ORIGINAL POST
This isn't so much of a review yet. Just beginning...
WORTH IT$8,600
This isn't so much of a review yet. Just beginning my story so I'm sure there will be more to come. I'm 32, 5'7", 127 pounds.
I just booked my consult with Dr. Hasell for August 17th!!!!! Can hardly contain myself. this has been a long awaited journey! I've wanted to do this since I was 17. I have been for 2 consults in the past but my finances always fall through. But I'm sure the "real" reason is that it just wasn't the right time. Now I am a mother of 2, and happily married to a wonderful man who is whole heartedly supportive of this decision and is excited that I'm excited. :)
Previously i was going to go to Dr. Hein in lethbridge but sadly a year after my consult he retired.
Then I found Dr.Hasell, I have read every review and comment I can find. I've followed every story, and looked at every photo that people have posted on RealSelf. Thank you to those who have done that, it really does make a difference in the decision making process. I am confident I've made the right decision, and OH MY GOODNESS I can't wait!!
I've always been VERY small chested, almost too small to fit in a bra... Specialty stores call it a double A. (What the heck is that?) so i wear the bras with the most possible padding I can find. I CANT wait to wear a nice lace bra without feeling like a 10 year old that got into her moms closet! My goal is to be somewhere around a C. I think I've decided on silicone, (based on other people's stories somewhere around 350-375CC's I would guess) but I'm not sure on the profile yet. I'll wait until my consult and see what Dr. Hasell suggests based on my goals.
I will post before pictures soon, I haven't taken any yet. But in the mean time. If there's anyone out there with a similar build to mine, with similar results, please feel free to share!

I think 375 would be a great size for you, especially if you are going under the muscle you will lose about 25cc, good luck on your journey!
May 21, 2015
Thank you!!! Good luck with yours too! It's coming up really soon!!! You must be so excited. I look forward to seeing your progress. Hopefully you are able to keep updating. :)
I'm still a ways away from my surgery. Possibly another year :( trying to see if I can swing it for this December. But I don't know if it will happen.
I'm leaning towards 375 CC. I think 400 would be too big for my body structure. I went for a consult a few years ago and we were looking at 350, but I think I want a bit bigger then that. Especially since learning on this site that you lose some of it. Although Ive looked at quite a few that have 400 with a "similar" body structure to me, and they look GREAT!!! They don't look that big at all so I'm torn. But I am definitely leaning towards 375 :D
UPDATED FROM MyTurnCT
1 year pre
Oh the never ending turmoil!!
Ok so having too much time on your hands is not a good thing. Although prep and research are necessary. When you have possibly another year to wait, finding this web site is bad news. Lol!!!
I am pretty sure I've read every review from every person with "similar" stats to me, and now I'm stuck in a tornado of size confusion!!! Although a few CC's doesn't make a difference, I'm still REALLY torn.
Originally I thought 350cc, moderate profile. Well holy smokes was I wrong! (I think)
First off, I always thought high profile meant "up to your collar bone"... But i now know otherwise, and I think I want HP, for the narrower implant because although I like some side boob, I don't want lots, and from what I understand I'll need the HP to accomplish decent cleavage, seeing as I definitely can't make cleavage right now even if I use my hands... (Lol there's an image for you)
anyway.... I also never thought someone built like me could pull off 400(ish) CC's... But now that I've looked at a zillion reviews and photos, I realize that (and durrrr for not thinking about it before) but 400cc when you don't really have any existing breast tissue to start with, really isn't that big.... Sooooo now I'm thinking closer to 400cc for me. I know in the end I will leave it up to my PS... But I still want to have an "idea" ahead of time.
Also, thanks to all of you who have done such awesome reviews with tons of updates and photos! Anna1989 you made a really good point that I hadn't considered!!!! I decided to stop paying attention to bra size.... For one because no 2 stores are ever the same (VS seems to be completely out to lunch) but also depending on your rib cage changes the size of a C, or D or what ever cup. (Which I knew but never put it into context here) chances are when I think "I'd really like a nice full C cup"... The image in my head is probably more like a 34C, which is no where near the size of a 32C, it would likely translate to a 32D or even DD..... That was a really great "ah ha" moment... Thanks for that Anna!!!!
I ended up spending a considerable amount of time explaining this to my husband. Lol. When I first started the conversation he went "umm. I don't think the cup sizes changes depending on the rib cage measurement".... (Seriously, this is not my first bra experience in my life lol.)
So to anyone else explaining this seemingly baffling topic. It clicked for him when I said " if you have more inches around, chances are the space from right to left is wider...(uh huh) Typically the breast tissue takes up most of the space from right to left... So if you have more space, you have more breast width, thusly you'd need a bigger cup ". Hahaha. :) anyway. Sorry for rambling but I wanted to share that..
And some exciting news! I haven't come across many smokers on here. None that have said anything about it anyway (I suppose normally there would be no point) but for me there is!! I WAS a smoker for far too long, but have always vowed that I will quit smoking before I get my BA... Well it's official!!! I decided that I could save money a heck of a lot faster if I quit now. So even though it will Likely be a year before surgery time for me, (much to my dismay, but I also swore I wouldn't go into debt for boobs, although now that I'm all excited I could totally justify it lol) I quit smoking already!!! OFFICIALLY A NON SMOKER last Monday. (Giggity giggity) now I get to take my "smoking funds" and turn them into boob funds! (Much better investment)
Anyway. That's all for now. So if there's any other skinny minnis out there with 2 members of the itty bitty committee, who got 350-425cc Please feel free to say hello! :)

Congrats on quitting smoking! I smoked for 11 years straight and quit a year and 1/2 ago. It gets easier. Also, I think the 400 is a good "average" size for u considering ur height. Your shoulders will be more broad so that would look great on you :D ...averaged I know what this page does to u, it can be an obsession!
June 5, 2015
Thank you thank you!!!! I'm pretty stoked about the quitting smoking (on top of all the other things I'm excited about haha) I don't even want to talk about how long i was smoking... It's disgusting. We will just say it was more then half of my life at this point.. BRING ON THE MONEY SAVING!!! Hahaha
Thank you for your input on size too! I keep having moments of thinking I'm crazy for considering 400cc..... If I had any boobs to start with 400cc would probably be too big.. But I think since I'm basically starting from scratch it will be good... That is if 400 will even fit my rib cage. I don't know my BWD, but guessing by other people's stats they will... Another girl said "go with what ever will fill your rib cage width the most.... I think that's good advice. Made sense to me anyway... She was even smaller then me weight wise, and similar in the chest department, she had 400cc and they fit her perfectly. If I remember correctly they were within 6mm of her own width... That seems really close, but even with her tiny build they still fit her..
And oh yes is this site ever a total obsession!!! I told my husband it's like Facebook for boobs! Lol. Only with less drama and negativity. So I think it's a good trade off. Hahaha. Although if it takes a whole year still for me to get in for surgery, I'm going to run out of things to read. :S
How are you doing 34aa!!! Your surgery is soooooonnnnnn!!!! I bet your beside yourself :) nesting like crazy?
June 9, 2015
Yes definitely nesting! 3 more days til preop. I have been in ur shoes, with the quitting smoking and waiting to "set the date" but it will be here before u know it and ull feel like the most educated fake boob lady. Lol I feel like I learned so much and researched so much because of this site. Imagine how many ppl go to the doc without this website and know nothing except they want bigger boobs. Lol I like details. It is like another addicting facebook...for boobs! We can all relate on the same level. Some docs will do free consults. Only 1 more month and 1 week for ur consult! I had to wait awhile for my consult too. You can measure ur bwd at home if u get a soft, clothing measuring ruler. I measured mine at home and it was exactly what the doc measured. It helps gives u an idea what size u can go up to "more safely". Natrelle website has a full detailed graph with bwd sizes and cc sizes. Lol ..told u I like details!

I wanna jump in on this conversation for advice. I will be having surgery with dr hasell in Aug and I cant decide on a size. If you see my pics I am probably a 34aaa, its so depressing. When I had my consult I told him I wanted a small C and I tried on 350cc. They looked good, but because I have nothing at all I am thinking of going up to 375cc (dr hasell suggested this) because i am so lean they wont look that big on me. He also said he would do cohesive gel and high proflie. What do you guys think? I want a nick rack but nothing to crazy lol
June 12, 2015
Sorry woman6969 in not sure how I didn't see this message until now!
Ultimately it's totally what you are comfortable with, but in my opinion
I say go with Dr.hassel's suggestion.
I thought I was set on 350cc.. I searched specifically 350cc reviews.. And after reading a zillion reviews and looking at what seemed like every possible photo, I found some that were PERFECT! the size and shape and fit were exactly what I am aiming for... However the girls With those results were usually at least 3 inches shorter then me and 10+ pounds lighter...(which is kinda crazy cuz I'm pretty skronny lol) .. So I figured, for me to accomplish something just as proportionate as they have id need to go just a touch bigger... The difference between 350 and 375 is sooooooo minimal that I can't see it pushing you beyond that line of "too big".. :)
I personally have gone from wanting 350, to being undecided between 375 and 400!!!!! I will leave it up to dr hassel in the end. But I can't believe I'm considering it myself. 400 has always seemed like a lot, but that was before finding this site.. Lol.
June 18, 2015
True! Starting off with very little means that those bigger sounding cc's won't get you ginormous boobs. Check out my profile- went from nothing to the perfect size! Not too big, not too small! Easily hidden in clothes, but still show a womanly, sexy shape: )
I can also play them up & look super sexy if I want! Naked they're definitely more prominent..just what I wanted! They turned out just how I wanted!
I went back & forth between 350-375-400cc...ultimately my doctor chose for me on the table during surgery. He matched my wish pic exactly! I'm very happy with his decision; )

Hi!! : ) You have such a great body to start, oh my gosh. Boobies are going to add even more loveliness to your shape! I was pretty small like you and I got 375cc & 400cc mod + silicone unders. LOVE THEM! The mod + helped fill my gap between to give me nice cleavage & I have just a hint of side-boob...so far! I AM only at 3 weeks post-op today, so things may change a considerable amount!
I'm SOOOO excited for you & really looking forward to hearing how things are going..keep up your updates, we are here to help!! XO

Haha. Thank you!!! I am very happy with my body overall, however I CANT WAIT to have something on top to take away that feeling of being built like a pre-pubescent boy! That being said, my mom has always had a very large chest, even at a very tiny 113 pounds she still had a DD.. I never could understand how that worked... BUT... she has NOOOOOOO bum what so ever, she couldn't carry her kids with one arm resting on her hip like most of us can because she had no hip for the baby to rest on. Lol... I remember when I was a kid going shopping with her, she was looking for a pair of jeans and on my goodness what a process that was.. I remember saying her bum is so non existent it's almost inverted. Lol... Anyway, the point of that whole story, I am very happy the gene pool decided to go the way it did, dealing with my chest, or lack there of has certainly been a heck of a lot easier then my moms lack of bum. Lol. They don't make super push up bras for bums. :) but I'm sooooooooo ready to move on with my self induced puberty. HAHAHAHAHA
I am very interested to see what my PS suggests for profile.. I'm guessing HP purely based on reading other people's stories. I don't want a ton of side boob, so I'm pretty sure Mod+ will be too wide. However looking at yours they fit you perfectly, so we will see. I haven't tried measuring my BWD just for a guess yet. I honestly don't have a preference either way, I just don't want a ton of side boob and I also don't want a big gap between them, while at the same time I don't want them touching when I'm not wearing a bra..... Lol. How's that for bossy? Haha. Hopefully all these things are attainable.
Sadly my surgery isn't booked yet. I still have a looooong ways to go :( my consult is in August. In all likely hood it will be another year for my surgery, we were talking about next spring, but I don't want to do it right before summer. Primarily because we live in a community with a lake, so I don't want to ruin my kids summer by having to be really careful all summer and not being able to go in the water with them, sand in incisions. Ect.. Also, it will be easier to hide the frankenboob stage in the fall/winter. As much as I WISH WISH WISH I could do it this fall, I'm in the saving money stage still... I have always promised myself, and my husband and I have always agreed that I would not go into debt for my boobs... As much as I disagree with that at the moment. Lol. I've even tried "justifying why it would actually be beneficial to finance " to my husband but he's my voice of reason. Lol. And deep down i know he's right. He said "find a way to get an interest free loan and then I'll agree." Hahaha. Ouch... Soooo. It's another year for me, but I've waited 15 or so years already, so another year is nothing all in all. I sure will get to see a lot of before and after a between now and then lol.
Wow that got really long... Sorry about that. :D keep sharing your story, some of us have nothing but time on our hands to be educated haha!

Hi! I'm 5'7 and 127 lbs. I just got 371 cc moderate plus natrelle. I'm almost 4 weeks in and I absolutely love them. I haven't even finished the drop and fluff process and I have great cleavage and some side boob already. I'm supposed to end up full C small D. The 400 would have made me a D already so I didn't want that. I'm very active so didn't want it in the way or have back issues in the future. My Dr. Is Paul Vitenas. He's a top reviewed surgeon. He's known for providing a natural look which a lot of women want, including me. HP from the research I did will give you more upper pole fullness, its not so much about cleavage from what I've seen, the less high the profile the more natural they will look. It's really a matter of preference. Hope this helps. Good luck!! Btw I quit smoking almost 5 years ago after over 10 years. It gets easier with time and can't ever imagine going back. One of the best decisions you'll ever make.
July 3, 2015
Hey!! Thank you for the info. Sounds like you and I have a very similar build and want pretty much the same outcome. I'm glad to hear your healing well and are happy with the results. You should start a review so I can follow it :) congrats to you on quitting smoking too! Even though it was 5 years ago, that's still great! It's nice to move song with life after smoking! Now bring on the BOOBS!!!! hahaha. :)
July 6, 2015
Lol sounds like a plan. I tried to start a review with my pics but just got rid of my laptop and my phone is acting up but will keep trying. I have been keeping track of my progress through pics though. I'll keep trying bc I know it might help others. Good luck to you!!!
