Hello all! Can't wait until I can contribute to...

Hello all! Can't wait until I can contribute to the actual surgery conversation. I have had four consultations for a BA. I have decided on a ps. I have narrowed down my implant size, but still don't know exactly what would be best for me. I am obviously very tall, somewhat athletic and certainly not petite. I have long arms and legs, but substantial butt, hips and thighs.
My body was great pre-baby (one child born 2005) and boobs were awesome when full of milk from nursing. Oh my gosh, I loved them then. If only they could've stayed that size! But as happens, after done with nursing they deflated and lost lots of volume and pertness and shape, especially up top (no upper pole fullness anymore). Now for the past 10 years very padded and uplifting bras have been my constant companion.
Shopping for bathing suits (always have to buy separate top and bottom for different size), dresses, and certain tops is beyond frustrating. There is absolutely no way I could get away with going braless in any context. I got married last year, and I find myself self-conscious with my shirt off during intimacy with my husband. There's just not much there to play with, and it makes me feel less feminine. My wedding dress had to have DOUBLE padding sewed into the chest! At this point it's all smoke and mirrors. My husband is happy with me the way I am, and isn't so much a boob guy anyway, but I am almost 40 and sick of being fed up with this issue.
When I have tried on sizers at consultations, I felt like 450cc was enough. It was an amazing shock to feel that much weight and volume in your boob. One doctor told me I could go up to 550-600cc for my height and chest width. That's another thing- my chest is very wide - he measured it at 16 centimeters (I believe that's the width of one of my boobs now). I don't want an implant too small that it doesn't fill out the width of my chest, but I don't want huge boobs either. I think when I eventually make the appointment for surgery I will give the ps a range within which to use his best judgement. Probably between 450 and 525cc.
I already feel like I stick out and sometimes attract attention for my height and statuesque build (picture Anna Nicole Smith, minus the big boobs). Not looking to appear like a [RS bleep] centerfold, just want to be proportionate and have an easier time with clothing ...and even more confidence naked with my husband. I'm also interested in fitness, so getting those nice proportions is a real goal of mine. You just can't wear 3 inches of padded bra when you're working out!
I'm not the standard BA patient, so if anyone similar has tips to share I'd be happy to hear them.

Reading your profile was like i wrote it,same height same weight, but my breast are heading more south. I'm scheduled for a ba on monday and im very excited. Im thinking ill probably go with a little over 500 cc if my doctor says if suits me. Ill keep checking in on this website its a blessing for us seeking a ba.
September 24, 2016
Well, that's awesome. It is very difficult to find similar build women out there who have done this surgery. When I search for it I end up finding lots of trannys! Lol
I will follow your process so be sure to journal it!! And best wishes!

thank you, im scheduled at monday at 8. im soo excited and nervous at the same time.

Finally got my girls! And i love them already. I got 500cc in the right and 485cc in the left. So far i love them, and its not as painful as i thought. I stopped taking my pain meds today by choice so ill see how today plays out. Good luck to everyone,ill post more pics soon.

I am so happy to read your post! I am 175lbs. and 5'11". Its been diificult to find someone with similar build on here! Do you have your BA scheduled? I am debating between 400-450 cc.my doctor says 375 but admits he's conservative. I dont want to go through all this and not really notice a difference. Im still considering...

I don't have it scheduled yet. I'm in that range too 400-450, especially after trying on sizers with my husband present for his opinion. I asked the doctor "is this really how they'll look when they're in me and under the muscle?" And he said yes. However, another doctor I had a consult with (that I'm not choosing for surgery) said I shouldn't go with less than 500cc. I figure my best route is to give the surgeon free reign within 100-150cc. The 500 or more cc's just felt so big and heavy on me... and wouldn't want gravity to get to them. Do you have yours scheduled? I'm so excited to do it, but my husband wants us to be completely able to cash it out and not dip into our savings at all.

I am scheduled Thanksgiving week. I understand not wanting to finance and you need to be comfortable with how its done so you have no regrets. I will finance mine. I have been waiting a year since my consult and always find something else to pay. I know having 18 months to pay before interest kicks in will be a reason to prioritize the payments. My husband is not giving me much of his opinion on size. He says my breasts are fine now and will be fine however I choose and I need to be the one to decide on this. While its very sweet, it's also frustrating because I really want his opinion. I need to go try sizers on some more and bring him along. I agree about not going too big to avoid gravity effects later. I am happy my breasts arent requiring a lift with the augmentation. I asked my doctors nurse what she thought about which size I should get and she said when women have complained its usually that they wished they would have gone a little bigger. Just another thing to consider I guess. Have you come across any others on here who have done the surgery already and are similar measurements?

I haven't found too many others with similar stats. I made rice sizers at home with panty hose and those were about 475; I liked the size. So hard to know how they'll eventually sit once they drop and fluff. Just going to have to trust the surgeon. And I think I'll be happy with more boobs no matter what! Lol

Hey ladies! I'm 5'11" 160 lbs and just had mine two weeks ago. Went with 445 moderate profile, I love the size so far! Feels very proportionate and not over the top, but definitely a substantial difference :-)

Nice, thanks for the input! I had my preop appt today and I left thinking 450cc was what I wanted. Do you have photos posted? I will check your profile.
