Day 1. I was nervous the dr would go bigger than I wanted. I really wanted a small change. I am a small person 5 ft / 98 lbs and have always been flat chested. I am very fit and active (run marathons) and I don't mind being small breasted BUT I was REALLY small and won't go anywhere without a padded bra which is HOT and uncomfortable in the summer. My surgery was yesterday. I ended up with 175cc. My range going in was 150cc-200cc. Me wanting 150cc and dr thinking 200/225cc would look best. He called my husband post operation and said that I didn't have much skin due to being so fit and thin and ended up with 175cc. I know it's swollen and all now but I'm pretty happy right out the gate. Small implants are bigger than I have and I think will fit my lifestyle. By the way, I'm almost 40 years old (in October), have 2 boys (8 & 5) they were both partially breast fed and I'm a business professional. My husband didn't want me to change myself but I hope in the end he ends up liking the result. I think I will!! Definitley sore, but not too bad. Just staking tylenol but did take the prescription when I had trouble sleeping last night. Procedure was 10:30am on Wed and I plan to go back to work (desk job) on Monday. Hopefully I'll be ready. Follow up with dr is not until 2 weeks post op.

Well done!! I'm going for something very similar! Which type of implant did he use? We're they anatomical?
All the best!!

They look great! I keep being told I have to go with highly cohesive teardrop shape cuz I have barely anything there(?)!!
Lookin good, I'm glad you're happy!

That's interesting. I should have done more research. My Dr. was like "we do silicon under the muscle". There was never a conversation or debate. He never talked about different types. Personally I think I would have liked teardrop. I was not given options and simply told myself, "this is Mass General Hospital, very reputable hospital and I should just go with whatever they say." I honestly think they look too big right now. Would have liked smaller 130-150 cc but Dr. said you need to have the right width too or it looks bad. Again, knowing he is a surgeon at Mass General, I'm trusting his judgement. I'm sure they will be LESS BIG as the swelling reduces and they drop into their final position.

I think you look great, and going with the proper hospital was a good idea. Follow-up at some of these clinics can be dreadful! Whichever you received, I think they're perfect ! Fingers crossed, I'm as lucky ! All the best!

The results are perfect! I recently went for a consult and asked for the smallest implant possible
I am small 5'1" and 100 lbs
The Dr was pushy with bigger is better
So my search for another Dr continues!!
I wish you a speedey and healthy recovery!!
Again, your decision to stay small is extremly complimentary to your small frame!
Enjoy!

Pain is completely manageable at this point. I took a shower yesterday. I have not taken tylenol for 24 hrs now. Sleeping on my back stinks. Anyone know when I can sleep on my side? Sleeping was not in my instructions, it only says to wear the surgical bra all the time until my 2 week follow up.

Congrats on the procedure and to be quite frank they look really good for day four post op. Hope you're sleeping better. From what I gather because your implants are comparatively smaller I'm wondering if they will drop that much but as they are they look great and not a day older than 24! Happy healing.

Finally feeling normal again. Started running and biking and not wearing that horrible surgical bar all the time. Sleeping on my side again too. LOVE that! I like my new boobs. They have softened allot but I hope they soften up even more over the next couple months! I hope I just keeping liking them more and more.

Hi. The small implants look great on you! Are you happy with your decision to get implants? I have a similar frame, and I am thinking of getting very small implants - 120 to 150 cc if the doctor will do that. I am seeking advice from people who are similar to me in the sense that you are very athletic with a small implant and small frame. Thanks!

They fit your frame nicely! I have my surgery in 2 1/2 weeks and am debating between 175 and 200 and am pretty stressed about the decision. I'm athletic as well and run marathons and am 5"4 and 110lbs and don't want to look big, I just want a little curve to look more feminine. I'm torn between the two sizes.
Congratulations! I bet you're going to enjoy your new look. Not too small, not too big...just right! Hoping you'll comment on a forum for women with smaller than average sized implants. It can be tough finding women with smaller implants so it's nice to have a special forum for them. Keep us posted as you continue to heal!
