Hello all!!! I'm so excited to finally begin my journey. My procedure is scheduled for May 1st with Dr.Richards. Just a little about me, I'm 5'11, about 160lbs. I have a 4yo son who I breastfed for a very short amount of time.
Right now I'm a 36AA, very flat chested, especially for someone my size. Ever since I was in elementary school I just wanted boobs and when I realized they weren't gonna get any bigger, I knew one day I'd get breast augmentation surgery and I'm so excited it's finally happening!!
I'm extremely flat chested, absolutely no cleavage, no side boob, pretty much nothing. Right now I'm set for 525ccs, but I think I'm gonna go bigger, maybe 550ccs or even 600ccs. My pre-op appointment is April 16th so I'll talk to my PS then about going bigger.
I'm trying to compile a list of things to have post surgery to make recovery a little easier, and my biggest fear is the nausea after surgery. I hate being nauseous and throwing up (not that anyone really likes it lol) but I'm most nervous about that right now. I'd like to think I have a pretty high pain tolerance, so the pressure and the tightness I'm not too worried about. I try and work out a couple times a week, so I think I'm in pretty decent shape.
Any tips or advice from ladies who have had the procedure is greatly appreciated!!!

Yay!! Congrats! I know, it's tough to be on this site and gage sizes when most of the ladies are much smaller lol thanks for the comment!!

I am very similar in size to you; 5'10, 160 lbs, 36 A. I understand your frustration, and have always felt I am not proportionate. I have scheduled my surgery for may 9th, and I'm excited. So confused about what size though. I'm thinking 500 cc.

It's getting so close! But I understand about making sure you pick the right size. My PS and I agreed on 520 ccs, and I wanna go for a natural look so, but he told me that I might wanna go bigger because people usually wish they had gone bigger. So when I go for my 2nd consultation on the 16th I'm gonna talk about going bigger. Maybe 550.

I'm also confused about the profile. I don't want them huge and In everyone's face, but I want them to be nice and perky!! So choosing a profile is stressing me out lol

I just had my preop and chose 520 high profile. I am thinking I should go with moderate profile though, because I dont want them to stick out too far. I would have to go down in ccs though if I go with moderate.

how far out did you have to book your surgery date from your initial consultation? my consultation with him is May 24 and I’m hoping to have surgery at the end of June!!

I had my consultation on February 26th and the earliest he had available at that time was the last week of April, but I scheduled mine for May 1st. Misty, the patient coordinator told me that he's usually booked up in the months leading up to summer, so maybe he'll have more open spots in the summer since everyone wants their BA done before summer lol

So hard to find someone the same height!! I’m 6’0 and my ps is recommending 750 cc’s...completely freaked out when he said that because I want a more natural look too!!

Hi!! I’m in your situation! My operation is the first week of June! I’m still a little undecided on my size! I’m 37, 3 kids, 5’9.5 -150 lbs. my doctor suggest 560in my left and 520 in my right. I feel like this is a little too big for me as I don’t want to stick out so to say. I have read many post about girls wishing they had gone bigger and I definitely don’t want to go small. What size are you looking to achieve ?

Shelbyluv25

Well I've already had my operation, I'm 3 weeks post op, and I went with 560ccs and I think its perfect for my size. I could have gone bigger for sure, but don't let the CCs scare you. Talk to your surgeon about profile. I went with a full profile, but you can do moderate profile, moderate plus or high profile. The higher in profile you go the more they stick out or sit higher on your chest. I wish I went bigger, but I'm happy either way. If you want to look at my story you can see what 560ccs looks like on my frame.

The time is coming!!!

My pre-op appointment is on April 16th and I'm so excited!! I can't wait to go over all the details, then it'll feel more real!
I feel like I scheduled my appointment really far out, which is good because now I have all the money and it's gonna be paid for, but it also gives me more time to be anxious. I scheduled it for May 1st back at the end of February, and it's been such a long time! Haha but I can't wait.
I've been on Realself almost every day reading everyone's stories and it has been beyond helpful to hear all the tips and what the best things to do after surgery are and really just what to expect. I'm definitely going into this experience with as much knowledge as possible.
I've wanted this for so long and I can't believe it's actually gonna happen. It's surreal!

Very exciting! My surgery is on Tuesday and I don’t think it’s really hit me yet! LOL I think I’ve just been getting ready for it for so long that I can’t believe it’s here? Plus with Easter Festivities this weekend, What has helped me keep my mind off the surgery! LOL I too am tall like you and slender, it’s nice to find other women on here who have a similar body type and size. I’m 5’9” 150 pounds. I’m going with 415 smooth full profile silicone Natrelle Inspira implants! I’m SO excited for Summer time! Probably one of the first times in my life that I’m actually looking forward to the summer months! LOL I update my review as often as I can you can follow me!

Pre-op appointment in 2 days!!!

Shelbyluv25April 14, 2018

I'm so excited, my pre-op appointment is in 2 days! My surgery is just about 2 weeks away and I'm starting to get nervous lol I am looking forward to trying on more sizers and figuring out exactly what size I wanna go with at my appointment on Monday. Originally we discussed 520ccs (I'm not sure the profile but I'm pretty sure we said moderate) but I think I wanna go bigger and a higher profile.
If anyone close to my height and weight has any input or advice on size please comment and let me know!! I'm 5'11 and about 160lbs.
I did the 3D imaging with Dr.Richards and I was super excited, but now I think the moderate profile isn't enough. I want them to be a little higher up, ya know? Anyway, I'm gonna ask the Doc on Monday what he thinks!
I've also finally finished buying most of my post-op necessitates and I'm stoked!! I'll post a pic of everything I have so far!
