I am getting a breast augmentation on December 17th, 2013. I am getting between 500 and 550 ccs. I am not sure which one. I am getting saline through the belly button approach. I am 19 years old. I am 5'5. I weigh between 100 and 105 pounds. My doctor is Dr. David E Kim in Beverly Hills California.
Here are some before pictures. (For some reason a lot of people ask me if my boobs are real) So I guess that means they already look fake. Anyway I have never gotten a boob job in my life and this is the first one I am getting. VS says I am a 32C, but I feel like they exaggerate a lot. I would consider my self a small B cup.
Comment and let me know what size you think I should get.

did you consider silicon?

I did consider silicone, but I am only 20 years old, and you have to be 22 years old to get silicone in the US. Plus my doctor is going through my belly button, so there will be no scaring, and he wouldn't be able to do that with silicone.

i wish i had the boobs you have in your before pics! they are gorgeous. i can see why people ask if they are real, they're perfect! i'm sure that you will get great results as well though =) just a bigger version lol. i'm the same height and weigh 108-110, but i cant even fill up an a cup, ive tried several vs bras and even the smallest ones i could find are too big =/ i'm only going for 400-425cc and will end up about a c, i've heard from 2 doctors that 150cc is about a cup size depending on the bra. so if you are a b now and get 500-550cc then you can guestimate to be an f cup? i dont know lol. def keep us updated! i hope you have smooth sailing through your surgery and recovery =)

also i think you should try on sizers and see what you feel is best you! its your body so you know what you will feel comfortable with and what you like, its all a matter of opinion and everyone is unique in that!

Aw thank you! You made my day! Honestly I think mine got bigger from birth control. Hey you started out with Ds thats crazy!Pretty soon you will be overfilling the larger vs bras! I hope your surgery goes well as well! The way I chose my size actually I found a girl who was 120 and 5'5 and had 600 ccs with the same doctor as me. And she looks PERFECT. So since I weigh a little less, I would get a slightly smaller size and hopefully get similar results! I actually have tried rice sizers on, but I have heard they can be inaccurate sometimes.

and i wouldnt see you as a B .. because you have a 32 around.. taht SIZE on your body IS a C.. if you had a 36 around.. that would be an A cup.. 500cc will take you out of the normal range of bra sizes available in regular stores.. you would be around a E or F or even bigger. because im going with 400 and i have pretty much nothing.. so the 400 alone gives me about a D. 300 on top of that gets you to an E. That can be a good thing if thats what you want. or it can be very fake looking too. Dr kim is very good though.. i would trust HIM with what he thinks will give you the look you want to achieve.. good luck :)

Thank you :). I am actually not wanting the fake look at all, haha, but I guess every has their own opinion on what a fake look is. I am actually going for a similar size to some of the pictures you have posted. I actually feel really small. I am sooo tired of constantly wearing push up bras just to look normal. I think it might be because I have really wide hips. I will post up the video that helped me choose my size.

ok ya thats true! Im reallllyyy small. and have a butt so it makes it look even flatter so i get what you mean by the hips making the " hip boob" ration awkward in difference. The video you psoted I dont find looks fake. When i mean fake i mean like bolted on hahaha :P those just look like naturally sloped big boobs. I think with the amount of tissue you already have, your result will be exactly what u want :) !
User Avatar
December 6, 2013
Lol I know exactly what you mean by bolted on! haha. I also have a butt so I totally know what you mean. I have tried loosing weight when I was younger, but It didn't help because my hips didn't go anywhere! Thank you. BTW I think you will look great with the 400s. Our surgery dates are not that far apart!

Thank you! Yeah I am really tired of all the negativity in general. Its hard dealing with it from family, friends, and bf. This is the only place where we should all be able to understand what everyone is going through because we are all in similar situations, but you know theres always gonna be that one person who JUST HAS to say something negative. Lol , whatever, but same with you girl! I was reading your profile and saw that crap you dealt with that italian guy. I can't believe people are like that! Anyway I am excited to see your results! Wait are you in school and getting them over winter break ?
December 5, 2013
I have read many good reviews on Realself written from experiences with Dr. Kim. You are in skilled hands, so I would listen to his recommendation on size. Good luck!

So here is the video that helped me choose my size. As you can see she is pretty petite and ended up getting a 600cc and looks great. (In my opinion) (The first time she got a 400cc, and wasn't happy with the size so she ended up going bigger.) I am planning on going a little bit smaller than her because I weigh a little less, and I am starting out with more breast tissue than she did the very first time around. I hear of so many women getting Boob Greed, and thats my biggest fear!
BTW this is also my doctor.
Let me know what you guys think!

WOW- I love your boobs just the way they are now- lucky girl :) But I don't blame you for wanting to go bigger- I thought the plan from my PS was to do a 655 CC implant, but after the surgery I found out all he could squeeze in there was a 533-- I was a little dissappointed but now that I've been through an easy and painless recovery, I'm glad he didnt over-do it and give me too many CCs that my body couldn't handle b/c I bet my recovery would still be painful if he'd done that! Plus, everyone says my boobs fit my body and they look so natural on me! I'm happy with my results even though he went smaller than planned. Good luck with the size your PS chooses and I look forward to keeping up with your progress!

Your natural breast look great, I don't think you need fake one. The girl in this video her breast is huge for her body, looks fake!

I have already paid for the surgery, but I am starting to get cold feet! I am freaking out because I thought my boyfriend was the only one to tell me I am crazy, but as I tell people I am hearing it more and more. I don't know why I feel this way especially because for the past 2 and a half years getting this was the only thing I was thinking about. I like the way my breasts look now, but I just hate the size. I hate having to wear that 2 inch thick padded bra just to look even to the rest of my body, and even with that I feel like I look small! My biggest fear is that they will end up looking bad! Is it normal to feel this way? Did anybody else go through this? Let me know what you guys think!

I am in the same position as you - I just paid my deposit and now I just have to wait for a couple months before the actual surgery - and it's a weird feeling, right! I totally understand you wanting more, it's just a huge part of most of us women on this site, though I have to be honest and agree with a few other girls that seriously I would use your picture to show a Dr. what I want :) But for you I understand it may not feel that way, every woman's body is shaped different - and I especially am with you on the boob hip ratio, that's a huge thing I want balanced from BA. It sounds like you are 100% ready for this, so don't let your nerves take over! You've thought about this for a while and you clearly know exactly what you want - just like that video! I'm excited for you and wish you the best, let us know how it goes!

Thank you! :) Your getting yours done in Beverly Hills as well! Thats awesome! your going to have great results. Yes I definitely want to be proportionate without wearing a huge bra. I know they might look normal size to some people now, but a lot of people don't know how much smaller boobs look under clothes!. So I feel like what may look good in a bikini might look small under clothes. On top of that just like you said every woman's body is different. And theres sooooo many things to consider. Ultimately my goal is to find a middle size that will not look to big in a bikini, but at the same time fill out my clothes well. I am excited to see your results. Keep us updated as well.
December 6, 2013
Your girls look great, 500+ will look fab, cloths fit better, tank tops fill in better & your overall mind set will be positve, be prepared for the roving eyes.. I was unsure 5' 8 135# went 650 hp sil. & loving the ride, as you will.......Bigger is better....

December 7, 2013
Thanks! I think thats what I am most excited about just being able to wear tops and dresses I would have never dared to wear before! LOL on the roving eyes! Wow thats awesome! Im soo excited!!
December 6, 2013
Do you really want to know what i think? I am more than twice your age, I have had three kids and I look at you as a young girl with perfect breasts who is going to make a mistake! And you are right, it might not turn out how you want it to or there might complications. Why don't you put it on hold and think about it. Look at what other girls breasts look like and you will realise that you already have the dreambreast!

December 6, 2013
Im flat as a board and there will always be people who tell me not to get them. i know you only have good intentions but shes in good hands with dr kim and because she has a lot of breast tissue and already a nice shape they will probably turn out very nice.

You already have really nice boobs to begin with (Lucky you)! I think they will look awesome. Good luck with your surgery! I think 500 will look great on you! Do you know what profile you are getting?
User Avatar
December 8, 2013
Thanks! Yeah I think 500 will be a perfect size, but I am so scared I am going to regret not going bigger. Then again I have a decent amount of breast tissue already and i'm on the smaller side, so maybe 500 will be more than enough. Your results are nice in the bikini (on your profile pic) I cant tell that one is lower than the other, and they have such a natural slope! I read that your going to get 500s? How did you decide with the size?
December 8, 2013
Hi Amourag, as I said before went 650cc love my size........ You should go bigger 500 will look smaller under reg. cloths. 650ccis only about 2 tablespoons more & alittle less than 1 cup size up.

Do you mind me asking how much breast tissue did you start out with? Thank you for the advise btw!
