Had a great 5 week checkup with Dr.Parkins today- I love Her and Her nurse Cindy!
5'8 140lbs.
Pre-op 36 barely A
350 mod plus - looks like I might end up around 36C
Sizing was a big issue for me - I wanted something very modest/conservative (I kept saying something I can hide at preschool pickup)! I am on the taller size and have a wider rib cage. I took my favorite push-up-padded bra and measured the projection and compared that to the sizers. 350cc gave me about the same projection. I had a moment last week where I questioned if I should have gone a little bigger .... and the I put on a real bra and shirt for the first time and BAM! Just what I wanted- a size that fits me that I can dress up or down. So greatful for Dr.Parkins and her incredible attention to detail and my wish pics.
Good luck ladies!

After contemplating this for many years, I finally decided it was "now or never"! I had a prior consult a year ago that left me feeling unsure. After reading great reviews on RealSelf I decided to meet with Dr.Parkins, and that was enough to make me confident in moving forward. Right now I'm 3 weeks post op and (despite being allergic to the compression bra) feeling almost back to normal! My results have already exceeded my expectations and I still have a long way to go!

I am smaller than you 162 cm and 52 kg and am opting for moderate profile allergan 310cc dual plane.
Was yours sub muscular?
Yes my BWD was 13.5.
I'm just over four months postop, and very happy with the size, I can really play them up or down. Know that they really settled I maybe would go a touch bigger to get a little more upper pole fullness (25-50cc?) I'll try to update another picture !
