Ok, so I'm not one of those girls that's always dreamed of big boobs. In fact, I've always been kind of anti-augmentation... I believe in be happy with the body I was given and not going to surgical extremes to alter what is good enough. Well that tuned started to change after I nursed a baby for a year... and now that she's almost 10 they just keep drooping. I'm getting close to 40 and I joke that I have to roll up the girls like tube socks and tuck them into my barely 34B bra. I'm extremely active (rock climbing, mtn biking, stand up paddle boarding, martial arts, teaching yoga, to name a few) So I pretty much live in tank tops and sport bras. When I get dressed up I just use one of my man super-padded push up bras to get the cleavage I want. I've had 2 consultations over the past 2 years with the same PS. He's been great every time in explaining the procedure and listening to my desired outcome and concerns. But I just haven't been ready... until NOW. It coincides with finally having enough time off to recover properly without damaging the goods (between jobs right now), and also wanting to increase my self-esteem by being able to wear my favorite sporty tops without needing a padded push up sport bra! haha. So after a lot of research, talking with friends with similar lifestyles who've had BAs, and most helpful.. this website, I've decided to go with Sientra textured shaped round base implants (based on my dimensions). I'm 5'4" and stay between 115-122lbs typically. I had my pre-op yesterday and took some different tops, bras, bikinis, sundresses, to try on with sizers. My biggest fear is being too big or looking obviously augmented. I just want to be filled out and be perky even without a bra. Even my daughter said "please don't get big boobs mom!" So after a very thorough pre-op I've narrowed it down to 270cc or the next size up- 320cc. My breast width diameter was shockingly wider than I would've thought. I thinks the PS said 14. So he recommended going with 320s to fill out my saggy bags and have little bit wider base of that implant. But he really seemed to understand and reiterate to me my desire to err on the side of too small. So both sizes will be ordered and he will try both on surgery day to see which gets the conservative look I'm going for while being the best cosmetic/aesthetic appearance. My husband is a dear heart and has never pushed my decision, has always worshipped me just as I am. But also fear me looking too big post-surg. I definitely am not trying to attract attention to myself. And don't want to be self-conscious to the other extreme of being noticed for my boobies first when we're out climbing, biking, etc. He and I both like the look of 320cc we've seen on this site, but feel that 270cc might be more practical/utilitarian, haha! I work in physical therapy and have very close contact with patients and don't want the girls getting bumped frequently during sessions : ) I am scheduled for surgery in 9 days and am getting so excited. Just wondering if anyone has last minute opinions, feedback, or advice that have had similar cohesive gel implants in that size range. Any regrets? Thanks so much in advance. I'm getting into the obsessive freak out zone and hope all goes well now that I've waited so long to do this!

OMG...Good luck on your surgery (tomorrow?) I hope you do go smaller, I just responded back to your post to me and read all of your profile...you said so many of the things I did/believe. I didn't think I would be the kind of person that alters my body either...just be warned you most likely will have a cycle of feelings after the procedure from "OMG finally, they are awesome" to "what the hell did I do to myself!" Stay positive and small! Seriously, it won't make much difference anyway (like the doctor says) but if it is in your mind to just get perky and full then yes I really suggest small, you will love that they are firm and full, but won't have to second guess if you are a bit too big! My husband is finally getting used to mine (one is 8 months and I had a revision on the other 1 month ago) and they are looking much better, super natural for the most part, but he still feels smaller would have been better (and I feel it would have been more inline with "me" the old me).
Good-luck and keep us posted!

I really appreciate your honesty, especially coming from the same perspective as me... That's given me a lot to think about tonight and visualize how I will feel after. Im glad that both sizes will be available in Monday morning so I have more time to mull it over. I race mtn bikes and definitely wAnt to err in the safe smaller side. And my surgeon is welllllll aware of how I feel about that! He respects my choice and said he'll go with 270cc if 320cc looks overwhelming to my frame/function. He's not a "bigger is better" kind of doc. Thanks again... Btw- what is your height/weight average?

More before photos. 7 1/2 days to go... but who's counting?! : D
Thanks to all the wonderful reviews and experiences shared for pre- and post-op, I've got a list going of things to pick up this coming week. I feel a lot more at ease knowing what to expect and tips on what will make me more comfortable in the days after surgery. I've put this off for so long... mostly because I'm so scared to go under for a surgery that is totally optional. But the more I educate myself and become more confident in my choice, the less fear I have of the unknown. Thank you all so much! It really is a [RS bleep]-sterhood : ) I would be a lot more scared I'm sure without being able to read others' journeys and and what they would or would not do differently having been there, done that.

As far as scar gels, it sounds like Kelo-cote is highly recommended. What about silicone gel steri-strips. Any opinions on scar control once incisions have healed?

Wow i think you look great as you are! :)

January 20, 2015
Well gee, thanks : ) A little perk em up will definitely boost my confidence though, and allow me to wear more things without a push-up padded bra! haha
