Hi There... I'm an active 44yr old, 5'8", 135lbs , 2 breastfed kids
I'm considering Cohesive Gel Silicone round 325cc, under muscle, moderate plus. I'm approximately 7 weeks pre and I still have days when I think ... "should I really do this?!!!". I was so excited about it all until I actually booked the date and it really sunk in. Each day I flip back and forth honestly.
I've always been small and felt self conscious but came to terms with my size at some point. For the better part of my life I was a 34b. But as I became more and more active and started weight training consistently a couple of years ago I really lost volume. I started to avoid looking at myself in the mirror. I also hated how 'lacking' my chest looked in bathing suits... which I spend a lot of time in. So I started to inquire and do some real research and found this site, which has been truly helpful. I'm not interested in going too big... but concerned about going too small also. Looking for a good c cup. I started out with 250cc initially but after a couple sizing consults I've landed on 325cc. I'm hoping this gives me enough :)
I met with my surgeon, Dr. F. Lista, and he told me that due to the small size of my areola and lack of a breast fold my only incision option is through the underarm. I was pleasantly surprised with this incision site as it is descreet but I can't say that I've seen even one person on here who has the same. Anyone out there I missed?? Would love to hear about your recovery time and challenges if any.

Hey! I had mine with Dr Lista, and same as you, my incision site is through armpit. my experience is all posted on my review, feel free to check it out and ask me any questions. Good luck with your upcoming surgery, you did your research and picked an amazing surgeon!! :)

Wow you look fantastic! So so natural! You make me want to consider going larger. How do you feel about your size? They look perfect. What were you ailing for? I still have to read your profile ... I just looked at all your pics! :)

I'm loving my size, I got mod plus cohesive gel under muscle 400 cc in both. I'm now a D cup ( victoria secret sizing I wear DD because their sizing is weird) No issues with workouts, running, discomfort etc.. Whatever you decide, you'll love them :)

27 days pre
Surgery date moved up!
Received a call today from my PS and they had a cancellation so I'm officially booked for December 12th! So excited! I have another sizing appointment booked for this Friday also so I can decide on the final size. As I read through the reviews I find myself considering bigger sizes. My husband is sooooo worried I'll go to big so he is definitely realing me in to some degree, but ultimately it's me who has to live with them. I don't want to regret not going big enough. I'm thinking about 325-350cc... I know I'll lose some going under the muscle so keeping that in mind.

I was the same way, I went back for a couple sizing appointments before deciding.. it's the hardest part!! bring a fitted t shirt, and your fav top to try with the sizers.. we have similar stats, you are a bit taller than me so if you are looking for that wish pic, maybe try on the 375-400cc. and work your way down, they do feel huge when trying them on but they really arent once they are in and settle.. I was deciding between 375-400cc, I got 400 moderate plus and I'm very happy with them. Good luck!!!!

Thanks Mumster :) for all the advice. Did you bring wish pics with you to Dr. L?
November 18, 2016
No, I didn't bring pics but basically told him what I was looking for. If you have pics then you can bring them!! I trusted his expertise and the coordinators are also quite good at helping you decide. He gave me a range of a few sizes to try on, I didn't go with my max size but I also didn't go with the smallest as I didn't want the boob greed later on and regret not going big enough.. I was wearing the most padded bras before my BA so that I could get used to being bigger and then when you get them, your husband and other people won't think theres a big change and won't look too big.. If you like the look of the 325 then go with the 350 as you're right, you will loose a little going under the muscle.. I personally loved the 375 and went 400 and love them :)

Thanks again for your comments! Following my appointment I find myself going back and forth on 325-350cc. The awesome consultant , who is augmented also, was saying that if you feel comfortable at 325cc then go with it and if want that little bit more later you can always get it from a bra. But she also said Dr. Lista recommends going a size up to be safe so....different takes. See my gut says go with 350, but my shyer, cautious side says 325cc. Idk! She will be ordering 300, 325 and 350cc for the day of surgery.
Mumster did you buy a special pillow for afterwards?

my advice.. Go with your gut.. Don't worry about what others think or being shy about it..Afterall, you are doing this for YOU! :) on the other hand, I know I was also cautious about going too big.. but with the sizes you selected they both are a conservative size.. The difference between them is very minimal and likely not that noticeable.. selecting the size was the hardest part for me.. I wear lightly lined NON pushup bras for everyday wear, I have to dress conservatively and love that I don't need the padding anymore, I do have a couple of slight push up (no padding) bras for special occasions etc.. I didn't get a special pillow but I made sure I had extra good quality pillows to prop myself up to be comfortable.
How did your appointment go today? How did the drain removal go? Did you get a peak?
