I had my consult 4/10, paid my deposit yesterday and scheduled my BA for 8/5. My pre-op date is 7/20. The PS said I had great elasticity, symmetry, and breast tissue, so round or shaped implants would achieve my desired look. He suggested inframammary incision w/ a sub muscular placement, with either Sientra textured shaped or Allergan smooth round silicon implants. I haven't decided on size but am considering 310 or 330cc. I have no clue of which shape to choose at the moment but hope the Vectra imaging at my pre-op will make up my mind. Anyone have any feedback for shape or size?

According to Victoria's Secret I am currently a 32C, but I am actually a 32B. I've always considered BA, but am finally going through with it as I have noticed a loss in volume an size since I've began weight training in the gym (I've witnessed my mom go from a C to A cup as a result of vigorous exercise over the past year). I'm happy with my breast shape but have always wanted them to be fuller. I'm hoping to finally have breasts proportionate to my frame (currently 32,25,38). I'm really excited and can't wait, and am glad to have the support of my mother and close friends throughout this exp.

I've learned so much from the testimonies on this site, and even found my surgeon on this site as well, so I hope others considering BA will find my experience and pictures helpful.

Also I was told to bring a lightly lined bra (no padding or pushup) in my ideal size to my pre-op, but don't know how that translates from cc's. Can anyone with implants in 300-350cc range offer any suggestions?

*update: was recently measured at a few other stores and am indeed a 32C.

I was a 32B... Barely. Got HP 350/375cc and am now anywhere from 32DD-34DD. I don't know your body size. But mine are a great fit for me. I'm 5'3" 118lbs. It's surprising how well you can hide them in clothes. Even my husband & mom say it looks like I was born with them. But naked they are big... In a good way. ;) This will be my first summer since having them. Surgery was January. So they may be more noticeable in a bathing suit & tank. Bringing an ideal bra is a good idea. I would also suggest to look at review of women that have a similar body size as you. 350cc on a 5 foot woman is drastically different from a 5 foot 8 woman. Good luck!

Oh also look at woman with the same body size AND same preop size!

Thank! You look amazing btw! You're going to absolutely kill it in a bikini. I read your review & we pretty much have the same workout regimen (similar preop body size too) and the one thing i'm worried about it not being able to workout for so long. I was wondering how difficult it was, if at all, to get your gains back post-op (with big boobs)?
April 29, 2015
It wasn't as bad as I thought. I took 2 full weeks off. Since raising your heart rate increases blood flow I didn't want it to cause any internal bleeding. Then I started back doing only lower body without weights for 2 weeks. It was crazy how sore it made me! lol then I just started back gradually adding more weight. It was a little frustrating just figuring out what I could & couldn't do. I still only do a few light weight arm activities, don't do back exercises that involve pulling anything overhead & will probably never do chest. It's not so much that it hurts it just feels weird. I can feel my implant being pushed out. And it worries me that it will mess up the pocket. I also don't do planks, but hopefully will eventually. I did loose a lot of booty & legs gains at first but I also barely ate. The pain meds really took away my appetite. But within a couple weeks of eating better & getting back in the gym I am "bigger" than I was before. The time off does seem like an eternity. But it will be completely worth it!

good to know. hmm I wish there were exercise/weight training videos just for women with BA to take away the guesswork, and just make the transition back easier/safer. I totally hate planks, so looking forward to the temporary excuse to avoid them ;]

I have 310cc under the muscle! I'm really happy. You can check out my profile for pictures and a video

I had my BA just over a month ago and had 345cc under the muscle and went from a 36A to 34DD. There perfect for my frame and look more in proportion. Also I can still hide them if I wanted to! I had Round Natrelle textured silicone soft gel implants. Check out my page for my before and after photos. I had slight asymmetry originally as well.

After speaking with Julie, Dr. Savalia's patient consultant I was told to find my ideal bra. She clarified the cc's we used at the consult were 304 and 335cc and that each would look 10% smaller under the muscle than just placed in the bra (makes sense). After a struggle at the store to translate cc's into a cup size I settled on a 32DD as 32D provided very little room for added volume. The bra size was daunting because It sounds so large but agter trying with my rice Sizers I'm happy and even more excited for my BA. Here are pics wearing the bra with my rice approx. 335cc rice sizers.

I think you will look great as a 32d or 32dd. It will give you an hour glass shape.

Did you get your #2 wish picture? It's perfect

I haven't had my procedure yet, but #2 is amazing and my ultimate goal. Both wish pics are patients of my PS, so I'm excited to see my results.

I am 5'1 110lb. Got 385cc sientra smooth round high profile. My band size is 34. I am 5 weeks post op. I'm a DD in just about every bra I have tried on. Nothing fits. The boobs are massive. I only am telling you because you and I are similar in stature. My breasts were about 34 B to start. I am not super bummed out. Just contemplating the size. I have read that it is common for women to think that the breast implants are too big and then be happy in 3-4 months. So stay tuned! Oh, I also have a 29 waist and 38 hips. Great luck to you and I hope you are happy with whatever you end up getting :)

Thanks so much for the input. I checked out your profile and you're right we have very similar frames. I think your results (for both procedures) look great and proportionate to your body but I know what you mean about the size being a bit overwhelming. I wish it was a little easier to translate cc's in cup sizes but then again all boobs are different. Going too big is what I've been worried about, so I hope everything turns out well.

Agree :)

If you can go a little higher do so please because you'll lose a few it will look smaller once placed under the muscle. Surgeons say it all the time biggest redo is due to size so go for it girl! Good luck:)

I've noticed that in a lot of reviews! thanks for the heads up. The PC at my dr.'s office is slowly but surely talking me into going bigger, and I'm slowly but surely agreeing with her. :]
