My breast augmentation is scheduled for the end of January with Dr. Salemy. After breast feeding two children, my breasts lost a lot of volume and their shape. My nipples are sadly hanging too. I am currently a 34 AA cup size and am looking to be a small C cup afterward.
I used to be terrified of losing nipple sensation from getting breast implants but now I feel so self-conscious about my breasts that I don't even like to show them. So, why not get the implants and feel better about myself? I need some help deciding about the sizing to go for!

I'm getting Inspiras on Feb 26th! Have you thought of any sizes or profiles? That has been the worst part of the process for me so far. I'm 5'3" and 115lbs and have breastfed 3 kids. My boobs used to be a lot fuller but now they are very deflated and asymmetrical after pregnancy and breastfeeding. I'm going with 415cc full profile.
Good luck!
Good luck!

I used to work as a RN for a plastic surgeon. I always thought that the 300 ccs came out nice but there are so many variables!
December 23, 2015
In terms of sizing, show your surgeon a picture of your "wish boobs," and he or she will work with your body measurements to get you as close to your desired size as he can. You want to make sure that the surgeon will work within the confines of your body size. Oversize implants can cause havoc in the future. Good luck!

Thank you Sandraolivia :) I am nervous and still needing to look around for more wish boob pics!

I have similar stats and will be getting my surgery with Dr. Salemy next week. I've had a hard time deciding size too! I'm actually going to do final sizing day of and am torn between inspira smooth round moderate 275cc and 295cc. I'll be posting post surgery so hopefully that will help although everyone's outcome seems so different! Best of luck to you

Hi AureliaSL! I too will be getting INSPIRA implants in February. Have you decided on cc's yet? I have somewhat similar stats so would love to hear what you decided. I will definitely follow your journey. Best of luck to you this month!

Day of treatment
Surgery is finished! Got 310 cc Inspira implants :)
AureliaSLJanuary 27, 2016
I had my surgery this morning! Up until I was about to go into surgery, I was still debating between 310 ccs and 330 ccs. I had always been leaning towards 300 ccs and decided to stick with 310 ccs. I know that I am quite swollen but I actually hope they don't decrease in size too much. To me, the perfect size is a C cup! Crossing fingers that is what I end up with :).
I was quite nauseated after waking up from anesthesia. As far as pain goes? Keeping in mind that I've given birth naturally and so I consider childbirth 10/10 in terms of pain, this is maybe about a 5 with me with tylenol. I haven't used the prescription pain meds yet because I have this feeling that it will make me nauseated. I'd rather deal with a little bit of pain than having to vomit or feel like I'm going to vomit.

Congrats we a booby surgery twins lol I had mine done today too same brand 350 cc how is the pain for u? So far I feel just pressure,
January 27, 2016
I don't feel much pain. It really feels like I've done a chest workout and that's it. I'm glad to hear you're not in much pain either!
January 27, 2016
Lol yea exactly the feeling. Where did u get ur incision at? Did u get gel or saline
January 27, 2016
Same silicone. I had a maxoplexy lift around the nipple so he funnelled the implant thru the nipple which is awesome it'll have minimal to no scaring
January 27, 2016
Oh how are u feeling now day two I woke up middle of the night I couldn't even move wondering if u feel the same ? I'm thinking it's call morning boob
January 28, 2016
I had a hard time sleeping but eventually I did. Today, I had more back pain than anything. I took valium for the first time which helped but it made me really sleepy.
January 28, 2016
Yea I hear u everytime I take a pill I get extremely sleepy. Omg it's still so surreal we have boobs lol. I called my Dr for muscle relaxers they said it could do more harm than good I hear that Day 3 is gonna be better.
January 28, 2016
Let's hope so!! I'm so happy that I have someone to relate to during all this. Is your swelling increasing? It seems like every time I check, my chest is like an inch larger.
January 28, 2016
Omg yes and especially on the right boob. I expressed with my surgeon that with him putting 350cc in both that would make my breast look uneven with one have more volume than the other he measured said I was 1cm off and the idea is to create sisters and not twins... and after reading ALOT of post here I learned that it's too early to judge lol... so I'm anticipating the d&f. I trust him completely so I'm excited for the end results... yes I'm happy I found u too lol. I'm like omg we had ours done at the same time I have to respond lol
January 28, 2016
I managed to finally unbutton my bra but I couldn't put the thing back in ... when I first came home yesterday I was thinking oh man I didn't go big enough, but now that I officially took a peek I'm so satisfied. . Not too big not to large just right
January 29, 2016
I still kind of feel like I should have gone a little bit larger to be honest BUT what I have is such a huge improvement over what I originally had. Now, I don't feel sad when I take off my bra and look at myself naked in the mirror.
January 29, 2016
Omg same here I was so self concious I couldn't stand looking at what I had. So I have no regrets. As the days progress it's getting much better healing wise. Still a bit stiff butt not as bad as day 2.. ugh this boob greed is eating me alive lol.
January 27, 2016
Congratulations!! Can't wait to follow your journey! I think you will love that size, I got 295 and 325cc and I fit between a 34C and 32D (they are sister sizes so don't let the D scare you!) best of luck!!
January 28, 2016
Thank you! Do you happen to know what your ribcage measurements are? I am hoping that I got at least a C cup with the 310 Inspira implants that I chose.
January 28, 2016
I went with the Natrelle Inspira breast implant. It's the 410 style anatomically shaped ones.
January 28, 2016
good luck love. Im due 2/15. Tired of my 30AA , getting 240cc under the muscle high profile textured silicone and nipple correction. cant wait for the new girls!!
January 29, 2016
Haha! You know I feel the same way. I am so happy that I actually have boobs now.

Trying to remain positive...
AureliaSLFebruary 2, 2016
When I had arrived for my consultation, I had brought photos of the looks I liked, a bra with the cup size I was looking for and was hoping that I could receive some guidance in terms of how to choose ccs. I didn't get any sort of feedback from the surgeon/nurses in terms of what I should choose in order to get the look I was going for. The look I was going for was that of a 34 C cup. Now, it's very apparent that I am looking like a 34 B cup in my clothes and I am experiencing a bit of post-op depression as a result.
I know that I am only about 1 week out of surgery and there are lots of changes that can happen between now and the 3 month mark but I highly doubt that I will be increasing in size to the degree that I had originally wanted. These past few days have been really difficult in terms of thinking about having to accept a full cup size less than what I had originally wanted OR in considering having another operation. Either way, having a tough day today ladies.

I'm sorry. I can relate to this pain.my first ba was a letdown. I hope you will fall in love with your breasts though.

Yes, you do know :( How long after your first BA did you get your second one? Were you happier the 2nd time around?
February 2, 2016
I haven't had the second one yet. Explanted a couple of months ago, and wait for reimplantation.
February 2, 2016
Some women revise immediately, others wait trying to fall for the size they happened to not enjoy as much as they hoped they would. I know it won't be uplifting but pretty many of us choose the wrong surgeon, and, as a result,the size that isn't the best.
February 2, 2016
I'm sorry you are feeling depressed about your size, Sweetie. I think most of us experience a bit of an emotional rollercoaster following surgery. I hope that it passes soon and you fall in love with your outcome. xoxo
February 2, 2016
Try keep positive. It's still so early and they are going to change a lot. Possibly once they settle and fluff they will appear larger because the bottom will fill out more? They could just be high and tight so they look smaller than you had planned. Hopefully you get everything you were wishing for and try to give it time.
February 2, 2016
I am hoping that is the case! I will give it time. Thank you for your comment.
February 2, 2016
I have faith!! I really hope that you start to see changes, I saw huge improvement between weeks 1 and 2, so hopefully through this next week you will begin to see a better shape :) But all in all, just remain calm.. I know it must be hard to think that you are getting less than you wanted - none of us are paying for that. It's the reason we choose a certain surgeon, because we believe they will get us to where we want to be. Good luck and just remember theres a long way to go!
February 2, 2016
Yes, it really is hard. I just didn't know how much to choose. It honestly looks like I undershot the implant size by 50-75 ccs. I'm trying to stay positive. Your words of encouragement and progression pics help me out quite a bit!
February 3, 2016
Okay hold on hold on!!! 50cc is not visible to the eye. In order to see a difference you need to go up by 100cc. So please please please don't obsess over 50cc because I swear to you it would not visually make any sort of an impact to your implants. It is a thimble full of liquid.
I know it is easy to get held up on that amount, because honestly it seems like a lot, but in actuality - it isnt! I feel sometimes that I wish I would have gone for the 350ccs instead of 325cc but then I remember what I have read from ladies on here, and from what my own surgeon has told me, 25cc-75cc would literally make no visual impact to the implant inside your body.
Just keep positive as long as possible. A revision is always an option down the road. So hope is not lost my friend! Stay strong :)

Thank you :) The surgeon did a wonderful job with my boobs and they look great. So, I'm trying to focus on that rather than the size.
February 2, 2016
You explanted? When will you get another implant?
The surgeon I chose does absolutely wonderful work but I just didn't get much direction on the sizing to choose for my body. My breasts look 100% better than what they were before so I'm trying to think positively about it despite not reaching my goal. It is such a struggle and a definite emotional roller coaster.

Surgeon 's job also involves stuff like showing a range of options not only cutting, and stitching. Some just care to have the surgery over asap and that's it therefore some of us wind up in the place that's not very happy. Dont know when my ba is yet. We had the first pre op ( besides post op) on dec 23, second- last Wednesday , next on February 19. Last week I was worried this sizing thing is taking this long but quickly remembered how I regretted rush after my first surgery and feel at peace with the pace of events.
I am 5.6, had 335, which didn't suffice. I hope to go somewhere between 425-475 cc now.

I'm 40, 114 lbs - want to look full but not massive. Don't give up on your hope. You may fall in love with the way your size looks later on.
February 2, 2016
Thanks Maggie123 :) I hope so. I chose 310 ccs and I was not expecting to look like a B cup in clothing you know? So, I'll be following your story to see how things go for you. I hope all goes well the 2nd time around!
Good luck, I will follow your journey!
