Nervous About my Spontaneous Decision - Dallas, TX

Hello there. I was an A cup and just had 280cc put in and to me they are more than big. I would have preferred 250 really. After 44 years of being a small A, it is still, 12 weeks on, very strange to have these lumps in front of me. I think on your small frame (I'm 5' 5" - 125lbs) 440cc sounds too big. Just having 280cc felt brutal enough when I woke up and for a couple of weeks afterwards. I don't mean to scare you but too many people declare how great they feel 3 days later and tell you they went shopping etc - well, I was nothing like that. It was bloody horrible and sore. Make sure you have a good support network for at least 2 weeks. It will be hard to open doors, for instance, for quite a while. And I still wince when trying to shut my car trunk door (an overhead one) I hope it goes well for you.

I think 440 would bring you to at least a DD! I got 400cc's, and I haven't officially gone bra shopping yet but I bought one last month just so I'd have something to wear. It's a 34DD, the band is a little loose, and now my boobs are too big for the cups. I guess cup size is all relative to band size but I'm assuming you have a fairly small band measurement. Are you going for a somewhat natural and conservative look or something more noticeable? I personally think that 440 seems large for your frame but it all depends on the look you're after :). Good luck with everything!

I do not know your stats but I'm 5'7" 140lbs and I got 435cc and 401cc don't know my official size yet but they are plenty big enough. I think you will be happy with 440cc's. I'll be following your journey.

Hey there. I had sientra round textured 435cc put in. They are nice but pretty big! I'm 5'5 and 125 lbs. I run and work out a lot so I sometimes wish I went smaller. Are you getting anatomicals? Also, I don't mean to scare you but I thinks it's really strange your doc wasn't at the pre op or post op....

Congratulations on setting your date. My decision was pretty quick too even though I had thought about it for years. I'm 5'4/125lbs. I went with Sientra anatomical gummy bear implants. Round base. Did 270cc on left and 320cc on rt. I now measure 32DDD/34DD/34D depending on bra. I was an A /small B to begin with. A lot of your implant size is measured by your BWD (breast width). The cc's I got were as much as my BWD could handle in that particular implant. Good luck with everything. If you go to the search bar at the top of the page and type in "August breast augmentation", hit Search, there will be a link to a forum. There are lots of ladies in there to ask questions of, they support one another, and are a goofy bunch sometimes. You're all welcome to join in!

Hi annacoel, I don't understand why your PS won't be there either. Hmmmm? I'm 5'11 and weigh 145. I got 400cc moderate profile Sientra's with a classic base. I tried on 450 and thought "Uh, no way!" They looked way too big. I work out too and didn't want my breasts hindering my lifestyle either. I knew if I got 450's that my implants would rub against my arms, and I didn't want that kind of side boob going on. You may request to see him, I would. It's your money, and your body that you'll have to live with. Don't fall for the boob greed thing either. Get an imant that is going to fit your body and that you'll be satisfied with. Being almost 6 feet tall and really lean I knew that most women built like me don't have big ole knockers. I wanted a natural look. I did a Spartan Sprint race 6 months after my surgery and I was worried that my implants were going to be harmed. I put on my bullet proof sports bra that I purchased and went for it. I felt fine but was also so happy that I didn't go bigger. Also remember to listen to that little voice in your head, it's usually right. You can also get a second consultation. It's okay if you've already paid, as long as you get it soon and get your money back from this current surgeon before it's too late. Good luck to you, I hope that you'll be happy with whatever you decide. It's a major surgery. I didn't want to have to go through it twice with downsizing.

You look very toned and athletic. I was athletic (a two sport athlete in college) before I got my implants at age 26. Mine were as small or smaller than yours are now and I just wanted to be more filled out and less self-conscious. I was focused mostly on how they would look and less on how they would feel, which was a mistake. I found that they interfered a lot more than expected in physical activities and was never happy with them for a lot of reasons you can read on my page. I had them removed last December, after 17 years with them, and it feels so good to have my smaller, fully natural breasts again. I love and appreciate them in ways I wouldn't have if I hadn't had the implants. I feel so much freer, able to be more physical again and more comfortable with myself. I'm not trying to discourage you from getting implants, just giving you a heads up to think about how it will feel to have them in 24/7. And be careful about going too large. Mine were 270 and 260 cc, and I thought they were too big for me (I'm 5'6" and 128 lbs). I don't mean to be a downer. I just identify with you because of your build and obvious athleticism, and wanted to let you know what my experience had been. Whatever you ultimately decide, I wish you good luck!

I definitely don't see me ever getting rid of them but I absolutely appreciate your input on size. Maybe I won't go so big because working out means everything to me and I don't want to stop going as hard as I do.

You will love your new girls. I promise, you will not miss your small ones. I freaked out kinda a day before surgery wondering if this was a good choice. Trust me, you will have no doubt after you experience the bigger ones. Lol. I am 6 weeks post op today and could not be happier. Good luck, and keep us posted. :)

Stopping by to say hi and hope your surgery went well. I chose Sientra 545cc today and was researching them and came across your profile. Im excited for you and cannot wait to see your outcome. :)
