Hi girls, Just wondering how many CC's you went with? I am doing a poll just to see what the average is? Im hoping I didn't pick too small.

Im going with 500-550 cc Hp ,, yours look big I like big! lol I have broad shoulders just curious
Are you getting a lift as well or just implants? The reason I ask is because my PS told me the high profiles work especially well when a lift is involved. For me, I needed more fullness on the top. My old implants caused some sagging after kids so I needed that fixed and I wanted more top volume. That is why I went with the HP. I am also a little wider in the chest area. I am 5'7 138 pounds. From looking at your pics it seems like u have some breast tissue there already. I will tell u that u have more naturally than I did before implants. So I would say the 400 cc will be plenty big on you. My new ones are 400 HP and I am guessing I will be DD when swelling goes down. I was a D with the old 300 saline ones I used to have.
I'm no expert but I have had implants most of my adult life. I'd also tell u that 90 percent of my close friends have them too. You just want to be careful not to go too big because the huge ones don't age as well. They will sag and cause skin to stretch out over time.
Good luck. It's not that hard to go through and you will love the new bod!!
I am getting a lift as well. Maybe because i do have more breast tissue my PS was right about it being too much. I didn't want them to look sooo fake but i do want them to look nice and boobilisious :) If you see in my picture I am flat on top as well, but I've said my PS has been doing PS for over 20 years he knows best. You are right about going too big. I don't want that either to wear it looks like I'm top heavy and i look fatter. I think with the tummy tuck too and my waist being smaller they will look bigger too :) I'm happy for your advice. You rock and can't wait for all of us to put up our after photos.
You are going to look great with the 400 cc. No worries. You will be boobalicious for sure! The lift is my favorite thing so far. I love it and the incisions do not hurt even a little bit!
I am going to be brave today and post my first post op shots. They are not pretty, but in the sense of keeping it real I am going to put them up anyway!
The drains are a bitch and that is the only way I can describe it. Hell, if it weren't for those I would be feeling pretty good by now. I really have no pain except for the drains are pulling my skin where they are inserted and it hurts there. I have stopped taking the pain meds though because I know I heal faster without them and I am tired of feeling loopy while on them.
I will see if I can get these pics outta my phone and post them so you can see what is going to happen to you. This surgery is not for wimps, but as I said before--not as bad as I thought.
It was hard for me to try and figure out what I wanted because I already had implants in there going in. I just took a guess really, but I think they are perfect esp. with the lift. I will post pics soon.
