I have never done this before! Ahh, but I am so excited for my upcoming transformation! I am currently a 34 A or AA with some brands and am going for a large C. I have 2 boys aged 1.5 and 3.5 years old. I breast fed both up to a year in age and since then, my breasts have deflated immensely! I have had a consult with one PS and am going for another consult with a different PS on the 20th of March. I have read many reviews with the first PS and most were good a few iffy ones, but all said he has no personality.... Which I discovered with my first consultation. Which is fine, but I feel it's important to have a good connection with your PS. Which my husband and I didn't get from the first. So.... we are going to be meeting up with a new PS. I kind of already have in mind what I would like to get. I'm pretty small, 5'1 and 109 lbs. My upper half is quite petite so I'm worried of looking "done" I tried on sizers at my first consultation and really liked the way 275cc's moderate plus mentor silicone gel looked. However,.... I'm already thinking I want to go a bit larger and HP implants... I'll be trying some more on at my next consult and asking my PS which he thinks will suit my frame the best. I'm not sharing this surgery with anyone but my close family as they will be assisting me in helping with the boys while I'm recovering, but no co-workers know about it. I drastically want to increase my size but don't want it to be too noticeable... I do wear padded bras to begin with so hopefully they just think I'm wearing a new bra!! Any girls out there with similar stats as me who have had a BA?? any input will help!!

Word of advice.... Go to Victoria Secret and get the bombshell bra if you can. It'll make you look two sizes bigger. Start wearing it ASAP and when someone asks tell them it's "the bra" lol. And it's tru. I got that advice from my drs scheduler. I've been wearing mine ever since a week ago, and I go for surgery on April 19th. Good luck!

I love the surgeon I chose in Kelowna and I've talked to a few other girls and saw his work on them prior to my first consult. They all looked great! My sister had a reduction by another surgeon at the clinic and liked him also. Whatever surgeon you choose will be the right one for you. I found all the staff so kind there! Can't wait to hear about your journey!!

Oh and I have been wearing the la senza and Victoria's Secret add two sizes push up bras for years and the only people that notice I had augment are the ones I've told. And I have 375 cc HP's! I totally agree with the advice to pick up a bombshell bra! Hope you've had a chance to pick one up :)

Second Consult

User Avatar
RenRen123
So, I went for my second consult on Friday and came out of there feeling so much relief! I went to see Dr. Valnicek, he spent so much time with me going through the different sizes on the vectra, giving me loads of advice and guidance to get me to my final decision. So in the end after what I thought was way too big is just right for my frame. I've decided on the 350cc HP Mentor Silicone Gel. The ones I was trying on before were Mod+ and looked huge! Which they were too big, as the base circumference was too large, but switch it over into the HP it fits perfectly. I'm super excited for my surgery date of April 29th. The nurse and his MOA were fantastic and stayed late answering all of our questions and then some. I'm feeling much more confident in my decision to go ahead with this body change. I also wound up having my pre-op at the same time. So the nurse went through everything from pre-op to do's along with post-op instructions. I got my prescriptions filled and a couple bras. Things all coming in place for my big day! I'll try to post some photos, have to try and figure out how to get them off my cell phone to the comp! I'll keep you all posted! :D

Our stats are almost exactly the same. I have been torn between mod plus and high profile and I think I'm decided on the mod plus after a few consults and posting a question here. I've come to understand and see in most reviews that the HP can give more of the stuck on look and upper fullness which im trying to avoid. But I'm still unsure of my decision. My BA is in two days!!! Good luck to you!

I do not want that look either. But my PS assured me that going under the muscle and not bigger than 375cc I wouldn't get that stuck on look. I've learned it also depends on how much existing breast tissue you currently have. Ask your PS. In the end you'll make the right decision for you! :) good luck with your surgery! Look forward to hearing how it goes!
March 23, 2015
Totally tork over the decision, he's going to have both profiles there and decide that day! Good luck to you!
March 26, 2015
He went with 275 mod plus. I can barely tell a difference im very upset. Go bigger otherwise it doesn't even feel worth it. Good luck!

Awe sorry you're not happy with your surgery. What sizers were you looking at?
March 27, 2015
I didn't really even do sizers my PS is against them he feels there's a max size your body will take before it looks distorted. I had to push even 275 he was set on 250!
March 24, 2015
I'm getting my ba done on April 15 by Dr.Valnicek too and I agree he and his staff are awesome. I went in two years ago for a consult and another one recently and they all remembered me! They made me feel totally comfortable and excited. I'm excited for you!! Good luck and definitely post pictures! Let us know how the recovery goes!

They are all so awesome at the clinic! That's great that your feeling comfortable with your decision! I was so nervous about HP's because of my fear if the 'stuck on' look. I changed my mind from mod plus to HP the day before surgery and I'm so happy I did! Dr. Valnicek thought I should go with HP's from the start. He really does have a great eye for what will look natural and proportionate to individual frames. Can't wait to see your progress!

Same to you! I'll try to keep my profile updated as much as possible thru the process. Won't be much from now until when I go in for surgery tho... All I can say about my PS is they are amazing! His staff are so incredible as he is too!! Good luck to you! :D
March 25, 2015
If he can push more, get more. I was oscilating between 350cc and 375 moderate plus mentor smooth, chose 350 the last second and i do know there wouldnt have been much of a difference but i regret it every single day! If your surgeon is giving you an option to go for 400cc, you will not regret it! I was an A, now barely reaching C. Rather a full B cup now.
March 25, 2015
Oh, and the sizers they gave me for 350 definitely looked bigger!
User Avatar
March 25, 2015
These sizers are HP. I did try on the Mod+ with notable difference! Base circumference is a lot wider on the Mod+ vs. HP. So yes, the 350cc Mod+ look a lot bigger on me as well!
