Well I'm finally less than 2 months away from my surgery and wanted to start a review to help others on their journey since reading RS ladies' journeys have been SO helpful and comforting for me.

Unlike many women, I haven't been set on having a BA my entire adult life...I have always had pretty small breasts but always said that I would "maybe someday get a BA". For 1, I knew that if I ever did, I wanted to wait until I was done having babies and breastfeeding. And 2, while I always thought it would be nice to have bigger boobs than what I was given, it also didn't really bother me that I didn't...I loved my body regardless and can't say I was necessarily 'insecure' about it. But now, at 32 years old, I've finally decided to take the plunge. I finished breastfeeding my 2nd (and final) child about a year ago and, while my breasts really hadn't changed after breastfeeding our first (for just 3 months due to low milk supply) they definitely never bounced back from breastfeeding our 2nd for a year...not only did they shrink in size, the skin around my nipples is also sad and empty now :( lol. What's funny is that I naively didn't really think my breasts would be affected negatively from pregnancy or breastfeeding - but the "maybe someday I would get a BA" was there just in case :)

Anyway, here I am, going through with it in less than 2 months and am both super excited and also super nervous (what if I hate them, what if they're completely uneven as I have a bit of asymmetry pre-op, what if I end up too small or worse, for me, too big)...while I was never insecure about my breasts prior to babies, what if I go through this all only to be disappointed and end up being insecure about my breasts post-BA? That's what scares me the most but I guess all can do is be as thorough as possible throughout this process and then pray for the best outcome...so we'll see!

Here are my stats again:
5'7"
124 pounds
12.6 bwd
32A..? I use to be a small or med B before babies and always wore a 34 band but I was never professionally measured...my surgeon measured me and said I'm technically a 30C now which is hilarious to me because i guarantee that NO woman dreaming of having a c cup is picturing my size..lol.

Oh, and I almost forgot! I'm hoping for a med to full c, not bigger, and thinking of going with 350cc silicone under the muscle. I'm worried that 350 might even be too big for what I'm going for but the 350 mod plus measure 12.5 diameter and I really want to fit the width of my natural breasts as closely as possible and the next option down that would fit is 300cc, moderate profile at 12.8 diameter but I think 300 might be too small (and l'm not sure how mod would look as it seems difficult to find women with mods)! Needless to say, the size decision is killing me...

That's all for tonight, I'll post pre-op and wish pics soon!

HI! We have very similar stats- I'm 5'6" 125 very straight up and down(narrow hips). My bed is a little smaller at 12.2 but take a look at my review/profile. I'm only a week out but sizing in a 34D currently with 295cc anatomicals. Who is your doctor? I'm also in Colorado.

Bed = BWD... Stupid autocorrect ;)

Lol, it kept trying to do that to me too :) you look great, especially for a just a week! I will be watching to see how they progress, I'm sure they will be perfect for you! the size decision is soooo hard...I just want someone to tell me exactly what size will be perfect for MY body because cc's can look so different even with similar stats. I've seen a couple ladies with similar stats at only 240 cc's that ended up exactly what I want in size but some at 325 that look perfect for me (and everywhere in between) I'm worried that 350 will be a bit too big but they fit perfect for my bwd and I don't think I'd get enough projection (to help out my deflated nipples lol) with a moderate/low profile...I could probably go down to 325 mod+ which has a diameter of 12.4 but I don't want to regret that it's too small. And I actually almost went with 400cc because I was reading alot on justbreastimplants.com and so many say go bigger, they look smaller than natural breasts etc etc but after following ladies on this site for weeks I've come to realize that it would have been too big for me (many women with larger implants have BEAUTIFUL results of course, and I'm sure I could pull it off with my height, it's just not the look and feeling that I really want long term) ahhh, it's driving me crazy! Anyway, my doctor is Dr Herrmann at coal creek plastic surgery. I actually went to consultations with the other 2 doctors at Dr Vath's office and really liked one of them but ultimately decided to go with dr herrmann because of my asymmetry...he works alot with adjusting the breast fold because he does alot of reconstructive surgery and said it would be no problem to lower my left fold for better symmetry post-op...so we'll see!

I think that anything from 300-350 would give you a nice full C/D. I don't think you would regret any of them. If you really really do not want to be a D I would err on the 300ish size. I was ok with being a D if that's how it turned out, and I may be one. I always think mod and mod+ are for a more natural look and high profile is if you want a more fake look OR if you have a very small BWD (like 10-11). Most research I've done says if you have little tissue and or thin tissue to begin with you should choose an implant about 1 cm narrower than your bwd, this allows for enough tissue to cover the implant so the sides of the implant aren't palpable. I went strictly by sizers and kept BWD in mind. 300 mods felt too wide.. They were a 12. I don't like he feel of a lot of side boob. So I went to mod+ and did 295 with an 11.5 width. They are definitely not too narrow I will say that. I think anything around 12 width would work. I personally would not go over 12.5 bc of your thin tissue. Just my opinion. It can be hard to choose I know. I'm pretty decisive and I really relied on how sizers felt bc that's what my surgeon advised. I think they will be right what I wanted. Good luck! Keep updating! Happy new year!

Thank you for your input and advice, it's very helpful! I had one doc tell me I could go up to 13 diameter in mod+ with the 400cc and again I'm glad I didn't (I almost had my surgery last August and that's what I was going to go with) I just don't think it would have been right for me. At least I still have 6 weeks to figure it out...or 6 weeks for it drive me crazy ;) happy new year to you!

Hey!! We also have similar stats. I am 5'6 1/2 130lbs. little curvy in the hip area. I'm scheduled for a consultation the 19th of this month and hoping to have the surgery mid Feb. I'm currently an A or small B not really sure lol. just know i'm smaller now than before I had kids. I'm hoping to become a DD after surgery. Always wanted big boobs lol. Good luck to you and keep us posted.

Thank you, good luck to you too! I hope your upcoming consult goes well...the best advice I can give is to ask questions and be a tiny bit critical of the doc...not in a bad way, just in the way that you know what you want in a surgeon and don't settle if your not 100 percent certain that it's the doc for you...if for nothing else, at least to put your own mind at ease :) I'll be following your progress so keep updating!

Yeah my surgeon said 1 cm either way. He really left it up to me to try sizers then he "approved" my choice based on my measurements and charts. We were right on the same page as far as natural and full, but not fake looking. I also was very very afraid of the the fake "ridge" on the top and that's why I went with the anatomicals. I wear a lot of form fitting clothes and I just am not comfortable with cleavage hanging out all day long while I'm playing with my kids at the park. I see the fold difference you are speaking of. My cousin had a BA and they had to do a fold adjustment with her. She went with with a very small implant but they still had to do some extra stitching in the fold and I believe she had more lifting restrictions bc of it but otherwise no issues. I think you were smart to not go with the 400. You are in the right range of 300-350 and I think you will be happy with any of those. You are not a very big person so it's not like you are going to end up with these tiny boobs compared to your frame... It just can't happen! Happy new year!

I'm being brave and adding my before pics...I didn't REALLY know how unattractive my breasts are post babies until I started taking selfies of them..lol (ok,I knew, but a photo shoot really does make it worse!) What's funny is I never even noticed my asymmetry before I started going to consults and neither did my husband...my left fold is higher than my right..my surgeon will lower the fold so hopefully they'll be as symmetrical as possible post-op!

Thank you for being brave and posting your befores! I have very similar breasts due to weight loss (no kids yet).
February 7, 2016
Well of course! Lol. I'm not even one to do Something like this at all (forums, social media, post about myself...just don't have the time or energy with 2 little ones!) But, I figured I should because I spent sooooo much time researching other people's results and journeys and especially looking for ladies with similar stats...So I'm glad to help in some small way :)
