35 Years Old, 5', 120 Lbs, 32AA/34AA, 2 Kids (Both Breastfed), Asian, 400cc HP silicone - Rockville, MD

My stats: 5 feet tall even, 120 lbs, I say I'm a 34AA but that's mostly for band measurement as I have almost no breast mass. I have 2 kids and breastfeed both for a total of 4.5 years. Before pregnancy, I tried all the pills and creams and hoped my breasts would grow but the Boob Fairy not only missed me but avoided me like plague. I thought maybe pregnancy would change that but no, I looked like my old self except fatter. Maternity wear without breasts to go with it is sad. My last hope was breastfeeding. With my first, I was still working and actually produced more milk than he could consume (about an extra gallon a month). And yet even though I was being milked like a cow, I still didn't have boobs. Nursing bras were a joke. Everything was loose and baggy and there wasn't any point in stuffing them because that's a huge pain to deal with every time I had to nurse. Now I'm 35 and we've decided we're done having kids. My husband also wanted me to do something for myself.

It took me almost a year to finally get up the nerve to book some consultations. The first doctor I went to seemed nice enough but I didn't feel like he was The One. He definitely seemed competent but was just *meh* personality-wise. I know you're not looking for a BFF in a surgeon but I feel you should be able to trust them. Always go with your gut. It was also slightly disappointing because after looking at before/after pics online and how close the surgery center was, I thought he would be it. After that consult I decided I'd go with him if I didn't love the second one. Like I said, he was very knowledgable but a little too clinical for me. Plus, it bothered me that I didn't try on any sizers with him but before I saw him, with some assistant who didn't seem like she had any knowledge of implants (other than the obvious).

The second surgeon was Dr Tattelbaum. I had to wait a little longer than expected because the woman before me decided she wanted to discuss 3 procedures instead of just the one she booked an appointment for. (Ladies: don't do that. We all have things we need to do.) Once we met Dr T (who was extremely apologetic for us having to wait), we liked him immediately. He showed me all my options. I'd like to say we booked a date before we left but we had to wait on some paperwork.

I just lost an entire post so I'm going to just submit some wish pics and see if that works before I rewrite my whole post. Grrrrr

Let me say that I hate rice sizers: they're itchy and as an Asian, I feel it's sacrilegious to waste rice like that! Haha, ok, seriously: hate rice sizers. I don't feel they give an accurate measurement and they're lumpy and bumpy and not conforming to the body. I feel the rice sizers look MUCH bigger than the silicone sizers I tried on in the office. I go back to Dr. T tomorrow to finalize my size (we discussed 350/375 at the consultation) so hopefully I'll have more legit pictures from that appointment.

At my initial consult he also mentioned that my left ribcage sticks out. I thought my left boob was a smidge bigger but he said that's just my ribcage pushing it out. He said there wasn't a need to have different size implants because the difference was negligible and besides, "they're sisters, not twins." My husband loves that line and uses it all the time now. XD.

Pretty pretty please let me know your opinions on the sizers. I feel like in person they're huge, but big balls of uncooked rice on my chest aren't the most pleasant thing. My husband says "375 is where it's at. Any less and you won't be happy." And he said they don't look any different than what I tried on in the office and I really loved the 375s! (And I have my hand on my torso so you can sort of see the projection. So difficult to get depth in pictures.)
