So its official. For about 7 years I've been unhappy with my breasts. The fitter I get, the worse they look. I've schedule my surgery for just 2 weeks from now. I've decided that I'm going to get implants and some lipo to compliment my look. I'm going to included tons of pics because looking at everyone elses pics has helped me to decide what I want to do. I'll continue to post my emotional and physical roller coaster day by day

Emotional Roller Coaster ...

My first post was pretty short so I'll expand a bit. I'm 5'1", 125 lbs. I have 2 kids who I nursed extensively. Now that they are much older and I'm done having children I've decided its time to get the girls done. I'm going crazy over size ( as if thats new on this website) Even though I'm short I wouldn't exactly call myself petite. I've always had an athletic or thicker build. Anyway my breasts are, as you can see, deflated skin bags. I'm embarrassed to take off my shirt in front of my bf, and I can't wear a lot of things because of the deflation. I'm a 34 A+/B-, lol. I'd be happy with my little boobies if they didn't look like udders when I bent over or if the didn't look like they were inside out when I raise my arms. I've never wanted big knockers but I also am not ready to come to terms with a lollipop scar. My PS says since I'm borderline lift/pseudotosis, I can get the aug now and decide on the lift later. He said that regardless, later I will need the lift. But, the trade off is a larger implant now. Because of the assymetry he suggested 457 on Rightina and 421 on Leftina (those are their new names btw). I'm currently having a hard time wrapping my head around that size. Like WHOA!!!! He assures me that they will look smaller once they are in (behind the muscle) but also says he wants me to pick whatever size I want. He said that if I opted to go smaller then I must come to terms with sagginess. He says the 457 will give me a lifted look and won't look to large for me. My biggest concern is looking fat and matronly with those. Ugh. I'm getting some lipo too so maybe that will help with the fat thing. I plan on posting a bunch of pre-op and post-op photos to help those of you who have similar boobies to mine. I've found that its really easy to find pretty post op boobies BUT its hard to find before's that match your own. I have a bunch of (embarassing) pics but hopefully it will help others to determine what they want in the long run.

My breasts have got so saggy from breastfeeding. I hate all the extra skin. I've lost weight and now don't have much tissue left :/ I'm excited to see your results. I'm getting 457 also. I kinda wanted to see about getting 497 but idk if he will go that big on me he said 457 was the max. Do your know what profile your getting? I'm to the point I hate my boobs and pretty much think I'll be happy with anything.

I'm getting moderate profile. I'm still contemplating one size smaller. I think the 457 look a little large to say the least

I'm 5'7" 139lbs. Some pictures I see they look big then others look small. It's so hard to tell

absolutely love your honesty. Everything you said was how i felt inside about mine but danced around the words ( saggy, pancake, udder) probably hoping if i didnt say it out loud then wouldnt be true haha! Anyhow after two babies and a weight fluctuation between 45kg and 85kg i was left with what you have BUT i had the added issue of nipples pointing down so i couldnt avoid a lift. However my scar running from my nipple to under my boobie is barely there and much better then the anchor scar. Not sure if you know about silicone sheets? if not they are great for minimalising scarring ( bit exxy tho around $ 110 for a large sheet you can cut to suit or theres special lift ones) Anyhow i hope everything goes really really well for you bet you feel so much better afterwards... well a week or 2 after! :)

Sizing Decision has been made...

User Avatar
Esoterica11
So today was my final pre-op appt and we made the final sizing decision. I opted for 421 cc moderate profile silicone gels, same size in both breasts. Originally we were gonna do two different sizes but one they were in then Rightina became bigger than Leftina and overall my PS said the assymetry would be less noticeable once they were bigger with more volume and if we put 457 in the other then all we would be doing is switching which side was bigger and since I was used to the left being larger thats what we would do. Later on down the road when I lift he would just remove some breast tissue to make them even. Sooooo, now I'm super duper excited and less overwhelmed about finding the perfect size. I'm adding some pics with sizers :) ONLY 14 DAYS!!!!!

What made you decide on Reedy?

I went for a consult with Schlecter and I felt I was being forced into HUGE boobies despite me saying they were too big. They immediately went in for the hard sell. In contrast, Reedy was soft spoken, listened to my concerns, he explained the why's of his suggestions, and told me ultimately it was MY choice what I wanted to do. There was never a hard sell or a push to set a procedure date and start getting finances together. I went back to Reedy for a 2nd consult and he answered all of my questions. He also made the time both days to speak to me on an operating day because that is my only day off. I've also emailed another surgeon and called only to have poor follow up. My thoughts were, if they can't answer an email or a phone call promptly what will happen if theres a concern post-op? I've also met quite a few people who have used and are happy with Reedy.

I think you're really smart for contemplating the size that is going to make you happy. Unfortunately, I was surrounded by people who just thought bigger was better because their boobs had vanished. I decided on 400cc annitomicals from Sientra
