Asked By:ralonzo2380 in New Jersey, NJ

Before i decided to have it done immediately I told to my doctor that I wanted to be a little bigger than my normal boobs and he said He can go up to 450 cc. Im always a B cup and wanted a C I think its just fair to have it after all Ive been through. Yesterday appt he told me he only give me a b cup. Im really upset and I feel like he's not listening to me.
