So I guess my feelings started much like the rest of you...Growing up I was always behind the curve, literally being a tall and skinny girl with no breasts. I have always thought of my body as a "manly" build, lifting weights, playing sports year-round which left me with little fat, especially in the chest area, and I've been self-conscious about them ever since. I have been following this site for years waiting until I could finally have a chance to gain some femininity and reading all your lovely stories which has guided my search and helped me realize that this is something that I really want to do for myself. I do want to say thank you to all of you! I would say that I have been content with my life without breasts, however it is something that has been repeatedly brought up and I am finally in the financial and emotional position to actively pursue this dream. I have an amazing husband who loves me just the way I am but he has given me the okay to move forward with this for my own personal happiness. He really is the greatest! Any who, being a physiologist and medic, I have researched heavily the impact of breast augmentation (BA) on my body and my ability to continue my current active lifestyle and sports/work regime. I have also researched plastic surgeons to the same extent and have decided to go with Dr. Mancoll of Virginia Beach. He has superb bedside manner and does incredible work. Furthermore, he takes the time to answer my millions of questions and in a way that is not talked down at or condescending at all, which I have found with some other surgeons. I have my second consultation with him this Wednesday which I am so excited about and we will go over sizing options/measurements/wish pics. I feel like I'm pretty prepared for this consultation but I have to ask you ladies, being experienced, is there anything you wish you had asked the surgeon or spoke with him/her about sizing? What is the best way you found for expressing your desired result? Researching, right now I am thinking somewhere in the 450-600 range, because I am a small B and wish to be a full D, but not so big as a DD as I want to still be able to play basketball and volleyball and lift like I do now. I know with my size, being tall, muscular, and broad shouldered, I can handle a lot more cc's without looking too "done" but during my first consultation I was still shocked when he and the nurse said I may need somewhere in this range to get my desired result. I do want to have a natural appearance but I really want cleavage and some side boob, to balance out my hips/butt. Any of you taller and active ladies have an implant of this size and would like to share, I would definitely appreciate it! It's kind of difficult to find reviews with these constraints. Well I think I've shared enough for now. I hope to maybe post pics tomorrow but please share your story with me! Thanks!!

1st & 2nd Consultation (wish pics)

HERE ARE MY WISH PICS I NEED YOUR HELP PLEASE!!!

During my initial consultation, I met with the physician but only discussed sizing and my wish look with his nurse, since I was having a second consultation anyway. However, during that first consult I was able to utilize the Vectra 3D imaging software (which is awesome) to get a glimpse of what size implants would look best on me. I am currently at most a 34B and would like to be a full D but not a whole lot bigger than that, so I tried a 457cc as well as a 533cc implants on. On the Vectra, both looked small on my frame to me. Then, I tested the actual implant in my bra and I knew that 457cc would be too small, however the 533cc looked too big. EVER SINCE that consultation, I have been walking around with different sizers everyday (rice size test) to see how much I actually like and I have come to like 550cc....so that's what I went in thinking for my 2nd consultation.

NOW...I just had my 2nd consultation with my surgeon where we discussed my specific wish pics and sizing. I told him that it seems as though the 533cc may be too small for what I'm looking for, however he said, based on my wish pics, that the 533cc may be TOO BIG...I was so surprised! I was stuck on 550cc but now he said that he would try 533cc, 492cc, and 457cc ... I DON'T WANT TO BE TOO SMALL AND BE DISAPPOINTED!

PLEASE give me your thoughts whether you think 533cc would be adequate/too small/too big for what I'm looking for as I have little breast tissue to begin with. I would love to hear from you! I have attached my wish pics. To remind you, I'm 5'9", 150lbs with a muscular build. THANK YOU!!

Thank you! Some of them are fellow RSers but I'd be happy to end up having ANY of their breasts! Just want them better than now! I like yours as well. I see you are getting your op in just a couple weeks! That's exciting! How are you feeling??

hey lovely, we have VERY similar stats! and I also have a reasonably athletic build - I went for 525cc's and am very happy with the result - i also had to have a lift though so my breasts will take a little longer than others to drop and fluff and settle but slowly surely they are already dropping. I am 19 days post op - I hope this helps you x

Here I am ... and BTW my PS told me that I have mild contracted breasts (tubular deformity) as if I wasn't self-conscious ENOUGH! Could really use some support right now!

I have very very similar stats to you. I was so shocked when i tried on sizers as they seem to just dissapear on me. I am also 5'9 144lbs, athletic and broad shoulders. The numbers scare me but i decided on 560cc moderate plus, under the muscle. The nurse kept warning me that they were "very large" implants and that they would be heavy. But i don't think they look big at all. I showed pics to friends with the sizers on and they were all like, thats it?? So i totally can relate. I decided to go with the bigger ones because i feel like i would rather end up to big than to small. My surgery is April 19th. When is yours. We should stay in touch as i would love to hear about your progress.

I was scared and still am about the number...well I guess not really scared but shocked I guess is a better word. Most women I have read have been getting a smaller implant but my chest is so big that I couldn't even tell a difference with the smaller implants. My op is April 26th... we should definitely keep in touch! You would be exactly a week ahead of me and I would love to have someone to share the experience with!

Fitnessbunny, do you have boob greed at all with your size or are you pretty content with it? Are you able to exercise yet?
April 2, 2016
This site is so great for meeting other people going through the same thing.
I can't believe its april. In some ways it can't come soon enough but at the same time i'm still in denial that it is actually happening!!! And in just over 2 weeks. I am pretty sure we will be happy with the bigger implants. The more girls i find that are around my height and weight the more i am realizing that it is not uncommon to need 500cc or more. I think they will look great on you!! 25 days for you 18 days for me eeeekkkk!!!!!!!
April 25, 2016
I am also similar I stats. I'm 5'10 145 lbs. I am having my surgery May, 16th. I'm very nervous and I keep second guessing the sizing. I'm very active just like you and lift weights and run as well. I am taking the opposite approach however. I'm only getting about 250 cc's. I'm a 34 A right now and hope to be a B or small C when I'm done. You'll have to let me know how yours turns out and if your happy with them. If the sizing gets you to your goal! Good luck tomorrow!!

Hey there! Thank you for your post! I will definitely be updating this review as much as possible, so just keep checking back on my page for my progress and to see what you like...when I started my journey I was thinking alot smaller but these reviews have definitely made me realize how us taller women can absorb cc's so mine size has increased...I think you'll have plenty of time. Where are you getting yours done??
April 25, 2016
Mine is scheduled for May, 16th. I've read the reviews also which is why I'm second guessing myself. Problem is I live in a very small town. (not even a stoplight in my town) I gossip will be everywhere! Also I have a son in high school who knows nothing about my decision to have this done. I can just imagine the comments he's going to have to deal with! But this is my body and my choice so I have to try to weigh it all out. Not an easy thing for me. Thank God my boyfriend is supportive no matter what I choose!
