Like most of you ladies on here I've always dreamed of having full sexy breast. Most of my friends in High School developed well while I was always praying for my boobs to come, like Judy Blume! I met my husband in High School and we have been together for almost 11 years. We had our first daughter when I was 22 and soon after had our second daughter. I became very athletic after our second daughter was born, working out and lifting weights and never felt better! I was saving up my money to finally get my BA! I have a very close friend who's aunt works at Plastic and Hand in Portland so I know their practice is top notch and had been speaking with her about who she recommended. Shortly after I found out I was pregnant with my son.... talk about a surprise! He is the most wonderful baby and such a blessing. But now that he is 9 months old and almost walking I can meet with my PA and set up a time to have my BA done.
I have been doing tons and tons of research and stumbled upon this site! It's amazing and educational to see all of your journeys. I cannot wait to be on the other side a few months from now recovering and enjoying my new boobs!
I'm very small chested and always have been, barley fitting into a 32A, FORGET about bathing suits. I'm thankful that bandeaus are fashionable because it's the only thing that looks halfway decent on me. I was able to successfully breastfeed all of my children, my son stopped nursing back in August. Every time I nurse my chest fills out to a full C. And every time I stop and my milk runs out I am left with saggy skin and nipples. I am thinking at this point in the game I want teardrop shaped silicone implants. I'd like to be a full C maybe a small D. I don't want to wake up and think I should have gone bigger or that I went too big and have them look really fake. BUT I have seen so many women get round HP silicone 375cc-450cc and they look beautiful and natural....
My first consultation is on FRIDAY and I am so excited I can barley sleep at night. I'll keep ya'll posted!!

I just read your story and it is a lot like mine except I only have one child. You have my same pre op look as well. Congrats on your 3 babies and breastfeeding. I know that's not easy! I'm so excited to see your journey and see it as well. I am choosing gummy bear round implants 350 to 400 hp as well, I think. Lol.

Consultation!

Went yesterday for my first consultation with Dr Vaughan at Plastic and Hand. He was wonderful and made me feel very comfortable! After measuring me he suggested I go with 304cc Moderate Profile, I was slightly devastated... I have been dreaming of 350-400cc implants for months now! We talked a little bit longer and I tried on 339cc Moderate Profiles and they were pretty good. I stressed to him again that my biggest fear is having them be too small. He said he could do 350cc high profile but because of my frame he didn't think he would go any bigger. After he left I'm not gonna lie I totally threw the 410cc in the sizing bra and they did look a little crazy ???? but I am happy with our decision and I totally gave my deposit and booked my date! January 25th!!! 39 days ladies!! I'm so fricken excited! Did anyone else have expectations of having more bigger implants and it didn't happen? Any words of advice?! ????

I will be totally honest and say that I am not sure you'll get the look you want with that size implant.
You are taller than me (I'm 5'4", 110lbs.) and I have a 375 & 400cc mod plus and they are not big at all on me. Some surgeons are pretty conservative which is good on one hand, but on the other, you might not be satisfied. Based on the years of research I did before my BA, I've learned that certain heights/weights/bandwidths can handle a nice amount of cc's and still look classy. I am just giving you the heads up to keep doing your due diligence and see if maybe your surgeon will allow for more.
The first surgeon I went to..an excellent one, btw: ), would not go bigger than 350cc on me. If I decided on that, I can confidently say I'd be regretful. Then I went to my doctor and he said I could easily carry up to 425cc, if not more!
I was shocked..happily shocked though because he is one of the best docs out there. I trusted him...and he turned out to be spot on.
You still have time- make SURE you feel secure in your decision! Sizers are not often accurate..once implants are inside you, they seem
smaller than what the sizers would have indicated. For that reason of unpredictability, my doctor doesn't use them.
I hope I didn't throw you for too big of a loop! I just KNOW you need more cc's to reach your goal look. This is a HUGE decision and purchase..you absoutely need to be fully satisfied at your outcome.: )

Can I say first and foremost I am completely flattered that you read my review!!!! And you are giving me great advice!!!

hmm... don't really understand why only part of my reply posted... let's try this again!
I feel like I'm driving my husband crazy talking to him about implant size, shape, texture and showing him millions of pictures of boobs. Poor guy... It's soooo nice to get your perspective. I think you are right on so many points... I've been going over and over what I'm going to say to my PS at my next pre op appointment on 1/12. I know he is conservative, he told me so point blank at our first meeting, and I'm sure the fact that my BWD is 11cm has part to do with his suggestion on sizing. BUT on the other hand I have seen tons of girls smaller and shorter than me get over 600cc implants and they look great. I also don't think that my "dream boobs" are too large for my frame either and I'm not asking for 800cc's. (which are beautiful and sometimes I swoon over) so I feel like I should show him my wish pics, which I didn't do before and see if he will consider doing 400cc.... because honestly it's not that much bigger and I'm going to loose some cc's going under the muscle.... but my question is if he says no.... do I say "thank you but I'm going to find someone who will?" like in the same office?!?! Is that awkward? Or does that happen a lot? eeekk I'm slightly freaking out! I just don't want to spend all this money and the 6 months to a year recovery and think.... DAMNIT! I knew I should have gone bigger. Any thoughts?? XO

I would say keep consulting until you feel comfortable and confident in your doctor. I will say that I had implants (saline) 12 years ago and was told that I was thin-skinned and my doctor wanted to be conservative due to that. He said due to my type of skin, they would drop too much. I was 110 pounds, 32a, and small boned. He put in 305 implants, and they fit my body perfectly. Good luck.

Sorry for the delay in responding! I agree with barbie56 in that you should NOT, under any circumstances settle. I know it makes it less convenient and you have invested time and energy in this doctor, BUT, you'll wish you looked around more and consulted with other docs if you come out of it unsatisfied. I know I sound like a know-it-all, but I can almost guarantee that you'll need more cc's to reach your goal- and I see it as totally possible. I bet you could easily pull off 450-500cc and look amazing, but not ridiculous. Trust me! I know so many women that wish they would have gone a little bigger. I would'nt mind upgrading in a few years myself. I'm researching 500cc..I'm 5'4" and 110lbs. My doc would definitely do that for me, so I know there are doctors that will help you reach your goal or get closer to it. Of course, it all has to be within' reason..you wouldn't want to go tooo big and then possibly deal with problems down the line.
Anyway, just some more food for thought! : )
Let us know what you decide!

Ps: if you show him pics and he doesn't feel confident about it, just thank him and let him know that you have some thinking to do. Then you can decide whether or not you want to go with him..at that point, either call him back to set a surgery date or call them back and let them know you have decided that he isn't a good fit for you afterall.
It is totally normal. Women often go to several consults before choosing their surgeon.
Oh- and my husband also was so sick of looking at boob pics by the time I had my ba, haha! Never dreamt that day would come!
