I have wanted boobs since all my life. It never happened for me. I did gain some volume while breastfeeding but only enough to be a full B. I wore a C bra but it had tons of space unless I was completely engorged!
My surgery is scheduled for JAN 31. In exactly 2 weeks I will have boobs!
I'm having so much trouble deciding on CC's. I want a very natural look. I want to Beable to look small when I want yet still have enough to show off when I want as well. I would rather have smaller boobs and wish I went a little bigger than have big boobs and wish I went smaller. I don't like to draw too much attention to myself. I just want to feel sexy in my own skin. I initially went into my consultation thinking 350-375cc of silicone. After trying on the sizers I might even go up to 450. I'm so scared of being too big, but also don't want to be too small. Real self has been awesome to look through but it also makes me realize every individual wears their implants differently. I think I will leave it up to the surgeon.

Hey guuurl, I just had my BA 4 days ago & had 375cc round high impact & absolutely love them so far! I feel the size is perfect for me. I was the exact same as you in my thinking I want to have a really nice chest in a bikini but don't want them to make me look big as I'm a size 6(UK) size 2(USA) in clothing! I'm sure you will be happy with whatever you choose in the end just bare in mind exactly why you want to have the BA most of all when making your decision & you'll have nothing to worry about xx

I'm 5'6", 125 lbs and I just got 435cc implants. My doctor tried both 385 and 435 during the operation and decided on the larger size based on the photos of my dream boobs and what my body will adapt to the most naturally without having the round edge on top. I was surprised. We had started out talking much smaller then eventually got bigger, but I've always been prepared for around 400. I feel they are a little too big right now, so I'm hoping they are smaller when they drop. My husband thinks they are just perfect and he's glad I didn't go smaller, even though he had said before that he thought this was too big in the rice sizers. Sheesh, men.

@underdog56 haha. My husband surprised me too. He never wanted me to get a BA but after yrs of asking he finally gave in and at the consultation, he wanted me to get the biggest size! I was like what is this!? All of a sudden your a big boob guy? Lol . I just looked at your pics. It's still so early to tell but I don't think they will look to big at all on you!

Very exciting!! Let us know what you choose! I guess being nervous is the norm. I'm trying to stay calm! I made rice sizers and trying to get used to the size to see if that helps!

I initially wanted 375 mod+ but after trying on sizers idk. I chose 400 and the doctor will pick the profile. He knows exactly what I want so I will trust him. I'm. Instantly battling my decision. Idk what the right size is because it seems to look different on everybody. Yay for JAN 31st!

It is exactly 2 weeks until my surgery date . I am getting so excited! I am still unsure about the size but I am sure I want to stay in the 375-450 range so I will trust my surgeons decisions since I have stressed what I want to look like. He knows better than me so I will just let go and hope for the best. I Just don't want to be too big. If I'm over a double D I will be sad. That's too big for me. I want a small D. Definitely want enough boob to have that nice dropped and fluffed look. I don't want my boobs to have 0 shadow in the crease. That is just too perky looking but I guess that all just depends on how the body heals. Here is a couple of before pics.

Hey girl, so excited for you! I'm getting my ba done in two weeks too and I can't wait :) what profile did you end up picking?

Hey! Well I think they said if I go over 400 then it will be HP and if I go under 400 it will be moderate plus. I have finally decided on 400/425. I'm asymmetrical so one will have to be bigger but the bigger boob of the 2 will have 400. So I'm guessing they'll do hp. I'm so ready now. I sent my doctor my wish pics so I'm sure it will turn out ok. My nerves have finally settled and I'm not worried it will turn out too big anymore. What are you going with?

400/425cc

I've finally decided I'm going to do 400cc. I am getting silicone cohesive gel. It's not the gummy bear but it's firmer than the classic silicone. Less likely to ripple. Anyways, I have asymmetry so I will have a bigger size on the smaller breast but ultimately it will look like a 400cc would look. I think that will make me happy and be the perfect size for me. I hope I don't have boob greed but if I do I'd rather play it safe than sorry. I would be much sadder if I went too big.
I'll pay my final payment today.
Now to just wait 13 more days.
So excited.

I'm getting the same implant too
January 21, 2017
I hope you keep posting updates! My stats are similar to yours (same height/weight/breastfed/a cup) and I feel the same way about wanting a natural look but not too small. I'm nervous about picking a size. I bet the 400 will look great! Good luck!

Thank you! I will try to update a lot. I'm not really good at this kind of thing but realself has helped a lot so I would like to be helpful to others on this site as well! I think 400 will be good! I know a girl half my size who got 300 and she's breastfeeding on top of having implants and hers don't look big at all. So I'm not toooo worried anymore about coming out too big. I want them to be natural looking for sure.

I just got 435cc and they are way bigger than I thought they would be. I'm starting to get over the shock.

I totally understand! I thought I wanted 400cc, but my doctor at first recommended 325's, then after trying sizers I decided on 375. I told her I would like to be a full C/small D, but cup sizes are very subjective, depending on the manufacturer. I brought in many photos of the boobs I wanted - I have a celebrity who is about my age, size and is a perfect 34C. She's wearing a bra usually and doesn't show cleavage, so I guess it's a little harder to tell, and sometimes the camera and angle can make them look larger, then people speculate that she's had a boob job! I even had a video of her, but I didn't show that to my doctor. My doctor tried 385cc and 435cc on me and when I woke up I had the 435's. I'm still in shock of how big they are on top - even with all the reading about it, it was not what I was expecting. I feel like I overshot my goal, but I've been told that they will lose volume and the round top edge when the muscles calm down and the swelling goes away.

It might help for you to go to Victoria's Secret with your rice sizers and have the ladies there help you. They see boobs in all stages of recovery and can help you decide and prepare for the change.
