Will 210cc Be Enough or Should I Go 240cc?

Will 210cc Be Enough or Should I Go 240cc

amanda2222
HiI’m worried about my choice of implant size. I’m very petite 5’1 and am after a very natural look. I literally have no breast tissue at present. My surgeon and I have agreed on moderate profile 210cc but that was because I got scared about the 240cc. I’m having them duel plane with about 30% covered by the muscle because I was worried they would show entirely over which was what was originally suggested. Would really appreciate and comments or advice professional or otherwise, thank you!

I think that you can go with the bigger size implants. There's really not much of a noticeable size difference. Most people feel that they SHOULD HAVE gone bigger. I'm tall and very very thin and I went with 300cc's. It's perfect for me even being thin with a small frame.

Can I ask please did you go under or over muscle? I’m guessing that you are happy that they don’t show much or look too fake? Sorry to be a nuisance

I went under the muscle per my doctors suggestion. It looks awesome. I'm physically fit and it all looks perfect.

Hehe made me chuckle !

Thank you very much, I really appreciate your comments. My surgeon did say often people wish they’d gone bigger but very rarely smaller. Thank you x

Literally Everyone I know who went to smaller route always says they wish that they went bigger . It’s a matter of your comfort level

Yes thank you, your right I think was just stressing about them showing through the skin and increased chance of the dreaded bottoming out everyone talks about and trying to calculate how much you loose volume wise with duel plane x

Bigger is definitely not always better, I found this review really helpful. https://www.realself.com/review/new-york-ny-breast-implants-34-kids-200cc?deeplink=deeplink/review/4897295/entry/1060938&utm%5Fsource=iOSApp&utm%5Fmedium=share&utm%5Fcampaign=app-sharing

All done!

So I went 200cc and I already know I should have done the 225cc but would rather feel this way than horrified they were too big. They will change a bit too I know just hope it’s not smaller
If was bit of tough day as I was last on the list and struggled waiting all that time but I’m done and home now

Cant wait to see your results!

Think you were right though, should have gone bigger. It’s so hard here I didn’t get to try any sizers other than a much larger one on my first consultation and then when the breast plants I was meant to be getting weren’t available two days before surgery and I was offered 200cc or 225cc I was told I couldn’t try any and just had to do the whole rice thing which I think is pretty rubbish so I guess I bottled it, I just hope they fluff up a bit, fingers crossed x

18 days after op
One quite bit bigger than other, hoping will settle soon. Scars seem to be improving been using silicone strips on them.
Still not sure how I feel as the unevenness is making hard to judge but have read need to be patient

Thank you for the updated snaps! They look great! Unevenness isn't obvious from the photos. How are you feeling about the size in general?
May 14, 2021
If my smaller one was the same size as the larger one I would be happy. Wish I had got the 225 in the smaller one. I would have loved to have been a bit bigger but I have realised from what I have had done that potentially I would have got that stuck on look on my frame. I think the upshot is I’m not meant to be a booby person and what I’ve got now will be a significant improvement and maybe the best I can achieve to keep a natural look which was what I wanted. I hope that helps. What’s the state of play with you ?
May 14, 2021
I've got a month to wait still... but your photos make me err on the side of smaller -- they really do look great. There's bound to still be some dropping & fluffing too. *Remind me of this in a month when I feel the same way you are ;) It's a psychological journey as much as a physical one.

You’re so right and I don’t think I’d appreciated that as much as you do which is obviously good that you are aware of this. Exciting and nervous time for you but I’m sure you’ll be happy in the long term. One thing I will say is the pain and such has been nowhere near as bad as I thought and it hasn’t disrupted my day to day half as much as I anticipated. I hope you have a surgeon you can talk to too, that’s something that I didn’t have and I wish I’d spoken up a bit more but I was made to feel uncomfortable. I’ll update again in a week or so and would love to hear any updates you have too

How are you feeling now? My op is Tuesday... I've used your posts as a guide and am sticking with 200ccs. Update when you get a chance!
June 13, 2021
Hello

I good thanks. I’m happy with size just wish they were same size. I’m trying to load few more pics for you but always takes ages, they will come on. I don’t think they will change much now they have been pretty settled from about 5 weeks. I really hope Tuesday goes well, I will think of you and hope you achieve the results you are looking for. If you feel able to it would be lovely to see some pics at some point. Good luck
June 13, 2021
They really do look great from your photos. I would be thrilled with a result like yours! I'll post some photos if my Dr does a decent job. I'm trying to keep my expectations realistic
June 13, 2021
Aww that’s a lovely thing to say thank you. You were spot on with it being a journey of the body and mind. It seems to me like you have put a lot of consideration into this and I’m sure you’ll be pleased with the results. I really hope it goes smoothly on Tuesday and I can honestly say the surgery and recovery were much better than I imagined and I’m sure you’ll be the same. Would love to hear how you are when you able to
June 15, 2021
All done! I'll post some snaps when there's something other than a surgical bra to look at. I can already tell my left is bigger than my right... but I'm excited I took the plunge. Your experience helped convince me!
June 15, 2021
Aww bless you and thank you for messaging, I thought of you today. I’m glad you are feeling excited and hopefully things will settle how you’d like. Im really chuffed for you, it’s a huge thing and I hope you make a speedy recovery. I’d love to hear how you getting on with or without photos. Hope you get some rest tonight

I wish I could DM you. I'm miserable. So much bruising today and no sensation in my left nipple. What have I done?!! I felt and looked great Day 1 but Day 3 looks like a crime scene.
