31 Years Old, 3 Kids, 5'4" 123lbs Athletic - Vancouver BC

Hi Kolkenna, I just had my BA on Nov. 26th and got the 255cc in both. I too didn't want to go big (I was aiming for a nice, natural looking B), and so far - I am extremely happy with the results! I know I'm still in the early stage of recovery - and from what I heard, a lot can change still - but as someone who was hoping for a little something to make my chest look a little more pretty and feminine - I'm very happy! Happy decision making and best of luck!

I am 5'2" and 105 lbs and had 225 overs for my first BA and it was ok but very small. My yoga students didn't even notice a difference!! I still needed push-up bras!! It's a lot of money for a small change. I developed capsular contracture a year later and now have 350 unders and I am happy with the size. They are perfect.

I have a question, Has anyone experienced tender nipples after breast feeding? It's been 3 years since I've breast fed and my nipples tear all the time! I have to wear a bra to bed and pat dry out of the shower, I'm worried about it getting worse after the Ba.

Hello fellow vancouverite! I most definitely encourage you to go bigger, I recently got 275ccs med profile unders, and while I am happy with them, I totally wish I went bigger .. even like 100cc's bigger. I too am very active (as are most vancouverites) and only got 275cc's so that they wouldn't get in the way at gymnastics and whatnot. Although I am nearly 3 weeks post op (therefore am not able to cycle or go back into the gym just yet) they don't get in the way whatsoever, and don't feel they will when I do go back into the gym. $9500 is a lot of money and you want to be completely satisfied. You already have adequate breast tissue (about the same as me pre op) and you don't want that dwarfing your implants. Cheers!

Who was your doctor and how long was the wait from consultation til BA?
Thank you!

Second guessing is completely normal. We ALL do that!! I thought I wanted a full B, small C also, but after the swelling went down I realized I could have gone bigger. That's typical boob greed. There's not much visual difference between the sizes you are considering so pick the largest. With my overs I had 225 and they were small -- getting them under the muscle would make them much, much smaller appearing. I'm just here to say that because I now have 350 under the muscle and I am super tiny and they are not big at all. I've had tiny boobs my whole life and loved how small and cute they were -- I never wanted them larger, so I am different from lots of other women on here. But after nursing three kids for over 6 years total, they were very different looking from my small cute ones, and never having had anything significant, I originally just wanted to fill the space, but with the size I have now, I do not need a push-up bra or padding and they still look like they belong on me. They are perfect. If you are spending nine grand, go for your largest choice for sure. They may seem too big at first, but once they settle, you will be disappointed if you don't go for what you think is the largest you should go. It's just a guessing game, but I'm here to tell you that the 125 ccs I went up to between my BAs are not actually that much different (look at my pics -- you can hardly tell the difference in pics, only in person!!!) but this larger size is fuller and nicer. No worries because whatever size you pic, they will all look similar. I felt short changed with 225 because I did ask my first doc to go larger and he didn't recommend it, but my second doc was willing to try.

I would say go with your gut honey...the worst thing you could do is take everyone else's opinion into consideration because you will end up with boobs you don't like. I listened to what doctors recommended and looked at profiles on here to only realize after getting them in that they looked huge on me! Everyone thought since I was tall I could carry a large implant but neglected to keep in mind the look I wanted to achieve. Really take a look at your lifestyle..if your super active remember the trade off. I'm not against plastic surgery but more so want to advocate smart decisions that consider your life style

I would say take all the meds your doc prescribes, you'll appreciate it!! And yeah go for 300 or 275.., you'll be fine / not regret it :)

Good luck!!!! Hope all goes well :)
