WORTH IT$5,700

I have wanted a boob job since I was in my twenties, I have never had big breast outside of pregnancy! I have put it off for too long, im 42 and figured its now or never!! I have a couple of friends who have implants(u couldnt tell), and that was my epiphany, Im like "I want boobs too!!" So i had my consult Feb 4, and im set to go on Feb 28th, I cant believe it! I am an A cup and I want to be a full C or small D, so I picked a 350cc saline,which will be placed under the muscle(smooth texture)..after looking over other reviews I cant help to wonder if i should up it to 400cc's! What do u guys think? Im 5'7' 160 pounds 34-27-42 measurments....

Yes your body could take 400 they say take whatever size you want and add 15% because the muscle pushes it down I wanted 450s and went with 485 instead and happy I did

Maybe you just have dense breasts and they need another angle? That happens to me every year. Please let us know how it went.

Hello! I just had my BA Feb 11th, i'm 135 pounds, 5'5 and 36 A. I choose 400cc under the muscle, silicone med profile. They look great. My Dr said ever 200cc is a cup size bigger. If you want to be a good C, i would go with 400cc. Look up the rice test! This really helped me out. You can find the formula here on Real Self. Good Luck!

Congrats!! The sizers look great. I too decided to go larger after reading reviews. Right now I am thinking 450ccs, but sometimes I toss around the idea of 500. The CC's sound high, but from what I can tell the resulting size truly depends on body frame, pre-op size and the like.
