32AA, 5’3”, 120lbs, 215cc/235cc

Im 31 years old and have decided to pull the trigger on a BA. I found this website to be extremely helpful when trying to determine what sizes to discuss with my PS. Therefore, I want to share my stats, before, and after with the community here.

So, as mentioned, I’m 31. 5’3” tall and 120 lbs. my bra size is 32AA if I’m lucky. My PS measured my breast width (BW) as 11.5 cm. I have slight asymmetry, with my left breast slightly larger than my right. My rib cage measurement is approximately 30.5”. My bust measurement is approximately 31.25”. Waist is 26.5”. Hips 36.5”. I am small, petite, and athletic with a nice a$$ I’ve worked hard to build in the gym over the past few years.

I am the type of person that typically subscribes to the ideal “less is more”. I don’t want to even have big boobs, I just don’t want NO boobs. I want something relatively small, not super noticeable, that looks natural on my frame.

I will be getting gummy bear Natrelle moderate plus implants under the muscle. The largest implant that fits my BW is a 285cc with a base width of 11.4cm as compared to my BW of 11.5cm. Since I have some asymmetry, my PS said we should only go as big as 285cc in the right, smaller breast and 255cc in the left, larger breast (255 was the next size down). I told him I did the rice test with 8oz and would not want any bigger than that. He then agreed that maybe we would go with 255cc in the right and 235cc (next size down) in the left. The 235cc implant has a base width of 10.5cm, which is one cm smaller than my breast width. Typically surgeons advise the implant base width to be within 1cm of the breast width.

Since the discussion, I have decided I may want to even go one more size down, with 235cc on the smaller breast and 215cc in the larger. I called the office and left that info with the receptionist. The 215cc implant’s base width is 1.5cm less then my BW. I am waiting to hear back from the PS office if this seems reasonable, or if I am going too small now. When the implant size and width start getting too small relative to the chest, it can look off and too far apart. I will let my PS be the judge, while letting him know my concerns about going too large. I know it’s not that big of a difference, but to me it is important. I’m just worried about my BA looking super obvious, and I’ve been so flat my whole life, that I believe that even going with the smaller implants, will feel like a big change that I will be plenty happy with.

I will post an update on what I hear back from the office. And I will also post some before pics and wish pics.

I’m adding some before pics. The ones in the black bra show me with a “push-up” bra on and one of the only bras I have ever found that fit me without gapping. As mentioned in previous post, I’m like a 32AA if I’m lucky, with left breast slightly larger than the right breast.
My rice test pics in the blue bra, are with 215cc in the left and 235cc in the right. This calculation was based on the conversion of 1oz rice being approximately 30cc. I feel like the right one is noticeably bigger than the left. I wonder if my PS will decide to put two of the same size in, despite discussions of possibly needing two different sizes. I’m sure he will make the right choice once seeing the implants in. I know he will be bring different size options.
In my previous post, I had said that I had contacted the office, to let them know I may want to do 215/235 instead of 235/255. I heard back from them since, and they let me know they would have both options that day. Im mostly afraid of feeling too big in clothes. I still want kinda small boobs. I just don’t want to be flat anymore. I don’t want it to be obvious! I wear push up or padded bras and loose tops most of the time. I hope that I will be able to wear bras with absolutely no padding after my surgery, and whatever top I want, and it won’t be totally obvious.
I really really hope my pics and descriptions help someone!!

I had my surgery this morning and arrived at 7:30am. I was out of there by 10am. As I was waiting in the pre-op room, I felt a lot of nerves and anxiety in general and was also still torn between sizes 215cc (left)/235cc (right) and 235cc/255cc. I have slight asymmetry.
My surgeon entered the room within about 20 minutes to have a final check in with me, and he eased my nerves so much and brought a calming and light-hearted presence which made me feel so much better. He said he felt good about either size and ultimately it was up to me. I expressed to him I was worried about it being too noticeable and he assured me neither size would be very noticeable. He also provided me the specific ounces of the 235cc implant (7.8oz), and the 255cc implant (low to mid 8, I can’t remember the exact number). This was new and valuable information.
Based on this new info, as well as my experience with trying on sizers at my consultation (200cc sizers slightly too small, 250cc sizers slightly too big), and also based on my at home rice test (7oz more comfortable than 8oz), I told him I wanted to go with 215cc/235cc. He confirmed my desired size with me one final time, right before I got my anesthesia as well, which felt really careful and considerate on his part. The rest of the staff helping out in the pre-op and operating room were also so caring and sweet. When I first entered the operating room, I felt frozen with panic and could barely respond to them and was trying so hard to maintain an even breath. They were all so patient and calm and even though I was scared I felt like I was really cared for in that moment right before I went under. Thinking back on it now, I can’t wait to thank them all for being such angels.
When I woke up I was in a lot of discomfort. I immediately asked for a pain killer. I was to take my next one 6 hours later (I think? Idk my fiancé has been managing my meds). Those were a tough number of hours. I could not wait to take my next one. It took so much focus and energy to just try to keep my upper body muscles relaxed. My chest muscles clenched about 6 times over the course of that time, each with a zinging pain I could only describe as electrical shock. The fear of it happening again was so stressful in itself and took a lot of physical and mental regulation. When I could finally take my next pain killer, it was the first one from the oxycodone bottle prescribed to me. Idk, if this one had a higher dose than what they gave me before I left earlier, but I’ll tell you, it seemed to do a whole lot more for me. For the first time all day, my body, and consequently my mind, could relax and I dozed off for a little bit. This is what I expected my recovery would be like. Either way, I’m just happy the meds I have on me seem to do a great job. I feel more at ease knowing that.
All in all, my breasts look so natural for my body frame, like I was born with them this size which is exactly what I wanted. I would not be surprised if people close to me aren’t able to tell, since I previously tried to hide my flat chest under baggy clothes and/or always wore a padded bra. I am confident I will be able to find bras and bathing suits that actually fit me now as well. That had been a huge struggle throughout my entire life and would sometimes leave me feeling left out and disappointed. I have NEVER been able to buy a matching bra and panty set. I will also be confident not wearing a bra now as they look feminine and nice on their own! I’m excited to fill out sports bras rather than hide my body at the gym. I’m excited to wear tops in the summer that are small enough to keep me cool and I don’t have to wear a hot padded bra underneath to feel semi-cute. My new boobs will also fill out my wedding dress, which let me tell you, wedding dress shopping as a petite woman with virtually no boobs is a big let down. I’m now so looking forward to my wedding day and feeling like $1million.
I will be posting some pics very soon, in next couple of days. Im getting close to needing my next pain killer so getting sore again and trying not to move.
