This mom of three (9,6&3) finally getting her "re-boob". I have been talking about getting the girls "fixed" ever since I stopped breast feeding my middle child. I do not regret breastfeeding my three kids at all, my boobs just paid the price in the end. Deflated, empty and sagging... The girls will not "bounce back" and it probably doesn't help that I love running, lifting and racing (half marathons, mudders...)
So...I've spent the past three months researching and it wasn't until last Wednesday (when I fell in love with my PS) that I knew I was ready.
I had gone to another consult this past June where I was told I need a lollipop lift and a nipple reduction. An assistant was literally shoving sizers down my bra and telling me I had to go for 350-400cc because I'm a tall girl. (Which I am, 5'9" and 130lb). I left that office sad and discouraged and feeling much worse about my breasts than I had before the appointment.
Fast forward to a week ago. After searching many before & after photos of PS around my area, I made an appointment and so happy I did. It confirms that I should always trust my gut and wait for the right "fit." Not only did my surgeon listen to all my concerns and desired outcome as an athlete, but after measuring me was surprisingly conservative with an implant suggestion. We are going with 300cc HP Mentor dual plane partial unders. I was nervous about the HP suggestion, but after seeing some photos of similarly built patients, I like the results (narrow implant, not a lot of side boob)
He commited me that he wants them to look as good as I do and this implant will bring me to the full C that I desire. So.... I'm trusting him. He's the expert and no matter how many photos I look at of 300cc they all look different in different people.
Excited and finally calm and not double guessing his expertise. A nice "mental" place to be. Also need to mention that I have the best husband ever. He doesn't say anything about my small chest. He always says he's a "butt guy" but I'm sure he'll love the results as well. They're an investment for "us" but I'm getting them for myself.

I have 480 dual plane. I have noticed that not a lot of people have that. My ps said that I needed it because I was (athletic ) very little fat. I basically had pecs from lifting weights. And because I had breast fed five kids. My implants came out beautiful. They look so natural. The only thing is I did bottom out a little on one side. But I think that's mainly because I went so big. I will get it fixed in the next two months. But I'm 5"5 and 120lbs. W the implants I am a 32f

good luck... my BA is Nov. 2 - you have more breast tissue to begin with than me... and you're going with 300 CC makes me wonder if I should go bigger? Thanks.
October 20, 2015
I think based on other reviews, 300cc would be a great size for you! I go back and forth as to whether they'll be too small/big...PA says he could only go up to a 300cc on me by changing I to a HP. Anything less in volume could have been a mod+. We are choosing size and profile because we have to fill sagging tissue. What you see is very loose and hollow

You look fantastic for having three kids. You're a racer too? Do you do any Spartans!?
October 26, 2015
Just ran a half, 5-10K's and competed in Sunday Rivers Tough Mountain this summer. Have you? Would have done Spartan Fenway Park, Boston, but is first week of Nov. maybe next year!
October 27, 2015
Yes, next year for sure!!! Need all the that time to heal and get used to our bodies!

Size is such a battle! I have to say I'm really happy I chose the mid range of what I was contemplating but I see now how 25 to 50cc is such small diffrence in size. It all depends on what You want them to look like. It really helped to bring a picture of what I thought was ideal..my PS then suggested a go a bit bigger than what he had initially suggested so I would get that full look I wanted without being out of proportion. Best of luck, you are going to look fantastic!
October 20, 2015
Thank you!!! Yours look amazing! Super happy for you! We all deserve it! I don't want them to look too big but if I'm getting them done...lets get them done! Haha

Hello! You have a nice thin, athletic body, so I understand you wanting to be conservative with the size. I also faced that dilemma and although I'm glad I didn't go too crazy big I'm happy I didn't go smaller than 435 CC's (round hp, silicone)... I actually still wish they had a bit more volume. My recommendation to all "Fit Mom's" like myself :-), is believe it or not 400 CCS isn't THAT big and if you're paying so much money why not have some nice boobies to show for it?! Lol, better than regretting it and wanting a bigger surgery later. 400 cc will still only get you in about the small C cup range which believe it or not comes out very soft and natural. Of course it's your choice and you have to feel comfortable with it. I know anything will look beautiful on your slim athletic body! Good luck & keep us posted

October 26, 2015
Awww...thank you!! I was supposed to go tomorrow but got bumped to Wednesday at 8:30am. I'll update you once on the other side!!! How are you feeling? Ya look great!
October 26, 2015
Thanks! I'm feeling and looking better literally by the hour it seems. Massaging and walking has helped tremendously. Good luck with your new date! What size did you land on for sure?
October 26, 2015
It's ultimately up to y PS. He said we really can't go too big with my measurements, going under. He has also heard my concerns and expectations with size, so I fully trust him!
Good luck to you! It sounds like you found the perfect doctor for you!! :)
