Hello ladies. I am a mom of a 21 month-old little...

Hello ladies. I am a mom of a 21 month-old little girl and I'm about to turn 40 in a few months. I decided I wanted new boobs in 2015 as new year-new me resolution. Also being that I don't plan on having more kids, I feel like this is a good time. Also talked to my husband about it, and he was very supportive, Yaay! I had small boobs all my life but being that I've had a svelte figure all my life, I was always comfortable with my small boobies because they were perky enough to not even need a bra sometimes and I felt they fit my body. I went from size A to 34B when I was pregnant, I then decided to exclusively breastfeed my baby, which left my boobs deflated after I breastfed her for 14 months. During the days that I was weaning her off, I was going through the swelling and painful withdrawal discomfort but my boobs got gigantic (I guess from all the milk filling up). I attached pictures. They were very painful but I LOVED their size and wished they would stay that size. Well a few days later, I couldn't believe how deflated and small they got. It left me depressed about my body and not feeling sexy. I then started wearing more padded bras and even sometimes doubling bras just to fill my tops better. Anyway, I readily found this site through Google and since then, I have mainly just been reading a lot of member's stories; all very inspirational and educational. I did find a reputable plastic surgeon in Sarasota, FL (1hr and half from my house): Dr Scott. 2 weeks later, I went to my 1st appt with Dr. Scott, who had a amazing staff, and he himself was really good at talking to me and addressing all my questions. I felt comfortable right away with him, so I decided to book my procedure that same day, for April 16th. I still do need to go back on March 26 for my pre surgery appt, to get more questions addressed, try some sizes and decide how big I want to go. I am thinking about going at least 400CC, or maybe 470CC high-profile. I don't want them to be ridiculously big but I don't want to go through the surgery and coming out with a size that I won't be satisfied with. I guess a case of boob-greed haha
I hope 470CC won't look too fake on my frame but I want to go as big as I can get away with. I am 5'9, 140lbs. What do you guys think? Would that look too "fake" and big? I appreciate any ideas and suggestions. Thank you for taking the time to read my story.

Hi! I am asking the same thing! I am 5'10 145 and am wondering the same about size. I want them big but not dolly parton like! I think with our height and frame we are able to maybe get away with more CC'S. Your breasts looked amazing while breastfeeding!! Hope you get the look you want. I go in next week for my surgery!

Hi there ;-) thanks for stopping by. Yes! I so agree with you, definitely don't want them on Dolly parton level, haha but I definitely think we, being tall girls, we can get away with at least a size D, or bigger. The worst thing would be to go through the surgery and come out still dissatisfied with the size. When is your surgery? Did you try any sizers you liked best? I am going in this Thursday, and hoping to try on some sizers just to gauge how many CC would work :)

I am 5'9", about 150 lbs. I am thinking of going 450 tops. I purchased some purlz sizers online and likes the look of the 375 ccs so I figure once under muscle I should go at least 425-450. I agree that height gives us more room to play with. Lol. I hope all goes well for you. My surgery is scheduled for April 7th. I am just waiting for my day.

Aww good luck with your procedure! I bet you are excited and nervous :-) yep being tall does help carry upper 400CCs better. I am still undecided how many CCs to go, but 450 sounds like on the safe side. I will be following you to see your progress. I will also google Purlz sizers; never heard of them :-)

The Purlz sizers are essentially rice sizers already filled based on what you start with (A/B cup) and what you intend to go to (C/D cup). I had sizes, 325, 350, and 375 cc. I thought that'd be plenty but now I'm comfortable considering 400-450 tops. I think I paid $80 for them. I saw lots of information online about making them at home too. I am so friggin excited! Talked with one of the PS nurses yesterday and she was again going over my history, etc so they can order several implant sizes for the day of surgery and get my prescriptions sent in. So it has almost become a reality. 2 weeks! :-)

Hey Dwilliams! Today is the day. Congrats!! Hope you're feeling ok.

Hi there Riemma5, I think 400cc would probably b small for you being that ur tall. Being that ur tissues done already stretched due to breast feeding u could most likely go bigger. I just had mines done Wed. n I'm short. I was a small B cup. My surgery Bra I went home in is a 38 D n I'm still swollen. Alot of girls wish they have gone bigger due to picking a size they thought so they wouldn't b top heavy. That is what I was afraid of. The sizers n 3D vectra gives u n idea but it's still kinda iffy.

Hi Beasia05, thanks for your input and congrats on your surgery! You look great! I think you are right! Being tall does help carry a bigger size more "naturally". Your pictures look great with the 500 Cc. I think 38 D final size might work for me so I'll ask my PS to aim for that. I am getting silicone gel though, so not sure how they compare to salines (density and overall sizing) though. I'm so confused as my surgery is getting closer. Hope your recovery is going well, and keep us posted with new pics ;-)

I'm a mom of 3, I had my breaststroke done 2 years ago. Got pregnant (oops) 2.months after surgery. Breastfed for a year and was a DDD34 while nursing. I'm 5'9 and back down to 145lbs. I'm still a DDD/DD my right breastfeeding sights higher and has some "drooping" of the muscle. Spoke to my doc about it and as he examined them he suggested trying to rebuild the muscle as what I am seeing is BARELY noticeable to anyone but me. I have 450CC silicone gels. I love them and blame them for my pregnancy lol.

Sorry breasts done* not breaststroke

Awww lol that's cute :-) Congratulations on your baby :-) :-) Are you still breastfeeding now? I guess breasts just do their own thing through breastfeeding and after weaning off. They might not change too much though but maybe pectoral exercises will help maintain. How did you like the 450CC under muscle right after surgery? I bet they were perfect!! We have the same stats, so I might also go with 450 CCs :-)

I think you should go back to size you were when breastfeeding. They looked great! The size in cc's looks different on different people I think so it's difficult to tell but I think as you are taller, it sounds like you can go a bit bigger so yeah, that size sounds good. Good luck! x

Thank you Dear :-) you are so right, I love the size I was when breastfeeding. Those are my wish-Boobs! Lol I am leaning towards 425-450 CCs. Hope I'll be happy with the size I end up with. It would be so dreadful to go through the procedure and not like the end result. Yikes I'm getting nervous as the day is approaching. 5 more days to go!

Size while I was breastfeeding

Boobs before the big deflation. I would actually be happy if I get back to this size with the implants.

I know the feeling of having big perky boobs then the deflation. Mine went down tremendously! But at least you don't have any sag. I have a little droppings but I don't need a lift. Later I will my Dr. said. You're gonna look sexay! My surgery is May 8th and so excited. Good luck!

Typo* droopiness

I know the deflation is horrible! Yes good thing mine didn't sag even though I exclusively nursed (no formula at all) for 14 months. Maybe it's genetics because my mom had 8 kids and hers are still somewhat perky in her mid-60s. Like you said, with my height I am hoping I could go up to at least 460cc without looking to fake. 10 more days to go! Good luck on your surgery, I'll be following you!

*450Cc* I meant but what's 10 more Ccs lol :-)

I'll be following as well. And i hear many women say if you like the look of a certain size, go up by 50cc's. Because you'll lose so volume if going under the muscle. I'm 5'6 115lbs but I'm seriously thing of going with 475cc 500cc. I was a D in high school and swell up to a DDD while nursing. So I have the skin for it but my Dr will use sizers intraoperatively. Personally I think you could carry a 500 or even 550cc.
