WORTH IT$4,250
I went to my doctor and we decided that I should go with silicone implants. Due to my small breast width, 11 cm wide, and my tubular breast deformity my doctor said it would be better to go with an ultra high profile using 450cc in the left and 420cc in the right. I chose my cc from the try on implants at my consultation. However, I'm worried that 450 and 420 in ultra high might be too much. I'm not sure if the amount of cc in the try on's are going to be an accurate representation of the ultra high profiles.
And just for information sake:
Weight:156 Lbs
Height: 5'9 1/2''
Bra size: 32 AA/A
Brest Width: 11 cm
Looking to go to a full C or small D

Thank you for starting your story on RealSelf! I agree with Kooberry---discuss this at length with your surgeon so he knows your concerns. You can also try the rice test. It's very unofficial, but some ladies really feel it helps give them a sense of what to expect from different sizes.
Please let us know what you decide to go with!

Kooberry thank you for responding!- My surgery is scheduled for Oct 1st. "Dr. Case is certified to the highest national standards by the American Board of Plastic Surgery, as well as being inducted as a Fellow of the American College of Surgeons and a member of Alpha Omega Alpha (the National Medical Honor Society). Additionally, he is a member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the American Society for Aesthetic Plastic Surgery, the American Society of Bariatric Plastic Surgeons, and the Rocky Mountain Association of Plastic and Reconstructive Surgeons" I have discussed my size wants with him but he felt that 400 and 450 would achieve a full C. I think Ill try the rice test mentioned above.

Went to my pre-op appointment last Friday. After discussing some remaining questions i had, we decided on doing 400ccR 455ccL in Ultra High Profile. I'm still apprehensive about he sizes I chose but It seems like it'd be a better idea to go bigger and not regret being too small. I just hope they don't look like 2 melons pasted on my chest. I've got my prescriptions filled out and acquired so I'm set for after operation pain and my husband is taking 2 days off of work to stay and take care of me. I've also lost some weight since me initial consultation. Its not much but I weigh 153 now. It sounds dumb but I'm trying to lose the weight I'll gain with the implants. I really don't like the idea of putting on weight because of them but I know its going to happen.
15 days left =)

Samantha89 I am so anxious to see what you end up looking like because I live in Tucson and considering Dr. Case as well. I have not even scheduled a consult with him yet because I dont have anyone to really help take care of me If i get the surgery done. I am a single mom of a 2.5 year old and I am afraid I won't be able to do much for her if I get it done. Either way best of luck! Hurry time Hurry!

Just got back from my birthday vacation in San Diego! It was amazing! After going to the beach I realized just how upsetting it is to be so small chested around all these women with normal breast sizes. I usually feel OK in my t-shirts when I wear a push up bra but my swimsuit has very limited padding and does not push up. It is really depressing when your bust is only 1 inch bigger than your rib cage (32) accompanied by a 28in waist and 38 in hips and a huge butt. I am so glad I only have 10 more days, I really hope it all pans out how I envisioned it.

Doing it 4 me, I'm glad to hear that you're considering Dr. Case. He is very knowledgeable and professional. Not once did he make me feel uncomfortable or pressured to make any choices I didn't want to. It's unfortunate though that you don't have someone to help you out. I am more than happy to give you all the information packets and stuff through email if that'd help at all. The consultation is really just to get the information and to choose sizes and operation time and I've got tons of info if you need it.
I have 10 more days and time is dragging!

OMgosh yea I will totally take all that info from you. My email address is land*******@hotmail.com {Email address edited by RealSelf to protect you from spam bots. Please use PM system to communicate private information} Thanks! I've read a lot of good reviews from Dr.Case so yea even though I'm a little bummed out that I can't even have a set date, I am really going to shoot for the second week of November (fingers crossed). Happy belated Birthday and 10 days will fly by before you know it.

I will go ahead and scan them today and get them to you as soon as I can. I wont be able to do the mentor study packet since its over 50 pages long but I can high lite some important parts for you.

Thanks Samantha, I got your email. Can't wait till my little one goes to bed so I can read all the stuff. I can relate to you on so many levels, I also have fibromyalgia from a real bad car accident and I've been lied to and cheated on too hence the single mom life. I also had my struggles with pain medication prescription, seems its what doctors resort to when they cannot explain why you have the pain. And on top of it my mom has stage 4 brain cancer and is battling it right now, that is why I cannot get my surgery any time soon because she cannot watch my daughter for me. On the contrary I have to be there to help her. I just want to tell you to hang in there because faith is the last thing you lose. I really hope the surgery can make you a more wholesome person and give you the boost of confidence you need. If you need anything you have my email and you can email me if you want my number or anything. Best wishes!

I'm glad you got the email. When I got this information I had already payed for the surgery and stuff. I think it would have been better to get this information at the consultation. Fibromyalgia is such a pain in the rear. I've had it for about 3 years now. I am so sorry to hear that your mom has stage 4 brain cancer. I cannot imagine how painful that must be to go through. I know we barely know each other but if there is anything you need or your mom needs just ask. I'm a good listener. I would offer to watch your kiddo but I've never babysat in my life and kids hate me. Thank you for all the support =) You have my email now so if you ever need anything, or just wanna talk send me an email. I have no job and I live on base so I'll be able to get back to you almost instantly lol

Yea I read all the stuff and it was very helpful. I saw your name at the top with your scheduled date and I got jealous lol. (in a good way). I’ve had fibromyalgia for 6 years or so and still have my bad days, but you just press on. It’s ok about my mom the first time she was diagnosed they said it was inoperable incurable and she had 2-52 weeks to live. This was in 2008 she had a surgery and they removed the entire tumor and 4 years later a new one grew she has a week left on her radiation and so far the tumor is responding greatly. We are very optimistic and we have a lot of faith. Oh and thank you for the offer, my dads side of the family is from this area so we have managed pretty well. Hahaha I’m sure they don’t hate you maybe just a little awkward. My little one is a terror and I’ve never been away from her so she would give you hell. She’s 2 and pretty snooty lol but thanks my best friend from phoenix is gonna help me out for like 4 days if I get it done. Oh cool I’m prior air force too.

Wow, I'm so glad that your mom is making a great recovery! Were you in the service or a military wife?
Hi samantha~when is your surgery scheduled? If you're seeking C cup/small D I would suggest getting less than 400 cc's. I have only 304 cc's and currently fit into a C/ small D cup. Is Dr. Case board certified? It's very important you talk to him extensively and he eases your mind regarding all concerns prior to surgery. Thanks for sharing your story and Good Luck!
