Hey ladies!! So I'm 21 going to be 22 in August. Getting my boobs done july 3! (Poor timing since its summer and the day before 4th of July) but it was the best time for me job wise since im a nanny and the family is taking a vacation for two weeks! Any other nannies out there? Or mommies too I guess-any tips and tricks? Like I said I'll have two weeks plus a few extra days of full recovery but I know you need like 4-6 of full recovery before picking up more than 22 lbs and over your shoulders. So I need 2-4 weeks of easy days. the one I watch will be 22 months by then. I'm nervous how to bathe him and putting him down for naps and if I have to leave putting him in the car seat. Any suggestions!? I figured we can be hillbillys and eat on the floor for a few weeks if I can't lift him in his high chair lol (which sounds worse than reality) but anywho I've wanted this for such a long time and im so excited and in shock im finally getting the opportunity to get it done!!!!! I've always been active my entire life and lately I've been loving the gym as in lifting weights ! I've seen an amazing amount of progress and im loving it! Sadly, due to medical reasons I had to stop for about four months but I'm back on track! I started up last week! I'm currently 129 pounds- I wanna be around 120 by my preop. I want to be as lean as I was before and gain more muscle (if not a little more than before) I've done a lot of research and I'm so happy I found Dr. Repta. I haven't found one negative thing about him. Meeting him and his staff in person for my consultation and emailing them has made me feel so confident in my choice! So I'm currently a b cup- used to be leaning towards an a but since I haven't worked out in a few months im back to my normal size. I'm hoping to b a d/dd depending on how it looks of course. I wanna be like damn! But not ewh that's too much. I think a d would suit me more but I guess I'll have to see once I try on my sizers which im SOOOOO excited for !! Dr. Repta talked about going for about 500-600 cc's after telling him I was an a/b looking for a d/dd I have a feeling it'll be less than that but again we'll have to wait and see! He suggested going half under the muscle which I believe is called dual plane? Any other ladies have this done? I was a little taken back since I never heard of this technique before but I've been reserving it of course. I always thought it was just under or over the muscle. Im also wanting silicone, high profile implants. Would love to find ladies the same stats as me or close to it!!

I have a 2yo & a 4yo and I only have someone to help me with them for 3 days. The only thing I can suggest is start training the little one to get up in the car seat on their own and start having them do more so when the time comes you won't strain your self. I know a lady who had hers done and about a week after she picked up her 2yo and it messed up one of her boob, it looks off to the side now. You must be going crazy having to wait a few more months to get them done. I was obsessively researching leading up to mine it was driving my husband crazy lol. I had mine placed dual pane. My doc said it wasn't really possible to go fully under and he explained why but I can't remember, but I see other doctors say you can so idk. When I woke up the pain was about an 8 but got better after I took a Percocet and I ate. Now it's just pressure and my shoulder hurts way worse for some unknown reason. Just keep up on your pain meds it really helps, oh and I got the pain pump and I think that helps too. I got 535cc ultra high profile and am hoping the start looking bigger. I'll update you on how they look once they settle. Sorry for the loooong comment haha. Good luck

That's a good idea I guess come June I can have him start trying to climb into the car and stuff. I'm just not sure what to do about nap time /: what size were you prior to this I don't remember sorry lol. But yes I'm going nuts im driving my fiancé and myself crazy always looking at boobs!! How did you feel te second day? We're you very dependent on your husband still and need him?
March 23, 2015
I know how you feel, constantly looking at boobs. Lol. I actually feel good. Recovery isn't as bad as expected. Just feels like when your milk comes in. My shoulders hurt way more than anything else. As long as I keep up on my meds and ice constantly I'm fine.You just don't realize how much you use your pec muscles until you just go to turn a [RS bleep] or pick up a cup. My husband has really helped but starting tomorrow it's all on me. I was a 34a. They do look bigger just from yesterday.

Well that's good! I'm glad to hear recovery is going well I have a good pain tolerance so I'm hoping mine won't be too bad either(fingers crossed) I think I'm more nervous about any complications after surgery more than anything right now. And of course picking out a size im happy with. You'll have to keep me updated once they settle in what size you turn out to be !!

I'm 5'4 and about 120 lbs and my boobs are about 34 A or small B. My surgery is one week from today and I'm getting 535cc. You can follow my updates since we are close to the same size. :)

Oh yay thanks !! You'll have to keep me updated on how big they end up being and how they look on your body!

I will for sure! I'm so excited! I couldn't imagine having to wait months for the procedure, that would be so hard. As soon as I found the doctor I liked, I booked the surgery for the soonest they could get me in and that has still been really hard to wait for. Haha

Haha I know I wish I could go sooner but I'm taking advantage of the family I work for are going on vacation for two weeks so I knew that'd be the best and soonest time! Three more months til my preop yay lol hopefully it comes quickly I can't stop researching and looking at pictures it's driving me crazy !!

I'm excited for you!! Hope everything goes as you plan. I think 500-600 sounds great. I did 650silicone moderate and I was a 36 C-D before. I'm still healing but love them already

Thanks it makes me nervous because it sounds like so much I don't want to be too big and make me look like I'm heavy or something. I definitely can't wait for my preop to feel better about a size

Hello, I don't have the same stats as you, I'm slightly taller and heavier but I am 5 days post op after having 605cc in both sides. My surgeon was fantastic and used high profile silicone and the implants are placed under the muscle. Anyway, the points my surgeon made which I would like to share with you are: 1) the number 1 complaint women's have post op is that they wish they'd gone bigger 2) even if during sizing you feel the size is slightly too big, it's natural to feel this way because it's a sudden dramatic change. Over time, however, (much like when you get a big TV) you begin to get used to the size and are glad that you have that size. 3) if you want to look wow but natural go for the high end size of what suits your height and weight. Naturally, some women's Breast are large on all heights and weights so it is likely you can pull off a good size and still look natural. 4) definitely go for under the muscle (part or full) to get a natural , full look. If you don't have this the implants can just look like circles stuck on. 5) do not do too much chest work in the gym from now until your op. Women's who have very strong muscle in the chest may find it takes longer for the wall to loosen around the implant to create the natural (rather than constricted) look. Best of luck with your surgery, you will be so pleased you did it! I am already. Lucy

Thank you so much !! This was so helpful and made me feel so much better! I guess I'm just seeing so many women getting around 450ccs on average and my doctor is suggesting 500-600 it just seems like a lot. But I made rice dozers and I liked the look on me with to 500 and 600 ccs. Hopefully once I do my Preop I'll feel much better about the size

Homemade sizers !!!

User Avatar

I'm too excited I made my own sizers! One is approximately 600 cc's and the other is approximately 500 cc's. I think 550 575 or maybe even the 600 would be perfect! I felt the 500 were too small and I wouldn't be satisfied yet they look more natural. However I want a slightly bigger size. But I need to talk to the doctor because I'm not sure if after wearing a bra they'd look crazy huge ....

I suggest go a size bigger because they shrink a whole cup size! I've had mine done 3 times in a DD now started as an 34 A

April 1, 2015
Omg ! Yeah I'm sorta thinking 600 cc's it just sounds like a crazy amount I don't want to be like disgusting huge which they don't even seem that big when I put clothes over them and I was shocked trying on my sizers

I thought same thing..but I have 825ccs I'm not huge

April 3, 2015
Holy cow wow! That makes me feel better! I guess maybe our chest wall Is just a bit wider or something and able to fill more cc's ? It's weird how different everyone is there's a girl on here with my height and weight was an a and only got 425 cc's and is now a d/dd I feel like I need around 600ccs do that

Go to the higher end of what you think you'd like to be. Number 1 complaint after surgery is "I wish I'd gone bigger!!"

Hey lady! How accurate do you feel the sizers were? I just tried 465, 525 and both seem not big enough lol. I think they look more like moderate profile too, so maybe don't appear as big to me. What are conclusions postop?
User Avatar
July 11, 2015
I only like the rice sizers to get "used" to seeing yourself with boobs and maybe getting an idea of how big or small. I really don't think the rice to the actual implant is very accurate since the diameter and projection are just so different but it is good to get and idea like it helped me see myself with boobs. First it felt awesome and I wanted the biggest ones then I downsized and put more clothes on and just got used to myself having boobs and seeing what I'll look like. I brought them with me to my Preop. You can maybe put one sizer in one boob and an implant in the other to make you feel better like you know you're picking the right size since you've been used to seeing that size already. That's what helped me.
July 11, 2015
You're so helpful! Great advice. I already had my preop, so I'm a little bummed I didn't try sizers before now. I'm pretty sure the high profile will look like what I'm trying to achieve.
User Avatar
July 11, 2015
I'm sure they will! (: your doctor knows the look you're trying to achieve - scary to do but trust in him/her(:
But don't feel obligated to go with EVERYTHING they say- as it is YOUR body they're there for guidance (: excited to see your results !
