So after losing 100 pounds and breast feeding my child, my boobs disappeared. Completely. I've decided to get implants and my doctor said I'd also need a lift. Great! When we first met, my doctor recommended I go with a 275-300cc because of my "small frame". I'm 5'6" and weigh between 125-130 depending on the day. Lol. Anyways. Let's be real. I'm doing this because I want VA-VA-VOOM boobs, not "oh, she must not have kids" boobs. I'm paying top dollar, I should get what I want. Tomorrow is my pre-op where we try on sizes and I'm going to tell the doctor I want 400cc and to err on the side of big. Has anyone else experienced this? Am I being unrealistic? I just want D or DD and for my boobs to look amazing!

Hi. I'm scheduled to have my 2nd BA with lift in a couple of weeks. I had my first BA 12 years ago and I was never happy with the size the PS choose and they were definitely not the size I had asked for. I wanted to have large voluptuous breast and ended up with just average size breast which I never liked. They are 350cc mentor silicon mod profile, I ended up being a large C cup. And like you I wanted to be at least a large D to DD. This time around my PS suggested larger implants according to my wish pics 650cc to 750cc high profile yikes! Just the number sounded too big so I decided to settle for either 500cc or 550cc whichever he thinks will look best for my body. I'm average size 5'4" and 137lbs. I do have broad shoulders and large hips. I don't have a petite frame even though I sometimes get that comment which truly baffles me.

Thank you! Just finished my appointment and it looks like we're going with either a 535cc or 590ccdepending on which looks best. I told him to go with 590cc no matter what. Lol. Should put me at about a DD and the lift will give me the "fuller effect". Can't wait!!!

Just an update after reading more reviews and looking at pictures I called my surgeon to let him know I was willing to go up to 650cc. I am post op 4 days and he ended up putting 605cc HP silicone. So far I'm loving the size and I think I'll end up having what I wanted the first time around. Good luck!

Had my sizing appointment today! Whew! What a great visit, so informative!! I didn't try on any "sizers" because I'm getting a lift at the same time and it's hard to see what they'll look like but we did discuss my desire to be a larger size. Doctor said he'd do what I wanted and I showed him some pics. He measured me to make sure the 590cc would fit (and not get in the way of my arm motion) and they will!! So excited!! I'm one week and one day away from surgery!!

I can't believe it's been almost a week since I had surgery! I thought this was going to be way easier but was wrong. Here's what I didn't expect:

1. Sleeping on my back would be so uncomfortable
2. My boobs would look so weird at first
3. Lifting, leaning on, reaching with my arms would be so difficult!
4. Pain meds caused major constipation! Glad I stopped after 2 days. Used Tylenol Extra Strength instead.
5. Bra use is mandatory. I have the surgical bra that PS gave me but have no idea what to wear now.

Things I loved:
1. PS was great!! Amazing even. My surgery uneventful and that's great!
2. Sleep!! Just being able to rest and recover is wonderful!
