I had my consultation last week and can honestly say I loved it. I had a great experience, doctor was great she took the time to explain everything to me. All my questions were answered before I even asked them. She did measurements and said I was over the recommended length for a breast lift. I do not want a breast life, she explained that's fine I would have to go bigger (400cc-550cc) in order to fill up the skin. I have one child, breastfed so my girls are pretty droopy.

Being that I don't want a breast lift can I get some opinions on what size you girls recommend? 450cc or 550cc??

I am wishing for a DD. being that I'm not getting a lift I don't want to go too small because I don't want them to be saggy. I am 5'6 and 116 lbs.

Hi Jrock12 I'd say try on the sizes and see what looks best on you. I have moderate plus silicone, 400 cc's in my left and 425 cc's in my right. One was smaller than the other. I can honestly tell you this. Depending in how much the skin is stretched I think the more discomfort you may experience. I too wanted to go bigger but was happy/is with what I have because their turning out great. I'm only 6 days post-op and in spite of going bigger I'm glad I didn't because these boobs are heavy right now because I'm healing and my back is SO SORE! All are normal I'm sure, but man ol man I'm glad I didn't go bigger (Cheezzzzziiinnnn). So whatever you decide know that you don't want to regret not going big enough but make sure your mentally able to deal with discomfort due to size (weight). I'm loving my hopefully FULL D's like I wanted. Time will tell.

I will be going with High profile, Saline and I have ALOT of extra, stretchy skin to fill. That's why I don't want to go too small! Thank you!

i just got my 550cc unders, June 12, 2013. and I'm already in love.. I'm 5'6" 117-120lbs.. was 32 small b before but had extra skin. breast fed my two babies and my boobs used to be bigger. I haven't gone in for fitting yet but I'm sure I'm at least a d-dd.. I'd highly recommend the 550s. remember at first they'll most likely be swollen and will go down a bit. mine are finally starting to feel like part of me!!

Wow out stats are almost identical!! Thank you! I think I will. I feel like I have enough skin to fill them out, plus I heard you lose 50ccs when you go under the muscle. Do you have a review with pics?

Omg I'm so excited! I can't wait to get mine. It's mainly a confidence thing with me, I'll feel so much better once I get them done. I'm sure the pain will be worth it. I use my phone and upload pictures directly from there. But I believe you have to do a review to upload them. I'll keep a look out!

Okay great. Yes I felt the same way, I only breastfed for 4 months but you can see the impact it had on my girls! Did you need a breast lift? I hope I can still achieve the look I'm after without it.

Glad to hear you found a doctor you like. That's great you can get away without a lift. Did she mention how long after your implants she thought you might need a lift? Tough decision on the size...it depends upon the look you are seeking. You seem rather tiny so I might be inclined to go with the 450 cc's but then everyone always says to go larger. Keep us posted!

Thank you! I am very excited and anticipating my surgery. She did say "sometime down the road" I might need a lift, she didn't give an exact time. Thats a great question to ask. She insisted that she will Make sure I have a very supportive bra on at all times! I want them to be as perky as possible. I'm hoping you will be able to see the "roundness" of the implant at the top.

Like you said, you can always get a lift later if you really need it.  ;)  I think the high profile will give you the roundness you are seeking...along with the saline.

Thank you for your advice. I am strongly leaning toward 500-550 because I would hate for them to still be too small. It would be High Profile Saline.

Hello ladies,
I had my pre op July 1, everything went well and we decided on 525cc high profile, saline implants with a dual plane internal lift.
Tomorrow is supposed to be the big day but I am having second thoughts and will most likely be rescheduling. I have a two year old and I am nervous about how much pain I will be in and how active I will be. I won't have much help, but I will have people here with me. My cousin had her BA done and was with her two year old alone the next day. But as we all know everyone is different.
Although I do handle pain well I'm skeptical because I don't know exactly how much pain I will be in.
Decisions.. Decisions.. =/

Will you lose your money if you reschedule since your surgery is tomorrow? Are you getting cold feet because its tomorrow?

No I will not lose the money I just have to notify them by tomorrow. I actually feel fine about the surgery so I'm not getting cold feet. I'm just worried about my two year old. I don't know how much pain to expect and I don't know how active I will be.

You will not be able to pick her up at all!!! It would be best if you had someone who could take care of her while you rest. For the few days you need to be in bed resting. I had my surgery 12 days ago. Wish you the best.
