Well this will be my third surgery. Had a bbl December 2014 and mommy makeover 4/2015. Surgeon did not give me my desired breast size and I'm not enthused about the shape either. I'm hoping to improve on projection and fullness. I'm 37, 5.3 and approx 157. I have 4 children and breast fed all of them. Currently I'm a small D big C. Use to be a Dd hoping to get that back. Pre op is September 4 although we have done an email and phone consult already. He has some ideas on size up to 800. Currently I'm at 350cc I'm not sold on that. Lol just want to be a cup size bigger not huge..... So any advice or suggestions much appreciated.

Who did your first ba? And why did they only give you 350cc when you wanted larger breasts.
August 29, 2015
Ortega. He explained to me that with me doing the bl too, my skin would be too tight to go bigger. He didn't want to risk my incision site opening. However, since mines I've seen him give much bigger implants in other....

$3750 is an amazing deal. Was it a special? I'm within driving distance and I like his work. I'm looking to go bigger too. Thanks!
August 29, 2015
I'm thinking so. Call check him out. I found him on realself and thought his work was quite nice. It's a two hour drive for me and he just wants me to stay overnight for next day follow-up.

Thanks for the reply! I will call and I'm a two hour drive too. :)

Wow 350cc to 800cc that will be huge , just saying hun, remember the bigger you go may cause more problems, But good luck , keep us posted :-D
August 29, 2015
Def not going 800cc!! He's crazy. Lol. But I am thinking 550-600
August 29, 2015
I bet 600 will make you very happy! And still be proportionate
August 30, 2015
Thanx. I think I'm going to try the rice sizers
August 29, 2015
A cup size bigger than what you already have would be 550ccs, 800 ccs will be massive on you if you are small that is the biggest implant size most surgeons carry and they even look huge on big girls, you should rethink that instead of a sexy hourglass shape you may end up top heavy with the look of a huge mom boob chest, careful. I wish you the best, good luck

Thanx. I originally said the same thing in the size up. But doc says with silicone under muscle it decreases what the size look like.

I went to Dr. Saunders. I have 800 cc and I am very happy. Don't let the number scare you! I trust him and I would take his recommendations! I almost didn't go 800 , boy am I glad I did. Yes, mine are big but not over the top. I am 5'3" 120 lbs ( gained 5 since surgery). I will be coming up on 1 year Oct. 29 2015, good luck any questions I am happy to help!

Thanx. I meet him this Friday. He seems so nice over the phone.

Well had my consult. He says 700cc hp. Still scared of the number considering I only want a cup size difference and I'm at 350cc. Schedule for the 16th and fully paid up. Gotta sleep on that number. But hubby is happy with it

Hey dont think of the number. Honestly it doesnt matter at all. 700Cc will prob look great. I got 350 and wish so bad i at least did 500
September 6, 2015
I'm thinking of the number because of the weight. I just hat a bl and don't want another one real soon. Lol. He said they are only a 1.5 each but that is 3lb total on my back. I did mention my concern but he seem to disregard it. Thanx though. I will try to put it into prospective
September 7, 2015
Did u try on rice sizers? And yes i totally understand where u r coming from. Its scary going too big too bc down the line they will start to sag, or going too big can cause other issues like stretchibg of the breast tissue, feeling the implant, rippling. Deff make sure u feel confident about your decison before doing it. By the way i think they look great the way they are now. Good luck ;-)
September 8, 2015
Thank you. I'm doing the right rice sizers this weekend. I just want one more cup. I'm hope I don't bite off more than I can chew.... Thanx again.
September 6, 2015
I'm 5'3 weigh 152 currently have 510cc they are very small on me. I'm going with 800cc HP... A good surgeon will measure you and decide based on your BWD and goal pictures. I fit in a 34ddd and they definitely don't look large at all because I have a wide chest and eat up the cc's.
September 7, 2015
Thanks for the insight. He looked at my pictures but he did not measure with tape maybe his eyes. Lol.

How far are you out from your last boob job?
September 10, 2015
5 1/2 months.
September 20, 2015
Have you done the 3d imagining? That should help.
September 21, 2015
No. He didn't offer that
