I have always felt disproportionate. I have hips and butt but not much on top. I wasn't going to write anything but there isn't much out there for tall ladies are not super thin. Doc recommends 450-500cc. I hope I get the results I am looking for... In my pre-op appointment I decided on 500cc moderate plus silicone implants. I definitely want to appear proportionate but I lead an active lifestyle and don't want to be so huge that I can't continue to exercise or do my job as a massage therapist. I believe the running theme in all the reviews I have read is flip flopping between feeling their choice is too big or too small. I am still flip-flopping myself. Its a huge investment financially and I don't want to be disappointed.

Oops posted too soon, sorry! Dr. Restifo is knowledgeable and talented, a true artist. I just had a MMO with him 6 weeks ago. My experience was seamless. I was so impressed with the level of care post op. He and his staff are very attentive and respond immediately! Good luck with your upcoming procedure. Btw, I left a lot of the decision making to him and I couldn't be happier. So excited for you!!!

Thanks so much for your comment. I appreciate hearing from someone that has had surgery done by him. I have scoured this site looking for posts from his patience and haven't found many. But I've seen his suture work and the lack of scarring is amazing.

I am posting a few before pictures in a bralette. It's not fun taking pictures and posting them for people to see. The thought of not exercising for a few weeks is not one I like right now. I hope I don't gain too much weight while I'm out of commission. I know the next 11 days are going to fly by. I am so busy next week at work and with my kids that I will barely have time to sleep let alone dwell on my upcoming surgery. I am definitely feeling better about my decision to go with a 500cc mod + implant. Even though I'm tall I think it will give me a natural full look. I'm not sure I would be happy being too busty with my lifestyle. It is hard not to get boob greed but in the end I would rather want a little bigger than feel like what the heck did I do to myself. I'm sure I'll have to do at least 1 exchange by the time I'm 50 and if I want to be bigger at 50 then I can go bigger.

I wish I had gone high profile and like 650cc. I am 5'10 145lb. I was a 34a and now still am buying padded bras to get the look I wanted. I have nice side boob with mod but NO projection. I have 495 mod saline.

My surgery was yesterday at 11 am by the time I got into the OR. I was a bundle of nerves but the staff at surgery center of Fairfield were all pleasant and smiling. Dr restifocame inand marked me up and we made the decision to up the size to 525cc moderate plus.
I was super groggy for the first 2 hours post surgery but headed home with my husband by 2:45pm. I am trussed up like a sausage in a super tight bandage. I have been on top of my pain meds and Valium and in generally feel the occational muscle spasms and discomfort but no God aweful pain. The pain intensifies when I am trying to get up out of my recliner chair. I definitely feel like a turtle and need my husband to give me a push mid back to get me up the last bit. I have a had some nausea but mostly when I'm walking around. That's when I feel the most pain and ache across my chest.
It's been really nice to fade in and out of sleep throughout the day. I'm hoping tomorrow doesn't bring any more pain or craziness to deal with.
