I want to be done with padded bras an bathing suits, look proportionate naked, natural, not too big. I have always been thin and with the exception of when I was breast feeding and pregnant have never been big. I think I was a c back then. I may have been a b when I was on birth control but since being off birth control I am the smallest and flattest I've ever been since puberty. I haven't gone to surgery yet. Was initially scheduled for April 7th 2016 but contracted the flu so I was rescheduled for the 28th. My pre op appointment went well. I knew more or less what I wanted. I tried the sizers and felt that 400 cc was too big but 350 seemed to approximate what I looked like with my padded VS 34 b cup push up that I don't fill up. My surgeon urges me to go for 375 cc to account for going subpectoral and stretch over time. He told me I could handle even bigger but I really don't want that. I don't want it to interfere with running and working out and I don't want it to be too noticeable at work - especially because I work with a lot of men who can be annoying and caddy (yeah men gossip too). I'm not looking for a ton of attention - I just want clothes to fit better without a bra and I want to look proportionate naked.

I was about the same size as you. My surgery was 4/15, 375cc unders. I asked my surgeon about the 25cc difference because of being behind the muscle, he advised me the sizers were pretty accurate. He took both the 375 & 400 into OR and said he'd use what he could fit, I came out with 375, I haven't dropped much yet, but the swelling went down a lot. I'm waiting to see kind of an idea of what my end result will be. I bet you're getting excited!

I haven't told anyone but my best friend. My family and other friends think I'm having hernia surgery. Hopefully this won't be an issue.... My mom is supposed to drop me off, pick me up and then take me to my first post op appointment the next day. Hoping to keep it a secret. :/

I keep wondering about size. After using the rice sizers I feel good about 350cc sizers which will translate to 375cc Implants. I'm kinda concerned he will try to go bigger. It took a lot to convince me to go to 375 cc but I think the final result will be appropriate. Pretty sure that will put me at a d or dd cup just given what other reviews seem to say. That does freak me out a little but again the sizers look good. I am much more relaxed after trying the rice - highly recommend that if you are nervous like me before surgery and your pre op was a while ago.

Can't wait to see your results! I had Dr. Bottger do mine a month ago and he's amazing!! Good luck! Def don't worry about the size!...I wish I had went a little bigger ...I'm like you , thin, little breast tissue, breast fed and to me 350 was what I loved, he told me to go with400 or 425 to account the volume loss after placing behind muscle. And being that I had no breast tissue it makes up MY BREAST so you need to go big!
