I had my first consultation with Dr. Schlesinger 4 days ago. I am so excited and driving myself crazy trying to make up my mind about sizes. My idea of the ideal boobs for me has changed over the last couple weeks to embrace a fuller size. I am so used to having a flat chest that trying on 300 and 400 ccs in the office scared me at first! Now, days later... I am seeing a trend that I am getting used to the idea of being bigger and bigger sizes. I can see how I could be a candidate for boob greed post op. Haha.
I want a size that will compliment my figure and balance me out rather than steal the show or overwhelm. I am a yoga teacher, dancer, model, and NPC competitive athlete. So its very important to me to both get the look right, and be able to continue being highly active every day. I don't want to feel heavy or weighed down in the gym or on my yoga mat or dancing. But I am ready to have boobs for the first time in my life. The doctor says I have a mild case of Tuberous breasts. Sounds scary. But I feel confident in Dr. Schlesinger. I am so blessed to have found such an outstanding doctor who I have a really good feeling about right in my area on my first try. Thank you to RealSelf for that!
If any of you have an opinion about sizing, I am poling the audience. Please comment!
I am uploading some pictures. Some are before pictures of me at the office and wearing sizers 300 and 350. Another picture I "photo-shopped" my ideal boob size on top of a picture of my in a bra that is a size that I like. When I was in the office, the first size I tried on was 400ccs and It scared me it was so heavy! The thought of two pounds (one each boob) strapped to my chest while being such an active person as I am brought on fears of boob regret and feeling trapped and weighed down. But the doctor said that they wont feel nearly so awkward once theyre under the muscle and closer to my center of gravity and that they will lose about 15% perceived volume once theyre in as compared to out. I felt a little better with the 350. Still it hung like an awkward boulder in the try-on bra and had a very aesthetically displeasing saggy shape so it was really hard for me to tell if id like it or not. He only had moderate profile implants for sizing (I am going with Inspira high profile) so the 350 I tried on was actually 370 to try to mimic the amount of projection a HP 350 would have. I think I need to make the hour and a half drive to Kona to try on sizers again in the next couple weeks while I sort out the finances for the surgery. I'm even considering making an art project out of this and sculpting myself some boobs out of clay on a paper mache bust of me just to ease my mind! Im laughing at myself imagining bringing the clay boobs with me on the plane when I fly to his clinic in Honolulu to show him what size I want.

Hey :) my advice on sizing is if you are tossing up between sizes go for the bigger! I was so worried I went too big (similar size rangr to you) when I chose mine but am so glad. I had similar worries to you about them feeling bulky and not sitting great in the try on bra but once they are in you and they start healing it is completely different.
All the best! :)

Hi thanks so much for the reply and the encouragement. :) I really appreciate this community and your well wishes. I am feeling more and more at ease with my size choice. Although I still have my days that I obsess and worry. I'm thinking 385 full profile inspira or 400 extra full profile inspira.
Lately I've identified the reason I don't like the look of some larger boobs. It's because they are lower down on The chest and I prefer the look of high perky boobs. I am not concerned with not looking fake and looking natural. I just want to like the way they look. Some obviously fake ones I like the look of and some very natural ones I like the look of. And some natural ones that I know other ladies think are attractive, I wouldn't like on myself. I am now considering having my doctor put SERI in for added support to slow down the inevitable boob sag that will be more of a thing for me with the added weight of two pounds worth of boob weighing on my skin and to reduce the risk of complications where the implant migrates in any direction. I think it's as much for my peace of mind as it is for the physical support. I would love to hear about what other ladies know about SERI that could help me make my decision. Pros cons or experiences..

Hi! I wrote you a reply above. I think I didn't post it in the right box. Just look at the other comment on this post that is addressed to you.

Hi FallenAngel
I used the "laso" tool to isolate the boobs on a picture that I liked an then cut and paste them (use the "move" tool "control v") to drag them over on top of my before picture of me. Then use the free transform tool edit>free transform or control T to resize them. Hold down shift to keep proportions. Sometimes I needed to use the skew tool or distort tool to change the shape to fit the angles of my body and adjust for foreshortening. Then I made a layer mask on the new boobs and used a tablet pen to draw with the brush tool to hide what I want to hide and show what I want to show. I lowered the opacity on the pen to blend one picture into the other. Then I would make a new layer on top of those to use the pen stylus and brush tool to manually edit and draw in details and subtle lighting or color adjustments. For example I drew with a light peachy white color on top of the boobs in one picture to make them more rounded and full and catch the light the same way it catches on my chest from the light source in my original photo. In some case I cut and pasted and sized my nipple to fit over top of the boobs so it would look more like mine. It's a pretty detailed process. Took me hours.

Photoshop is a great idea to figure out the ideal outcome to show your ps what you're after. Don't think many people have thought of photoshop, only just rely on the vectra scan. Anyway so excited for you :)
