35 Year Old PANCAKE Breasts!! Needing a BA. Mississauga, ON

ORIGINAL POST

I was always happy with my breast even though they were on the smaller side - they were 34B/C, firm and perky. I loved how they looked.

Two kids later who were breastfed....they are now pancakes. I can fill a 34B Victoria Secret bra, but wear the Bombshell!! Tired of looking at my breasts being flat - they are drained and floppy. So I always joked with my husband about a BA, and then started talking seriously about it for a year. I couldn't stop looking at women's breasts and having serious breast envy! I really just wanted to fill up those empty pockets again, and feel better.

So, I've decided to finally do it, and have it booked for Oct 13. Really excited and nervous. I keep going back and forth with the size that I want, but can't decide. I am slightly asymmetrical, so different sizes for each side. I'm going with Cohesive Gel Round Implants, moderate profile, at L405/R445.

The other size I was thinking about was L360/R405. I felt really good about it, and felt this was "me". I thought I made a decision on this, until I started seeing women with larger breasts, and how good it looked. I was trying to remember when I was breast feeding and how big they were, and I really want to go bigger.

So I think, after 3 consultations, and 30 sleepless nights, I can say I am comfortable with L405/R445. Can't wait for the big day!!!!!

Glad you were able to determine your implant size. Sometimes that is the hardest part! Have you shared your upcoming procedure with any friends or family? Feel free to post any wish boob pictures!

Sizer Pics

I've added some of the sizer pics I have. I think this fits my body frame well, and would look natural...but...I'm worried I chose to big. But then the other sizer I was thinking was too small (50cc difference). I know I made the right decision but I second guess a lot...probably my nerves....7 days left....

I think you will be very happy with that size! I am 5'6" 143lbs and I went with 500cc mentor moderate profile and I was nervous that I went too big! But now looking at them I ask my husband if they are even big because I've gotten so used to them!! You will love them! Can't wait to see your results.
October 11, 2015
Thanks for that! I needed to hear that. BTW you are looking awesome!!! I noticed you didn't tell your family, and it was a big part of your nerves. Me too....I finally decided to tell my mom today...surprisingly she wasn't judgemental! My nerves calmed down a bit

Good for you. Telling family was just the one thing I did not need before my surgery, my mother and father still think I was stupid for doing it but they won't say anything now and pretty don't seem to be the least bit interested!

I thought I was going to get a problem from my mom, but it surprisingly went more. She's usually critical on everything I do.

I say go with the bigger one.. Everyone says if you are deciding between two sizes go with the bigger. They won't look as big when they are in. Im also having my surgery with Dr Litsa in December so I'll be following you! Good luck, I'm sure you'll love them, he's an excellent PS.

He is really good, and I really liked him from the get-go. His coordinator is really great too! Thanks for the encouragement! I'll keep my profile up to date. 2 more sleeps!!!!

Yes, he is great, I'm happy I'm going with him and his team. You will be well taken care of and I'm sure you'll love your results!! My coordinator has been Brittany and she's been awesome. Rosie will be contacting me one month before my surgery.. The waiting is absolutely killing me!! May I ask what type of incision/where the incision will be? Two sleeps will fly by!! :)
October 11, 2015
I'm getting transaxillary incision. I don't have enough of a fold for under breast. Hopefully I'll be able to use my arms within a week. Rosie is great, very patient with me!

I'm also getting transaxillary incision. It's hard to find others here so I'm glad I found you! Lol!! Same with me, not much of a fold so the incision wouldn't be hidden if he went under fold. I have small aereola so that wasn't a good option either. He told me once the scars are fully healed they will just look like another wrinkle under your arm.. He is very concerned with scars and looking natural and his results are amazing. I love the idea of not having any scars on my breasts. Please let me know how it goes with the bottle of soap they give for the pre op shower! :) I'm hoping it's not too drying on my skin.
October 12, 2015
no kidding...I'm worried about that too. I get really itchy scalp if I don't have proper shampoo and conditioner....so I'm sure I'll be scratching like crazy!! lol
it's funny, I see so many reviews advising on ice, cream, etc. and when I asked at Dr Lista's office...no bra, no ice, no nipple covers, no anything on the breasts!! It makes complete sense...the skin is stretching so anything on there would really irritate and possibly do some damage.

I have a wedding on the 24th to go to, and I have no idea what to wear - I have to keep the band on my since it's still within the 2-4 week post op period...

I was told that all women will HATE the band! BUT, If it gives me my results than I plan to follow Dr. Litsa's instructions exactly and I'll deal with it! I'm sure you'll find a nice fall dress that covers the band. one more day!! :)

I think you will look great with the bigger size. They are a tad smaller once they are in. Good luck

Good luck tomorrow...you'll do great! It's nice that your mom knows now too. I agree with the community...the larger size will be fine in time as you lose a bit of implant once they're in you. Update us when you're feeling up to it!
