Today I went for my 1st consultation. The staff were absolutely amazing! They answered all my questions and made me feel very confortable.

Now the doctor recommend 335cc. I am currently a 32a. Im 4'10, 110lbs. I like how it looked but when they took a picture, it seemed small. Is that normal? Are looks deceiving?

Any suggestions would be great! Anyone who was petite like me who's had surgery would be a great help also.

We have similar stats (5 feet, 111lbs). You could check out my pics to get an idea of 400cc on a petite frame :). Not sure if we are built similarly but it may help a little.
Good luck with everything and best wishes for an easy recovery!

You look amazing! I don't want to be that big. So your posts actually helped! The doc suggested 335cc and you got 400cc..I just have to find the perfect size somewhere in the middle!

I am 5'3 106 lbs and I went 350 and they look just right I almost had him go 375 and I am glad he didn't 350!is perfect for my size

When you tried on sizes, did your end result look the same? That's what I'm concerned about.
November 18, 2015
Also I am 32dd at Victoria secrets and 32 D at other store and I am 6 weeks and he said I wouldn't be going down in size 350cc I don't know if the band size has anything to do with how they fit

32dd is a great size! I'm just scared because of my small frame, I'll look top heavy!
November 19, 2015
I don't look top heavy at all I am taller than you my Dr made the final decision and he knew what he was talking about when he made the decision I wS scared too I will try and post some new pictures tonight

I also think it may depend on the specific implant too mine is Sientra smooth round

Okay! Looking forward to it. He suggested 335cc. I feel like I do want a little bigger only because you lose 10% after surgery. I got to try it on but of course I had a black shirt. No one warned me! Lol

I'm 5'1", 110lb, (Asian as well) and am scheduled for December 3 with 335 gummy bears! I am nervous about the size but my doc is confident in the choice.

How did you like it when you tried them on? I thought it looked nice but I feel like I want to go just a little bigger
User Avatar
November 20, 2015
I actually didn't try them on. I only tried on a 285 and a 350. I felt like 350 too big but the sizes were meant to replicate silicone or saline implants. Gummy bears are slimmer.

That's what I was confused about. The 2nd doctor I spoke with dais theres saline and silicone gel aka gummy bear. .now I'm confused
User Avatar
November 20, 2015
For me, I wanted something really natural looking, and less round. The gummy bears are teardrop shaped which gives a more natural appearance. They're not for everyone but for me I knew it was. 9/10 times when j found before or after photos I liked they ended up being gummy bears! But again, you have to make the best choice for what you are wanting. I have my surgery in 2 weeks and will do my best to update if you want to follow my review.

Not sure how to PM you but if you go to my profile and read the remarks from Dr Robert Hardesty under the question I asked about which brand of silicone is best you shall find it very informative. Do your research!! It really helps

Had a 2nd consultation

Today, I met with Dr. Bottger located in Newtown Square, PA.

He said I have a great frame and since I've already had a child I'm bounced back fast so the implants will go great in my chest since I'm already "stretched"

Now he mentioned that I should not be on birth control during surgery and since I'm on Depo, to skip my next shot. This is to prevent blood clots. The first doctor did not mention this and I did ask about my bc. Has anyone else stopped their bc before their BA? And if so, even did you go back on?

They usually don't mention it until 2 weeks before surgery, the birth control thing
January 12, 2016
And yes I did stop, and I got back on a week after my ba. It sucks, but there is a price to pay for beauty lol

Exactly lol thank you so much for answering. I'm ready. Piercings are already out and I skipped my next Depo shot. Crunch time!

I'm small like you... 4'11" and 98 lbs. I got 375 cc under the muscle on Jan 4. I'm still healing and waiting for them to drop and settle... We shall see.

Originally I was certain that I would have my surgery done by Dr. Reedy, but after going over everything, choosing Dr. Bottger (Newtown square, PA) was definitely my definite choice at the end.

My pre-op appt is on January 6, 2016. I am super excited and can't wait to start this process.
