WORTH IT$6,353
For Patriciajohnson. Hope this helps a bit. It was the most stressful decision for me. I spent weeks looking at boobs trying to figure out what size would look good on me. In the end, my PS helped tremendously! Because I am so broad chested and big booty'd I went bigger than I initially thought I would, but now I still wish I had gone a little larger. Everything settles and the muscle does mask the size. While the 397cc implant looked HUGE in the bra trying them on, it looks much smaller when it's in and under the muscle.
Good luck!
Good luck!

Photos Showing Breast to Hip Ratio
Sorry the photos aren't the most clear but hopefully you can see the breast to hip ratio with implants. Again, I'm 4'11" and 125ish pounds (I do not weigh myself EVER. The only reason I know is from my pre-op physical :) with a very broad chest and hips/butt. I have 397cc on left and 371cc on the right I'll try to have my husband take one from the side tomorrow so you can see how well my new breasts match my weightlifter's booty too...haha! Hope this helps a little with sizing stress. I wholeheartedly agree with those who say pick the size you are comfortable with and then go up 30-50cc. They are right on the money with that advice. I wish I had gone up a size or even 2.

My legs are just ridiculous. I so wish I had more height to balance them out. Anyone who says leggings aren't pants has never tried to fit these legs into jeans! It's futile ;)

Thanks for the full body shots! Yes, you made a good choice on size for your ba! They are in proportion to your size. I love those quads!! BAM! I'M built like you in that I have good development in my quads which is why I posted my question about military presses. I work hard to build my delts to offset my quads and glutes. I'm looking forward to seeing your side shot! :)

One Month Post-op Photos!
I had my one month post-op visit with my surgeon today and I got the okay to wear underwire...woo hoo!! We immediately made our way to VS to try on bras :) I sized out I a 34DD (34DDD in some depending on the style). Sorry for the poor quality in some. I was put in a totally pink dressing room and my camera didn't take the best photos. But boy, was it ever fun! I have been struggling with a little bit of boob greed and let me tell you, the best remedy for that it to try on a push-up bra and then put your shirt on. Holy smokes, there was no more boob greed after that! I ended up buying 2 of the bras I tried on today. I'm sooo excited to wear something pretty after a month of ugly bras.
My surgeon also cleared me to start some light upper body weights and I could not have been more happy to hear that. He said some light biceps, triceps, yoga, stretching, etc. No chest yet and that's okay by me. I have absolutely no desire to work my chest right now. I'm not having any pain, just slight twinges here and there if I do too much. He said I can start weights without restriction (but still slow and steady) at 6-8 weeks or so. I've been a good patient and have been doing legs, core and spinning on the bike for the last 2 weeks but I'm so over leg days!!
I started using scar cream on my incisions a week ago (at 3 weeks post) but they look so great I wouldn't even care if they got better! My surgeon did a beautiful job! I'll try to post a photo later.
I hope you all are healing well my beautiful boob friends!

Hi, you look great. I got interested in your profile, because we share similar dates of surgery. I also noted that you are petite and love to work out. I did however go by 100 CC's larger than you it's just nice to see that you are as active as me, and are healing nicely . As you I, have started doing lower leg exercises and non bouncing cardio, as well as very light upper body, no chest. I do look forward to being able to have a complete workout, however I also want to make sure I heal completely and well. Let me know how your work out routines go, as you move forward. One of my big concerns is when I start to run, I wonder how it will feel to have these beautiful new boobs and I hope it feels just as good as they look. Happy healing.

Thank you so much! I took a peek at your profile and you look absolutely amazing! Made my boob greed come back full force :)
So last night after the ok from my surgeon, we went to the gym and I attempted back and biceps. After a few (very light) rows I realized I was feeling too much pull in my pecs and stopped immediately. Like you, I don't want to ruin anything. I would rather heal well and not have any setbacks. So instead I did some biceps and abs. I used about 1/4-1/2 of the weight I usually use and only did exercises that I could really isolate my biceps because I found the pull on my chest muscles was uncomfortable. Have you found any other upper body that you are able to do well without being painful/uncomfortable?
I'm not a runner at all so I totally lucked out in that department! But we do some high intensity (box jumps and the like) and I will have to invest in a high impact sports bra for sure before I will even attempt anything like that. I tried one on at VS yesterday that was very supportive but was loathe to spend so much on a sports bra.
Thanks so much for commenting! I will follow your feed as I'm very interested in how other active people are getting back into the swing of things. Happy healing to you as well. Cheers!

Hi, yes, I can relate to your comment about at gym. I have also started using half the weight of what I am used to and that seems plenty. Doing more reps the normal, obviously. I do find that challenging too... just seems like everything I do uses chest in some form. Few of the exercises I found that didn't were: tricep kickbacks with dumbells, overhead tricep rows,with dumbbell; light rope tricep pull downs. Biceps exercises in general just lighter and free wts only, no machines that push against chest. For deltoids, rows, regular front lifts, side lifts, and the bent over sitting rows for rear delts, not standing(found that sitting, my boobs lie on my lap protected, no pulling from gravity). Hope this helps. Have not tried back exercises yet, have you? ?
Btw, ty about the comment from my post!!

Hahaha! Your so funny, can't tell blue is your favorite color! Girl, don't even think about boob envy! VS is so annoying, 82$ for a bra is robbery, ugh...I love that sports bra though, so sexy and practical! !

Blue is one of least favorite colors if you can believe it!! But I loved the new dark blue/green Very Sexy line! Green is my go-to color and VS has no green :( Boob envy is real! The only way I make myself feel ok is that I only would have gone up one size and that's 20 some cc's more anyway. The sports bra was awesome but I have to restrain myself and buy a little bit at a time or I will seriously go broke buying bras!

You could easily spend 500$ on 4 bras there! I know which bra you are talking about, I just got their magazine in the mail it's on the front cover, and I was thinking that is the first thing I am buying when I am done, interesting you were looking at it too, did you buy it?

You mean you would have done 420cc? You are 3 inches shorter than me, I went to a consult last week, they recommended 275cc mod +, supposedly because I am so petite, it looked like nothing changed in the 3D images?? I am going back Thursday to talk size because we need to be in the 350 area. But you have to consider your breast width, mine is 12.5cm so he wants to stay within that frame so that takes out a few options, especially 400cc : (

Hi there. I'm looking to follow fun size ladies like me. I'm 5'2 and also strength train. I was hoping to see an update from you and to hear hiw your weight training is coming along post ba. I'm looking to schedule mine for February 2016. Any advice for me?

Hi there!! I am almost 3 months post-op and am back to full strength work outs. The only thing still lagging is chest day which isn't surprising. I'm at about 75% of what I was benching before surgery. I've tried to limit my chest weights because I'm still a bit spooked about ruining the beautiful work my PS did. I started back on legs at 3 weeks post-op and upper body (no chest) at 6 weeks post-op. I didn't do any chest until 8-9 weeks and then only light weight and only bench (barbell and dumbbell both flat and incline. No flys, no cable crossover). I still am not doing any flys because the PS I consulted before had mentioned never to do flys again and I'm too scared to try :)
My left implant does move around a lot while lifting and it freaks me out sometimes. I have no issues with my right. It's not painful at all, but does feel incredibly strange. It's just something I will have to get used to. It is common from what I've heard from other lifters with implants.
If you have any other questions, holler!

Thanks for the upate on strength training after your ba. One other question: are you able to do military presses with a bar or Dumbbells? I'm wondering because I love military presses. They've helped me build some really nice delts. I'm trying to time my ba appointment so that I can get back in the gym before summer time. Also, it would be nice if you can post a full body pic with your new girls, if you feel comfortable. It helps for us "fun size" girls who are still undecided with sizing options ;)

Just did shoulders today...no issues at all with military presses with both the bar and dumbbells. I have kind of a crappy photo that shows my hip/breast ratio (taken at the gym in gym clothes but you can still get a sense of sizing). I'll post it shortly.
