I decided after much research and much...
WORTH IT$6,600
I decided after much research and much deliberation to get breast implants after losing almost all volume breast feeding my boys. I never thought I would ever actually do it, but I was unhappy with my appearance and wanted to replace (and maybe add) to what was lost. I'm 5'10" 125 lbs. My goal was to look natural. I'm very bony and small framed, even though I'm tall. I didn't want the rounded top look of high profile implants. I wanted to be in a bikini and have people think I could actually have been blessed with cleavage, even though I'm thin. I was nervous because I could only find one other member with low profile implants. I met with the surgeon and he suggested 300cc mentor low profile or 325cc moderate +. I liked both but again, I wanted the most natural look possible without using anatomical implants (my doctor is not a fan of them). I went back and forth 5 x between 275 and 300, but finally decided to go with the larger size, as he said it would make me look slightly more hourglass shaped. I'm now 9 days post op, and while I think I could have gone larger, I keep reminding myself of my original goal, trying not to get greedy, and just trust the process. I'm told that they won't settle for another 3-6 months, I'm impatient but praying I continue to like them. One thing is certain though, they look much, much better than my post-nursing breasts!

Give it some more time. I feel like since theyre still sitting high up and havent yet fallen it almost makes them look smaller especially in your comparison pics. I have a similar frame as you, always been thin. I really liked the look of 286 rice sizers so my surgeon went with 304 which is one aize up to account for any volume lost under the muscle. It looks like he picked a great size for you. I like it because being so thin, the larger you go the more unnatural it looks. So I think its a perfect soze right in the middle. Good luck in your healing and keep us posted! Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for saying that, I keep telling my husband I wish I'd gone bigger. But, then I think about how my goal was to always look natural and believable- I'd rather not look like I paid for my chest. Just hoping that when they settle they look bigger and not smaller...

Yea i know what you mean. I know I would look sexy as hell in a bigger size but I thought really hard about it and I really doidnt want to change my "look." I wanted to still look sporty and petite and I think our size still maintains that with just a little extra on top to balance out our proportions. As for if they get bigger or smaller once they fall.. Many girls think they get smaller after they fall but I believe that is in terms of cup size. The size has to be bigger early on when they are sitting high and sticking out so much. But I personally believe that they look and feel bigger after they fall. I follow so many girls on this site and if you look a year out its an insane difference from the first few months. Like even after 6 months they are still not completely soft and are still a bit separated. Check out ponyridepele when you can. She posted a pic at 6 months and then a year plus and the difference is huge. She also got the same size as us although she is tiny tiny so they look a little bigger on her. I think her ribcage around was 26-27 inches for comparison. Hope that helps!!

Thanks so much! I'll check out her page and see. Have you checked out Subtleandpetite? She was my inspiration to go natural- so hard to find people with that goal. You look great by the way!!

Thank you! I just checked her page and she looks great! And she's so happy. Honestly when I forst came into all this I was debating between 265 cc and 286 cc. Then all the doctors suggested I go one size up from that at least or I may end up with boob greed. At first I saod no way to 300 but after both of my top 2 surgeons advised me the same I started to realize I just need to trust their judgment. Anyways I am bery happy with my size. Not too big, not too little :)

I'm trying so hard to be patient, but I'm having a hard time. I have to keep reminding myself that I wanted a natural look, I'm getting caught up in the fact that most girls my height go much, much bigger. I know my goal wasn't to look obvious but when no one (other than the people I told) notice any difference, I wonder why I paid the $. Back in the gym this week and lifting up my 27 lbs almost 2 year-old. Nothing hurts but trying to bench press and do push-ups feels weird. Hoping that gets better and that when the drop they get bigger. I do not want to spend more money on a revision. Fingers crossed that I like them when they are where they're supposed to be!

I think they look great but I can't see any before photos so I cannot tell how much difference it made.
I'm looking for a similar look to yours, not really wanting people to concentrate on my boobs but would like to notice the difference. I am going for 275-310 cc moderate profile..

Thanks for saying that. Posted a before and after, as you can see they are a lot more full but I think they're still just really tight. My advice to you is go bigger- I almost went with 275 and I'm so glad I didn't!
December 4, 2015
ok, looking at your before and after I can understand why you say that. They look perfect but yes, on you a littel bigger would also have looked good.
thing is on some people 300cc look huge, on Others they look right or just "normal size".. I really don't know! I'll just tell him to go with 310cc... once I get it dome, might aswell have something to showoff! ahhahh
The important thing is they look good and natural not totally fake.

ps, i'm smaller than you and the projection I chose is the moderate not low.
December 6, 2015
Exactly! Hoping so much that as they drop they get bigger- my PS says that they're being pushed on by my pecs so much that it's concealing the projection. I'm a very impatient person so this is so hard for me. I chose low bc I wanted the wider look and less space between the two sides. Good luck!

Hey I think you look great and I truly believe you need to wait until your final results before considering a revision. I look at reviews for 6 months and then the same review at a year and there is STILL much more dropping and fluffing. I feel like until that happens that it is very hard to notice underneath clothing. I am in the same boat and got almost the same size as you. No one has noticed but I don't have any cleavage yet and they're too tight and high up to truly create much so honestly I am just going to wait until I am more healed until I show them off. Right now, the way they are I can't get a very natural look out of them anyways. Hope that helps. If you want to see what I mean check out ponyridepele review. She got the same size as us. Don't give up yet!!

Thanks :) I'm just really down, my PS said that this happens and to not be so hard on myself, but I'm feeling like I just wasted a ton of $! Do you really think that they get bigger as they drop and fluff? Mine feel like they're down but then I look in the pics and they're still so pec-ish. My whole goal was to look natural and now I'm mad at myself for not going bigger. Argh! Thanks for the words of encouragement, I really appreciate them.
