WORTH IT$7,000
I'm so excited, but total nervous about FINALLY having this done! I was a small B cup before having my son 13 years ago. I'm lucky if I'm an A cup now (although Victoria's Secret swears I'm a 32D). I have gone back and forth over the years as to whether or not to have the surgery done. Turning 40 last month helped me to realize that you don't live forever and I've finally decided to pull the trigger. Eager. Super nervous!!!

I am really anxious about how people are going to react. I've been small for so long that anything will be obvious. I am hoping that people will not be rude and come right out and ask or comment, but in this day and age people don't seem to have filters.

Tatas I have to tell you that my fear was totally unwarranted. I went from a 34a to a 34d. They seem huge to me with a bra on. But when I dress they aren't nearly as noticeable unless I want them to be! You can't tell in my work clothes. And wearing t shirts it's not very noticeable either. Probably bc I wore padded bras before and I'm wearing no padding now. Good luck!

What implant type and brand did you get? High profile? Mentor or Natrelle or new Inspires?

Congrats! My big day is at the end of the month. I'm wondering how about the specifics you chose- shape, type, size of implant and what size your breasts are post surgery? I can't make up my mind and we seem to be in a similar before stage. Thanks!

I wanted a full C, hubby wanted a full D (or more). But when you meet with the PS they don't really want to talk in terms of cup size. They focus on the look you want. So for me they had me try on "sizers" in the office (some ps's do 3d imaging) and show him what I liked. Then based upon that we took the cc's of the sizers and added 50 cc's to each of them since I am going under the muscle so that we can still achieve the same look. Going under the muscle compresses the implants so you don't get the same look as when you are wearing sizers in your bra. Even then, they wouldn't really tell me a cup size. They only talk in terms of cc's. He did make it a point that I understand that BWD (breast width diameter) plays a big part in how your implants will look in terms of projection. I am a 13 BWD so my breast "base" is not narrow. So a 475cc/500cc silicone implant under the muscle will very different on me versus someone who has a 11BWD...theirs would project more than mine. Those cc's are spread out further on my body. So my PS backed into the size of my implants based upon the look that I selected wearing the sizers and considering my BWD we had to go with high profile.
The funny thing is I sound like such a little expert telling you, but I'm laughing at myself because I'm still totally anxious and nervous about my choice! It's one thing to see the sizers in a sports bra at the ps office...it's a completely different story to see them bulging out of my skin!
Ask lots of questions and then trust the decision you and your PS make!

I'm lopsided!
I didn't realize how lopsided my breast are until taking my before photos to post. And my nipples seem really far off to the sides. I'm concerned that implants are going to make my nipples aim the wrong direction. Anyone have this concern?

I was offset too and different sizes. Doc put in different sizes and different profile. He said he may not be able to fully correct the asymmetry but said it will greatly improve. So far so good for me. I'm a bit offset still but then again have a lot of dropping and softening to do so we shall see how it ends up. But I love my volume so far. Best of luck!

Thank you for the feedback. I am meeting with the doc this morning to select sizes so hopefully that will reduce some of my anxiety. Good luck!

I also had no idea I was asymmetrical until my pre op when my doctor told the nurse "her left is larger than her right". I only saw it when I took photos also! Strange that I went 31 years never realizing that. :) all fixed now though!

Did they put more cc's in one versus the other? I got 475 in left and 500 in right. So far it appears to have been the right choice.
