Hi there!
I am 5'2, 115-120lbs, Asian if that matters. I don't hate my current breasts and think they're pretty cute currently. I really like the shape and my nipples. With that being said, I do want them to be bigger so my body looks more proportional and feminine. I'm hoping to end up a small/med C cup.
My doctor recommends round silicone, 265cc high profile. Which I originally agreed with but now the internet has me questioning if I should go with the 295cc considering it's not too much bigger? I am terrified of going too big but will be disappointed if I go too small. However, I think I would much unhappier if they turned out bigger than I wanted. I can always use bras for a fuller look but I do want to fill out a bikini top.
265cc pros/cons:
- will put me at a small C I think
- probably not noticable difference in clothes
- probably able to wear old bralettes and bikini tops
- nervous that I will lose some size/volume because I'm going under the muscle
295cc prons/cons:
- full C?
- from what I've read nearly everyone stuck between sizes wishes they went bigger
I'm just worried that with the 265cc I'll end up smaller than I want because we are going under the muscle. Will the high profile make up for it? What do you think?

have a look on this site at before and afters with particular sizes http://www.simplybreastimplants.com/breast_augmentation_photos/set181.html

that link won’t work. go to simply breast implants dot com then go to before and after photos and there’s a chart where you can select particular sizes to see an idea of how they look.

if you click on the heading ‘cc amount’ it I’ll put the pics in order starting with the smallest cc amount. 265 tends to go up a cup size but 295 is very little more (3 table spoons) so would be minimal difference.

Hi! Thank you so much.. I appreciate your replies and support! It’s tough talking about it with friends bc they don’t get the terminology and sizing differences lol
December 21, 2017
Also, I’ve read your review and I know I’m going to have the same feelings of uncertainty post-op. I’ve wanted to do this for so long but I know I’ll have instant regret right after. It’s a huge adjustment and will be tough mentally which is why I’m using this review as my own personal journal and outlet. It really helps when I see that there are others that struggle mentally afterwards because I know my head will be a mess as well.

I discovered this forum after I’d made my choice. if I could have picked 365 I would. when they were swollen they were big but I it used to having that size so hen swelling went down I felt like I had lost quite a bit of size. now they’re settled I love them. in clothes no one knows I have them done an they don’t ‘stick out’ but naked or in a bra you can really see a difference but it looks proportionate. I was terrified of choosing a size that would make them too big so was going for 295 myself with the idea of having the option to make them look bigger with a bra because if you go too big you can’t make them smaller. but I’m sooooo pleased I did not go with first surgeon and her idea of sizes and went with second surgeon and a bigger size altogether.

I really struggled with the acceptance and the change. even though I’d been wanting them since I was 18/19. I went to a d cup when I was breast feeding and I loved that (but they were diff shape to implant so didn’t look this size) but my boobs grew gradually with pregnancy/breastfeeding. this was so different. you go to sleep with nine nd wake up 45 mins later with two big weird shapes on your chest. I really struggled mentally with the look and the pain was awful. but now I’m totally loving them and the pain is forgotten. most reviews I read they recovered quicker and pain not as bad but everyone is different. but I would definitely go try a couple bras to see which size you want to fill. then go from there. looking at your figure you are about same as me and I think 325 or more would be nice size on you. I wouldn’t like to see you go too small as it is such an emotionally and mentally thing to go through to come out the other end unhappy.

Thank you so much for this review! I am practically the same stats as you, same ethnic makeup and everything. I'm currently torn between 265CC and 295CC as well. Are you happy you went bigger?

Your body time is similar to mine. What size were you before your BA? And do you remember your BWD? Which doctor did you go with? And what size are you now?

295cc?

OliviaSC
I emailed my concerns to my patient coordinator. She and the doctor think that 295cc will achieve my goal.
Speaking of which, I don’t even know what my boob goals are anymore. I thought I just wanted to go up a cup size but the internet really clouds my judgement. Like do I really want to go under the knife if it won’t be a noticeable difference.
Anyways, they’ll have both implant sizes on hand and I guess I’ll just have to spend another whole week overthinking. ????

what size do you measure currently?
December 21, 2017
you look be similar stats to me. my surgeon gave me 265cc 295cc and 325cc. she wanted me to go with 295cc. when I tried sizers 295 seemed a good choice but after looking at sizes in more detail and before and afters 295 is really not much. I think 295 oils have given me a look I cold get on my own with a decent push up bra but without the bra!
December 21, 2017
in the end I went with a diff surgeon who gave me 345cc.even though the 345 sizers made me feel huge the result with the actual implant doesn’t look as big as the sizers made me look.I’m over the moon with my results. they don’t look big under clothes but fit my body perfectly. I have gone from 32a to 32dd. I think if they were smaller then this I’d be disappointed.
December 21, 2017
I’m currently 34A/32B. B is more comfortable but I definitely don’t fill out the cups lol
December 21, 2017
Hoping to end up at a small to med C
December 21, 2017
I was on the same boat! My stats are fairly similar to your’s (5’0 105lbs). I was debating between 275 and 295. Like you, my research definitely clouded what I thought I wanted. In the end, I just showed my PS pictures of the type of breasts I liked (full but slight sag and curve to them), and she thought either size would achieve what I wanted. She said any bigger might get in the realm of too “round”. Even though I already felt like the 275 looked good, I went with 295 in case boob greed sets in later on. She said the 295 would take me to a “full C” while the 275 would take me to a “mid C”.
December 21, 2017
what bra size did 295 take you to? when my first consultant said 295 to me she also said I wouldn’t get a cleavage. which I thought was odd because it’s a push up bra and some sticky chicken fillets I could get a cleavage. but going off by I know now and size I have I can see how that would be. there oil to be enough boob there with a 295 on me to put together and they’d be a lot firmer than my own Breast tissue which could push together. I was put off having 295 for this reason as I wanted to be able to have a cleavage in certain bras/clothing otherwise why bother with a boob job.
December 21, 2017
sorry - parts of that made no sense. the text on here is so slow that it misses out letters that you type and autocorrects the letters it did pick up to say something completely different!
December 21, 2017
My issue is that I don’t want huge boobs but I do want a noticeable difference. I’m nervous to end up too large at a full C/small D but I know it’s dumb to focus on cup size. I’m also really hoping to still fit into most of my wardrobe, stay the same shirt size, and even still wear some of my old bralettes and bikini tops haha idk if I’m being unreasonable
December 21, 2017
Need to clarify-my surgery is on 12/27! So I don’t know entirely what it’ll actually look like yet. But I feel the same way. I wanted something more, but nothing too noticeable when I had clothes on. When I went to my pre-op appointment, I brought a bunch of different types of shirts with me (loose, right, low) to try on with the sizers. Everything still fit and it gave me more of that full look I wanted. In the end, 265 and 295 aren’t super different. You can always let your PS know you would rather be smaller than bigger and they’ll consider that when they do the surgery.
December 21, 2017
I’m a 6/8. everything I have in my wardrobe fits (most of it fits better now I have something up top!). I’ve always thought DD boobs were massive but I think bra sizes have changed over the years and what seems like a huge cup (ie DD) isn’t as big as you expect. when I measured myself at home I came up as a 32c (probs old school method) but my surgeon measured me as 32dd. I tried a 32c and 32d bra in store before seeing my surgeon and oil then believe neither of those sizes fit. there’s no way I thought I’d be a dd. I really thought I would be a C. so if you have a c cup in mind it might actually be a dd bra that you want to fill. I would go to a bra shop an try on a c and a dd and see which one you’d rather fill. you might be surprised to find a c cup is smaller than what you actually want. maybe even something more such as 325 might be better choice for you. I think 265 will make very little difference to you. one girl on here (can’t remember her name) chose 265 and was really disappointed as was expecting to be bigger and it didn’t add that much to her boob size. I can’t see 295 making you uncomfortably big and obvious.

Surprisingly I'm not as nervous as I thought.. just impatient! I can't wait to get this over with so I can move on to the healing stages, which I know will be rough on me- mentally more so than physically. Also, I am gonna miss my lil boobs. We've been through a lot together and they've treated me well. Kind of feels like I'm betraying them by upgrading.
