U are my inspiration!!!
Lol! Thanks. Have you made up your mind about the size? When is your surgery?
Hina....I'm seriously SOOO conflicted, u have no idea (although maybe u have some idea! :) ) Just when I thought I had convinced myself to go with the 295's, I asked the PS office what they'd recommend. My concerns are achieving fullness and proportion. I was a little surprised by the vote for 255's...though they said either would be fine. I'll ask more detail during my preOP (my biggest concern continues to be width). I honestly think either will look great. Perhaps when they see my interest in considering the 295 the recommendation would change. I think during my consult I was so uninterested in anything over 250 that their recommendation may have been influenced, who knows.
My preOP is Dec 1st and my surgery is the 12/15. I'm a little nervous about being up for our typical x-mas gatherings....I'm definitely not going to push it if I don't feel ready. We have so much family near and far it's always a juggling routine who we see anyway. And, of course, I'll have a couple of extra things to juggle...so THAT will be interesting. I think after I heal and get used to them, I can see myself enjoying them in company,for sure....but, so soon after surgery, I think I have a pretty realistic expectation for pain and appearance.

i think that 295 would be perfect for you. Since most people have boob greed initially, i think you will have more chance to regret not going for 295 than not going for 250. But ask them and see what they say.
yes definitely take it easy after your op. For me, i was really tired the first week (needed a morning nap which never happens to me) and then just really sore the 2nd week. Winter time definitely helps if you want to ease people into your new boobs because it's easy to hide behind sweaters especially if you haven't told your family :)

I got the stare with this top when i went to my chiropractor today. Not sure i liked it: Hellooo! My eyes are up here!...lol
Your breasts look amazing! Your before pics look similar to me. I have my BA on Nov 23 and have been tossing back and forth between 250 or 280cc and round or anatomical ones. I went to my consult about a week and a half ago and I was fixed on anatomical ones because I wanted a more natural look. After seeing lots of reviews and pics, seemed like lots of people were getting a natural look from round implants. I want to get anatomical for the shape, but afraid of any shifting, rippling and the fact that they won't be as soft as round. Were those any concerns for you? I'm 5'0" 110lbs and my bwd is 12cm. I pretty sure I'll be going for the 280's, since I was told there is very minor difference from 250 and I don't want to regret going bigger. I would love if my breasts turned out like yours. Do you think you could've gotten the same results if you went round? The implant my doctor chose for me was Natrelle 410's moderate profile 280cc. Do you think I should get a higher profile? I'm also going for a modest look and don't people to really tell I got them done. I'm also Asian, how was the healing of your scars? Sorry for all the questions. I've bee wanted to do this surgery all my life and at 35 I've finally decided to take the plunge and I want to make sure I make the right choices. I'm also deathly afraid of having surgery. I don't have any kids, and I've never gone through any kind of surgery.
Ignore my scarring question. I just read all your posts and see you had laser done. They look good. Hopefully mine will heal well too.
my primary concern was rippling and also longevity (i don't have the money nor the desire to to a surgery every 10 years) and i was told the shaped ones were better for these. I was afraid that going to round would make rippling worse that's why i picked anatomical but i have no idea what would have been my results if i had picked round so who knows? There are a lot of things and concerns to think about and i completely understand you. My surgeon eliminate high profile right away, not sure if because i was looking for natural look or if because of more risk of rippling. I think 280 mod would look great on you if you don't want to be obvious and be proportionate. Surgery risk wise, what helped me is to think about the millions of women going thru this without any issues. it is a very common surgery and the risks have been minimized (not nul but minimized enough to feel reassured). Hope this helps.
Thanks for the response. Your posts and results have definitely helped me a lot!
You look really good. I'm getting mine in a month. And was also thinking about getting 255cc or 275cc. Question for you. Did you get gummy beer tear drops or gummy bear round? Thanks in advance.
I got tear drop
Hi Hinaflaca! I had my surgery 3 weeks ago today with Dr. C. -- he is genius. I've been too lazy to post photos etc. -- went with 300 cc mod+. My right breast is the problem child right now with intermittent sharp pains. Know it will all get better! Have a great Thanksgiving! Thank you for your correspondence and updates! It's such a great help to so many people to see the reviews/updates! Take care!
Oh nice!! Did u end up with tear drop or round? I had sharp pains too but that goes away like u said. How do you like the size so far? Happy thanksgiving to you too! Just wished the weather wasn't so crappy. Post pictures when you can :)
The weather!!!! Crazy! We actually went and picked out our Christmas tree today! The first year I've ever gotten out of helping pack it inside etc!
Love the size of the implants -- we'll see how I feel when I start running again. Ha! I think they will be fine. Went with round smooth silicone. I had some slight asymmetry prior to surgery so that is still noticeable, of course, but doesn't really bother me.
I am concerned with the rippling I feel on the armpit side of the right breast -- Hoping that goes away after they get settled -- trying to mentally prepare for the possibility that it may not go away..... a little disappointing that I am feeling that already. Felt it on day 1. Dr C aware of it. I felt like he may have been encouraging anatomicals (perhaps of little adipose tissue?..) but I was just concerned about the softness -- even though yours look great and the video shows quite squishy and movable!
I will try to organize photos in the next few days and post. Cheers!

Ahhhh! I think I mostly figured out how to post photos! I'm technically challenged. 51 yrs old..... ha!

Pictures with clothes so you can see proportion to body: am wearing a VS uplift bra which has more padding than regular but not as much as push-ups.

Thank u soooo much! You actually have a bit more than "before" boobies than I do, lol. It's so helpful to see your results. You look so great!
I look like your before pics right now and I'm scheduled for surgery in 2days! I'm getting 250cc Natrelle round, under the muscle. I love the look you achieved with the anatomical implants. When I tried the anatomical sizers, they seemed flat and "tired" looking...but yours look fantastic! I'm rethinking my decision now.
I think 250 will be perfect for your figure no matter which shape you choose. Good luck for tomorrow. You will do just great!
I'm gonna be sure to take some before and afters in my favorite bikinis :) How does your green bikini fit now? Just a little different?? :)
Yours looks perfect for your frame, they look so natural already
