WORTH IT$7,900
I called the office today and my surgery date is set for June 4th. I have to pay in full by May 24th. I am nervous now! All of the "what if" questions racing through my head. I wonder what it will be like to not have to wear a bra and look like a woman?! I put up some photos of the 375cc sizer I had on. I will try to find one of me before as well.

            you have a few more weeks until your surgery: it will be here before you know it; are you going with saline; silicone; or the gummybear implants?

Hi violet1234! I am going with gummy bear implants. I have been trying to guess how the finished product will look using this site, seems like a full c with 375 cc on my frame. Nervous about the anesthetic though. Yours look amazing!

I am 5'3 and 120lb and I was a 34 A and I got 450 cc and they don't look huge, in fact if you didn't know me you would never know. They def take some getting used to, they kind of feel heavy at first but it's been 3 weeks for me and I feel great now and love them. I was really worried about the pain and I never even took a pain pill through out the whole recovery. I thought the pain to be minimal but I understand everyone is different. Good luck to you!!

Here is a link that may be helpful to you: What to set up and buy before your breast aug surgery. Will you have someone to help you with your 3 young children during your recovery?

May 13th Doctor Consult

I had a consultation today and it went very well. Dr. Hasell made me feel very comfortable with going ahead with this and answered all my questions and didn't make me feel rushed to get out of his office.

I am 33, 5'3", 117lbs and an A cup. I tried on a 36C with 375cc smooth round Mentor gummy bears and they looked huge lol. They also felt heavy at first. Dr. Hasell said they won't feel heavy when implanted because they're supported by the muscle and not a bra strap on the outside of the body. I have to call tomorrow to see about potential dates. I will post some before photos, and also some with the sizers on. It was a fun experience, as my bf was there with me and said "i'm hooked!" lol.


I'm worried about the level of pain though, and recovery. I've got 3 children, aged 3, 7, 9. Dr said it will be a 4cm incision in the crease so it should heal well. And I worry about going under, I always have issues with it.


Regardless, I'm excited and feel more confident already :) Thanks for everyone before for posting their photos/experiences as this site was a huge source of information and encouragement for me!

Holy cow time flies, I only have to wait 11 more days until I have my surgery! I am wearing 325 cc rice sizers right now Lol. I can't decide between 375 and 350 and because you lose 25cc when implanted I want to be sure I have the right size. I night a cheap $8 36c bra to put them in. I will make a set of 350 sizers as well, maybe wear them this afternoon Lol. I am active with kids, outdoors, caving, camping, hiking etc so don't want them too big and in the way or heavy. Again I am 5'3, 115 lbs, size a right now.
I guess the next update will be closer to my June 4 date! Or after Lol.

The rice test is a great way to figure out what you are comfortable with. I actually think 375s would look great on you, but be sure to go with what YOU like. I got 350s and simply love them. I will say that initially breast implants appear big when you first get them but I assure you that you get use to them very quickly. Go for what you really want but there really isnt a whole lot of differene between 350s and 375s so choose the one YOU truly want;) Good Luck, keep us posted!
