3 weeks til "D" day! I have been wanting to get a BA after breastfeeding my second child (nobody tells you your boobs are going to look like banana peels afterwards!) Ha! Anyway, I'm 5'5", 121#. I went from a 34B (prekids, C while nursing) to a 32AA/A, great thing is that they are to small to sag! :) Anyway, I just want to fill out my tops, nothing too big, B+/C- is good for me. I am very active (running, waterskiing, outside w/ the kids) and I don't need my breasts to get in my way. I just want to be were I was before with an additional sass!
I have been on sites looking at different breast shapes, and sizes and I think I've decided 300-325HP. I'm still on the fence, maybe 304MP, I do want to look natural as possible. PS says 325HP = my "perfect fit" but I felt like they looked HUGE when I tried them on, however I have learned that I will lose about 25cc under the muscle, so when I go back for my pre-op appt in 2 weeks, I will make the final decision. I also want to ask him about the mod+ profile, the results seem great, at least the pictures I've seen thus far.
I'm excited and a little nervous all at the same time. Nervous, b/c any surgery is risky, I'm in the medical field, so I know all the risks involved. I'm also nervous about picking the right size & getting the results that I want. However, I have been doing my research, and it was recommended that I take pictures of exactly what I want which is an excellent idea, so I will show him in two weeks so we are on the same page.

So excited for you!!! 3 weeks will be here before you know it!!! I just had my surgery yesterday and I'm 5"7 tall and weigh 127 pounds and was totally flat less than AA, I got 305cc silimed silicone unders round high profile. At the moment I'm wearing a c cup post op bra which is fitting but I think after the swelling goes down ill be a large B just what I wanted. Have a look at my profile if you would like to compare. All the best and ill be looking forward to seeing your progress :)

Kden, I had BA from Dr. Szczerba, I am saying this honestly... He is the best!! I went from 36AA to 36DD and Love them so much. I took a huge chance on Ultra High Profile to get the projection I wanted and my breasts are perfect. I gave him my concent to show before and after pic's at PS meeting and on his website.. In box me and I will give you more info. Also go to Walmart and look for strapless Cami's they are $5.00 each look at my photo's Dr. loves thems them and recomends them to all. My recovery was quick, my over all expierence was 10. if you have personal questions I will reply person to person. good luck Tell them the women with Ultra High Implants said hello... : ) he will be doing my nose soon. I went with 550cc Ultra High Profile Natrelle Gel style 45. Go a bit bigger you won't be sorry really you won't. You will fall in love with them but they are swollen and then once that goes down. You'll be sorry!!!!

Yes, Emily (one of the girls at the front desk recommended the HP too) Ok, going to check out your profile & will send you another message! Congrats on your results & I will tell them that we connected & you said "Hi!" :) I heard he does an excellent job w/ the rhinoplasty surgery too! :) Excited for you. -KL

Kden, How are you holding up? Don't stress out!! there is a site you can go to. Type the size you are now and then type in the size you'd like to be. But the tricky part is this... Look at all the pictures that look like you NOW. And then look at the after pic's. That's as good as it gets. No two bodies are the same. Look at it this way. What you look like now is what your going to be looking like after BA except larger. You'll be fine. I'm so happy for you!!!

I forgot... MP??? When Kelly was the front Dest person,she told me no no no to Moderate Profile and thank god I listened. I went extreme, Ultra high and so glad I did. The Thin women at the Dest is awesome I forgot her name but she will tell you what is good and bad. I had the entire staff in the room 5 minutes before surgery trying to make up my mind. I went with Ultra then and it's fabulous. Add 50 cc really to your choice.. I'm serious. It's not that big of a difference and yes you can see them, but [RS bleep] you paid all that money, let them stand out for your ownself....

Hi Ladies, I'm looking for all the 300-325HP Silicone ladies out there! You are hard to find. I want to see more before & after pics. I feel like the majority of the pics I have seen are 350-450cc. Surgery is in 15 days, and I'm getting nervous! Thanks, KL :)

Look at this site... breastimplantsusa.com breast implants usa . com look for someone who looks like you. What your breasts look like in the mirror right now is how they are going to look after implants... just bigger. look at every before and after photo they look the same but bigger. PS will tell you that. I think the world of the PS.. and his staff. your in good hands.

I am so excited for you. I don't mind if he shows you my photo's I gave him authorization to share my photos with the other dr.s. So go for it. but go bigger you won't be sorry. listen, when you get home from surgery you won't look big for a few days. But when they are swollen you'll love them.. As the swelling goes down you'll miss the larger breasts because it is a good amount. I went big and I'm happy you have no idea. Read on this site of all the girls that wish they would have went larger... : ) Let me know if you need anything. I'm so happy for you.

keep looking and looking. I spend enless hours doing homework on BA. I spend endless hours looking for the perfect PS. Again, I spent hours and hours each night, to where my husband was going to shoot me from typing on the computer until 4am each night for months. But in the end, it was so worth it. I was never in pain. I did not have one bruise. I asked if I was going to look like someone beat the crap out of me... And he said if you have one bruise... I did not do my job. No one should have a bruise on them. He is the only one that touches the implant. No others can even breathe on them. I put all my trust in him. I told him and the staff while walking into the surgery room, I want them perfect and if they are not perfect then please fix them because I'm so picky when a picture is not hanging correctly. They all said they will be just fine. I also requested to be awake until they needed to start. I loved watching them prep. I'm not afraid of surgery at all, I want this so why would I be afraid. Watch the you tube video of what is going to happen. I watched the video about 10 times. I'm very brave. I had no idea they sit you up to make sure your breasts are perfect. You don't know your sleeping like a baby. It has to be hard just waiting and waiting. I was in Mexico for 12 nights before I had surgery. I came home on Oct 21st at 8pm and had surgery Oct 22nd at 6am. I planned it that way, so I would sleep like a champ after surgery. If you want to chat about anything or if you have questions feel free. I also made my husband a booklet of why women want BA. what to expect and what to do and what NOT to say.... so you don't get yelled at. Omg my husband was the perfect nanny the entire week. I kid you not!! He also understood better why we want BA and what other husbands have gone thru. It was amazing. ttys
