WORTH IT$9,400

I'm 5'3 (actually 5'2.5, but I round up), and weigh 120 lbs. I haven't had my surgery yet, but have been obsessed with looking at photos on this site and others. It's alot of fun reading everyone's reviews, experiences, and tips. Most likely I will get between 350 and 400 cc high profile. My goal is to be a small to full D! Hoping that will take me there.

I was immediately impressed by Dr. Kearney. He spent an hour with me at my consultation and is very experienced, especially in making sure that the implants don't make women look heavy. I've seen slim women appear to be heavy because of wide implants.

As you can see from my pictures one side is incredibly droopy. It was caused by a chest tube drain that I had as a premature baby. The dr. is going to release the scar, which along with the lift and implants, should correct that. It has always made me EXTREMELY self consious. I have never been so excited, yet anxious about something! Anybody else have surgery on in June? I'd love to stay in contact and be boobie buddies!

Have my surgery with Dr. Kearney on Dec 11. Doing a lift and implants. I see you put you also got Lipo. Where was it at? I am thinking of doing my bra bulge area on the sides of my breast which he thought could be fat. Been working out like crazy to see if I can get it to go down.

Is there anyone out there with similar deflated boobs that got BA and lift?

I'm hoping 400 HP will take me to a D Cup.

Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! It's amazing to think that a chest tube drain from your infancy can have an effect on you as an adult. I am happy you can get this repaired and feel great about yourself. Are you thinking of saline or silicone? Keep us posted!

Your welcome. I'm going with silicone as it feels way more natural than saline.

I'm super excited and nervous! I had my pre-op and my doctor and I settled on 350 and 400cc HP(due to some asymmetry) I'm wondering if anyone can recommend good post surgical bras that close in front?

Hi, I did 425 hp silicone 5 weeks ago. No lift so can't help you there but you will do great. I always wore a 36 B, but I was wearing the wrong band size for many years (I just found out). Turns out I am a 32. Not sure what my pre surgery cup size would be with a 32, probably still a B as I never fit into the 36B well. But now I'm a 32 DDD (F) which the number scared me at first but it looks so natural. So I'm sure if you are a 34 you will get to a D. I wasn't supposed to wear any bras post surgery till now but I got a few front closure bras from walmart (danskin). They aren't surgical bras tho. Best of luck. Congrats!

I will be getting HP 350's (maybe 400's) this week too! I did a lot of hunting for front close bras. Walmart has some good ones. I have also been searching the clearance racks at department stores and found a few! I bought several since I had no idea what size to get.

If they are by band size- get the band size you wear now. The cup will be the only thing that changes. I use under armor- is more expensive but I use them every day for work out and sleeping after I got past my post op stage. I love them. Firm support and you can buy band/cup size so the fit is great. I tried some that were S/M/L and never found that happy place in fitting. So I really liked being able to get the fit for me sports bra. Per-op I was 34A post-op my sports bra is 34DD ( they don't make a DDD) but it fits ok enough. Just some thoughts.
