I've always been a very small statured gal all around, and there definitely are prejudices against it. Being born small and skinny, people just assume I don't eat, are anorexic, or I'm so lucky to be naturally skinny. Well we all have our insecurities. Mine is that my body looks like a 12 year old and my face doesn't. I walk around with my kids and people have mistaken me for the babysitter! Only did I get curves when I was pregnant. Well not anymore! I plan on empowering myself by changing this. I already work out when I can and now I will be getting the long desired chest I've wanted. I'm starting with breast augmentation. I'm an 32A cup going to a DD. I've chosen Silicone 500cc High Profile implants. I also plan on doing a face procedure down the road to help with my age spots and fine lines. Hoping to look like the me I feel inside.

So hello and here's my 1st post on my journey.

YAY! Thanks girl. I actually had an appointment with another surgeon just to get a 2nd opinion, but after seeing Dr. Gorin. I knew he was the ONLY ONE! The staff was the best too, and I felt at such easy being there. Of course I'll post pics. I just am figuring out this site, so stay tuned. "BREAST FRIENDS I SAY!"

Idk how I just realized this, but I put June 6th for when I'm having my BA w/Gorin....correction..May 6th! lol! & I Just seen your pre-opt pics and you while you were nursing and I just have to say just by going by your nursing pics you're most likely going to wind up being a lot of ladies wish boobs on here, probably mine as well! haha :) Your cleavage the nursing pics looks like u had a BA with perfect results. Excited for you!!!

Oh thanks so much. I really have no idea how you'all can tell. Those nursing boobs just don't feel sexy and are for such a different purpose you know, they just seemed so hard and unattractive!
I'm so glad finding out you are going to be a week after me! We can go on this journey together.

Hey HauteMama3! I'm with you! I want to follow you but I can't work out how to do it yet! (I have followed some but don't know why sometimes the option comes up and sometimes it doesn't...) we are very similar build wise and I will be 39 mid April with lots of kids - two that make me feel like a kid next to them!! Lol I'm totally following your journey (my plan is BA Aug 2016ish)

Me now & trying on RICE SIZERS

User Avatar
HauteMama3
So I wanted to give RICE sizers a try to see if I look completely ridiculous. You know how we see ourselves? I realized my not so flat stomach needs work! So I'm glad I took these for that reason. The size is 500cc's, but with rice you can reshape, flatten, or make firm and pull apart or push together, so it isn't a true representation, just a general idea.

We are about the same size, I'm 5'1, 98lbs. What size of boobies you want? Ds?
User Avatar
April 6, 2016
They would be DD. If you saw my milk boobie photos those were D's and hard. I don't feel those were too big on me so DD and soft seems about right. You know A,B,C,D is really subjective on body type. C on a narrow short torso can look huge while D cup can look smaller on a longer & wide torso. I even feel that curves and shoulder width play a huge role. I have s short torso and wide shoulders so you really need to see a PS to get the full idea what looks best on you. Body type makes a really big difference in my opinion.

I think those might be too big for your petite figure.. Unless you know what you want just my opinion

Thank you for your honesty. I sent photos to my surgeon to get his professional opinion as well. He said it would look great but he really won't know for sure until he gets in there. He does a throw away pre-sizer at the beginning of surgery. To be sure. Not all Dr's do that. So my plan is at my pre-op to try on 450, 475, 500, 525 to see if the 500's are the middle ground.

You go girl! Boob jobs are great! Well for them fine lines I do Botox and it smooth out my face. The Botox can even give you a brow left.

Yeah, I do Botox for my pesky 11 in between the eyes. I get vaso vagal and pass out nearly everytime, but I'm staying committed to it!

What's a RICE sizer?
User Avatar
January 20, 2017
Making your own breast implant sizers is a good way to help you decide. Wearing the sizers at home can help you figure out which size will make you feel most comfortable and look best under your clothing.

Rice implant sizers are a simple and cheap DIY project that allows you to test out various implant sizes. Here’s what you need to make your own rice implant sizers:

Panty hose or knee high hose
Measuring cups
Dry rice
Scissors
To make your breast implant sizers, first cut the legs off of the panty hose halfway from the bottom and stretch each out. Then measure your rice carefully, using the following guidelines:

1 cup is equal to 250 cc
½ cup is equal to 125 cc
¼ cup is equal to 75 cc
After you’ve filled the panty hose, compress the rice into the bottom into a spherical shape. Then tie a knot in the panty hose right above the rice filling, cut off the remaining tail of the panty hose, and you’re done.

Put your rice implant sizers in your sports bra and wear it under your tops to get an idea of how a specific implant size will look and feel. You may want to make and try out more than one set to get a better idea of what size implants you like best. The video below shows how to make the rice implant sizers.

If I can offer a suggestion here.. lol I don't normally budd in like this but I'm really on a roll today!! LOL!! If you know your breast width diameter and the diameter of implant you are interested in you can draw a circle in the width that you'd need as place it inside the panty hose first, then add the rice and tie a knot to close it. I saw someone else do this and I thought it was really clever!! It helps in keeping the rice more in the form of an implant and the actual diameter rather than forming into a ball and giving you the look of more projection than you will actually get. Of course it won't be EXACT to the implant but closer than not doing it this way. I've never done it myself so I'm not sure what he other lady used, I'm guessing some sort of a cardboard, to hold its round shape, but not too stiff where it would feel like you have a book in your chest ;-)

You totally aren't butting in, it's an open forum.
Your idea is excellent, the rice doesn't lay at all how a real implant would. I squished mine around and tried to make them looser and flatter as well as firmer in the hose. I think it's more of a helpful tip in the weight of boobs overall,since that is really what the measuring converts to?
User Avatar
January 20, 2017
Yes I too tried the rice sizers and they looked bigger than what I got first time around and was disappointed thinking I shouldn't have trusted them and wanted bigger because they were flatter than I thought they would be! I kept trying to smash them down flat but they just get round again, lol! And you truly don't know how wide they are if you don't do the tip I suggested. I thought it was a great idea when I saw it, except it wasn't too late for me! LOL

These are my milk boobs. Ya they are big, but hard & engorged, leaking milk and vein-y. I had milk ducts in my armpits and in the upper pole area.
