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?

Hi cfabz, I got 350cc silicone moderate plus. I have similar stats to you and after the swelling goes down post surgery (2 weeks out) 350cc gave me a full C. If you are seeking a D cup, go towards 400cc or 415cc as you tried on.

Thanks for replying c_bella! My PS actually first gave me 345cc to try on and I thought those were huge. But when I tried them on again I felt they were small for what I was looking for. I'm leaning more towards the 415cc. Yours look great, and natural even though it's only 2 weeks out. I know you were thinking maybe you should've gone bigger but I look forward to following your progress and see how they change :)

Hey! I am 5´4, and 130 lbs, compete in bikini fitness. Just had my BA yesterday. I showed my PS photos of what I wanted to look like (I wanted to go rather bigger than smaller), and asked for about 400-420 cc, but trusted him with the final decision, as it is always his final call. He put 470 cc in me and I LOVE IT!!! Would not have gone any smaller, even with my small frame, they look perfect (will upload photo as soon as possible). I think with your measurements the 385-415 cc will look good, but remember that the implants always look smaller when they're inside you (compared to when you "try them on". I've heard that you should pick 25-50 cc larger than you are satisfied with when trying on. I did however not try any on with my PS but just told him what I had in mind and showed him pictures. I'm all for going with it, have been wanting it for years and years, and finally can feel more confident and feminine on stage :) Good luck to you :)

Thanks so much for your input! I've read that they will be smaller when they're under but also read that a lot of women wish they had gone bigger. I'm definitely leaning more towards 415cc but I'm hoping they won't look too fake or make me look top heavy. I'll be going back in to talk with the head nurse and my BA to get more input. Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Yes I had also heard so many women wishing they gone bigger, because when the swelling subsides, and they get used to them being there, they don't find them too big anymore. So I shared this concern with my doctor and told him that I would want to go rather bigger than smaller, and he told me that compared to my wish pictures, that 400-420 would do, but when I woke up he told me that they just looked too small on me, so he put 470 cc. And I'm really glad that I trusted him with the decision, I'm very happy with the size, and it's just how I imagined them. Just can't wait for the pain and swelling to go away. Thanks so much for your good wishes. I hope you will have an awesome outcome and I think you're right about leaning more towards to 415 cc :) I will be excited to see what you choose, good luck! :)

As long as you're happy with them, that's all that matters. Did you go with saline or silicone? Mod, mod+ or HP?
User Avatar
April 15, 2016
I went with HP silicone submuscular. I felt that the high profile would look best on my frame.

Hey! How's your recovery going?

Hey there, it's going good, thanks for asking :) I'm 8 days post-op but the days just can not go by fast enough lol :) I feel like my whole life is "on hold" while I don't get to exercise and be in my normal routine. But hopefully in just a week I can start doing cardio and lower body exercises, and in 3 weeks I can go back to normal training :) The recovery has been a bit harder than I thought, I've been very uncomfortable, especially at night and in the mornings, as I have to sleep on my back, and can't move much so I get very stiff and achy, but the past 2 days have been far better than the first few days, so I'm staying positive that it's getting better! But it's all worth it, I'm thrilled with the results, and can't wait for the final outcome! Going to see my PS for my post-op in a little less than a week. Have you decided on a date already?
April 15, 2016
Hey there stats are very similar! I'm going for my girls in May! Leaning towards 350CC HP mentor brand super excited about them
User Avatar
April 15, 2016
May is coming up quick! I'm having the same issue you did when deciding between mod+ and HP and teetering between 385cc & 415cc. I'm worried the HP would look too fake on my small frame but I think the mod and mod+ are wider in dimension from what I'm told. I'm so confused! Looking forward on following your journey through this process :)
April 15, 2016
Oh girl tell me about it!! Yeah if I do mod + I have to get a ridiculously small amount of CCs no thanks. So I'm def stuck on the HPs that way I can get more CCs! Def following ur journey too!! :)

Hi

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.

Hey! How did you like Dr Jugenburg? Did he make you feel comfortable before and after the surgery? I currently feel like he's very knowledgeable and knows what he's doing and a very straight to the point type of Dr. Not condescending or arrogant but sometimes I wish he would crack a joke or something. How did your recovery go?
April 21, 2016
Hey!
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!

How did you finalize on the size you got? Was it the size he recommended?
April 21, 2016
He actually recommended a smaller size. (260cc) I think he's all about a natural look than a Barbie look. My range was 260cc-385cc. Kim gave me a second opinion 345 or 365... And loved the 345. There wasn't much difference btw the two.. Only 20cc.
I think bc of my smaller frame, 385 or anything bigger would make my chest too obvious.
April 23, 2016
My name is Melissa. I am CPT and a Fitness competitor. I am 2 1/2 weeks post. I was a 36B and got Saline under the muscle implants. 325cc. I love them. I went with a smaller implant because I already had some breast tissue of my own. I compete in my second show In October. I went back to working out this past Wed(2 wks post). Not my chest of course..that will be a few months but I am working everything else!!
April 23, 2016
And I did Moderate plus!!!

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!
User Avatar
April 19, 2016
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

User Avatar

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 :)

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!!
May 18, 2016
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! :)
