Cc's? 11 Days Til Ba and Worried About What Size to Get?

I'm 13cm and the dr said 375cc is the recommended size for me. I'm 4'11 115. The pre op nurse convinced me I should go bigger so I won't wish I would have later. That makes sense to me but I'm scared I went too big. I'm like 34b-ish now. I did 450cc and she said if I got 475cc I will have nice lift. I feel like it will be huge. I see so many before/after pics that are different and can't figure out if I should go with the extra 25cc or if the 450 is too much. Am I worrying over nothing?

What size breast implants?

Bigger is not always better. For your size, the implants that were recommended seem quite large to me. You need to square this away with the doctor before the day of surgery. I agree completely with a previous post that questioned the "lift" effect of implants. They absolutely do not give a lift, they are heavy will cause more sagging over time. You are quite correct to be concerned about this.

Choosing a breast implant

Choosing a breast implant is best done in a cooperation between the patient and the doctor, not the nurse. Not all patients want to be bigger in the end, in fact, I just got done seeing one from KY who needs to downsize her implants after 5 years of tryng to adjust to the ones the doctor there put in that were HP 375's. So, go back to the doctor before surgery and get this right. It is better than needing a revision later.

Best Breast Implants for Me?

Patients trying to select breast implant size/profile prior to their breast augmentation surgery can experience significant stress. In my opinion, cooperation between patient and plastic surgeon is the best way to go. I prefer to have a full range of breast implant sizes/profiles available for use in the operating room. After clearing communication with patients ( with the use of goal pictures) and the use of intraoperative sizers as well as careful measurements/dimensional... more
