I am 29 5'1 117 lbs and have had one child. I was almost 200 lbs when I delivered and I breastfeed so I have had large boobs before. I was a 34 a/b pre op. When I had consultation I told my dr I wanted to be a big c again and wanted one step above just natural look. He said 350-375cc high profile and I said if you do 400 cc then I wanted 400 he said he would try. well when I woke up from surgery they told me I got 325cc and I feel like he could have gone bigger but he saying that's the biggest.
