After months of looking online at Picts and reviews I have finally booked a date!! I have always had asymmetric breasts and thought that if there was anything I would change it would be that.. After 2 kids, a total of 2.5 years of breast feeding, 2 episodes of mastitis later my husband and I decided to fulfill my dreams of near-symmetry (or as close as the surgeon can)! I am an RN and it took a lot of back and forth to finally decide.. From it is a lot of money to I am married so why need it to the polar I deserve it and will work the over time to pay it off. Knowing the risks also weigh heavily on me and I am athletic and wonder how that will impact my new boobies... But all in all I made the leap and scheduled.


I am still torn saline vs silicone but am leaning toward silicone because it is more natural feeling and my surgeon is going with a dual plane method but will let you know after per op appt in a few weeks!

I have been looking at so many pictures online I feel cross eyed..! I pass a stranger in the store and all I think is I love her boobs, I wonder if they are real or fake and what cc? I wonder if this is kinda what guys think but all of the time? Hehehe

Ok, Did anyone else size in a regular bra or in a sports bra? One thing I read was that since I am going under the muscle if u size with regular bras u lose 20% since it is compressed under the muscle? I am also thinking about high profile because of this and I don't want to look to wide.. Thoughts?

Next thurs is my pre op. I am thinking saline now due to my active lifestyle (prob re-do with silicone later 10 years) thinking 475 cc now poss high profile since under the muscle? I have some questions for my PS about my tissue quality and what he recommends for me since he is doing a dual plane method... Agh!!! So much to think about!!!! :)

Forgot to tell you I have a very active lifestyle .. Ride show jumping horses, workout, etc .. The 457 silicones don't seem like they will be too big

Due to my active lifestyle I was leaning toward saline... Can I ask why you chose silicone?

I wanted a certain look and feel and didn't want rippling. My girls have felt soft and natural since day 1! I have friends who have saline who have hear swooshing sounds, have had rippling and they didn't feel as natural as silicone IMO. Also when I showed my PS pics of how I wanted to look, that was his recommendation. Everyone has different opinions though saline versus silicone and you have to go with what you are most comfortable with. Either way you will love them!!! :-)
