I want to ditch my toe-stubbing padded bras and enjoy having a full chest. I have always been interested in bigger breasts, but never thought I would go through with it! After my second child stopped breast feeding in December 2014, I knew I wanted to find out more. I'm looking forward to my procedure on 03/10/15.
I'm a bit surprised by how quickly I committed to having this procedure. My children are 4 year and 16 months old, and I was initially quite concerned about not being able to pick up my little son since I am the primary care provider to our children outside of daycare. My adopted daughter (who is blessed in the bosom area and is super excited for me) has agreed to sleep over for two weeks until my lifting restrictions expire. However, I know the time will fly by, and as long as someone who loves my kiddos is nearby to help, all is well. And, by having the procedure done now, I'll be able to show the girls off during my vacation in early May (7 weeks post-op) and all summer long. I can cover them up as we await spring! I don't take coincidence lightly, so I'm celebrating the timing as a sign it's meant to be.
I cannot imagine this process without this website! First, Dr. Tholen offered a 10% discount on my service based on the referral from RealSelf (and saving a few bucks never hurts!). Moreover, the reports of others has been extremely reassuring and has provided invaluable direction to me.

Here is a photo of my current profile. I'm 5'9", about 165 lbs. I wear a 36b, but I'm sure an A cup would suffice these days. I'm not buying new bras until after my procedure!

Fitting room pics - sizers

These are not super accurate and I don't even know what sizers were from what pic anymore, but these are the pics of me with the sizers in. I tried 3, all within one size of the middle one. The assistant held the sports bra tight against my back while trying them on, explaining the result was more accurate that way given the sub-muscular compaction. Since I was at the office solo, however, these pics don't show that - someone had to take the photo!

Hi, you are taller, just like me! It is so hard to decide on size, there are 1000000 choices:) Keep us posted!

It is so difficult to decide on a size, especially when there is such a small difference between the size range that you like. I picked the 304cc and Dr. Tholen put in 360cc (for sub-muscular compression). I didn't even know there was a 360cc size! Regardless, I'm glad that I didn't go any smaller. I'm still riding high and my boobs are tight, so they look smaller and feel smaller than the 304 sizers I tried on. I honestly think you just have to go with your gut and what just "feels" right on your body. The 339 felt just a tad heavy on me, whereas the 304 felt "just right." Best of luck picking a size. It's difficult and you will likely question the size you pick just like all the other women on here seem to do!
