I am having my BA done a week from today. My surgeon has suggested I get 457 cc & silicone implants above the muscle. My husband & I are a little aprehensive about them being too large. I am only 5' & 109 lbs. However, I am a current deflated 36 B so I think I have alot of extra tissue or sag that he may be taking into account that I may not know. I do trust my surgeon so much because he performed my tummy tuck & it turned out great. Just thought I would get others to weigh in with their opinions. Thanks! So excited!

I just had my surgery yesterday! I did 475 implants and a lift. I am happy with the results and almost which now that I would have gone 500CC. The pain isnt terrible. I have more in my back and a little under my breasts but I think thats from the lift. I just hope that they stay this way! I have horrible skin tissue around my breast but my doc just recommends a good support bra which is funny bc I cant wear a bra and no underwire for 6months!!! Good luck with everything and I think you are making a great choice!

I had to get a lift but so far very happy with the results. Now if only they would stay this way! lol

One question that I've heard of doctors asking before surgery is: "Would you rather I err on the side of too big or too small?" I think that's a great question and you might want to tell your doctor what your answer would be to that.
Good luck! I hope you love your size.
Here's a list of supplies you might want to consider for recovery.

think you should have them under the muscle, they are less likely to sag as they will be supported better by your tissues. I have just had 460cc removed and downsized to 360cc with an uplift. I got back ache from the weight of them plus the surgeon could not get the left one leve with 2 attempts as he said my tissues in the left side couldn't support the weight - may have been bad surgeon though as i had to go to another for this op because the other one left me high and dry with wonky breasts saying he had done all he could - nightmare - 3 ops later i am hoping they will be right - 3 days post op now but good luck anyway, as long as surgeon is good i think you will be ok

I am 5' and at the time of my BA about 125lbs. I went under the muscle and got 400cc high profile silcone. I would go under the muscle if I were you. They look and feel more real. Also they are much better supported. You can go to my profile and look at my before and aftre pic if ya want.

So today is the day after my surgery. From what I can tell I really love them but hope they don't go down too much with the swelling. The boobs them selves haven't been bad at all but holy cow the lipo of my is what's killing me. But I know it will be worth. Thanks for all the advise & words of wisdom from you all. I will be posting pics along my journey. Thanks everyone!

I started with a deflated B and some extra skin .. not quite as much skin and breast tissue as you and went with 457 ccs, silicone, moderate profiles. They are great .. I actually wish I went bigger. They are TOO easy to cover up LOL! Good luck! :) xoxo

I'm swollen now & love the current size so I'm really hoping I don't wish I had gone bigger by the time the swelling goes down. I can't wait to see them w/ out bandages!!!
January 31, 2013
Aw! Lol. They say you lose a cup size once the swelling is all done but every one is so different. I think I am still having boob greed. Can't wait to see them without the bandages either lol!! Whoo hoo!

oh my gosh, you got 475 cc's and you feel that you should've gone bigger? I feel like I'm totally lost with cc amounts and that everyone on this site gets at least 400.

I went with 457 .. Perhaps I should have gone with a bigger projection. I don't know yet. I love them .. I will give them some time but definitely would recommend going bigger lol :-)
