Hi all! Well, I turned 30 this summer and with that I've been thinking a lot about my 20's and how I spent them. For perspective my stats are 5' 6.5", 110lbs, slim athletic build. My VS bra size is 32C, but I don't fill out the top portion, I just have very "round" boobs so a B-cup cuts into the side.

I've always hoped that one day I would magically fill out. All of the women in my family have HUGE boobies! I guess it's just not in the cards for me. I was in the military for 10 years so a BA was never really an option for me, nor a thought.. But now that I'm in the "civilian" world and have the time to participate in normal every activities I have become increasingly aware that I have no cleavage.

I've never been able to wear triangle top bikini's because the girls just don't stick out far enough, so I pretty much just wear the bandeau style that ultimately leaves me feeling like a little boy.. I'm going for my first consultation next friday 9/13/13 to see what my options are. I'm going for a natural looking breast, and this PA has done some girls around the area that I know and their BA look amazing!

I've been doing my research and reading a ton of RealSelf stories with women who share similar stats as me. So far I've come to the conclusion that although I'd prefer silicone unders, I can't afford to have an MRI every year, so with that I'll probably get saline. Also I'm thinking 325-350cc Mod+ profile. I'd like to still have a natural slope. What do you gals think? Any tips or advice about profile? I have a very narrow frame, so anything more than mod+ I think would just look silly on me.

Anyway- thanks for reading, I'll post a pic with updates after my consultation.

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! Here are some important questions to ask your PS during your consult. Also, you may want to collect some wish photos to share with your PS to make sure you're both on the same page about your desired results. You can post the photos here too! Sounds like you're in tune with your build and will choose a size that fits your body frame well. Let us know how the consult goes!

Thanks Beth, the consult was an eye opener. I made my appt for Oct 10th. Now I just have to answer the big question, silicone or saline!? UGH!

I would look to your surgeon for suggestions on profile & sizing. Make sure you find a surgeon who has the same aesthetic that you are going for. If your surgeons after photos are blatantly fake augmented breasts I would steer clear. Look for after photos showing a natural sloped breast shape. I also had the same concern and thoughts as you. I am scheduled for the first week in April. I continue to go back and forth with my surgeon to make sure we have the same idea and final look. She suggested 250 to 300cc. I am also an athletic build and at VS a 32/34C where I don't fill out the top of the bra. Thank you for sharing your journey.

I've literally been reading/searching boobs for weeks! Went in to try on sizers today. At first I was completely set on saline implants because of the safety factor, but after listening to what the PS had to say about silicone I'm leaning more towards those now. The thing that is holding me back the most from going silicone is all of the horror stories I've read about them rupturing and people getting sick. Is this for real? I know the FDA says they are clear for use... but that's not reassuring enough for my paranoia...*sigh*

As far as sizing went. Wow, was I in for a shock. I guess I never realized how narrow I really am until I put 325cc in a sports bra. Alright RealSelfers HOW did you finally make a decision?! I liked the look of 325, but it just seemed HUGE! 300 looked a little more realistic, but the ps and nurse both said if I was in between sizes to go bigger. We are for sure going under the muscle so I'll loose a little, and the size looks a little crazy with the sports bra/insert comb. Thoughts?

Oh and one more thing. They only use Natrelle.. and as far as profiles with saline they only had moderate and hp to try on.. I want to look natural.. Does anyone here have HP about my size and have any complaints? do they sit up too high or look funny??

I think you'll be happy with either implant! I was afraid to get silicone as well because off the same reasons you have! But knowing that the gels they have now are safer than the past choice has made my decision easier!
