Hey everyone! I went on my first consultation and am more confused than I had expected. I went in thinking I would be getting 300ccs, moderate plus profile-saline, but apparently the dr had a different idea in mind. Since my son, it appears I have a little big of a sag to my breast and they droop. :( Horrible way of breaking the news. Harsh reality I guess. He told me that he would do no less then 350ccs but would recommend 400 or more. I'm looking for a C not a double d or even a d. I'd like them to be proportionate to my body. I gave my deposit yesterday and did the bold work today. In the meantime, I'm left with 3 take home implants - 375, 400 and 425. I am going for my pre-op on the 14th and have to make my decision then. I have posted my desires and current. Any comments would be appreciated.

Hi. Please take a look at my profile. I wanted 350cc to begin with and I thank god that I listened to my surgeon. I am 5'4 but have a wide shoulder area. My surgeon ended up giving me 450cc HP smooth Mentor under the muscle. I am so happy with the results, and honestly, would have been happy a tad bigger. I got into a 36D comfortably, but they don't look that big at all. Consider the biggest size. You won't be disappointed. Good luck :)

sourapple, go with the bigger size. From your pics, that size looks good on your frame, you would carry them naturally. I don't know if I told you but my PS told me at my first consult he wanted to do 425-450 HP. I wanted 350 Mod. My surgery is today and I'm doing exactly what he said the first day. After all my research, he was right. They are the pros and if he thinks that would work best for you, trust him. Also, put in both sizers and walk around with them for a while. Remember this though, the sizers will not feel as secure as your implants will and you will lose 25-50 cc's going under the muscle. I tried on the 400 to see what 425 would look like.

So maybe the 400 then?

I would honestly go 450cc. I think 400 just might not quite be there. You can easily carry 450-500cc.

I wouldn't go any smaller than 425 if I were you. I think you can easily go 450 but if you are concerned about getting too big I would not go over 450.

So I'm 4 days away from pre-op and am having issues trying to figure out the side I'm going with. I tried to make rice sizers today. I made a 350 and one that was 400. I'll post photos of both. I feel like the more I try sizers on, the worse I feel. What's the deal?? Help ladies. You have more experience than I do.

Hey ladies. So today was my pre op. What a day it's been. I spent my day sitting in front of my computer at work fantasizing about how the conversation would go with the plastic surgeon. The minute the clock struck 4, I ran out of the building. Sonic the hedgehog couldn't even catch me if he tried. First on my agenda, hit the bank. I find parking directly in front which is nearly impossible on these busy streets. I hurried on in and filled out the necessary withdrawal slip - 7500, Jesus. I've never seen so many hundreds. I couldn't help but tell the teller what I was doing with the money. "I'm getting boobsss" I blurted out in glee. She laughed and replied in a bubbly voice, "yay! I want to get my done". Lol. We shared a smile and small talk about what other than boobies. Lol.

Finally it was time, I headed over to the doctor to hand over the money and sign my life away for boobs. We talked everything over as I handed him over photos of all these boobies I found online. He told me I had over supermodel boobs but I myself don't have the same structure and that I need to be realistic about the end result. He then compared me to some guy he had in his office recently that showed him a photo of Brad Pitt and said, "I want to look like this"! Lol. I totally get it. My breasts are a little droopy and have lost some elasticity bc of the pregnancy. I told him that the photos I've been showing him are not only bc I like the shape but also bc I love the size. I want that size. So, all in all, after taking photos, we decided on a 375 implant saline which he can increase to 400 max if need be.

I am so excited. I got my prescription and antibiotic filled already. I also purchased a neck pillow, stool softener, going to make a soup the night before so I can eat that the entire time since it's great for digestion and getting the ice packs and vitamins tomorrow.

2 weeks and 2 days till the surgery. So happy!

Hi! I think you are selecting a good size. Would a small lift along w the implant make sense? Have you discussed that with your ps? I don't think you should have to go bigger just because you have sagging. Especially since your baby is only 13 months and your body is probably still making its way back to pre-preg condition. You might be a little closer to that "supermodel" look in a few months. Best of luck!! :)

Saw your question to the surgeons w the pic. I do not think you need a lift. You will look great! :)
