I am 29 and underwent a primary breast augmentation on 4/13/10. The first thing that my PS said to me when I came out from surgery is, "I used 400cc." During preoperative we had discussed using 300-325cc. When I asked him why he had used that size he said that when he sat me up they fit my body better. I started off a 34A/32B (5'3", 105 pounds)and had desired a 32C. Now I am afraid that I will be bigger than I had desired (I'm a yoga instructor, I can't be big). Transaxillary, subglandular, 400cc, memory moderate-plus. What now?
