For most of my life I have been overweight, within the past 6 months I have lost 35 pounds. My highest weight was around 213 my freshman/sophomore year of college. Starting my weight loss journey at 206 (August 2013) and now weighing 171 (February 2014,) I have decided I would like to go forth with a breast augmentation due to the fact of all the lost volume in my breast. My mother has really encouraged me through this journey and so have many of my girlfriends, with a few exceptions. I would still like to lose another 20 pounds, putting me in the 150s. I'm between 5'8'' and 5'9'' so I'm not exactly sure what the best weight for me would be.

I have had three consults with three wonderful plastic surgeons, and have decided to go forth with Dr. David Mobley of Sarasota Plastic Surgery Center. Dr. Mobley's staff is wonderful and made me feel very comfortable right away. Before my examination Dr. Mobley asked me a series of questions: saline vs silicone, my desired size and reasons for choosing this surgery. During my examination he informed me that I needed a minor lift (due to weight loss.) This is something I had thought of prior but because the other two surgeons didn't mention it I thought I was in the clear. Dr. Mobley explained the procedure and why it was best for me. Walking me through all of the Pros and Cons, I immediately knew he was going to be my surgeon because he had surpassed all of my expectations! He spent a great amount of time with me and made me feel very confident with the procedure.

My procedure: Breast Augmentation with a Periareolar Mastopexy using High Profile Silicone Breast Implants.

I haven't decided on the CCs but I'd like to be a "Perky" full C possible small D. I'm worried about going too big, so if you have any thoughts, please share! My surgery was originally set for May 15th (5 days after my 21st birthday) and my mother has encouraged me to push the surgery date up. So, as of last Friday, it is now April 17th. I am doing this for me and only me! I'd really like to feel confident and beautiful in my skin! Reading other women's blogs on Realself has been extremely helpful and very encouraging, so here I am, hoping to do the same thing!

Congratulations on your weight loss! I'm also very excited for the next chapter of your story. I think it's wonderful you're doing a lift along with your implants. I often read about women needing a lift a few years after their breast aug so good for you. Any scars you may have in the beginning, will become barely visible within a year or so. Glad to hear your mom is so supportive...and some of your friends too. Regarding your new size, have you tried making rice sizers at home to experiment with possible implant sizes? Looking forward to your updates!

Dr Mobley did my implants and I am totally pleased with results. My best advice is follow what he recommends. He went with larger cc's than I had planned and he was totally correct as he is the expert. I would have gone larger looking back but am totally satisfied. Do. to be fearful you are in the hands of a professional. Best of luck and enjoy a healthy lifestyle and congrats on your success of weightless.

I ended up going with more CCs than I had originally intended. Everyone keeps telling me to go bigger than I want! He ordered me two implants, 400-425. I left it to him to choose on the day of surgery. I'm ready for it to be here :-)

The ones on the left look like mine! (Minus the scars right now) good choice! I would definitely go a little bigger. Everyone always plays it safe and then ends up disappointed and wating them bigger. I have 465 high profile silicone :)

I ended up with 595cc, I previously had 425cc, and I'm SO much happier that my PS suggested going bigger during my revision. It's a world of difference, I love them!

Here are some pictures of my before and after weight loss.. My current weight is 162. Would still like to lose another 20-30+ lbs. Still undecided between 375-400cc but I'm starting to lean towards 400cc. Any advice would be greatly appreciated :-) I've been told numerous times to make sure I go big enough so I won't wish I had gone bigger later on. Ultimately I think I'm going to leave it to Dr. Mobley to decide. Will be posting pictures of my chest area shortly!
