I have not gotten my breast augmentation yet. I would love to get it done next month. I am a 34A, athletic built, 5'3" and weight 120lbs. I work out at the gym and play football. I would love to give up Football for Boobies though. :) What would be the proper size I should get inorder to be a full C cup.

I want silicone implants.

Are the Silicone implants safe?? I heard silicone implants give you a more natural look, but have the potential to leak? Is that correct? Looking forward to hearing back from anyone out there. Thanks

With the new silicone implants there will be no leaking. If it is that bad it wouldn't be out on the market. Silicone now can get damage just as saline, only thing different is that saline is salt water base. If a saline implants were to rupture you boobs will look like a flat tire. (Thats in my perspective.) I don't want saline not because its cheap or because its salt water base but i dont like the way they feel. Silicone implant can get damaged too but its not fluid so its not like it'll leak anywhere and if there is a tear I'm pretty sure the latest implant are to stay in tack. Only problem about silicone is that if its damaged you can not tell unless you get your breast examine. But that why i want silicone. :)

We are similar stats and I got 340 saline unders (Natrelle 68HP) and I believe I will be a full C cup when the swelling goes down completely. I've read that silicone compresses more under the muscle, but that may not be accurate. Mine are beginning to look very natural. I need to put up a new pic. My early ones are pretty scary! They look much nicer now.

Hi! It also depends if you opt for saline or silicone. But we are close to the same size and shape so feel free to look at my info for ideas! I ended up w 375 moderate plus profile in silicone and I love them! Good luck!

Thanks so much for starting your story on RealSelf! Different implants look different on each individual. When you have your consultation and try on sizers, you'll get a much better idea of what will work.

Here's what some doctors say about breast implants and cup sizes.
