Athletic build wanting natural looking breasts. Will 225 CCs be too small? (photos)

March 2, 2015
Asked By:Lbp2uk in Bible School Park, NY

I'm a retired athlete & currently wear size 36A bra. I have a BA next week and have decided on submuscular placement with inframmamary incision. I'm going back and forth between size 225 and 250 CCs. I have wide swimmer shoulders and developed lats as most swimmers do. My Dr told me that going under the muscle won't affect final implant size, but I don't want to regret going too big or too small initially. I still swim recreationally and want to look like a better version of myself. Suggestions?
