ORIGINAL POST
1st consult scheduled for 11.2.2016. I'm 44,...
WORTH IT$7,000
1st consult scheduled for 11.2.2016.
I'm 44, 6'0 195lbs. I'm currently around a 38B/36C. I've been on hormone therapy for almost 19months and my lack of breast size has been a major source of dysphoria for me.
Due to my height and upper body size I am looking for 800cc cohesive gel implants. We'll see what the doctor has to say about it.

1st consult is in the books.
Had a great consult with Dr. Reedy and his assistant Stephanie.
Went over my information and they were impressed by what I knew.
When all was said and done, they confirmed by original guesstimate was spot on.
800cc HP cohesive gel!!
I really liked them and may stick with them.

I have also been looking at Dr. Reedy! Was he the only doctor you had a consultation with? My first consult is Wedesday with Dr. Subbio in Newtown Square. I can't wait

He's the only one I've consulted with. His staff was pretty darn good and accommodating.

Get at least one more. Then go with your gut to either stay or keep looking. I almost went with my 1st consult because I liked him and they were nice. But if I had....I'd have gotten a lift and not gotten 800s. I'd be stuck at a max of 450s. Which means, boobie Greed and revision surgery! No bueno. They'd be good but not right for me. So I advise at least 2 consults. Unless you just KNOW. cuz I had 2 more scheduled after my 2nd consult already, but once I met my PS, I KNEW he was the guy for me. I didn't even wait til hubby met him too. I just knew and decided. So of you really know that's one thing, but if you think he may be ok... get another consult 1st, or 2, then decide!

Nevermind...I see you are settled on it now and confident about it. Good. I've seen his name around this and other sites before. You'll love your results. If they are confident doing large implants and you are confident in them and their skills, it'll be great.

Okokok...don't get carried away!! I didn't even look at real bras til my boobies stopped looking different every day. I think about week 6 or so they started settling in and stopped changing so much every day, for me. I was mid week 7, when I could finally get to a Nordstrom's. And honestly, I probably would've waited another couple weeks, but we moved out of country and didn't know how hard it'd be to get a proper fitting over here. And I'm glad we didn't wait. They are some small chested ladies over here. Lol. (Lol at my huge boobies is vs their little ones...not at small boobs. I had them for years! I'm not hating. I'm just glad it's not me anymore.)
So every now and again I get a bit self conscious, but my new confidence helps dissipate that crap, quickly!
Whatever you do...do NOT invest any good money in a bra til at least 4-6 weeks post op. I think 8 is even better! And no wires til PS clears you!
I made due with Walmart specials til I couldn't anymore. I just don't have tons of money to literally throw away. If you do, then go for it. But if not, wait!!
Also, I bought a compression bra for my post op recovery. If didn't even fit til my swelling went down!!! It fit great pre op. But even though it's meant for XL implants, it is NOT meant for real XLs. Only up to maybe 650s. Unless you go bigger in band size, but then you lose support. So, research research research for your best post op recovery bras! I spent like 120 on 2 and couldn't wear them for almost a month and now only really like wearing them at night cuz they really don't have enough material to cover my boobs fully! Crayzee!

So, for me, I say that for you, at your height and size, 800s will look great! Remember that a cup size increase is anywhere between 150-250cc depending how your body "eats" the implants. I definitely ate some up but still ended up with large boobs. So if you have boobs already, it will def make you have huge boobies, but they will probably balance you out nicely too. You maybe should get one consult with one of those imaging doctors. it may help you to visualize. But make sure you stuff your bra with max sizes in the office during the consult to get an idea too. The office sizers really help you see what you may look like...and take pics of it too!!
I know that for my body, I would absolutely be unhappy if I'd have gone smaller by much (probably would've been ok/satisfied with as low as maybe 650-700cc, but I had very flat, small boobs to begin with) but I LOVElovelovelove my new boobies and body image and feeling like a woman...finally!!! So does my hubby!!!
So if YOU want to go big...DO IT! And most importantly... get a PS you have full confidence in, that supports YOUR ideals, that is skilled at bigger implants. That is sooooo vital!!!!! If you want something and get a PS that isn't confident in it or wants you to do something different, you'll never feel fully settled with your results.
Its also important to not focus 100% on cc sizes because it DOES depend on your BWD..100%. if your bwd is only lets say, 10.5...you literally CAN'T fit 800s. So, that's why it's vital to find a PS that is on your wavelength and supports your desires. And has the skills to get you there. Of your goal is say, Tyra banks boobies, and you start out with a c cup, you may not even need 800s, ya know?!? So, trusting your PS is the most top priority.
Btw...what is your BWD??
Your first consult will/should have told you if you don't already have your measurements. Then you can look up both allergen and mentor charts to see what cc can fit into your natural bwd. That'll help you get settled on your goal cc size pretty quick.
I went the max size that would fit into my bwd. I was 15.2 and 800cc mentors were my max fit. Yay me!
And hey, maybe you'll just inspire her to get bigger boobies too. Then you can both rock some fab and sexy polish bras after the healing process! (Cuz Victoria Secret doesn't generally stock sizes larger than DDD or so. I've heard amazing things about polish bras. Hey, being up there in PA, you may even have a polish bra maker nearby. But if you haven't heard about the p.bras...look them up.)
aaaaaand I can't see her going for a BA anytime soon. She's more of the conservative type. Me? I'm gonna get my body the way I want it before it's too late. Wooooo!
My PS was adamant that xl implants do NOT automaticallean revision surgery or lifts are needed layer on...it's All bout how you take care of your investment! Which is why I ALWAYS keep these babies supported, even in bed at night. In fact, sleeping is where I wear my compression bra and walking I wear a high support sports bra and rest of the time I wear a ridiculously expensive, but highly supportive Bea from Nordstrom's. (Their pro fittings are amazing, btw!!) I actually got my fitting up there in Pittsburgh.
I was actually scared, quite a bit cuz I hated my flat and wide boobies. (Little did I know I had natural side boob. beneficial now!!)
But now that they are settling, they really DO look much better than I even dared to hope for! I expected I'd end up wanting a lift too, but I don't. Not even a little bit.
I really, actually, do love them.
So, if you aren't droopy like mine, then you'll end up with probably even better results! Oh how exciting!!! I can't wait to see how you turn out, girl. Isn't it fun to connect with other people who want the same things?? I get excited for other people to end up as happy with their own bodies as I finally am with mine!!! It's weird. But true.
