550cc of Silicone Gel Implants to Get C Cup Breasts?

I am 22 about 5'7", 125 lbs. I have broad shoulders. I went in for my consult and the nurse and Dr. said that 550cc will look good on me.

I have chose to go w/ the silicone gel Breast implants, under the muscle. I am so terrified they are going to be too big and make me look fat. Like most women on here I want to be a 36C and would be ok if they happen to be a small D.

The nice part about putting the implants in the bra is that pretty much what you see is what you get. You can see what the implant looks like on... more

Determining Bra Cup Size

This will help your plastic surgeon get an idea of what it is you want to achieve. Using sizers during the surgery will help determine what size implants would be best to achieve the look you want. Remember internally, your anatomy is very different, so you may need a different size implant depending on how... more
