5'9" 130 Lbs- Can't Choose a Size

WORTH IT$8,500
For 10 years I've wanted perkier, fuller breasts. I am finally going to do this for myself but never realized how hard the decisions around it would be. I found a surgeon I love that has guided me so much so far but ultimately I cannot decide on a size. I'm 5'9", 130 lbs, 34B cup. I have mild droop but for my goals I have decided to add a lift so I can get it out of the way. My surgeon has suggested 275 cc, moderate plus teardrop implants under muscle with a lollipop lift and after research I'm good with all this EXCEPT I'm afraid 275 cc may feel too large. Especially upon looking at the 3D images. I have worn sizers but I know they are different once in. I've also been given the choice of 240, which just seems safer but again, will I wish I'd gone bigger? I'm used to my small boobs so I feel like I'd rather go too small than large. I'm very active- horseback, surf, workout, backpack, etc. My main goal is to just be braless in the summer and be comfortable with no worries of saggy boobs showing through a small tank but still have some volume. Anyone similar? I don't know how teardrops convert size-wise when looking at round shape. I know many tall, skinny women go for 275 but they still look large to me and I feel like I'm going crazy. I'm getting so nervous and cannot decide!

Amazing surgeon! So much experience and such a kind person! He had a lot of patience with me through the process and really listened to my concerns. I was able to trust his advice and ended up so happy with my results. Highly recommend him to anyone in the PNW.

Hey, choosing size is such an ordeal isn't it! I'm 4 months post op with 245cc and I wish I had done 310cc, they felt too big when I tried them on, but in reality would have been more proportionate with my frame due to my wide chest. I think getting an implant that has a diameter that is close to your bwd is going to look nice. For what it's worth, 35cc really is nothing. Try pouring 35ml into a bowl. The difference seems to be in width of the implant, not projection. Etc. Also, I've concluded is that it takes a good 60 to 100cc to make a noticeable difference. Good luck choosing your size!

Good reassurance! Thank you. I feel huge in the sizers as well but the surgeon keeps assuring me it’s much more subtle once under the muscle which has me leaning towards 275. Just curious, what are your stats?

I'm 5'5, 127 pounds and quite lean/athletic. My bwd is 12.5cm and I was 34A before surgery. I'm a small 34C now. I had low profile implants and a bit of sagging before surgery...so I may have a revision to go moderate profile, 300cc next year to fill up the space a bit more but keep a modest size!

Made my Decision, Finally More Excited Now

I talked to my surgeon for the sixth time yesterday. The last five times, for whatever reason, he was pushing me to do 275 cc and I just kept thinking this was much too huge for what I wanted (see first review). I’m hoping this was a huge misunderstanding because this time he had completely forgotten about 275 and when I mentioned it he said oh yeah, that’s much too big for your goals. I was relieved here but also worried as you can imagine about the communication. This time he showed me the 240, again, and also 190- which I was not expecting at all! I think he finally realized what I meant by my super “active” lifestyle. I kept mentioning I want to get back to horseback riding and surfing and be comfortable so that was helpful to stress that to him. Since I’d been on the fence so long on 275 mod plus vs 240 mod plus xtra, I ended up choosing 240. 190 was appealing too as far as “comfort” goes, but I was worried it may end up to small for me after a year… we will see. I am very nervous/excited to see if I made a good decision. P.s. I am having a lollipop lift for mild sag

Rescheduled surgery

After some personal happenings in life and also cold feet (I won’t lie) about the upcoming surgery, I rescheduled. I was getting nervous about the surgical methods and size so I needed more time. I honestly very much like where I have been going after talking to some other places on the phone today. I’m just slightly concerned with the methods so I wanted more time to think about if I really need a lift or not and have another in-person consultation before the new pre op appointment so I’m hoping to get some more things cleared up. This is something I’ve wanted for over 10 years so I’m not going to back out now, these things just take time and rightfully so because you live with these decisions the rest of your life!
