Hi RealSelf community! I had a breast reduction...

Hi RealSelf community! I had a breast reduction when I was 19, and now at 33, after 1 pregnancy and losing weight, I want volume back in my empty breasts. I've seen 2 doctors so far, Dr M Brown and Dr D Ford of Toronto, and have one more consult this week with Dr J Khanna. I've been told by the first 2 surgeons that I will need a lift for the best result, which I am fine with. I don't want to go too big, but I also don't want to be too small. My plan is to go with the Mentor round, smooth, cohesive gels, under the muscle: one doc said I should go for 330-400cc max for a natural look, while the other doc suggested anywhere from 350-450.
So far, I really like Dr Ford, but he doesn't have actual sizers to try on (the only downfall). He suggested rice sizers, which I've done with approx 400mls of rice. I also think I want the mod plus, but not sure if high profile would be better? I'm looking for a full, natural look vs a fake look. For reference, I'm 5'6", 174 pds and currently wear an empty 34D. I feel so confused, and would be interested to know what you think!

Surgery is booked! Wish pics and non-wish pics
After seeing a few doctors for consults, I have decided that Dr Ford is the doctor for me. Surgery is booked for June 16 in his Toronto clinic. EEEEEKS!! I'm so excited, but also nervous about ensuring I select the right size. I think I've made up my mind on 400 cc cohesive gels, mod plus, under the muscle. I do not want the fake boob look, and I don't want huge boobs either because I've experienced the back pain they've caused me before. I am also quite sporty, so I'd like to be able to run and wear cute tops/dresses without big boobs getting in the way, lol! Here are some wish and non-wish pics (I mean no offense to the individuals in the non-wish pics, but I am being honest about what I do and do not prefer. I also am aware that my results may not be perfect, but I'd like to be as close to that as possible!)

1 week to go!
My surgery is on June 16th and I'm both excited and anxious! I have so many questions
- what if I don't like them?
- what if they're too big?
- what if they're too small?
- will I regret this decision?
- could I have spent the $ on something else (i.e. around the house)?
- what if there are complications?
- what if they're worse after then they are now?
- will I get a blood clot? (my mother's main worry)
Gaaaahhhh. I'm all over the place. I have the devil in my head with all these worries, and then the angel on the other side saying everything will be FINE!! I am currently taking meds for generalized anxiety currently, and thinking about how real this will be in 1 week's time, my nerves are all over the place. I just keep telling myself to breathe and to remain positive, but I may request a sedative heading into surgery LOL.
My stats again:
33 y/o
1 child
175 pounds
5'6"
deflated 34D
decided on 375 cc - looking for fullness, not a huge chest as I've already experienced the inconvenience of a full chest and had a reduction when I was 19.
I will update with pics next week Fri or Sat! Eeeeeeks!!!

So exciting! It's just around the corner! Try not to make your self sick with worry. By reading other posts, it's completely normal! Just make sure you go with your gut and you ask all the questions you need to ask. After surgery, you'll have more over analyzing to do, so just be patient and tell yourself that it will all work out the way it's supposed to in the end. Remind yourself every day when you have these thoughts, that this too shall pass. It is quite the journey but hopefully you have good support at home and you always have the real self community here. :)

Exciting for you too! Something I wish I had done beforehand: ensure your expectations of your areolas size, shape and location is very clear to Dr Ford before going under. At almost 3 weeks, I feel like my areolas are not exactly what I was expecting, and I wish I better clarified this with him. I think I assumed he and I were on the same page, but now that I think of it, I could've been more clear. I'm hoping they'll change as I heal, but not sure the change I want is fixable without a revision (or if it's worth having a revision). Time will tell! I will see him next week and will discuss. This is not to scare you - I'd do it all over again, just ensure you're very clear about your expectations!
