Having considered breast augmentation since I was 18, I had done TONS of research. I was certain I wanted to have the procedure done, but the hardest part still remained, what size to choose! Reading blog after blog, and doctor reviews, and talking with my surgeon, he convinced me that he could make any size look beautiful, but if it were up to him he would go no larger than 350cc HP silicone. I was very disheartened because I had my heart set on 400cc. Having a very small bust my whole life I wanted to make sure i was going to have "great cleavage", which he assured me that at 350cc I most definitely would. I ended up choosing the 350cc and after my surgery, was a little disappointed to see that my boobs looked plain weird! They were far apart, hard, and cone like. However, after about a month they started settling just like Dr. Gervais said they would at my check up. He also showed me exactly where they would fall to after they were healed and ensured me that I would have great cleavage and that they would even bounce when I ran! haha It's been 5 months now and I am SO glad I listened to my surgeon. As they are the PERFECT size for me. I know 32DD sounds huge, but they are so natural looking. They are the perfect size to play up in a push- up or down when I wear a sports bra at the gym. I have never felt so confident in my life!! I have stumped women and had so many ask if my boobs were natural because they look it! Even my husband has noticed a huge difference in my playfulness, because I can now finally buy lingerie that fits AND looks great! My advice: do a lot of research, especially when choosing a surgeon!!! Someone who will be honest with you, and listen to him or her and you will be so happy with the results!
