Finally have the courage to share my own journey...

Finally have the courage to share my own journey on RealSelf. My BA is one week from tomorrow. I'm nervous but so excited. My preop was about a week ago and decided then on 280cc HP since I want a natural look. However, I have heard that you eventually lose a little volume so to make up for it I'm thinking of going with 300cc HP. I have an appt with my PS Tuesday to discuss. I am 5'2" and 105 lbs. and don't want to go bigger than 300cc for fear of looking too busty and fake. Further, I am active (biking, roller-blading, hiking) and plan to take up swimming after I heal from the surgery,,, all the more reason to not go too big.
My husband has been so supportive of my decision even though he tells me I'm beautiful just the way I am. The more I read everyone's stories, the more I believe it's really for our self confidence and to help us feel more sexual than we believe we are.

What kind of implants? Cohesive gel implants do not come in sizes that close together. If saline, you need to seriously reconsider.

Thank you, Dr. Kress. I'm going with silicone implants under the muscle. I believe the exact sizes my PS had me try on were 280cc and 304cc, both silicone.

Hi, our stats are almost the same. 32B, 5' 2", and 115 lbs. Take a look at my photos. I'm 5 days post op with 300cc in left and 325 in right. i'm happy with them. i am active also and fear the fake look, but i'm sure they will be natural once fully healed.

You also look fabulous! Thank you for sharing and I hope mine turns out beautiful like yours. I'm curious why the different size for each breast...?

Thank you. More was placed in the right implant to correct symmetry as it has less volume and is slightly smaller.

You can look at my profile...I am only two weeks out though. I'm same height and weight and got 300 silicone under muscle moderate plus profile. They felt huge at first but have gone down the past few days and now I'm wondering if I should have done 325....or more. The sizers felt huge but they really are much smaller in. However with my width my doc didnt want to go over 300 and he's the expert so I listened

You look awesome!! Hope you are healing well... I hope mine look as good as yours! My PS originally recommended 265cc moderate profile, but since I want to go bigger, I'm going with high profile because of my width/breast wall (or however they refer to the size of your breast base). Again, you look fabulous! Thanks for sharing!

My breast width was 11.4 if that helps. And I went moderate plus but I feel they are a tad wide so high profile might be a good choice

I went with 350cc, I pushed for 50cc more than surgeon suggested. 2 months later, I can see they look smaller . You will loose volume. good luck.

Thank you! Your story was very helpful and your latest pics look fabulous. I think the size you chose is perfect for your body. I see my PS tomorrow one last time before my surgery day to decide on size. Will keep y'all posted. :)

5 days pre

6 more days to go

I met with my PS today to discuss implant size one last time before surgery day. I tried on 280cc, 300cc and 325cc and we both agreed 300cc would achieve what I'm looking for and will suit my active lifestyle. My post-op bra arrived yesterday which made me all the more anxious. I still need to get my meds, prep some food to have ready after surgery for my husband and me, and clean house including preparing a "recovery" room.

Like many of you have experienced, the waiting is tough but it helps to have a "to do list" to keep from going crazy! ????

Day of treatment

BA done!

dotMHGOctober 28, 2014

Today was my procedure and an recovering. But let me start off by saying my doctor and her staff were wonderful! It felt like I was in and out of there for a short time.

I didn't experience severe nausea like I was expecting I think partly because I made a big deal of it with the anesthesiologist, so he said he'd give me antinausea dose before sending me home. The ride home was bearable and pain level was okay until about an hour ago. Now I'm starting the icing and feeling really tight around chest area. Will share more later but in the meantime will share a pic.
