I am 5”5, 105 lbs. Pre-Op 32A-Hoping for a Full C,400CC,silicone,Mod+, under.

I had BA on 11/20/09; I am almost 8 weeks post-op. I feel kind sad sometime cuz for a thin person like me; I thought 400CC would look big on me. My Dr told me he put 400CC on me. Dr can’t lie to you right? To him he think they are big on me but to me and some of my friends said NO, they don’t look big, they looks natural on me. Natural? Hm….its seems like they’re trying to be nice not to say they look small on me? People can’t even tell I had boobs job done when I wear blouses unless I wear low cut shirts. I feel kind a sad sometime. I hope in 6 month I will see something different.

I did it so I fit into my outfits more. I don’t want to wear padded bra anymore. I want to take off my clothes there I able to see big boobs on my chest.

Hi, I understand exactly how you feel as I too had my implants exchanged back in September 2009. I had 330cc saline implants and were replaced with 550cc silicone implants. I also thought and was under the impression that I would appear larger breasted. After 4 months of being unhappy about the outcome, I scheduled another surgery which is in 3 weeks. I chose 800cc Mentor silicone implants. I am only 5'2" and about 115 lbs. The doctor did state that because of the weight of the larger implant, I will need a breast lift in about 10 years. I am looking forward to my next surgery although my peers think I am out of my mind.
Hi again, I just had my 3rd implant surgery yesterday. I chose Mentor Smooth HP 800cc implants (under the muscle). I had 550cc for 6 mos. but just wasn't happy with how my bras fit - breasts were too small for DD but too large for D size cups. I am so happy with the 800cc size - I look full chested but not overly huge. My plastic surgeon stated that because silicone implants are more compressed than saline, that I would have great results, and I did.
Hi beccaCA, glad you got the upgrade you wanted. Even more glad that you're pleased with the results! If you have any further updates (as things settle in), please share.
Hi ~ After 11 days since my surgery, I took measurements of myself and according to the bra size calculator, I am a 34DDD. We shall see if this changes as time goes by! I am super happy with the results!!! I can still wear my VS Very Sexy bras in 32DD but I am overspilling on top and on the sides....because this is my fav bra and this is the largest cup size made, I am not sure what style from VS I should try???
Hi beccaCA, VS might have some great bras, but they're somewhat limited when it comes to larger cup sizes. There are quite a few other options out there, many with great return options. Drop me a PM for a list.
Hi. I just had mine done about 7 weeks ago. I only had 250cc silicone implants put in & I am a little disappointed that I didn't go bigger. I'm considering changing them to 350cc or 400cc in a few months. My friends think I'm crazy but I just thought they would turn out bigger than they are now. I do have a small frame. I'm 5'5" and 107lbs & they think I may look top heavy. I was wondering if your surgeon charged you the same fee as the original surgery or was it less?
Hi, I actually was given a considerable discount the 2nd time around. Normally the first surgery for silicone implants in my area is about $6K....I was charged only $3,500 for the 2nd upgrade. I am very pleased with my doctors work. I have had no problems at all.
How soon did you go back? I want to go back as soon as possible so that people don't know I went in twice. I'm hoping he doesn't charge me too much. Thanks for the info.
it all depend on your PS. My PS said i can go back in a 1 1/2 yr. You should talk to your PS about it. :)
where was this?
You should have gotten the serial numbers for your implants. I don't know offhand whether this indicates the rated size. I would also think you could ask your surgeon to confirm in writing (he could simply show you your surgical record, I would think). That said, if you're not happy, give your current implants time to heal, like 6 months or more, before upsizing. Maybe change from mod profile to high profile, although you then might need to get larger overall implants to compensate for the HP's slightly narrower diameter.
I received a card from my surgeon listing the serial numbers of each implant which references the implant size.
Yes I checked that card serial#; my Dr did put 400CC, mod plus on me. I love my side boobs and shape, he did really good job on me but I wish I have higher projection also. I wish I have gone to 500CC or 550CC.
Note that an increase of 125cc is only about half a cupsize. If you feel so inspired, try doing the "rice test" to see whether 125cc will be sufficient, as you no doubt want to avoid going back for a 3rd surgery.
Am having breast implants which are 375cc silicone gel on 21st April at Bumrungrad Hospital, Bangkok. Surgeon recommended the above sized implants, but I am thinking should I opt for the 400cc instead. I am 5ft 7ins tall, 122lbs, slim frame, ribcage 32ins and currently 34b pre-op, should end up with 'C' cup - don't want to be disappointed with the 375's following surgery Any advice would be more than welcomed.
If you are doubting your size choice now you should probably go larger. I chose the 375 under the muscle and went from an A to an average C using Cohesive Gel implants. I am only 7 weeks postop but if I had it to do again, I would have chosen 450s.
I guess for the first time 400CC sounds so big, but now since i had them on me 400CC seems so small. I thought 400CC is the right size and will look big on me. I try to avoid the second surgery that why I chose 400CC. First I was going to choose 350CC instead. :( My doctor said I can redo mine in a year and half but I have to change from mod plus to high profile because my BWD only 13cm. I didn't even know how much he's going to charge me, I didn't ask him. LOL Since my BWD is 13cm, I think I can go as big as 550CC HP. :)
