Very new to this on-line community. Posting my goal pictures. Have 2 consultation appointments (with 2 different surgeons) on June 29th! I'm 5', 5 3/4" and about 135 lbs (athletic frame). Considering highly cohesive "Gummy Bear" implants with one surgeon offering a $500. price reduction for choosing that implant.

Very cool! :)

We are the same stats (I'm 5.5, 128 lb) was 34 B, and wanted a full C cup or small D
My wish pics are similar with yours and wanted gummy bears or dual plane procedure to get the results of that natural lower pole fulness.
I got 375 cc Allergan Textured implants, under muscle, inframamary incision.
I can't tell you much yet but I've seen nice results in here, it is a long process though with textured implants. I'm not in a position to give you some advice yet. But try to follow al those RS ladies that got textured and get an idea.
Good Luck!!! :)

Hi nicole3333 - great to hear from you! Very reassuring to see your stats and build (including breast size) is similar to mine and see your photos with similar size textured, round implants, sub muscular! Given our athletic build, I'm prepared for the rectangle shape at first, too. I imagine when the swelling goes down you'll find the round shape you're preferring. My surgeon said that for athletic ladies like us, textured is the best choice to avoid muscle animation. He said to recall when female body builders decades ago had implants and it was very obvious, especially when they flexed their chest muscles... apparently ours will move with the muscle as they are attached similar to velcro to the tissues. That makes me feel reassured! I look forward to your future posts of progress!! :)

You are very welcome :)
and a piece of advise I can give you since you are not planning to go too big, the less people you tell, the better! You definitely don't want to be in the spot light like a star, do you? lol
Talking from my experience, I got the surgery 10 days ago (meaning on Thursday, and I was able to get back to everyday life by following Monday, 11 days after, I even start my lower body exercise yesterday, and excuse my expression :) but my ass got all FLUFFED up instead of my boobs) and no one notice anything, as I always wear the push ups anyway before
Good luck with your surgery:)

Oh, such good advise, nicole3333! I know my PS won't let me resume yoga for 8 weeks, but I know I'll look forward to working abs and lower body (carefully) when allowed! LOL - about your ass getting fluffed up! Glad no one noticed anything with our return to the gym - I hope I can get away with that at the gym. No doubt they will know at my home hot yoga studio - all the sweet little tops are going to have go... they are tight to get on now. Thanks for your reassurance that the size I'm going with isn't too big! Shopping for new clothes should be fun! Thanks for the well wishes! :)

My boobies look just like yours and I'm thinking I'd have the same outcome. Did you get a lift too or just a BA? Also, do you wish you had gone smaller or larger? You look fabulous!

Hi Neighbor! Thanks for the compliments!! :) No lift - thankfully, so just a BA. I was torn between 350cc and 385cc and I'm so glad I opted for the 385cc. They look and feel HUGE at first and then you adjust to them and then the swelling disappears. I was used to being naturally enlarged when nursing, so it wasn't as big of a shock as it would have been if I'd never experienced pregnancy and nursing. I'm very happy with what I have, but I do now understand "boob greed" talked about on RS. I think going to a 410cc would have been super awesome, too! Good luck! Lots of great surgeons in King County! :)

Where you totally satisfied with Dr. Stridde, is he someone I should look at? Thanks for the advice and I hope I have the same outcome you have. ;-)

I really appreciate the professionalism, care, qualification (board certified PS) and demeanor of Dr. Stridde. He provided a saline breast augmentation to my friend 20 years ago and hers still look great! I highly recommend him. :)

Thank you for sharing your photos! I got 255cc mentor textured memory shaped implants submuscular 2 weeks ago. So anxious for them to drop! Your pics give me so much relief knowing they are going to look amazing and I just have to be patient! You look fantastic!

Hoping these photos post onto my page for realself.com as Before/pre-op breast augmentation photos. Looking at all options including Saline versus silicone or the gummy bear/highly cohesive implant. I would like a full but, natural look. Breast fed for a total of six years. I'm ready to get my breast back to a fuller look, especially on the upper pole where the skin is loose!
