Hey RealSelf users,
I am getting boobies in June!!! I know it's early but I am so excited to have the date locked in and am posting before photos of my current physique to motivate me as I begin my fitness journey (goal to lose 10-15 lbs/build muscle). If I'm gonna have my dream boobies, better work for the dream bod too right?? I'm going to focus on building my back strength to help with the implants, but will be doing weights and light cardio in general.
As long as my doctor approves, I'm hoping for 350-420cc to reach a D cup (currently 34A) but will trust her to choose the size that most closely matches my wish pics and is proportional to my body. I went to two consultations and chose between two doctors. Dr. Christine Rodgers in Denver will be performing my surgery because I find her results to be the most impressive and she has 35 years of experience.
I originally wanted saline because after doing research, rupture of silicone implants and migration of silicone to the rest of the body freaked me out. I changed my mind based on the fact that one doctor told me I have so little breast tissue that the saline would not look good and I would be able to "feel" the implant and have higher odds of rippling. Also, now you can check for silicone ruptures with ultrasounds instead of an MRI, these tests are recommended less frequently, and rupture rates are SO low (Sientra offers 20 year rupture warranty). Im choosing smooth to eliminate the risk of BiALCL (a rare type of cancer only associated with textured implants). The number one complication - Capsular contracture - occurs in less than 1% of patients who go to experienced doctors and who follow post op directions perfectly.
I cannot wait, I'll be going half crazy for the next 7 months as I wait for this, but I'm happy to take any questions as I consider myself well informed on all this :)

If you have similar stats or have recommendations on the cc I should choose, please comment!

Good call with the smooth and round. I did the same, based on what the surgeon suggested, and am so glad I did! You're so wise to trust the doctor! Best of luck!

I wish I’d seen your pics before my BA. Your breasts are exactly what I want!

Better before photos, what size for D cup? 350cc? 400cc?
Jubilant2138December 1, 2019
Figured out my camera timer so you can see my current situation without arms raised. I definitely have some asymmetry :/ Right nipple (left in photos) sticks outward more, I also think my left breast is slightly larger. There’s a difference in the space between the nipple and bottom of breast, more space on left side, less space on right side. I’m hoping my doc can even them up just a bit but I accept that this isn’t always possible. Currently an A cup hoping for a modest D cup. I’m 5’7 and 145 lbs

Thanks for updating us, I hope you can get some opinions on sizing!

It's really hard for me to say since I'm not a doctor lol but I would say based on what my doctor has told me, bwd determines the amount of ccs you can handle. Just comparing our two bodies I definitely think you could handle 400ccs but I can't predict if it will be a d-cup :(
December 15, 2019
Thanks!! Always hard to say... my doc doesn't even work off of cup size

Most PS in the Q&A forum state they don't work off of cup size bc it varies from manufacturer/brand. BA only enhances what we already have. I would imagine based off your BWD, skin elasticity, stats and anatomy that will determine the amount of cc you should be able to fit. My PS gave me a range to choose from based off my BWD. Do you have a date set? I thought I saw today's day on your review but you stated in your original post June? How are things going with scheduling sx since the pandemic? Keep us updated when you can. Good luck and thank you for sharing your journey with us on RS! :-)

Hey! You're absolutely right. I have been measured by one doctor at around 12cm BWD, which from the implant charts I have seen would limit me to the low 300s ccs, especially if I want the moderate profile like I do. I've learned a lot since originally starting my review several months ago, and while a D cup in my head sounds ideal, the doctor I chose does not go off of that and really uses wish pics more. I recently sent a set of wish photos to the office and they told me they looked like a little more than 400cc. I think based on countless reviews I have seen that I'd be happy with 400cc, and one thing I prioritize is longevity - I do NOT want to have saggy boobs that need a lift down the road.
I can't wait for my preop appointment, now June 30th, where my doctor will take measurements and give me a size suggestion. I'll defer to her decision if 350cc would be the most my anatomy can handle. But, fingers crossed for the 400s :)
My surgery didn't need to get postponed by over a month but I'm out of state now quarantining with my family, so that's why is set for July 15th now! Thanks so much for your support and I promise to keep my review updated

According to the Dr on the Q&A forum, they state for every 150cc you typically increase 1 cup size. Hope this helps you out.

Hey girl!! I found you from your comment on my review. We have veryyy similar stats and looks! I'm 5 lbs less and 1" shorter than you haha! My surgeon is going with 520 cc unders full profile and I also want a sizeable D! I also waited about 4 months from scheduling to actual surgery (2 weeks away!). The time flies don't worry!!! Ask about bwd! That was the main thing that my surgeon used to size me. And he also doesn't like going by cup sizes!
December 18, 2019
Hey!! :) we sure do which is why I'm extra excited for you - I can't wait to see your results! Do you remember your bwd measurements? And if you don't mind me asking, what made you choose full profile? Honestly would go that size if I could

I went 350cc two years ago and they still look great, but there are days I wish I went 400cc as long as it could’ve been safely done. At the time I was concerned I was going too big. I went from 32A to 32DD.
April 10, 2020
Thanks for your insight! I posted a question to doctors here on real self asking if by photos, 400cc looked right for me. I'd say 75% said yes, and the other 25% said it would be too big. I think my doc errs on the conservative size so trying to prepare for her limiting me to 350cc, at which point I think I would concur. Such a hard choice but in the end longevity is more important than how big they are. And a DD, damn!!
Congratulations on scheduling your surgery!
