Hey there. I was reading this website and thought you might like these facts.

Implant Size Facts and Trends
■The most common implant size women choose is 350cc.
■By far the most common complaint that women have after their breast augmentation was not going big enough.
■Under-sizing on the first surgery is understandable because most women are afraid of going to big and not of going too small. As a result, revision surgeries for size increases are extremely common.
■The most popular size increase for average framed women between 5’2” to 5’5” tall is in the 400cc to 550cc range.
■The roughly 100-150cc average increase is a good indicator of what most women under-size their implants by. One woman tells her tale:



What causes patient dissatisfaction with size?


■Women with smaller breasts often feel that if they had “just a little more” then they would be content with their look. But this is a mindset that causes further dissatisfaction. If a woman gets an implant that lacks proper fullness for her body, quite often she will be discontent with her implant size.
■To avoid this problem, think in terms of what would look ideal on your body, instead of what you think might look “good enough.” Implants do not come in cup sizes. It is very common for a woman who sets an arbitrary goal of a “C cup” (a common size goal) to be disappointed by her size choice.
■When in doubt, go bigger. Women who feel they went too big are rare. But women who say they went too small are frequent and possibly even the majority of 1st time breast enhancement patients.
■Don’t be intimidated by old and misleading stereotypes about breast size. Popular media often sends the message that DD cup breasts are very large or overly sexual. The truth is that the most common cup size in America is DD, with the D cup being the second most common size. There are many women who wear E-F cup bras (and these sizes also do not stand out in regular clothing).


These larger implants have a sexy look in lingerie and are still easily hidden away in clothing

It really is your clothing, not your bra size, that controls your look. If the sizers end up showing you that DD breasts look the best, then choose them. It is far more important to have full, proportional breasts, than to restrict yourself to an arbitrary cup size.
■The only correct way to see what looks good on you is by using sizers. Learn how to make Rice Sizers and try out different cc sizes from home.
■Sizers (both Rice and Gel ones) appear significantly larger than the real thing. Implants in your body will shrink by 15-25% due to compression from your body. Sizers are also outside of your body, which again makes them look larger because they project outwards more than actual implants do. Remember to add at least 20% extra cc’s to the volume of your sizers to get more accurate size for your real implants.

Hey there! Things are going great! It has been a month and 2 days since the surgery and I honestly look and feel like I never had surgery at all! No issues what so ever. They both have dropped into place and are soft. My scars look really good. The itching after he took off the bandages was horrible! Probably my biggest complaint about the whole process which isnt bad considering it is a major surgery. I would do it all over again if I had to. How are you doing?? Still going crazy on the size issue? I can honestly say now, dont worry about them being to big! They wont be. I am another one of those statistics that wishes they would have gone bigger :( I am VERY VERY happy though. My husband and I have already discussed that when I have my next surgery we will probably go to around 550-600cc. Although I am a 36D right now, it doesnt look or feel like it to me. So much so that NO ONE has even noticed. My best friend didnt even find out till I told her last week. And I have seen her alot since the surgery. Once I told her, then she noticed the fullness and got jealous. LOL but other than that, you cant even tell. You will be fine, I PROMISE. You have to remember that when you try on the sizers they are placed over the muscle and fat so they look MUCH larger than once they are put under the muscle. I think I would have been pleased if they would have stayed looking like they did with the sizers. But its okay, im not complaining. It is all a learning experience and next time I will know to be specific of how I want them to look. I will be in Houston on the 11th of May. Will you be there?

How funny that you would mention this issue! Just last night I told my husband how my boobs were finally looking different. My right breast seems like it dropped, got softer and my left is high and hard :/

The sizers dont really do justice to the actual size. Believe me, when I tried on my sizers in his office they gave me that same "in your face" look that you have in that tight white shirt they give you lol I dont have that same look now. They are nice and subtle. I would have went a little larger like I said, but then again you have a little more breast tissue to begin with. Wish I could help you out there. I think you will be fine, if your worry is that they look to large then I say you stick with that size because once he inserts them under the muscle they will go down. I really wish I would have taken some pictures with the sizers. He knew that my main goal was to keep me looking natural and make me as even as possible, and he did both of those things. So now that he knows the guess work to making my boobs even when I go back to have them redone I want to go larger. You will be fine with that size. I sent you an e-mail did you get it?

No worries, I promise :) Have a goods night rest and it will all be over in the blink of an eye! You all will do fantastic tomorrow!!!! Best wishes for a speedy recovery!
