I have wanted to get a BA for 10 years. I work out 6 times a week and am very happy with my body, except of course my small, saggy breasts. This website has been amazing. It makes me happy to see the path that other women have gone down. I have the same questions and concerns as most of you. I have so many friends in the medical profession and I have done so much research. I chose my PS after many consults and referrals. I felt so comfortable with Dr. Lista. Now the size debate begins.....He recommends Cohesive Gel (Gummy Bear), round implants, Armpit incision, with a range from 375-500 cc’s. Not sure about which profile yet, it is between moderate or high. I will post my before pics in a bit.

Congratulations first of all ! That seems to be the question for all of us. If you PS knows what your goal is then he/she can come up with the right size. Like I am sure you have read on this site before. You can't really go by cup size or cc's because every one is different depending on your size and build. Wish you the best of luck and I drove myself crazy going back and forth. But I am very happy with my results told my PS what I was hoping for and he agreed with me on what I came up with. (pretty much from trying the sizers on)

That's what I hear, guess it depends on what you really want. I didn't want to look out of proportion. I am a little taller 1-1/2in and 5 lbs. heavier. I ended up with 339 mod + and I am happy. But then again depends on how wide your chest is and the profile. Have you had a chance to try on some sizers ?

I tried on between 400 - 500ccs sizers. That is the range he gave me. Not really that much of a difference. My husband said go for the 500ccs. :) I'm thinking 450 - 475.

That would be right in the middle . Husbands lol of course go for the biggest. I Actually brought my husband with once and was debating between the 339 on 371 and he said go for the 371. I just felt more comfortable with he smaller size. I told him he would always choose the bigger one and have me in 700 if he could. Well your right there isn't that big of difference between each size I heard about a shot glass :-) I am sure you will look great with whatever you decide.

Hi I am booked with dr. lista in Jan. 2015 I am so excited and nervous, I love your results, you look amazing. I am not as fit as you bt have a wider frame, I am 145lbs at present and have lost 7 lbs trying to get ready , I am trying to decide between 500 and 550cc I see you have 500 and it looks totally natural, do you regret size at all?

He is amazing. I have a family member who is a medical rep for one of the implant companies. She was just at a conference and his name came up the entire week as being one of the best in the country. Keeping my fingers crossed :)

Worried that 475 is going to be too big.

Thanks for sharing your pics. I'm 36 years old and have my BA (and Tummy Tuck) scheduled for March 18th in the GTA as well. My Surgeon recommends going with 500cc Cohesive Gel High Profile implants, but I'm SCARED that this is too big for me. Have you made a final decision on what size? I go in a week from Wednesday to have my pre-op appt. and have to have decided by then (so they can order everything.)

I am going this Thursday to try on sizers again. I'm so unsure. My PS said he does not do big round fake breasts. I chose him bc he has such a great reputation for fantastic natural looking BA's. It seems like so many women wish they had gone bigger!! I'll post pictures from the sizers appt Thursday.
