Well after 6 months of reading the posts on this...

Well after 6 months of reading the posts on this website and scouring the internet I have decided to start my official review post. A little about me, I'm 5'8", 130lbs with body measurements of 37-25-32. What used to be a sexy hourglass shape with my natural boobies has no become an unflattering pear shape. The closer I get to my 30th birthday, the more obsessed I am with working out and I absolutely LOVE the rest of my body now....but the chest area is lacking after all my toning and work outs.

Now to the good stuff. I decided on a BA last December and am making myself wait one year (okay so I cheated and moved it up a couple months) with a surgery date of October 15th. This way I am 100% sure about going through with the surgery, my sizes and my surgeon. No last minute regrets for this chica. The plan right now is ~450 left and ~475 right, gummy bear silicone, inframammary incision, subglandular. I was deadest on submuscular with the first surgeon I went to, but I felt like just another patient on an assembly line there.

When I went to my second appointment I was really impressed with the level of patient care! The doctor came in and took tons of chest measurements (which the first doctor didn’t even do) then the nurse spent a good 3 hours with me just playing with sizers. She seemed to be having as much fun as I was! Both of them agreed that since I had so much extra breast tissue, subglandular would look the most natural and prevent me from getting something called the “double bubble”. Anyone familiar with this??? I’m nervous about this type of placement but a little excited to possibly have a faster and less painful recovery time.

So now I’m playing the waiting game. I’m 4 months from my surgery date as of yesterday and it feels like an eternity. I have a nice long list of everything I’ll need and I’m spending my days browsing the internet for more information. I’m worried that I won’t be able to take enough time off work to heal since right now I have a semi-physical job. I’m taking a week and a half off but I can take 2 weeks, the problem is that will raise suspicion. Oh, and I’m not telling a soul about my new boobies. My boyfriend and one other friend who just had hers done are the only people who know.

My family and friends are super conservative and when I tried to ease into the conversation with them about it last year they all freaked out. So I’ve spent the last year wearing gradually more and more padded bras. I’m up to two bras plus padding stuffers now. Every. Single. Day. I hate it so much. But they all knew me when I had natural perky-big boobs and they think I still have them. Things would be so much easier if I didn’t have to hide the new girls but at least the bf is on board. He says he loves me the way I am (I think because he knows he has to say that haha) but that he is supportive no matter what. Can’t wait to finally fill out my clothes and bikinis again.

I have an appointment this Friday to make sure I’m still in love with the size I picked and to ask a million other questions. I’ll try to post some before pics tonight, maybe do a few before/after with a couple bikini tops. Any surgery sisters out there? The next four months can’t go quickly enough!

After loosing over 150 lbs (and I'm sure not getting any younger) I decided to have a tummy tuck. Like you, I have done extensive research on procedures, surgeons, time down, etc. I knew for my piece of mind I had to meet with more than one surgeon. I definitely saved the best for last! I met with Dr. Finkle and his office staff on June 1st and they also spent more than 3 hours with me. I was very impressed! They were thorough in their exam, documentation, explanations, and answers to my questions. I never felt rushed or pushed into a decision, however I was ready to schedule my appointment that day. I have a little bit of a wait, but I know it will be worth it...September 24th is my day! Congratulations on your decision :-) I feel like we will both be grateful we choose Dr. Finkle!

Congrats on the tummy tuck! If I ever have kids that is on my possible "to do" list. Our surgeries are only 3 weeks apart :-)

I was reading your stuff and before i read who your doc was, i was thinking, wow that sounds like my consultation at Dr Finkles office. It was fun, they spent so much time with me informing me of lots of information and trying on tons of sizes. I went back a second time to try on sizers bc I am so indecisive! Good luck to you!! I think the 500/550 HP will look great on you!
June 26, 2015
Thanks!! I'm so glad I chose them. They've been so patient with all of my questions and time spent trying on sizers. Do you have a surgery date yet?
June 26, 2015
Same here, I saw another doc who hardly wanted to do 400cc on me, and that was even a push (I want 600cc or 650cc, still deciding). They were just so friendly and yes, very patient! Yes, July 9th! I am SOOO ready!!

Before and Wish Boobie Pics

Finally took some before pics this morning with what used to be one of my favorite bikinis. You can really tell that my left and right are not the same size. I'm totally in love with Kate Upton's look....hers are full and fit her frame without being fake looking.

I still can't decide between moderate plus or high profile. I definitely want that perky look with and without a bra, but I don't want to look like I'm smuggling cantaloupes.

2nd Appointment with Dr. Finkle....now I'm getting 500/550cc's and high profile!

wantmyboobiesback73
Had my second appointment a few days ago and made some changes to my plan….. I’m going to go with 500cc’s in the left and 550cc’s in the right and switched to high profile instead of mod plus. I’m still sticking with overs and I’m more convinced than ever that they’re right for me. Hope I don’t end up increasing my cc’s every time I have an appointment.

3 and 1/2 months to go!!!

-The pics are with the sizers; I’m hoping for a really natural look with my curvy shape but still have some great cleavage when I want to play the girls up. Think I’ll make some rice sizers to wear around at home/work.

Hi there we are a similar size so I thought I'd say hi. I have just had my first appointment with my surgeon and he agreed on 450cc range. I have made rice sizers at home and took them in but haven't tried any on with him so will have to see what they look like. Do the 500/ 550cc seem much bigger to you? I'm worried I will disappointed if they turn out too small as I'm quite tall. X

The 500/550 felt much bigger than the 450's I initially decided on. I don't want to regret not going big enough and on my frame the 450 just didn't "wow" me, like you said they seemed too small. I'm actually debating about going up another 50cc's to 550/600 but that might be a little too big. How did you like wearing the rice sizers?? Are you wearing them every day?

Hi, I loved wearing the rice sizers didn't want to take them out of my bra I would them for an evening but haven't worn them out. I haven't told many people I'm having it done and don't want to arrouse suspicion until after! I As I'm sure some people will try to talk me out of it. I think I will check out the 500/550cc sizers at my next appointment but I suppose it will be up to my surgeon as to whether they will fit! Do you wear your sizers out then? X
June 26, 2015
I just made them last night and wore them around the house for a bit. They felt so weird and hung really low. I'm going to try to pick up a cheap sports bra so I can wear them out of the house. I'm not telling anyone about my BA either...so I've been wearing extra padded bras lately. Once I get closer to my date I'll try to wear the sizers to work, etc but they're so dang awkward feeling! I really like the 500-550 but I have to keep reminding myself that I'm getting HP so they won't sit so long like the rice does. Are you doing HP Uhp or mod +?
June 26, 2015
Sit so low as the rice**

That's a good idea might try to wear them out although a lot of my clothes are quite fitted people will probably notice! I still don't know what to get I'm swaying towards moderate plus/ high but I really don't know I keep looking at people reviews and like a look of outcomes from each how do you decide which ones! I'm so indecisive in general hate making decisions and this one is important as I will have to live with it what if I make the wrong one? X
