WORTH IT$8,000
I have been thinking about implants for a few months. I have been really training alot and was hoping that I would be abel to revive my boobs from the breastfeeding and two kids. Ummm no so....not gonna happen. So now my body looks great....lost about 23 lbs in the last 5 months and I need to get my body shape in balance. I am very athletic, tall, 6'0 and shapely. Although my boobs look like they belong on the underside of a cow nursing. My boyfriend is fine with them but I told him...I need a change. So of course he is very supportive and so is my family. I was thinking that I would do the procedure over the Xmas holiday so Ive been readign loads of posts on here preparing my mind. I talk to my BA specialist and everything is booked up so fast forward......my procedure will be done in a week!!!! Ok lets say Im nervous.....have some anxiety and hope that I can have a good recovery time.. My son who is 6 cant stay away from me too long. But I have arranged for him to be with his grandma. How do you get out of these jittery emotions... Im assuming everyone has experienced them.
I am planning on getting silicone moderate implants under the muscle....my BA doc suggested 650cc for me....looking for a full look to match my body...Im a 36B now......was a 36C before the kids and looking to be 36D FULL or 36DD. But that seems like alot compared to others on here....but most of the ones Ive read were petite or alot shorter than me. I will try and post some pics before.. Im nervous.... Wish me luck!!!

Ok so Im 4 days away from the big day. I posted before pics up last night. I was telling my boyfriend when we went out last night and he said "our [RS bleep] are on the internet for everyone to see?" and I laughed and was like yes just like everyone else's. Anyway, thanks for the support on this site. Everyone has been very helpful giving me information to prepare myself along with sharing their own personal stories. Im still a little unsure about the size. My doctor said I could go up to 700cc... I tried on a 659 cc implant and was happy with the look. I just recently bought some more padded bras last week thinking I had a few weeks til my procedure and then I find out I was having it in a week. After reading a few posts, I think Im going to try the rice test. Ive been wearing a bombshell bra for VS which puts me at a D and I think that I just need more fullness...so FULL D /DD is my goal. And then Im wondering because Im getting silicone am I limited in the size fi they are doing incision through the aerola. Mine are pretty large and my boyfriend was saying that once my body gets relaxed, they will be able to get them in there. I dont know. I think I saw a post where someone had 500cc put in that way. I have alot of extra questions for my doctor this week.

From one tall gal to another, good luck this Friday! I was absolutely petrified prior to my surgery, but so glad I did it! In addition to the tips found on this site, I would get some lozenges/hard candy for your throat after. I wish I'd had them for the car ride home. The breathing tube used during anesthesia leaves you with a sore/scratchy throat and I kept coughing, like trying to clear my throat. I had honey lozenges (non menthol) at home that helped. Also, my doc suggested colace and metamucil to be taken 3 days prior to surgery, as well as 1 week after. I really had no issues with constipation after the 1st day, after I began eating normal again. You may want to try that if your PS doesn't recommend it for you because I know it's a big problem for most. Good luck ~ you'll do great. I know you must be very nervous but you'll look awesome in the long run!

RavensGal thanks for the heads up on lozenges and the metamucil. Sounds like there is alot of preparation before and after. Im getting the house in order so theres not much that I need to do. Im going by the drugstore today.

Hello tallgirl, thanks for sharing your story. You are going to look amazing with new ta ta's! Are you considering saline or silicone?? moderate or high profile? Â I am 5'10 with only 304 cc's and fit into a full C/D cup. So pleased with the outcome -very natural results. Look forward to seeing the post op piks soon! Good Luck:)

Hey there Kooberry......you look great. Im doing the silicone and moderate. Im going to talk to my PS about the size.....been wearing a bombshell bra 36D and I think I need just a little more fullness. Before my kids I was a full 36C but after breastfeeding and losing weight over the years, they have taken a beating. Im 43 although most people think Im 28 :). Im living my life and now my upper needs to match my lower. I work hard on my abs and they will look even better with cleavage from some boobies!!!! Tall girls can pull it off!! I want them to look natural and proportioned to my body.

Ok I was just talking with a friend who has implants....shes telling me that 659cc is too big. Im not trying to be a stripper on the pole.....no offense to anyone who does...I have friends that are strippers...but I dont want them to be humongous. I want them to be full, perky and nice with my clothes. I think I will go over size again and take pictures when I see him this week so we can be on the same page. Cause once they're in its too late to wake up and say ummmmm TOO BIG!!!!!! I will be doing rice test to get a good idea.

And just remember, your PS is the professional. Days before my BA, I was second guessing the cc too (couldnt decided between 400-450cc) but I put my trust into my PS and glad I did. Like he said 450cc was perfect for the look I was going for anything less and I would have been sayin I should have gone bigger ;)
December 5, 2012
Yes I'm am trusting his judgment and because of my height I have seen others with high CC's on the site and they looked good for their proportion. I guess if I do end up on the DD side i will ask if anyone knows a good place to buy bras cause VS stops at a D.

Ok so went in for pre-op blood work and also talked about what to expect.
I'm not as worried about the size. I was told the saline usually look bigger based on how
they are shaped. I'm going to circuit training tonight since I will have to
miss Saturdays session. Feeling anxious so working
Out tonight should help. Have meds ordered for pickup
and they provide the bra to wear so I'm good in that area
Started taking vitamin c and miss you liquid vitamins
To prepare my body for good healing. In 3 days I will be on
thr other side. Talked to my sister today about it. She lives
Out of town but will be visiting for Xmas with her hubby. I
Thinks I was more nervous sharing the news with my mom and
Sister but they were both cool with it. My dad and brother will
Just have to see it after its done. So many emotions
The workout should help me relax tonight.

Congrats.....on the soon to be new you...can't wait to see your process
December 6, 2012
Thanks November Rose.........it seems close but the day goes by and Im so busy I feel as if Im running out of time and wont get everything done. My boyfriend said he is going to take care of me....which is something Im not really use to but Im going to let him do it.
December 6, 2012
You must be getting excited! Not too much longer now.
December 6, 2012
Angel1981......excited and nervous but Im sure things will be fine. I have so much I want to get done before that day because Im always on the run. Looking forward to the new boobies.......no more padded bras of adjusting my boobies in my bra. No more falling out where there is suppose to be cleavage. I cant wait to see the improved me!!!
December 6, 2012
OMG, I know what you mean about the size issue. I had my pre op today and they ordered 397 and I'm nervous as hell about it. Everyone keeps telling me it will be just fine and that it's not too much for me....BTW< my sister just had 650 and 695 put in, with a lift and she's only like 5'6", so on you I'm sure 600 is good.
December 6, 2012
Softgirl....did your sister do silicone or saline? I will probably go with the PS recommendation at the 659cc....he said I could go up to 700 but I will play it safe with the lower one I tried on in the office. Nervous feeling that Im running out of time. Im happy though because I got the Xmas tree and decorated with the kids tonight. I didnt want to not get it done before my procedure and everything worked out well. I have noticed a few posts saying sleeping propped up or on your back. I was thinking about getting a body pillow or a couple more for comfort if needed. I have four pillows on my bed already but extra cushion wont hurt if i need to be laid up for a couple of days to recoup. Im self employed so I basically make my schedule....so Im hoping that I can rest over the weekend and not be helpless for a whole week unless a client calls me with an issue. But I do have backup support just in case. I hope my appt is a morning one so I can sleep away the remainder of the day. Ive been drinking lots of water and do have drops to soothe my throat in case it gets irritated. I cant believe that Friday is almost here.....Hoping for a good nights sleep on Thursday!!!

My sister had silicone by Silimed. And shes not as tall as you. I think 650 should be enough. The patient coordinator lady that did my sizing yesterday was like quite tall, and she had 550's, but she was very thin too.

Yes, taller ladies can generally pull off larger implants.
Your surgery is in 5 days! Wow!
