I'm a week away from my procedure and still unsure about size. I don't want the obvious look, but I don't want to regret going too small.
I am 5'2 ~100 pounds and workout regularly. At first I wanted 260, but have slowly decided to increase the size. I'm hoping if I get 300 they will fit like the 280 once in place.
I am definitely lopsided and this is the first time I'm seeing pictures of how bad they are.
My doctor said I don't need a lift right now, but if I decide I want one on the left side she could do a crescent lift as an in office procedure in a few months.
Thanks to all the other small ladies who posted pictures and reviews, it had definitely held!
*my phone won't let me post pictures right now, so hopefully I'll remember to later.

Good luck!! I am 4'11.5" and 90 lbs with 350cc hp silicone

Good luck! I am also 5 2 and roughly 103 lbs. I was always small chested. we went with 300 cc on my right side and 260 on my left. check out my story and pictures! you'll be so happy either way you go! :)

Thanks, you look great! I am concerned that I should have 2 different size implants because my breasts look so different in my pics but my surgeon didn't recommend it.
November 15, 2014
I had very slight asymmetry before (apparently, I never noticed but my surgeon told me!) so he adjusted the implant size/placement to even that out. I am slightly concerned that this has ended up causing MORE asymmetry instead of less, but im reserving judgement until they've settled down as one is still tender & swelling, & the other is falling faster.

hey im 5'2, 105lbs & got 280cc's on oct 22nd! Ill put up pics now for you so you can judge for yourself. Personally I think I was too conservative & regret not getting 300cc's at least.
November 15, 2014
oh & i got high profile silicone under the muscle, textured & anatomical shape
November 15, 2014
Thanks for your input! It is so nerve wracking trying to make this decision. I've had the silicone sizers home with me for 2 weeks and I try them on at least every other day! I'll check yours out. I love being able to look at other boobies with woman close to my size! :) lol

Just wanted to say good luck with everything, I know these decisions are tough! I'm short too (only 5 feet), although heavier than you, but feel free to check out my photos. I would definitely recommend you do at least 300cc!

I will be going with high profile because of my small frame. I'm also going with silicone under the muscle.

I had my BA October 24th and I'm 5'1 100 lbs and got 325cc silicone under muscle and high profile and was a A cup and wish I had gone bigger!!! I'm still waiting for the miracle drop/fluff and hope they look more natural over time
November 15, 2014
How big do you think they are now? D cup?

I had my surgery yesterday and I feel great! I am not in nearly as much pain as I thought I would be, but I really try to stay ahead of the game by taking my pain med and muscle relaxers regularly. I think I will wean myself onto regular Tylenol tomorrow but continue the muscle relax for another 2 days. The surgical bra really is the worst part. I was instructed to wear it for 2 weeks, at least. It creates so much more pressure on my breasts.
My boobs are up so high right now I feel like I could rest my chin on them. I slept on the recliner last night to help with the swelling, and I think that helped me get a good night's sleep. I would definitely recommend doing that! Along with keeping pain meds and a drink right by your side. And don't close the pill bottle all the way, it hurts so bad trying to twist them open. Also, drink lots and lots of water, it has really helped with the bloated feeling.
I ended up with 300 cc under the muscle, just like I had planned. I told my doctor that if she put them in and they looked too big on me to go a size down. So I did give her the final say. (Do I really have a choice when I'm knocked out though!) I think once the swelling subsides they will be the perfect size on me. Not too big, but a noticeable difference.
I am really bruised around my incision and my lower rib cage hurts. Like they were punching me or something. I don't know if that is normal or not.
I haven't told anyone in my husband's family yet, and I'm not sure if I will. With Thanksgiving only a week away, I might have to through! Once I tell one person, they will all know because no one can keep a secret! I could probably hide them with a loose blouse so I'm not the talk of the dinner table. Knowing them, they would say something in front of my kids. I told them mommy was sick and had to go to the hospital and now she is lots of pain. My mom is staying with me to take care of them while my husband works. She has been a life saver! She yells at me to sit down and stop trying to do so much. I'm not one to just lay around while everyone around me is up and moving!
Ok, I guess I rambled enough. It's 5 in the morning and I was a wide awake. Going to try for more sleep before the kiddos wake up!
Don't hesitate to message me with any questions :)

They look great for 1 day post up! Usually I see other women's and their's are all the way up to their clavicle! Have you been able to use your arms at all? Such as raising your arms to your head or even rotating your arm? I'm worried about not being able to do basic movements, like pulling up/down my pants if I need to go to the bathroom or even brushing my teeth.
November 21, 2014
Thanks! They feel super high, but have started to drop already. I've been able to use my arms as long as I keep my elbows locked in to my side and just move them slightly. Opening my sliding glass door and freezer was painful! I would recommend only wear sweatpants or leggings the first few days. I put jeans on today and they were hard to button because I was so bloated! Also, just working my arms in that motion to button was bothersome. I'm on day 3 and the pain is so much better. I transitioned to extra strength Tylenol and have been doing ok. Raising my arms over my head or even straight out to reach something is extremely painful, it feels like the implant is going to rip out when I do that! When are you scheduled?

Hey! What size did you end up getting, looks like a great choice. love them on u. I got mine done yesterday and i also got high profile. I lol'd when i read your doc used perm marker on u. Good call on leaving the med bottle caps open bc it hurts to open them up. Hows your swelling love? do u have any pain under your arms? I do :(
November 21, 2014
Thanks! I had some pain radiating under my armpits, but my rib cage was the worst! I'm on day 3 and everything is so much better now. The swelling has already started to subside in the upper part of my breasts. I ended up with 300 and I'm happy with them so far! The bloating is the absolute worst! I thought I had it under control with all the water, but I did NOT!!
November 21, 2014
You look great! I think that's going to be a great size on you, especially once D&F happens.
November 21, 2014
Thanks! Good luck on Monday!

I'm about your size and my BA is on Monday :)
