Hello, I'am 1week post-op from a BA
Im kind of worried, I was a 34 small C tight and non saggy. My PS thought 450cc would be lovely for my body type, Im 5'10 170 pounds. Now that my wraps are off and the swelling is down I look like just a full C. I had 425 filled to 460 mentor Round Mod Plus saline "Unders" via breast fold.
I had fallow up yesterday my PS say's They will go down some from the top. Will they become smaller,or larger ? and what changes will I see? with my type of BA?
Con? Maybe I went to small .So many years of long thoughts .So far no harsh pain .Scar is at min. In a good location .
Cant wait to see the full results

HI! I was interested in your tag because I, too, am 5'10" and weigh 160, so we are really close in size. I was about the same size as you to start, as well. 9 days ago I had 200cc put in and was frustrated they were too big! I have talked with my doctor and have read that they are supposed to go down in size in the next few weeks. I will say that mine have begun to "un-swell" a bit and I am happier. I have read tons of information the past few days and get the same answer. Give it time though. They will look different in the next few weeks. Hopefully you will love them...good luck!!!!!

Hi, I am 5'8", 170 lbs. and currently a 38 B. My surgeon won't go bigger than 375 cc due to problems she said when patients go bigger than they should based on the skin streching. I want a CC or D. I am afraid I will be unhappy that they are too small also. She said the complications include the sutures coming apart, contractures, etc. when people go too big. Sigh. She is my OBGYN and I would trust my life in her hands as she did my partial and bladder lift and is an excellent cosmetic surgeon as well. What sizes did you guys start out as? And what size are you now?

I wish my CS would decide to go with the 400 cc size and overfill but she said "I won't go bigger than 375cc" with you. I am sure she will overfill a bit but I will clarify so there's not a greater chance of rippling, and I will clarify with her what size actual implant cause I want the biggest she will go and she already said no bigger than 375 cc with me. She knows my lifestyle and it's very high stressed and she knows I will only have about 4 to 5 days down time. I have orders for my bloodwork and she is going out of town so we will do markings when she gets back she said. I saw no point in sizing if she won't go bigger than I am sure I want, but I trust her advice. It's just that I am seeing alot of pics that I have found of women with 375 cc and they look great!!! But they weigh less than I do and there is only one my height, 5'8" and the rest are shorter. Maybe I should buy the size kit so I don't feel so disappointed already that they will be too small. Maybe they will be fine. I would be happy with a CC.

I am 5'7 now weigh about 158 after lipo and new breasts on May6th 09. A critical factor in getting the implants is how much skin you have originally like deflated A or a deflated C...I was a deflated saggy B and went to a 320cc saline in my 30's now at 50 years of age I went 533cc silicone(love the silicone) BUT BUT BUT my original saggy B's after 16years could have very easily held a 575 to 616cc..I AM SO MAD I didnt go there, my frame and personality could have handeled it but I chickened out while walking into surgey and did the 533cc they look fine but for the money I paid I should have gone bigger more voluptuous for my hips and frame..at 533cc I am a D..I wanted DD MY FRAME couldve handled it...but remember gals it goes by how much projection you want and the amount of breast skin or fat that gives the fullness..I am seriously going back in in 4 more months and making these NICE 533's 575's

I am now 1 day post op. I have a searing burning pain in the right breast and it feels like someone is taking a hot poker and sticking it through me all the way to my back. My cs ended up putting 380 in the right and 360 in the left. I can't say I was with it enough to see wether they are big enough to me or not. She wouldn't go bigger anyway and said they will be perfect for me. I see her today in a couple of hours. I called her last night about the pain. I think she will put me on something stronger. I had a local with under muscle saline. I literally drank about 20 glasses of water since the surgery yesterday and ate tons. I was so hungry. But the water is staying in me. I haven't urinated a whole lot. So I don't know where it is going.(the water) My cs said on the phone that she will also prescribe me something for swelling. My left breast feels fine (sore but not a bring you to your knees pain like my right one). I am really worried about it. If it wasn't there, I would be having minimal pain. But this almost unbearable.. I even cried.. something I didn't do even during childbirth. I have been close to vomiting and faiting I don't know how many times. My boyfriend and kids are taking good care of me though. Maybe the right breast pain is just due to stretching of a nerve, I hope so. I was fearing it was like a hematoma or something. Idk, I will see what she says at my appt today.
