Ever since I started getting boobs when I was a teenager, I was obsessed with them. My breasts came at a young age but for whatever reason, they just stopped growing. I am currently a 34B (that's a tad generous) and am hoping to be a full C. I'm 5'11 and 125lbs. After having a child and breastfeeding 5 years ago, my boobs were huge and round and oh-so-beautiful! And then they went. Sad, deflated boobs leaving me with stretch marks, larger areolas, and a lot of extra skin. After years of contemplating, I decided to just go for it. I've been DYING to have my breasts done for so long now and I'm THRILLED. I met with my plastic surgeon and we agreed on 300 cc for both breasts, sub muscular, silicone mentor memory gel. While my breasts are slightly a-symmetrical to the eye (my left breast over produced milk and therefore was larger) it's actually only a half a centimeter lower than the other so we decided to do the same size on each side. Surgery is in ONE WEEK and I'm dying! I've been obsessing looking at other pictures of people with 300 cc's with my size frame and I'm terrified they will be too huge! I don't want to get into a D cup because I feel as though I may topple over with weight lol. I saw the 3D image of both 300 and 325 and didn't notice too much difference in the sizes but they were quite large!

Sizers

Did the rice sizers and not too sure how I feel about them. From what I've seen 300-325 cc's can make a full C to a small D cup size. Did 1.25 cups of rice in my bra (which apparently is the equivalent of 300 cc's) and they still look tiny :( Really confused...

Hey there, wow how exciting 1 week away!! Are you all prepared? I am similar weight but shorter than you, I am an A cup and having 330cc teardrop, high profiles, my surgeon was fantastic during my consultation so feel happy with the size I am going for but obviously still v nervous. I think if you are a small B 300cc would be great for you, your breast shape is very similar to mine. If you feel happy with your choice of surgeon I'm sure he knows what he is doing. Good luck, I am looking forward to getting your experience x

Oh also I did ricers, my surgeon said 300cc is same as 300ml rice if that's any help. I made mine but didn't find them helpful at all!

I think I'm all prepared? Haha, my sister is driving down the day before and is staying with me for a week to help me with my son, wash my hair, etc.. I bought two size medium sports bras but kept the tags because I was a little lost on what size to buy. Now I'm just waiting! I really trust my PS' suggestion on size but it's hard not to over analyze!

We have the same surgery date! Good luck!

I just wanted to comment that your boobs look great the way they are :) I'm getting my implants removed after 12 years in a couple weeks. I would love if my results after removal look like you do naturally!

Thank you very much :) The problem I have is not so much the size as all the extra skin I have. I'm so young, I shouldn't have orangutan boobs... I shouldn't be embarrassed to have sex in the daylight... I don't feel proportionate and I miss my full, milky boobs. They were so round and beautiful!

I promise you are your own worst critic :) I showed my hubby pics of myself before my BA (he's only known me with them). And he said I was crazy, they looked fine and not too small. He also says I look fine now with the implants, and that I'm crazy and they're not too big. So he think thinks no matter what, I won't be happy with myself and that I'm delusional when it comes to my self image. It's so true! But good luck with whatever you decide! Also, just imo - you are too thin/petite to have huge boobs. I am tiny like you and I always thought mine were too big (32C). I wear sports bras to mash them down. LOL

If you are goimt under the muscle you will lose 50ccs. I think for your size 400 ccs would be good. I would do a 400cc rice sizer and see what you think.

You are so tall, you may need more to look in proportion. Did you try any of the larger sizes? Did your PS say that 300 is as high as your measurements or tissues will allow?
February 26, 2014
Because of the extra skin from breast feeding, I could probably go larger. He told me he was going to put a 300 and a 325 sizer in me on the table to see which best suited me. It's not as much about my height as it is my frame size. I can wear a size small or extra small. Overly large breasts will look too obviously fake on my frame.

Gotcha, that makes sense. Glad he is willing to make a decision "on the table".
