Had my consult Oct 13, Dr Gelfant was very pleasant and his assistant Hayley did my initial sizing. I've chosen the newer Ideal Implant as it's saline filled but I think far superior in look and feel and structure compared to traditional saline. I'm petite but breasts are still perky and dr said I have very little drooping and I'm a good candidate for these implants. Trying to decide between 275cc and 300. Felt 300 looked big in sizing, but will confirm and decide at pre op October 26th. Can't wait to go bra less in some dresses and tops in summer and feel and look sexier in bathing suit.
Stay tuned ladies! Surgery is Nov 15!

Hello there!!!! I got the Ideal Implants back on September 1st this year!!! :) I love love love them. The safety of saline and the feel of Silicon. They are amazing... I had initially wanted 275cc but the doctor told me we would probably not go that small so we came up with a range of 275-350 cc and he ended up doing 340 cc and I LOVE them. So glad we didn't go smaller.
Also if you're going under the muscle you will loose a little bit of protection, so even though the 350s looked CRAZY HUGE on me with sizers (I seriously felt ridiculous) they look totally proportional to my body. Not nearly as huge as they sizers made them out to be.
Also I'm sure you know a lot of ladies get boob greed (I'm super super super happy, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't sometimes wish I'd gone bigger :P) so I think 300 would be a great choice for what you want. (Plus honestly, the difference of 25cc is practically negligible, that's like a shot glass)
My before measurements were a 32C and now with 340cc I'm a 32DD. Hope that helps you :D

Thanks mouse! That helps. I'm leaning towards the 300's now. It's just that I'm 54 and don't want to overdo it, or look like I'm trying to be 21 lol!

No no certainly not!!! When I went to get my augmentation I told the doctor I wanted to look the same as I do in a padded bra. I didn't want anyone to know I had one done and to this day my parents and relatives etc. can't tell I've had them done. It's great :) I think 300 will be great. As I said before. It's literally the difference of what a shot glass can hold (practically nothing in the grand scheme)
Its a perfectly comfortable size!!
I chose the ideal implant exactly cause it has that natural sloping look :) plus the inframamary (under boob fold) is smaller cause they fill the implant after its placed in you :)
Best of luck to you!!!!!

I got mine done with Dr. Gelfant almost a year ago... I think I was his 3rd patient to get the Ideal implant. Nov 9 2015 was my big day. Very happy with the look and feel of the Ideal Implant. I am 5'4 and currently 125lbs. I used to weigh 145ish and had a full C or D cup. With my weight loss and breast feeding I lost the volume and was a 36 B maybe,on the day of surgery. I played between 375 and 400... 400 was the max Dr. G was comfortable doing for me and with the sizers it looked huge. I decided after a week to do the 400. I was really glad I did because with placement under the muscle, they are not nearly the size I thought they would be. I am just in as a 36 D again but they seem smaller than my "old real" boobs pre weight loss did. I love the perkiness but I guess since I had alway had a large chest since grade 8, wished they could have been a bit bigger. I do love that they look and feel natural so I guess I can't complain because I did not want the fake Barbie look. Dr G and staff are great and I have no complaints. Good luck!

Thanks Angie, I'll probably go with the 300's as I'm small boned and don't want to look top heavy and I've always been small up top so I don't want to overdo it. Today is pre op day. Stay tuned!
October 26, 2016
Yes, go with what you are comfortable with and what is proportionate to yiur frame. No one else has to be happy with them except you. Good luck!

Pre-op today! Size decided :)

Saw Dr. Gelfant today and we discussed sizes- he's not big on women bringing in photos of wish boobs-prefers to go by my body size and what he believes will work best. We agreed on 300 cc's for the Ideal Implant. Interestingly his patients don't wear the post operative bra(my daughter did/even slept in hers) Dr Gelfant prefers you heal bra less or if needed with the Velcro tape. He also doesn't believe in post surgery massage but encourages certain exercises instead and ice.
After answering my questions and taking photos, I next saw Hayley, his assistant for final sizing. With boyfriend with me, the 3 of us agreed the 300 cc's would be the maximum for my small frame, while giving me a lot more volume. (Of course if boyfriend had his way, I'd be getting 400cc's!! Lol ????
Paperwork was next then I was done.
Countdown 20 days.......

You're right, 54 years is not too late to get a refresh on your breasts! Glad your consult went well! The Ideal implant sounds like a good fit for you. You might want to join a forum for women in their 50's getting breast implants. Good luck and let us know how your pre op appointment goes!
