I was never very big before having kids. I was a nice round B. I breastfed all 3 children for a combined total of just over 5 years. That left me deflated and sadly flat. I don't fill up my B bras. I am more of a 34 A. I always wanted to do this but put it off as selfish/superficial, too expensive, and unnecessary. I finally decided to do it after 2 friends got it done and were very happy. I am not 100% sure but am thinking of 375 or 400 under the muscle, moderate plus profile, smooth, round, silicone implants with the incision under the breast. I am very excited but nervous that something will go wrong, they will be to big, i will have some side affect, etc. I want to choose what is right for my body and be a natural looking big C cup.

I work in an office full time and am planning to go back to work at my 4 day post op. I am nervous about that. Some women seem to need more. My one friend said she was good to go after 2 days so i don't know. ...

I am very nervous about what my coworkers, acquaintances, casual associates, might say. I'm not doing this for the outside attention but for me. my boobs earned it after 5 yrs of breastfeeding and i want to be round and proportionate again! I am hoping most ppl don't say anything or notice but i am sure it would be hard not to notice! I will probably wear scarves for a little while at work lol. Any suggestions on what to do or say if asked?

I am choosing Vincent Surgical Arts because that is where me friend had it done and dr. Bradd christensen because of his experience and because he is board certifiedas a PS. I had 1 consult they're with an assistant, 1 with a different doctor there, and i am thinking of doing 1 more with my actual surgeon since i decided on him but haven't actually met him. I also did one consult at another location but liked this place more.

Congrats! Similar scenario here. I wore padded push up bras leading up to the surgery, thus far no-one has noticed and I got 450/500. I was driving by day 3. It's a little uncomfortable to turn but not really an issue. Just be careful not to over do it. You get sore and it hurts then you need the pain pill and you get uber sleepy.

I'd say two days off is definitely not enough. Office work might be fine by day four, I don't know. I'm a teacher. If your job doesn't require you to be on your feet a long time or use a lot of arm movements it might be okay.

If anyone asks and they don't sound sincere or polite about asking tell them to mind their business and get back to work! :)

Now that I am two weeks out, I am taking my supplements including vitamin C, zinc, and vitamin A. I bought three sports bras from Wal-Mart, one zip up the front sz large and a 2 pack of regular ones size 34. I an still waiting to hear back about my consult our meeting with the actual surgeon since I meet with another dr last time. And I am supposed to pay for the remainder of the surgery now... I already paid the 500-nonrefundable deposit a couple weeks ago. So excited and nervous that something will go wrong, either side affects or size or something else. I hope not!! I am leaving toward 375 cc silicone under muscle smooth. I don't want to be too big. I want to end up with a nice C but not a D.

sizers... which one!?

maybea400
This is the 350 & 400 I tried on. it will lose some volume under the muscle so I am thinking of 375 which is right in between?? what do you think?

If you're undecided, they always say go bigger because of that whole "lost under muscle" thing. So the 400ccs will probably look more like the 350 sizers. And 25ccs is about 2 tablespoons so it's not that much difference. Good luck with your decision! :-)
January 13, 2015
I know it's minimal but I keep stressing back and forth over the two thinking it will be the difference between just right or too big. I'm hoping it's not noticed at work or by other acquaintances but at the same time I want it to turn it right for me!

I went with 350cc but I'm undecided too. My Dr orders 3 sizes: 1 size up and 1 size below along with my 350. So when I go in for surgery tomorrow I have pics printed out for reference of what I want. My Dr decides during surgery what will accomplish that look. They'll sit me up during surgery and see what looks best (while unconscious).

Isn't that kind of creepy to think about? Lol someone sitting you up unconscious deciding on your boob size?? :-) I'm going to go in Wednesday for a final consult with the surgeon and I'll see what he says and I am planning to bring wish pics!

Good luck tomorrow! Can't wait to see your updates

lol yeah it is :) but a lot of Dr's do that. I thought it was weird too but thats when they can really see what they should look like. We ended up going 375 :)

That is what my dr is doing also now
