My surgery is scheduled for 11/13/14. I am so excited and nervous. I have a 4 year old and a 2 year old, and am thankful to have the help and support of my mom, husband, and mother in law. I am getting a TT, lipo, and BA. 350cc on right, 325 on left, silicone under the muscle. Support is welcome! :)

Trouble deciding on size
PghmomOctober 25, 2014
I'm starting to get really nervous about recovery. Wondering how my kids are going to deal with it. Wondering how I'll deal with not being able to be myself and do everything I usually do for them. I'm lucky to have such great support. I'm also so confused about size. My husband thinks I should go with 400cc's, my Dr. is trying to convince me to go small. I don't want gigantic breasts because I don't want it to be obvious that I had this done. I just want them to be full and natural looking. I'm leaning towards 375 in the right breast and 350 in the left. I just want to get it right and love my results.

Think I said it before, but 450cc and 475cc would probably be a better fit..those "sizers" always seem to look bigger than the actual implant put under muscle...find a body pic that looks like you and ck out what size under muscle they used and if they are happy with the end results. Ck PS redo policy to see how much change if you are not happy with results,

Dr. Wooden did my breast aug with left in April and she suggested 450 CCs to take my droopy B cup to a perky DD'S. I am a larger framed athletic built women and they are perfect...they don't look fake big but proportionate for my body style...I am 6 months out and my true size now is a 34 DDD...but I usually can only find 36 DD.
I am so happy with my results...the staff at her office has been wonderful...any time I had a question or concern they always made time to either get me in or call me back. Good luck!!!

Thanks for the comment. Happy to hear you have been satisfied with your experience there. Hopefully I'll be saying that a few months from now :)

agree with your husband!! I am 115 and 5.2 and 355 CC looks just right in my body size. Don't be scare about size. 400 it not huge differences. Go for

Very anxious! 15 days pre op.

Went to my pre op visit yesterday and made a decision on implant size. I am going with Sientra silicone gel textured implants. Round, moderate profile, both 385cc's. We also decided that since I have little to no muscle separation that I will not be getting muscle plication (muscle tightening). If it's not broke, don't fix it! This should shorten my recovery time. I went to the pharmacy today to buy a list of supplies I will need during recovery and all this is making it very real for me. I'm so nervous about the pain! They also told me that since my surgery will be about 6 hours, I will have a breathing tube in place. Crazy! Hoping this all goes smoothly!

How did tmshe determine the degree of your muscle seperation? When I've done the "finger test" laying down doing crunches, I can for three fingers in between the two muscle bands. I'm curious if you did that test yourself?
October 29, 2014
Yes, when I do this test myself I can only fit one fingertip in the widest part.

Okay, so it's reasonable for me to expect that when I do go for a consult, muscle repair is Probly in my future. :-( oh well, I kind if suspected that. Thanks for the info though! So excited for you, you're so close now!
October 30, 2014
Thanks! I'm still nervous even though my recovery will be less without the muscle repair. What I read is that if you can fit two fingers or 1 1/2 cm in the gap then you have diastasis recti (muscle separation) which will need to be repaired for optimal results. Good luck to you!
