WORTH IT
Such a wonderful experience with Dr. Becker. They were amazing and it was an easy choice, which I'm so thankful! I can hardly wait for my surgery. I'm just questioning the perfect size, of course. We are planning on Mentor 325cc smooth round moderate plus extra profile. I'm wanting a very natural look. I'm 5'5" 125lbs. 11.7 bwd. 32A preop. Do you think this size will get me close to my wishpics? It felt like a great size but then looked so small in a picture so I'm a little torn. Please help!

Welcome to RS! It's an exciting journey your about to partake in. Here's a bit of info I found helpful along the way. Results vary based on bwd, skin elasticity, anatomy, stats and your PS surgical abilities. 300cc can look huge on one person and small on another. I recommend trying on sizers with a tight shirt to see exactly how they will look with your frame. Most Dr. on the Q&A forum state for every 150cc you "should" increase one cup. Let your Board Certified PS guide you as they have plenty of experience with implants. Sometimes when ladies try telling the PS what they think is best and not listening to his/her recommendations, it can end disastrous. Bring a few wish pictures to show the Dr. your end goal. Don't go by bra/cup size because all manufacturers have different sizing. Remember if going behind the muscle, you will lose about 10-15% from being compressed. The day after po, your boobs will look small from being compressed. Don't let that discourage you bc I was like what?!? But after d&f things get bigger & better! I hope this bit of information has helped you out. Good luck and keep us updated.

Thank you so much for your response!! So helpful & I appreciate you taking the time. I have now updated everything since my surgery :)

I'm a couple inches shorter than you and started with a little bit more tissue (32B) but other than that we are very similar in size. 255cc got me to a 32DD (triple D at VS). They look more like Cs but they are larger than your wish pics. My BWD was 11. Just more info to help you get to your goal! Most women (including myself) seem to regret not going bigger but I've seen some ladies on here really distressed about being too large because their doctors didn't realize they really did want a conservative size. Good luck!!

Thank you so much for your response and sharing your results. I’m sorry you wish you went bigger, but I’m sure they look great! I’m going to go see if you’ve posted pictures. I’ve recently updated my review :)

March 2nd! Can’t believe it’s officially scheduled and really happening! So excited but also very nervous. Anyone else feel that way? Any tips for must have after surgery?
I’m 5’5 (1/2) 125lbs, planning of doing silicone smooth round moderate plus extra 325cc, although will retry sizes 1 month prior to make sure because I’m questioning 275/295cc. I’m wanting very natural. Will keep y’all posted :)

Super exciting, I think everyone feels that way double guessing your choices. I would definitely go with the 325 over anything in the 200s. Also glad you are going with mod+ extra full. You really shouldn’t be worried about high profile looking unnatural. They actually drop to a very natural slope with a little fullness in the top but not like push up bra full. At my 1 weeks post op I said I was concerned how high up they were, he said don’t wish that away, they are gonna drop lower than you think and you will miss that! We laughed but it’s true I wanted a very natural look too and they are still dropping but I love my results. You will too!!

Thank you so much for your comment! Very helpful info and I'm so glad you are happy with your results!

That's good to hear from your doctor! Mine seem high and big and I only got 305cc (a week ago). I am worried I should have gotten under 305 cc.
December 15, 2020
Good luck
Did mine 275cc 2 months ago,
Overall Satisfied with the result..
Have little boob greed, maybe should have gone 295cc
But they do look very natural
December 15, 2020
Thanks for your response! I looked at your review and am so glad you're happy with your results! I would rather a little boob greed than regret going bigger than I wanted and unable to hide them. I think you picked the perfect size :) and hope I will too!

We have similar stats and I'm leaning towards 245-265cc. My surgeon said she would not go above 300 if I want to keep it looking modest and natural. In my case it's a revision, I currently have 275cc L/225cc R and I always felt like the left was a tiiiny bit too much and didn't feel as natural as the right one (perhaps because it's high profile?). Did you already have your second pre-op with your surgeon? I'll be looking forward to your updates! :)
February 2, 2021
Thank you for your response! When is your surgery?? I have my preop/ sizing apt on feb 10th so I'm excited to nail down the sizing! It's stressful. That's nice your surgeon gave you more direction. What are your stats?
February 2, 2021
I should add though that before my first BA I did have some tissue to start with ~large A/small B.

And surgery is scheduled for March 8th ;)

Im 5'6" 126 just got the 275cc Mentor. I'll be posting updates! I also was going for a natural look :)
February 8, 2021
Best advice i can give is listen to the doctors rules. I feel great and have very little discomfort so its easy for me to do something im not supposed to (lift arms above my head) but that is a big no-no for the first few weeks. If you are lucky and dont have pain take extra care to still follow the don'ts. I failed the "dont have sex with your husband one on the 4th day"...popped a stitch.

Surgery day! Yay Boobies!

Today was finally the day! Everything went very smoothly, and so far I'm pleasantly surprised with the recovery. I chose mentor round silicone 300cc moderate plus profile. I wanted a very natural look, and hopefully to be a 32C. I know it's a waiting game until they drop and fluff. But I'm wondering if I can expect them to get bigger or smaller when they drop and fluff? These pictures are day of and I'm not very swollen yet.
My stats are 5'5" 125lbs, 32AA preop

PS on the Q&A forum state for every 150cc you "should" increase one cup. Hope that helps. You will see so many changes over the next few months. Happy continued healing dear.
