Will I wish I had chosen a larger implant size? The next size silicone implant was WAY too big but these are too small. (photo)

Asked By:mrolover in Minneapolis, MN

I tried on silicone cups at my pre-op appointment. I went with 505ccs. I definitely want large enough breasts that others notice but not so big that people stop and stare. After hearing that everyone wishes they went bigger, I'm concerned that I will wish that I had gone bigger, too. They look great in the photos but I feel like they could be just a bit larger. Im just wondering if I should contact my doctor and request to go slightly bigger before my operation. How will my post op compare?
