Hello,
I am 27 years old, 5´3, 143 pounds and when I was 19 I had a breast augmentation from really flat A cup to a high profile B cup.
Even if you think that 375cc is a good size, on me it looked really small and didn’t meet my expectations because the profile was too high and the nipples were facing down. It was quit hard for me because every single bra I brought I had to put some padding in them to make my boobs look round and nice. 8 years later I decided to get them removed and go from 375 cc to 600cc.
The surgery is next week and honestly I am really concerned if they will be too big, the doctor didn’t have samples there for me to try on so I am quit confused.
He said he thought they were kind of big and that I should try 500 cc, but if you think about it going from 375 cc to 500 cc its only 125cc.
I don’t want to pay for a surgery I wont see any differences but I don’t want to look like a [RS bleep] star either.
He said he had to open up space below my nipples because my current implants are so high that the measurements above and bellow the nipple are completely different. Above the nipple I have 6 cm and below the nipple I only have 2 cm.
Please help me. Otherwise I might reconsider this and go down from 600cc to 500cc.

Hello, its me again but this time with pictures.
I am 27 years old, 5´3, 142 pounds.
I had a breast augmentation 8 years ago.
I was a fully flat 36A (honestly like a surf board) and wanted to get a full 36C.
The doctor recomended 375cc through my arm pit because that was the biggest size I could go up too because I had NO breast tissue.
When the surgery was done I look horrible, my boobs were so high that I cried all day, and the pain was HORRIBLE.
After two weeks one of the implants went even more higher and both nipples were facing fully down. I had to go back to surgery and through a lot of pain.
Honestly after that surgery I didnt see any difference and I still have one boob higher than the other one and a really freaky look.
8 years later I want to correct the issue and a new PS will do it for me.
He said that in my first surgery the doctor didnt do a pucket underneath the nipples and thats why both implants set SO high.
Now after we talked for a long time I want to go with a fuller and more natural look so we decided to go with 500cc.
I want a bigger projection and also a NORMAL boob.
I have been wearing padding in my bra just to make them look normal.
Do you think I will be able to see any difference between a 375cc and 500 cc?

Hi Sara, INMHO, I don't think 600ccs would be too small for you as long as your PS can safely widen your pockets to accommodate that large of a size. Like Chett says-- when going under the muscle, more than you think is "absorbed" by the muscle/tissue vs going on top. Do you have either option? Like I said I have 550cc HP (which protrude much more than moderates--I wanted the protrusion factor, not so much the frontal width factor) I debated on the 550s vs the 600's and compromised with a base implant diameter slightly bigger than my BWD--which helps with cleavage and fullness and the HP vs moderate helps with protrusion--so 550ccs was the decision for me. My PS had to cut a deeper pocket on my R boob to fit the 550 so it is a little tighter than the left.
I do agree with your outcome being partly due to the amount of breast tissue you have to "play with". My B size breasts were very saggy and had lots of tissue to work with my PS said. My girlfriend is having 600ccs saline overs installed LOL! and she also has a lot of saggy tissue to work with and she is 5'1" vs my being 5'7" so that just goes to show you it doesn't matter so much about height! I wish I could be of more help--What ever the outcome, I know you will be happy with your results! Please keep us all posted with your stories and pics!!! I am excited to hear how it goes! :-) Holly

I am getting married in 6 months, thats why I honestly proceeded with this and thought about it for 3 months until I decided I was ready... I think you are right, as you can see in my pics you can hardly see any boobs, so I honestly want to see a difference....
They will go under because I wanna be able to breast feed in the future so thats the main reason, and you are right, they they are under the size goes down a LOT... yours turned out beautiful, I hope I have the same luck, I promise to upload pictures a couple of days after my surgery so you can see the changes, THANKS AGAIN FOR ALL UR TIPS AND HELP... i think ill go with the 550 cc, its not 600 but not 500 either... THANKS SO MUCH MY FRIEND...

Sara, p.s. Can u compromise between 500 and 600s and get 550s? That is exactly what I did. I felt with the 550s I got the best of the protrusion factor and the cleavage/mass factor. Read the dimensions on both the implants (you can look them up on the internet and you will see the difference. Your boobs naturally don't hang to the sides like mine did. So 600s are probably just right--I didn't go for them because I would have had more "side boob" than with the 550ccs. Also are u going over or under the muscle? I know your BA is in 6 days so you are getting down to decision crunch time. Yippee!!! :-) As they all say--if in doubt go bigger!

I went from a 425cc to a 650 cc high profile and it was perfect. I am 5", 127 lbs and a grandmother. I love mine but I had a real artist since I have a bi-lateral mastectomy. My best advise is get other opinions because from what I see in your pics your doc does not have the special touch for implants. Just my opinion. Best Wishes.

I am very concerned like I said and I really hope this time it goes GREAT... This new PS explained me that he needs to do the lower pocket because the first PS didnt do it, so this way the implants will look more natural and normal.
So basically u are saying that 600cc wont be too much? I was really flat when I had my first surgery so basically what I have now is 100% implants.
I will be really sad and dissapointed if I end up with breasts that you cant see the difference, so I will read a little more about this.
THANK YOU SO MUCH.
Sara
I'm a little concerned that your surgeon didn't have sizers for you to try. I wonder why?
Here's what some doctors have to say about choosing the proper size for you.
You also might want to consider taking a before photo of yourself (chest only) and posting a question to the docs on RealSelf.
Hope this helps!
