For the past few weeks I've been obsessed with RS, reading review after review trying to find girls with my same stats just to get an idea of how they will turn out. Here's a little more about me:
Petite
5' nothing (possibly 1/4")
115-119lbs (depending on what I've been eating and/or drinking)
32B or 32C at VS
Workout 4-5x/week
Very physical job (massage therapist)
I've chosen to do my surgery (if I do it) with Dr Jugenburg who has great ratings on RateMDs and great reviews on RS. I've had my consultation and went back twice to try on different sizes. I'm about 95% sure I want to do the procedure and reading all these reviews just make me want them more. But at the same time, gives me insight on what to expect, the good, the bad, the ugly.
I'm currently considering either 385cc or 415cc (not sure if they're moderate or moderate plus) and leaning more towards silicone. I know it probably won't make a huge difference between both sizes, but I've seen so many times how Women wish they had gone bigger. I'm hoping to do a fitness competition next year and my PS recommended that silicone would be better as they ripple less than saline and will look more natural when I lean out. However the head nurse, Kim (who has been amazing) has told me that I can get away with saline because I have enough breast tissue. Any other fitness girls out there who had the same issue? What did you guys decide and how do you find them?

Surgery officially booked
I officially get new boobs on June 2nd! Papers signed and deposit paid. Was going back and forth if I could afford to take the time off work and if it would be worth it but this site certainly has the effect of making you believe they are. I've been small my entire life, no kids (yet) and I've been wanting to be bigger for as long as I can remember. I don't think it's hit me yet that in about 44 days, that dream will actually be a reality. Right now just trying to decide between silicone vs saline, MP vs HP and 385cc vs 415cc. Decisions, decisions. Going back on April 21 to try on the sizers again and speak to Kim about options. I definitely want it to be a well thought out decision and not just an impulse. Time to build my wish boob gallery

Just a pointer, ask to try on the same size in both the right and left. It will help figure out the right size and try to wear something more form fitting to get a good look at the size and shape. Go with the look you desire. You are getting surgery a few weeks before me. I look forward to following you and how it went!

Thanks for the pointers! I will remember to do that when I go back to try on the sizers again. They always say to wear something loose, I guess to fit over the sizers but wearing something more form fitting actually makes more sense to get an overall idea of the look you're hoping for :)

Having a 'what did I get myself into?!' moment
So, a couple of things happened since I booked my BA. The clinic sent me my consent form package, and I gotta say, it's quite alarming and discouraging at the same time. I mean, I know there are risks with surgery, I know that with a BA my breasts won't be perfect, I know that my irregularities may be emphasized and I know that 'perfect' is impossible to achieve. However, its the complications that can come along with any surgery, reading one after another, that had me weary. Will it stop me from getting my surgery? No. I trust my PS, I am being honest with my health history (although I haven't been under a general anesthetic before) and I honestly believe in my heart that all will be ok. But to read complication after another just made me feel uneasy. Initial and sign each page so we can't be sued is pretty much what this package is telling me.
The other thing that happened was I started to think about having kids. Now wait, I'm not actually thinking I want kids now, but in the future. I know, I'm 34, approaching my scary age of 35 (when apparently more complications are common for pregnancy) and I should possibly maybe think of getting my BA after kids. But honestly: 1) I know for sure I don't want them now and 2) I don't know when I will want them and if I ever want to. I've been reading online that breasts change after pregnancy and breastfeeding and I started to wonder if I'm just wasting my money if I go ahead with my BA and decide to have kids in the future. Any women out there who've had a BA done and had kids after? Did you have to get them redone? Would you have waited?
So there's where my head is at. The consent forms, I can deal with. But breasts after kids? Will I need a revision? Am I making a mistake? My honest opinion, I'm a seize the day kind of girl and my gut is telling me to just do it. Don't let this change your mind because, you know what, you never know what will happen. Don't let anyone or anything change your mind or sway you into thinking that you need to do something if you don't want to or don't need to. Always base your decisions on what makes you happy, not someone else

Hey girl, I am in that boat with you. I haven't had kids either and I am 34. If this is what you want, we are already 34, why wait any longer. I don't think your dream of being curvy is a waste of money. People have said wait til after kids but do I really want to wait 3 more years? No. Go after your dreams, you can always have kids and I'd worry about doing or thinking about that stuff later. You are not selfish for wanting to feel good.

Thank you linj9! You're absolutely right. Definitely go after your dreams and never base your decisions on what other people think is the 'better' choice or what you 'should' do :)

How is it going?? any new news??

May 18, 2016
Hey! Sorry for the delay in response. I've been negligent in keeping my review updated. But all is good. Nothing really new. I sent in my consent forms, my bloodwork, just need to make my final payment and I'm good to go. I'm almost 2 weeks away which is when I have to stop drinking alcohol and stop taking all supplements and vitamins. I'm currently feeling ok but I'm sure as the date gets closer I'll start feeling the emotions. How have you been doing? Your surgery is so close!!

I've been great!! Keeping busy and the time has FLOWN by! It's crazy I will have my new girls next Monday! Haha yes!!! I'm sure I'll get nervous the day of surgery, but as of now! Totally excited and ready to be on the other side w new tatas! :)

My stats are the same just 10lbs less. I work out 4-5x a week. Dr.Jugenberg was my surgeon. I went with 345cc HP silicone. I love my boobs and the size suits my frame. You will lose 40-50cc once they are in. I was a 32B,
I can fit into 34C but it feels lil tight if I want it comfy then it's 32D.
He's very honest! He was there for my follow up appts. Haha yea, he's a little hard to read. My recovery went well. It did suck not being able to work out half of your body for 6 weeks. I had to keep the dressing on for almost a month and not having a proper shower was hard. Your boobs will look really weird for the first couple of weeks. I was on the pain medications for only 4 days. Can't wait to see your results!
I think bc of my smaller frame, 385 or anything bigger would make my chest too obvious.
