First of all I would like to say that this site has really helped me out in making my final decision to have my breasts enlarged so thank you all that have posted reviews!
Anyway I am 21, 5'3", no children, and I wear a 34A bra. I have been told by someone who measured them that I am actually a "nearly A" but I think I have grown into an A now. That being said, they haven't grown since! I am about to get married so I'm not looking to get them to find a man or anything. I'm just your average college student about to start her life. I am healthy and I have a great body so it's time that I compliment this body with a nice rack ;)
All reviews that have been updated regularly have really helped me out so I'm going to do the same. I know it's a little early to start posting a review, but I just couldn't wait. I'm too excited! :)
I wil have before pictures soon and I'm going to put the 3D rendering the Surgeon did for me.

Heck no, it's never too early! We love to hear about the process all the way through.

Congratulations on your upcoming marriage! Will you be getting this done before your wedding?

May 15, 2012
Thank you! Unfortunately I will not have them before I get married because I'm only 21 and my birthday isn't until August 17 hence my date being the 20th ;) and Mentor does not allow women to get gel implants until they are 22.

I need to add that I am 115 pounds.
I plan on getting 300cc, under muscle, Mentor Memory Gel implants. I was going to go with 350cc, but Dr. Salzman said that he would like to stay at 300 because I'm so small he's afraid you would begin to see the implant at 350.. I'm just afraid I would have wanted them to be bigger, but I greatly appreciate his concern. That made me trust him more because he actually cared about me looking natural which is what I want.

Congrats on your upcoming Marriage! That 3d model looks great. Yay for upcoming BOOBIES :-)

Thank you! :)

What do you mean"you'll start to see the implant"? I've never heard of that, unless he's talking about rippling? did you try the bra on with the implant?
May 18, 2012
Like it will be less natural looking. I have a very small frame and that's what he thinks will look best. I get to try on sizes July 30th and I'm going to have him explain it in more detail then and let ya know.
May 19, 2012
If you have a small frame you should go silicone. That's what I am doing. I don't have any fat (on the top half of my body lol) so the doc suggested silicone. Might talk to him about that. I think you'll be surprised how small 300cc is... I was. Let me know how it goes, good luck!!
May 19, 2012
I am going with silicone. I didn't say that but that's what Mentor Memory Gel implants are :). I am afraid I wished I would have gone bigger so I do really need to have a talk with him and ask more questions about it in July. Gosh July is so far away!!!

May 21, 2012
Yay I'm so excited for you! Also jealous, but mostly excited haha. I've been keeping an eye on your review as well.

Well when you get to try on the bras with the implants, try on both the 300 and 350 and see which one you like better. Also, ask if he can do a 3D rendering of both the sizes for you so you can get an idea of what the outcome will look like.
June 20, 2012
P.S. The 3D rendering you have up now is of the 300cc right?
June 22, 2012
Yeah it's 300cc, but he did 350 too and I coudn't tell a difference because it's not real life. You know like you can't see the natural fold underneath and it is really hard to truly tell what it may look like. I go July 30th to try on the sizers so I hope that helps better than the rendering!

Hi! I have my BA in 9 days! I had my post-opt on Monday. I brought a few outfits with me that I normally wear. A dress, a top w/sweater. I dress a little conservative and I wanted to see how the different size implants would look in my real attire not just a sports bra and t-shirt they provided. I suggest doing that to get a better idea and take photos of front on and side view. This really changed my mind to going to 350 HP Mentor memory gel rather than the 300 mentor plus. Now, I will say he is ordering both for me incase I change my mind but I am feeling more confident about my decision. Bring someone with you that is honest but not too vocal, you really need to make your own decision in what you feel is best and not have someone tell you what you should get unless of course it's your PS giving you advice!:) Good luck! All the best with your upcoming marriage!
June 22, 2012
That's a really good idea actually. Thank you, seriously. :)
June 21, 2012
Hi alison~ I think 300 will be a great size for you! I'm actually 5"10 and went with 304cc's - currently wear a C/D cup bra. You are very petite and since you do want natural results don't go much bigger than 300!!! Your doctor sounds VERY professional to not just give you any size. Some do that with no regard to the consequences of excessive tissue stretching. My PS will not give extra large implants and that is actually why I chose him to do my BA (his revision rates are much lower than the national average.) I wish you the best of luck:-)
June 22, 2012
I knooow that's what I really liked about him! Thank you :)
June 22, 2012
P.S. I just noticed your waist is soooooooo small! Lucky girl, you've been blessed with great genes ;)
June 22, 2012
Aw thanks :)
