ORIGINAL POST

Tall girl worried about going too big.

I'm 5'10, about 170 pounds and currently a small b cup. I'm so conflicted between going for 500cc moderate or maybe something smaller. I don't want to look too boobalicious and have it be very apparent that I've had work done, but it seems like opting smaller can tend to look more fake due to gravity not dropping them as much. I have a small waist and bigger bottom half. Just trying to find some reassurance that I'm making the right decision with 500cc. It just seems like it takes girls so big. Help!! Lol. I love the fuller look, but still able to look dainty.

I think with your height and frame you would be able to pull off 500cc in a way that looks natural! Go for it!

I'm almost the same exact stats to you and I'm getting 300-325cc next week. I don't want to have massive boobs though, just shape and fullness

I did! I love them. I'll be a 34 D from a 34B

My friend is 5'7 and got 325mod and is going back to go bigger. Our height we really can carry more but its really up to you and what you want plus getting opinions from surgeons! Good luck. Keep us posted. (tall girl here too 5'9). My surgeon suggested 525 HP

Thanks! Will do! What size were you before and then after?
February 23, 2022
I am 5'7" and went with 415cc high profiles. I think your breast width and the profile matters more than the ccs! For me 415 was the full profile size that fit my frame. Some girls would get the same look as me with smaller or larger implants. Also depends on your existing breast tissue!

I'm 5'6" and 160lbs, I got 550cc HP saline implants filled to 590cc. I'm so glad I didn't go smaller. I was only a 34A starting out though. I'm very pleased with my results! Good luck with your surgery!

Do you have any neck or back pain? I've heard that anything over 400cc could be a risk and I'm nervous because I have an old back injury.

This is crazy, woke up crying from joy after surgery. Was in some pain, tight and hard to breathe. Doing better now after some pain meds. :) Just a reminder I'm 5'9. Around 170lbs little waist and carry more on my bottom half. Definitely glad I went for 500cc, I didn't want to look super busty, but wanted a natural and proportionate look. Wow I just can't believe it happened! Very grateful I did this. Even thought I'm fresh out of surgery and they look like rockets... I already feel so much more comfortable in my skin.

4 days post op 500cc, ?settling slowly & swelling's gone down lots

Settling slowly. My right has dropped more than left, should even out over time hopefully. I'm off all pain killers, haven't had much pain at all throughout this which has really surprised me. I lifted my heavier purse the first day, and kind of freaked out afterwards but talked to my doctor and have been feeling it out. Everything should heal right. Swelling has gone down lots!
