3 Months Post-op Side View

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!

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.

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!

Dr. Gervais made me feel comfortable right away. From my consultation through my surgery, I felt at ease and confident in his capabilities. My husband and I had been to one other consultation and once we met Dr. Gervais, we knew he would be the one doing my procedure. He is very friendly and easy to talk to. I was nervous about the size I had chosen he gave my his honest recommendations. His staff has also been wonderful to deal with. I'm only one day post-op but would recommend him to my friends or family!
