All Nipples!! Considering Mentor MemoryShape Anatomicals - Seattle, WA

$6,500
I've always been flat chested. With very few exceptions, 32AA bras gap on my flat chest. And even if I'm lucky enough for the top of the cup to not gap, the center is basically empty. Honestly, the only reason to wear a bra is to provide some shape resembling breasts and to hide my very prominent nipples. After 2 kids (that quite remarkably, I was able to breastfeed!), my breasts are no less than they were, but that's nothing to cheer. I'm ready for some boobs!
I've probably browsed this site for ~1year, have made a few rice sizers, and think I'm ready. My consult was last month, and I felt very comfortable with the PS. Prior to the consult, I saw before and after photos of several of his patients. I don't think any had quite as little breast tissue as I do, but some were close! The results were very encouraging.
I'm 5'7", 120lbs. My BWD, as measured by my PS, is 12.5cm. I was told that, for several reasons, anatomicals are most suitable for me. My PS uses the Mentor brand.
In both the rice sizer and PS consult actual sizers, I preferred the 250cc. However, I really hate the "meatball" look and love the full-look that the balance of just the right gap in the middle with just the right amount of side-boob. If I can maintain the projection from the 250 sizers while giving a little side-boob and "filling in" the center appropriately, I would def consider ~275ish. There is one girl here on RealSelf, in particular, that has my Wish Boobs, for sure (and thank you sooooo much for posting the video today :) )!!! Though, I think she is starting with a little bit more (but not that much more, and I mean that in the most joyous, best possible way!!!!)
The bikini in my before photo is just about the most flattering bikini top I own. It is even slightly padded, and you can see the are around the nipple basically empty and wrinkled :(

2 months pre
consult visit
These are 250cc sizers at the consult. Considering I have basically nothing currently, they really felt huge at the time. I really like the proportion, but the more I look, I think I could accept a slightly larger size. I'm very conflicted. At the PS office, I basically only tried 250's and 275's and really preferred the 250's...but now I'm second guessing myself. I certainly don't have a cup-size target....I will be happy to just have boobs that suit my figure, lol!

I'm in the same boat! Are you for sure going with the Mentors? I'm debating those versus regular silicone. And if I were you, go bigger! I know you don't want to look fake, but most people say they wish they had gone bigger
October 14, 2016
My PS only uses mentor and strongly recommended the memoryshape anatomicals based on my lack of breast tissue, nipple position, etc. I was very hesitant and conflicted....until I found hinaflaca's review...I hope she doesn't mind me mentioning her. Basically, I'm for sure getting the mentor anatomicals.

May I ask, what's your current size and what size are u considering? I've found it pretty difficult to find many reviews of girls starting as flat as me. And that's been the biggest challenge and influence of my size preference. I think larger cc's look really pretty on most woman. But having so little breast tissue really influences the final appearance, I think. I'm 5'7, 120lbs, and FLAT...in fact, I'm a little surprised by the shadow of boob u can even see in my profile pic...the light caught it jus right, lol! I think if I had even a tiny amount more tissue, I'd be more willing to consider rounds.

I purchase 32a and don't even fill that out. Especially after breastfeeding, I have nothing left. I wad thinking about going up to a full c ay the very least
October 17, 2016
Finessgal..you look stunning! I don't think I could pull off larger breasts as well as u...i'm like straight a board (Asian) and have no hips or booty. I definitely have you beat in pre-BA flatness. U can see your crease....on me there's nothing, it's so pathetic. the first indication of boob is when you reach my nipple, lol!

Thank u hon! I hope that you get the size that you want (remember 150-200+) equals one cup size increase). Also, it may help to go to the store and buy a bra in the size that you like and tell the PS that you want to fill it out. You sound very tiny and I think that you may be happy with the size of my current implants... since you are starting with little breast tissue (like me), it takes a larger implant since it will account for 90% of your breasts (another ps told me this on my consult for a revision).
I wish you luck and sending good vibes your way!!! Xx

just had my consultation, currently I am 28aa or maybe even aaa. doc checked me and said I can do 125 to 200 because of little chest pocket for the implants. said if I went bigger i'd be getting melons. its best to show you surgeon what figure you want to achieve..
October 14, 2016
U sound so super petite! I bet 200 would look spectacular! Did u try on sizers? How did u like them?
October 17, 2016
no sizers. just pure blind trust to the surgeon and some imagination. I showed her the boobs I wanted and told me that was the sizes I could handle. she said when I am under anesthesia, she will slide on some test sizers, if it's too big she'll lower the cc's.

I can't say enough about how happy I am that I had this surgery. I look forward to reading about your journey and hope you keep us updated. If it wasn't for this site, I would have chickened out. I'm 4 months post and can't believe I didn't do it sooner. I was 34A and now a 34D I went with 400CC mentor smooth. Good luck to you!
October 14, 2016
I've had three BA's I would recommend going up so choose 275cc. Many women get buyers remorse on going the size down. If the implant is going under the muscle. Then definitely go the size up.
October 14, 2016
I had my BA almost a year ago.I had the same dimensions as you(5.6" and 120lb. breast size 32A).I did Mentor high profile 400cc. And they looks good.Now my size is 32DD or 34C. They doesn't look huge at all.And can recommend you go bigger.Hope good luck to you.
October 14, 2016
I have to says yours look great! But there was just something about the balance of anything over 275 that felt kind of off. Although, I have to acknowledge that at least part of that feeling is because I have basically nothing now! But, I'm not very curvy with a little booty, and I think that makes bigger breasts even more noticeable. Not that I don't want to be noticed, but I certainly don't mind most people not thinking "wow, she just got some big boobies".
October 14, 2016
Lol. That is 100% right.I didn't have a breast tissue at all.just nipples om my chest.But I was wearing double push up bras all the time that's why non of my friends didn't notice any changes in how I look now. Dont think about what others will say.Just make yourself happy!Wish you have a great day!
October 14, 2016
Also ask you Dr. what does he think and recommend you because they know how it will looks at the end and might have advice you something.

My preppy isn't until December, but basically the reply I got regarding 255 or 295 was that the 255 would be very appropriate for me. My biggest concern is width... my bwd is 12.5 and the implant is 11.3 I think. My favorite result I've found has the same implant and bwd of 11.5...so much closer to the implant width.
October 14, 2016
When I had 325cc mentor saline implants it looked moderate. I had a 32a before that BA 5'0 105lbs, not much tissue. Check out my pics if you'd like. Maybe that can help. Good luck hope you find a size you are comfy with.
October 15, 2016
Definitely go with an implant close to your bwd bc you don't want to have too much of a gap and they will look prettier also. Mine was 10.5 but I got implants 11.6 and 11.8 cm. (On the right side).
