You sure you need implants? (X post/pics)
Now, I am a full 36C. The reconstruction was done very thoughtfully and aesthetically. I have no "lollipop" scar, just around the areaola. I lost literally no sensation. It's nothing short of miraculous. I am firm enough to wear halters and tank, but full enough to look feminine, and happiest of all, no more cost, time on table, of foreign instrusions!
Work with your doc, or shop around.

I went with implants and have regretted getting them. Although all 3 plastic surgeons felt I would need them to be a C cup I believe I would have been a C without them. I have to wear a DD right now and don't like being that size. I could wear smaller shirts IF they weren't there.

I know that DH wanted implants, and the surgeons originally estimated I'd be a small B, but I stuck to my guns and went from (pre WLS) a 44 DD to (pre plastics) a weird 34D to (post plastics) a 32 small D/large C. And - best of all - they fit my frame. I look appropriate!
Even better, when I did discuss implants with them post-first round, the surgeons recommended that I not go there - not needed, would leave me out of proportion, and (because of a muscle issue) mean that I would need to be in serious full support bras forever - even when I slept, even with a very small implant.
Do I miss having the rack out to there? Occasionally - I mean, it was part of my identity. But do I miss the struggle of finding clothes to fit? And bras to fit? And the drag on my chest and arms? Not for an instant!
I'm VERY happy!
