Hi, brand new on here as of today! Took 15 yrs to make this decision. A size looking to go to size C. Have the "I breast fed" deflated boobies! Had a consult yesterday but left there not quite "excited", so I am going in tomorrow to a different doctor for another consult. I have a friend who works for him and she looks great. Dreaming at night: Saline? Silicone? Gummy bear? 300? 325? 350? If I decide to go with this doctor, it will be scheduled 23 days from now. I'm sure he will help me choose what is best. After looking at countless pics, my husband is set on 325!! LOL I am 5'4" and 125. I don't want BIG just better. Thanks for letting me ramble. I just quit my job of 9 years as manager of a gym and find I have way too much thinking time on my hands!

Hey Michelle and welcome to the best site for BA's. Choosing the right size is what we all agonize over. Have you played with the sizers yet to see what you like? Don't worry about numbers. Just try on them on until you find what you like and then see what the size is. I did 425 MentorMemory gel silicone, HP's, unders. I am a full C, small D, right where I wanted to be. But you may have more tissue than me and I may be broader than you. Find a good wish pic, show it to your PS and say this is what I want. Then he can guide you on how to get there.

Thank you for posting! Our asymmetry is kind of the same I was told im about 50cc apart and I've wanted a full C yours look amazing and I hardly notice that the smaller one was slightly bigger so that gives me good hope that I can kinda fix mine because mine now looks pretty terrible at least to me!

After my second consultation, I found the right Dr! I am 5'4", 125 and a 32A. I have been thinking about it for 15 years! We decided on the gummy bear by sientra. Dr. Dann Leonard will be doing my surgery. What stood out the most was that he took the time, explained why he choose those, showed me on my body the differences between 2 or 3. HE was also excited about doing it! The other doctor was was sooo different, very clinical, didn't want to see my "wish" pictures, etc. I'm so excited! Also super glad I don't have to think anymore about : Saline or Silicone, smooth or textured, what size....omg that was exhausting me ! Will try and upload the one dumb before pic I have. Love reading all your stories, thank you all so much for sharing!

Congrats Michelle on deciding to say yes! Think we have all been there, but I do think that being in our "50's" it is a harder choice. I was a 36B in VS bras wore the lightly lined ones and got 304 and 336 silicone unders. Went to the semi annual sale and the 36D fit perfect. I told my husband I was wanting to be a large C or small D, so it all worked out as to what I Wanted. Now after I had BA on 5/29 I am now wishing I went 371 and 400!! LOL funny how that works out. My husband loves them and I will get used to them too. Good luck on your decisions, I know I am rambling and probably of no help, just passing on my experience. Oh take LOTS of pics even if for your own journey.

Hey, I am rambling queen lately about this stuff! I was at VS today for a gift for my daughter (birthdays 6 days apart) and they asked if I wanted something. I said I'll be back in a couple months!! I have my pre op on 7/24 and will tell him to make sure he goes bigger, not smaller?

I love how you describe the differences in your doctor consults. I often encourage members to get more than one consult for the very reason you experienced! We would love to see your before picture and even your wish boob pictures. By the way, happy birthday! You look great!

Thank you, Beth! There was a HUGE difference in the doctors! I was almost jumping up and down when I left the second one. (Ok, secretly I DID when I got home!) I saw a link on here and can't seem to find it again..... 10 things to do before your surgery.... could you share that again? You've been extremely helpful, thank you!
