Playing Around With Rice

So I like the 'sound' of 300cc, so I figured I'd play around and see what that would actually look like.

Please excuse the mess - my 5yr old likes to mess about in my room and fling stuff around. :/

What are your thoughts? I'm liking the look of this size (although I am aware it is not accurate, but kind of gives me a starting point)

Hello!! I just had an Augmentation on August 1. I was a 32A and got 280 cc silicone under the muscle. I feel great and my scars are so minimal not even a month after surgery. My doc gave me the OK to start wearing bras last week, and I went and got a fitting and I am now between a 32 C and D. Mine are just the perfect size for my little frame. My recovery was VERY easy. I had my surgery on Thursday and was up and walking that night and even went to the Farmers Market on Saturday and went out to lunch. Please message me if you have ANY questions. You will love the results! The difference between 280 cc and 300 cc is so minimal (about 1/2 a shot glass I think). I'm sure the 300 cc will give you what you want. I don't have any children, so my breasts have never stretched to breast feed. This means I didn't have a lot of room to create the pocket, so 280 cc is the biggest I could safely go (and I'm very happy about it). Let me know if you have any questions--private message me.

Thanks for that Waterlilly! I have a reasonably wide BWD - 13.3cm so what will 'fit' in my chest, coupled with the elasticity of my skin will allow me to go quite large - if I wanted to. My worry now is that a 300cc (or there abouts) implant will be too small in width and look funny, with the implants rolling about all over the place. Lol More questions to ask my Surgeon at the pre-op!!!!!

Why is your pre op so far in advance e to your actual surgery? Most surgeons do g book the far in advance in case your body changes

This is the way my Surgeon likes to do things. Pre-op is 6 weeks before surgery. I'm comfortable with this. There is no chance really that my body will change in such a drastic way that it will affect the surgery. :)

I am 5'6" 115 lbs BWD of 12.5 also breast fed my kids for 3-4 years. My PS told me 300-330 cc would make me a large 34B or small 34C. You are probably pretty close with your estimate!

Thanks Misti. Like I've said before, I'm trying not to get too hung up on CC size, but I think the low 300's is where I would like to sit. Of course, a 300cc implant may be too narrow for my BWD etc etc, so trying not to get too attached to my riceys!!!!

I am now 3 weeks out with 304cc and loving them! I would say I ended up just where I hoped to be. Hope you are well and will write an update soon!

Hi there, I just had my surgery 2 weeks ago, my PS also uses the Allergan implants, and I just wanted to have a nice size in proportion to my body type. He based my implants on that, then told me to try the rice sizes at home for a week or so as I was worried I was going to be to big. So the rice sizes do give you a fairly good idea of what you can expect. I got 320cc and 335cc and I am loving the results.

Thanks Ollie for the feedback on rice sizes. I will continue to use them once we've decided on an implant size.

The Consult...

NewMeNewLifeAugust 29, 2013
Well, the surgeon is awesome! He made me feel at home and comfortable the minute I met him.

He answered 90% of my questions before I even asked them!!!

He and I are in agreement about the style, shape, texture and placement.

He said he would lower the crease on my left breast to adjust the difference in size, but each breast will have the same volume implant as they have the same amount of tissue.

He measured me up, and my BBW is 13.3cm (not too much smaller than my estimated 14cm)
When I look at the Allergan implant sizes (that's what he uses) the starting volumes seem HUGE!!!!!!

He understands what I want, but will talk size more thoroughly when I have my prep appointment. He said he could make me a 'nice c' as a rough guide for what I want.

I told him that I would be more upset being too big than too small, then he made me laugh when he said "no one gets a b here" lol

I am 100% confident in his abilities and attitude.

Now all that's left is to book the surgery and play with sizes!!

I hope I can get the time off!!!!


Argh!! It's real!
