Glad to hear you have found RealSelf helpful! We look forward to supporting you on your journey! Have you had your pre op appointment where you discuss type and size of implant? What cup size are you trying to achieve? Feel free to post your "wish boob" photos. These will also be very helpful for your PS to see. Looking forward to your updates!

So i cant decide!!!!!

i have been to my consultation appointment, where we spoke about size, procedure etc. I decided then to go with a C cup size, but now a few days before op, I am so uncertain. Im worried that a C cup will be too big for me and will feel unnatural. so a C cup to me would be around 280 - 300cc. i am really hoping to just come out looking natural and fitting with my body.

I think the 280-300 range sounds right for a natural look for your size. Not too big at all. I also worried about going too large bc I didn't want a fake look just a normal size. I ended up going with 375cc under muscle silicone gel implants and am very happy with size. I think it all depends on how you want the end result to look and hopefully you were able to try different sizes at PS and see what you are hoping for. I was second guessing myself even hours before but tried on sizes again and still liked what I saw. Good luck!

thank you for the support, well mine will be over the muscle. the PS suggested, and prefers that. im hoping it all comes together and i decide soon enough.

Did you try on sizers at your plastic surgeons office? Also try doing the rice test sizers at home! It's not an exact science but it's a good way to help you get a grasp on how the different sizes would look on you! In the end just remember to go with your gut, and remember, you "lose" 50ccs going under the muscle! So if you like the way 300 sizers look on you, go 350 so once they're in your chest you will get the same projection the sizers gave you. Best of luck!

thanks, yes i did try on sizers but they were cup sizes. the B already look good i thought, but my PS said the C cup looked better on my body. and he also said i should rather go bigger than smaller because most women wish they went bigger. im doing over the muscle and have very little breast tissue. im not 100% sure why they prefer over here in SA.

As long as you feel comfortable with your choice and trust your surgeon then everything will be great! I used to leave in Lesotho actually, good luck with everything! Keep us updated!

are you crazy? Your body is stunning. Why would you want to make it top heavy? I just dont understand the reasons why almost anyone is doing this dangerous thing. 50% failure rate.
