You seem a lot like me. Do you have a before picture you could post??
The only before photos I have of are with clothes on so it's hard to really see the difference ... Which I can post some if you are looking for some form of a before! I wish I would have taken photos prior to surgery though :(
That's ok. My surgery is in 2 days (Friday) so I'm pretty much set. I'll be doing 350cc and I'm 5'6" 115lbs. Hopefully mine look as great as yours!
By the way, what size bra are you now that you're probably all settled?
Thank you so much, I'm sure yours will turn out great! I fit a 34 C and 32 D perfectly.
Did you get high profile, moderate or teardrop 400cc implants? I love your look!!!!!!
I just read and saw what you have!! That's what I want. My surgery is in 2 weeks. Do you have a pre op picture? I love your look!! I'm 6ft though. I wonder if I'll be a C. Thats what I'm aiming for. I'm currently a 34AA
The only photos I have from before are with clothes, so it's hard to tell what I had (which was literally almost nothing lol). I can say though, that I started out not even being able to fill out an A cup and now I'm a full C / small D! I would think 400ccs would get you a full C, but everyone is different so it's hard to say for sure. I hope your surgery goes perfect and you get the look you're going for! :)
AvaMarie93, how long did your swelling last for? And approximately how long did you regret feeling like you went too big? That is my biggest fear going into surgery getting 400s that I'm going to come out regretting the size I got because of the swelling etc. I think it might ease my mind to hear your emotional thought process immediately following surgery. Your results at five months post op are amazing and I hope to look half as good as you do with my augmentation. I'm debating between 375 to 425 Mentor high-profile sub muscular silicone implants. I'm currently in a 34 AA bra or even smaller.
The first couple of days were mentally difficult for me. One day I loved them, the next day they were too big, then too small, it was a roller coaster ride of emotions for me lol. Thank God after everything has settled I could not be any happier! My swelling took at least 2 months to completly settle. Immediately after surgery I felt happy with my size decision, but I also was so swollen it was hard to tell what they looked like. About three or four days later I remember looking at myself in the mirror thinking "what in the world have I done to myself?!?! I look sooo fake and I've ruined my body." But when you go from barely an A cup your entire life to a C/D cup within a few hours, your chest just feels extremely tight and it was making me feel like I was a lot bigger than I actualiy was. I remember right before surgery I was afraid 400ccs were going to be too big for me and I told my doctor I wanted 325CCs instead. He told me that when you're stuck between two sizes, it's usually best to go with the larger choice. I'm glad he told me that and I'm even more glad I took his advice, so 400ccs it was! Sorry for such a late response! I'm happy to help in anyway! I hope everything turns out PERFECT for you! When is your surguery scheduled for??
I love this comment! I'm starting from a 34AA too so hearing how you coped with going bigger is a great insight to how I may feel afterwards. Thank you for your honesty :)
You look great and I love that top! I'm hoping for a result very similar to yours. Our stats are really close. My consultation is next week. I can't wait to see the biggest size recommended for me LoL!
Thank you so much! I hope everything goes great at your consultation! I remember being so nervous going to my first consultation, but before you know it you're having surgery! Good luck and I hope everything goes wonderful! :)
Thank you! My consult is tomorrow and I'm already getting excited/nervous haha!

You look amazing!!!! Omg you're so luckyy that size fits you perfectly. I hope my surgery goes as good as yours :( What type of implant do you have? Saline or silicone? Teardrop or round? Low, moderate or high? Lol sorry for all the questions
Thank you so much!! I'm happy to answer your questions lol! I have round silicone, high profile! I hope your surgery goes great, I'm sure it will!!! If there's anything else you would like to know I'm more than happy to help! Best wishes! :)
Your results are stunning. Absolutely freakin' stunning.
Thank you so much!! :)
You look perfect! I was concerned if my 375cc would be too big, but you relaxed me!
Thank you!! I'm glad I could help. I was stuck between 350-400ccs. I thought 400ccs would look HUGE on me, but I'm so glad I went with the larger size! Good luck to you!!! :)
Wow I've never seen hp look so natural! Your results are amazing!
Thank you so much, that means a lot! :)
