WORTH IT$6,600
Today it's been 2 months since I had my surgery. It's gone by so fast, I can't believe it's already 2 months post-op. Most of the time I'm very happy, but occasionally I have doubts about the size I selected etc. I am now back to doing all of the workouts I did before, but some of them I still modify- yoga, push-ups on knees, lighter weight for chest press and tricep extensions/presses. When I'm working out and not able to do what I did before I get very frustrated, but I'm hoping that in time I'll be able to push myself like I did prior to surgery. I finally got the go ahead from my surgeon to wear regular bras, as my implants are pretty much exactly where he wants them, and I'm now wearing a 32DD or 30DDD- I do not know how that happened! I will say that for anyone telling their surgeons that they wanted to be a certain size- don't do it; show them pictures instead. If you had told me that after surgery I would be a 32DD, I would have canceled the surgery! I chose a modest implant and I was terrified of the size. Now, when I look at my chest, I think I have average size breasts that fit my frame; I think they look believable. I'm still hoping for more fluffing, and to start loving them 100% of the time, but I'm happy with the progress I've made so far.

Dr. Tattelbaum was extremely kind and patient each time I went in to try on sizers or get more information. I was/am very obsessive and so nervous about how I was going to look afterwards. I explained my goals of looking natural to the point that he was probably ready to put in earplugs, but he never acted annoyed or frustrated- not sure how he did that. His assistant Pei, was always kind, and on the day I had to give her my final size I changed my mind 5 times. She was patient, and although I'm sure I was frustrating, she never showed it. The OR nurses were great, especially Sid, who made me laugh and feel at ease when I was terrified. All around great experience. I still have about 3-6 months for them to take their final shape, but I'm trying to be patient and remain positive. Thank you!

I feel the same exact way as you. I wanted to stay modest and I went with a size or 2 higher than my preferred sizes and I really thought I was going to be so huge. Now I think ehh I could have really gone sooo much bigger. I feel like they can still be consodered small to many lol. But I am actually so happy with it so I'm glad to hear you are too. We get to keep our petite and sporty sexy look! You look great! You've got tons more healing to go so if you're happy now they will be perfect for you in the end. So happy for you!!
Thanks so much!! How are you doing? I hope the healing is going well for you too! I keep telling myself that if in 5 years, I still would like them a bit bigger, then I will treat myself :) I wanted to still look classy, and I think I accomplished that, but sometimes, when I'm wearing my gym clothes, I think 50cc more wouldn't be so bad!
Could you post a pic update? I'm in the same boat as you with same dr.
Hi realselfun, are you referring to me or to IH742009? I will post an update pic either way since it has been a while.
Wow! Bra sizes are so funny, I can't figure them out. I think your size looks great! I'm a few weeks behind you and can't do a lot of yoga 9or Pilates moves that involve upper body muscles, it either feels weird or huts a little. Hoping that heals sooner than later.
Thank you! I know, going down to do sun salutations is so hard for me- it just feels really weird. Hoping it'll continue to feel better!
How do you feel about the size now after more time has passed? I am currently trying to decide on size and between low and moderate profile. Same goal as you. My doctor says he never uses low profile, because noone ever wants them. he says they are too flat. Not sure if I trust him because he is the expert after all, or he just doesn't get exactly how conservative I want to go.
I'm in the 300-350 cc range. My width is 12.75

Thanks for any thoughts you have.

Things seem to be moving their way down to where they're supposed to be, but I still have a ways to go. Can't wait!! Tried on my first sports bra (needed something for high impact, who knew you needed to have support for your breasts??) and in the UA high impact bra the 32D and 34C are tight, so tight that I needed help pulling them off my head. Is this how high impact bras fit or am I bigger than those sizes? I still need to get sized but Ive put it off until things have settled. Has anyone found that the at home measuring systems are accurate?

If the bra is very tight, imagine getting a little breathless from a workout... It will hurt to breathe! I think those bras you tried on are probably too small.

I personally had no luck with sizing at VS or Nordstrom. They were both wrong, meaning the size they gave me was way off from what actually fit me. Online the only website that corresponded for me was Nike.
Thanks- I had completely forgot about Nike, I'll give them a try :)
Looking good chica!! Seeing lots of progress. Unfortunately I havent tried on any high impact sports bras yet but I can definitely see them being a little tighter than normal. Have you been sizes or anything? Its so dofficult buying bras in this interim period. I never know if I'm wasting my money on a bra that wont fit :/ Let us know how it goes with the sports bra. I havent tried any high impact running just yet.
No, I haven't been sized, I told myself I would wait until my PS gives me the green light. I measured myself and I keep getting a C or D but that's hard for me to believe. My 36 C nursing bra fits perfectly; but maybe if they measured me professionally they'd get a different result :) Just ordered 3 more from Athleta, I'll let you know how they work out.
