About me: I started working out 2 years ago and about 1 year into my lifestyle change, I noticed that my bras were not fitting and my boobs had significantly shrunken. Before, I was a 32C and now I have no idea what my bra size is. Honestly, I usually wear sports bras or bralettes and have not gotten fitted in awhile. Sometime before my surgery, I will go and get fitted so I can have a good comparison of what my post surgery size will be. Anyway, it was for this reason that I started considering getting breast work done. Fast forward one year, I am now more certain than ever that this is what I want! :)
I had my consultation with Dr. Gervais on November 15th at Minneapolis Plastic Surgery. I was already very excited before my consult, but after seeing and talking with Dr. G, I am ecstatic at the thought of my surgery! During the consult, I was able to try on different sizes and I decided on 421cc. I had my friend with me and she also thought 421cc looked best on me.
My surgery is scheduled for Jan 5th so I will be playing a very impatient waiting game until then. But I hope to keep you guys updated on my process and progress during the pre/post surgery phases! :)

Wish Boobs
These were the wish boobs I went in to my consultation with. Some people see photos of boobs and want those exact pair. I used my "wish boobs" simply for size wishing. One thing to understand is that you cannot change the anatomy or orientation of the boobs you already have. After surgery, you will still have the same look of your current breasts, only larger! Just something to keep in mind for anyone who is looking to get work done... :)

I also went to Dr. Gervais for my BA, back in May of 2015. I am 5'4" and around 145lbs. I started out with a small 34B. I tried on 371, 397, 421, and 457cc sizers. I ultimately decided on 397. I am now a 34D. I honestly wish I would have went bigger! I wish I had done the 457's! I was like, "Oh, boob greed won't happen to me!" All I wanted to be was a large C/small D after surgery, but a few months after living with my new D's, I realized I wish I had gone bigger. When in doubt, go a little bigger!

Omg thank you so much for the info Sue! :) Yeah I am always reading about boob greed and I don't want to run into that issue. I know that I can change my size right up until surgery, but do you know if it is possible to do a quick resizing the day of my surgery before I go into the OR?! I don't have time to schedule another consult before then :/

I think that size looks good. Does your dr allow you to select a range? I left the selection up to my dr. I told him wht I wanted and what I didn't want. I picked a range from 400-500cc's. I ended up getting 425 in my left and 500 in my right. I am 2 weeks post op and have felt great. They of course are still high, and the swellling is just about gone. I'm 5'4, 135 pounds with 3 kids. I can't wait for them to settle and to wear an actual bra lol. My dr doesn't want me in any other bra than the one he put me in.

Hi so sorry for the belated reply! How is your progress going?! I got resized and am deciding to go with 457cc or 497cc! Probably 497 because I hear 50cc's will disappear when you go under the muscle like I am doing. Have you thought of creating a review so we can follow your progress?! :)
