Having a hard time deciding between sizes which is right for me

Hi guys I need all the help trying to get advice on sizing. I'm almost 5 weeks away from my surgery date and I'm still undecided. I want a natural look I'm 5' 6 128 lbs and bra size now is 34b I don't want to get something that isn't right for my body I want to be proportioned but still have larger breasts than what I have now . I have had one child and breast fed for about 5 months. I would like to be a full C small D . Can anyone recommend implant sizing and projection that would achieve that sizing and look . My Doctor recommends 350cc but I think that would give me a DD when I tried on the implant I felt like I had large balloons on my chest and just nervous of going to big. Any suggestions would be appreciated !! Also any feedback from the ladies that had surgery through the areola (loss of sensation and scarring noticeable for you? )

Hey girl! Check out my review! I did 375cc and my fear was going too big. I'm 5 weeks PO and I feel like they're a bit too big still but I'm wondering if that's just me getting used to them. I was a 34b before, now I'm a 34D in Calvin Klein and VS bras. Mine still haven't dropped and fluffled so I'm waiting for that. People keep saying they look nice, but I feel they're a bit big. Maybe I'll just get used to them. Anyways, as for the incision. I did through the areaola and under the muscle. I can see how the incisions will hide nicely. They're still pink right now but with time they'll fade. Also, I had numbness in my right nipple and super sensitivity in my left. But now my left is less sensitive and my right is starting to gain feeling again. I also lot some feeling on the underboob on the right for a bit. But now it's starting to come back.

Oh one more. I'm def a FULL D. Noo where near a C LOL. I probably could have gotten away with the 304 sizer I tried on, but I felt like it wouldn't have been enough. Also I do agree with the info that you "loose" some ccs under the muscle. I think my boobs look a bit smaller than the sizer now and I think that I'm still a tiny bit swollen too.

Thanks so much for your info, Yours are looking great ! So you went with 375cc HP ? I was wanting to go moderate plus but my doc recommends 350cc hp for me which is scary because they looked hugeeeee when I tried on the sizer . I figured moderate plus would be better maybe to fill in some of the space in between my chest but I'll be discussing all of that with him for my pre op appt. also Im nervous to go thru the areola because of the scar it might leave behind which will be more noticeable if it doesn't fade right. I've seen some pictures of it not so pretty.

Hey! We have similar stats- I'm 5'5, 130lbs and started at 34B. I had my surgery 6 weeks ago and went large- 485cc and 520cc and I am now a 34DD. I don't think 350 would be too big at all! They do feel large and strange at first but once they drop and fluff they look so much more natural. Of course everyone's bodies are different and vary in final size but I think you'd be closer to a D than a DD with those and would look great!

Thank you! I'm still in the healing process but they look better and better every week! They are high profile. Good luck with your journey, I'm sure you'll love them!

These are some photos of breasts that I like I would be getting Sientra gummy bear round implants not sure on projection and size yet. If anyone has any suggestions I'd love to hear! I'm starting out 34b

Day of surgery June 1st

Lyn4321
I had my ba on June 1st I was very nervous going into it since it was the first time having surgery and being put under . I kept going back and worth on sizing and decided on 350cc which my doctor told me since I'm going under the muscle he would add 50cc in surgery to give me the same look that I tried on with the sizer since the muscle restricts some ccs. I went in at 11:15am and left by 2pm.The nurse that was with me before going into the operating room was so nice and comforting I was crying because I was so scared of the outcome and going under anesthesia. Once I was laid on the table the anesthesiologist immediately hooked me up and I was out probably within a minute or 2. woke up in recovery all done the surgery was about 40 mins I left the recovery and had a hour drive home which was fine I was at first just trying to keep my eyes open and was very thirsty and had a brief moment of shortness of breath which went away after drinking some fluids . I had some soreness on my chest but that's about it. Once I got home I laid propped up in the bed ate some soup drank water and Gatorade took pain meds and was up the whole day until about 1am I wasn't tired at all which I thought was weird . I took one of the sleeping pills to help me sleep but i had to keep getting up to go pee Thru out the night since I was drinking a lot of fluids. I started to get a headache really bad and that was the worst pain of it all.The next morning I started taking antibiotics and I decided to not take any of the pain meds prescribed and switched to Tylenol since I wasn't having much pain and my headache was still there (I assumed it was from the oxycodone I was taking) which my headache went away once I switched to Tylenol. I had my follow up visit the next day at 12pm to just take at look at how things were the doctor told me he used 415mp+ which I'm nervous they're going to be to big now but he says it's going to look like the sizer I tried on. I went home and didn't take anymore Tylenol or pain meds since I wasn't feeling to much pain . I took a shower but had help scrubbing my body . All I have is swelling on the top part of my chest and it's very tight . Hoping it starts to go down soon because it is uncomfortable my doctors recommended not to ice it and just massage (pinch) areas of under the breasts 15times 3x a day. I have my next follow up In 2 weeks . Hoping swelling goes down soon on top since it's very tight. My concerns are just ending up to large than I wanted and to round on top . Hoping for the best.
