines how much of that way can get--and you'll make different choices if that's your goal
i wanted only 200cc--but with my bwd my ps said they'd be barely noticable and like two round separate balls on my chest--going bigger gave me a better chance at getting these babies together someday!
December 14, 2014
I was so nervous I forgot to mention my cleavage desires lol. Thanks so much ;-)
December 14, 2014
I pretty much have the same stats as you and I was told at 339 ccs is a big as I can go.. Anyway it also depends on your breast with diameter so I guess you have to figure that one out first and then go from there
December 14, 2014
SO glad to hear your Mom is supporting you, that will be very helpful through the entire process!!!
