I am so happy to have discovered a community of people to share their thoughts and experiences together because we all know size, brand, shape, or profile is a hard decision to make.

I have always been improportionate from my breast to butt ratio. For a couple of years now my choice of bras has been VS bombshell and hides my small 34b size. I have been measured as a 34b but still do not fill the entire bra. I've been searching for similar stats from other people, but not as a heavier set as myself and petite height. I have already put down a deposit for my date on May 26, 2015 and plan to pay all cash which will reduce my cost to $6,144. We will see if I can save that much until then lol. This date gives me enough time to lose about 28-38 lbs. My ideal goal weight is 115-125, but I don't mind being on the curvier side because here in California is good to be "thick" haha.

I have been to two consultations with my PS and his name is Dr. Kearney. I have seen amazing pictures of his work and believe he can give the results that I am looking for. I did not consult with other PS after seeing before and after pictures that did not have the look that I was looking for. I decided to go for silicone for the natural feel and look. I tried a couple of sizers and liked how the 375 look, but my PS said I can go for 400 (since what I've heard you lose a couple cc when you go under the muscle) But recently I've been having boob greed and thinking of 425. Also, I've seen/read other girls reviews and they had mod plus and they look amazing too! So now I'm confused about if I want to go high profile or mod plus profile. I love how the high profile gives you fullness on top and how mod plus gives you cleavage and side boob. I'm so torn on what to decide. Thankfully I have enough time to decide until my BA.

Hopefully my experience can help others or can help me with my process=)

Go with 425 HP. If the implant is large enough, you will have both cleavage and upper pole fullness with HP.

Well there's not much difference between the two sizes. So always go with the highest reasonable size your doc recommends based on your wish pics. Trust me. I know. Check out my story.

I agree with Mamamel. If you plan on going under the muscle they say you really loose the "look" of about 30-50cc. I would go with the larger if possible too.

I think I will most definitely go with the bigger size. What do you think about sagging or having kids after?
User Avatar
November 25, 2014
Sagging.....well, let's just say gravity is NOT your friend. I try to wear some kind of support everyday. But that's any woman. Having kids......kids are great and I don't really think it's the child that really does a number on ya it's the breast feeding! But I was all done with kids long before havd my surgery.

I agree with Mamamel! Sat was exactly one year for me and I'm SO thankful I didn't go smaller. After all is settled in, they are perfect for me. Going any smaller than 425 HP and I would have been disappointed. My PS read me so well and gave me everything I ever dreamed and more! Good luck!

Happy One Year! They are probably now settled, dropped, and fluffed. What is your bra size now? I think I'm leaning to 425cc =D Yours look so amazing! I love the cleavage and side boob without looking top heavy.

I am actually doing my surgery with him on Dec. 11th. I really love his vision and how well he works with me and explains everything. I was referred by a friend to him who also knew other's who went to him for his lollipop lift. I cant wait, just a few more days away. I am doing a lift with 330 CC HP Textured Implants.

Hey love! I jus read your story and I think it may help if you could post a photo! And yessss bood greed is sooo real! From my understanding you do loose some volume if you go under the muscle. From what I have actively read upon here and read from PS, its close to 50 cc. I personally just had mine done 6 days ago and I was set on 225 cc until 3 min before i went into the OR! LOL I then had major last min boob greed and went with 250CC and am I ever glad I did! So, just a heads up in looking at other procedureal factors that may influence the result of your outcome! Keep us posted xx

Wow 3 minutes before haha I can see myself in the same situation. Thank you for the suggestion. Did your PS suggest cc by your bwd (breast width diameter)? I'm trying to see if other girls go over that number and get results they were looking for rather than wishing they have gone bigger? Trust your instincts right?! lol

Yes he told me to go 225 cc he said 250 should be the absolute MAX! They told me 200cc would have even given fuller breasts and would have been suitable for my frame. But in the end he said I just don't want u to be like " I should have gone bigger". So I decided to go with the max HE was comfortable with. Might as well right? Lol Wish pics also help them a lot. I showed him ONE girl only. I didn't confuse him by showing him and bunch I found a girl that was the most similar to my frame and breast shape. If you look at my profile it's there, hope that helps.

Hey good luck if you go with him :) in the meantime you should have other consults with different surgeons just to see your options :) I have an appointment with him once but I didn't show up I don't even know why but I'm still looking for a surgeon to do my BA
November 26, 2014
Check out Dr Pousti in San Diego , most amazing PS ever and best decision I ever made :)

Thank you for the suggestion! I chose him because my gf got hers done there and they look amazing, checked out his work on his website and majority of his patients had the look I was going for, yelp reviews was all 5 stars, had a consultation with him (2x) and was very helpful informative and patient with my questions. His staff is very helpful and I keep emailing them about my questions and has quick responses.

Pre-Op

I have been so busy to update my ba journey because of school and work. Finally I have the time to share my experience. I had my pre-op appointment with Dr. Kearney on May 18 and went through paperwork, paid for my surgery all cash because I did not want to worry about financing, and make our last decision on the size. With my previous visits we had discussed to get 400cc hp mentor and our final decision on pre-op was 425cc hp allergen silicone. The reason being is that I have decided to go under the muscle and feel that I will lose some projection. Mentor 400cc hp bwd 12 projection 5.0 and Allergen 425cc bwd 12 projection 5.2. This whole time I was worried that I was going to be too small and regret on the size. So we decided on allergen because you lose a couple cc's under the muscle. He prescribed me just vicodin and a anti-nausea sticker that I will putting behind my ear. I called later today to ask Katy if I needed a muscle relaxer and antibiotics and she said usually Dr. Kearney does not prescribe that and thought that was odd since I read so many other stories here on real self. My scheduled date is on May 26 and won't find out the time until the Friday before. I'm so excited and nervous at the same time. This will be my first big surgery and don't know what to expect. Today I bought all my supplies bromelain (will take 3 days before surgery), Arnica (to take after surgery), front clip sports bra, and coco butter. I am taking 2 weeks off work and hopefully thats enough time to recover. If anyone can tell me their experience or have any suggestions for pre-op or post op I would gladly appreciate it!

Hey! Does dr Kearney do blood work for pre-op or just a pregnancy test?
