Finally Getting the Boobs I've Always Wanted! 32AA to Full C - Costa Rica, CR
ORIGINAL POST
My surgery is in 1month and I can't stop thinking...
$4,000
My surgery is in 1month and I can't stop thinking about the size im fairly positive 350ccnunder muscle silicone will be fine, but im scared they'll look too small. I have a tiny figure though I'm 5'6 115lbs and pretty skinny. I'm hoping to be able to wear a full C. And also hide my pectus carinatum a bit...right now I'm an incomplete 32AA. There's nothing there! LOL anyone think I've chosen too big or small based on my body size? I want to look proportioned but also have enough to hide my chest deformity.

Nervous about size! Advice please
I forgot to mention my doctor suggested 400cc high profile silicone under the muscle but I'm scared they'll look too big on my frame. I've been doing a lot of research and decided I want 350cc instead but I'm still scared they won't look good, I want to achieve a full C cup and look "natural" but I also want to be able to hide my chest deformity a bit. (my sternum sticks out its called pectus carinatum) I know 50cc isn't a big difference. But I'm just super nervous and confused about which one to choose! I posted two more photos of my chest. Help!

I think 400 would look fine, most people regret not going bigger

If you are going under the muscle then I would go with 400cc. I keep hearing that you tend to 'lose' about 50cc just by going under the muscle, so overall you'll have the appearance of 350cc.

i'm going for a medium c and have a little more breast tissue than you, not much though, and am getting 350cc under the muscle. i think 400cc will bring you to a d for sure.

Yay!! How exciting :) good luck hun. And yeah I think I'm leaning more towards 350. I really don't want to be bigger than a C

I just went for my final preop app't. I am larger than you are (129 lbs), same height and same pre-op size chest (AA 32) I am going with 375 under the muscle. The consultant wtold me directly that you only lose 10 - 20 cc's, which is barely anything, under the muscle. I felt very comfortable in the size down, a bit big in the 375 and huge in the 400, so I went with the 375 and feel I made the right choice for me. A large B, small C would be ideal.
My surgery is July 25. I will let you know how it goes!

They say it takes about 200cc to increase a cup size so 400 should get you to a C. Good luck!! :)

Not a dr obviously :) but I have read so many reviews on this procedure (as we all have) and I can honestly say the ladies who come out a bit smaller than planned are far less unhappy about that than the ladies who came out a bit too big. You have a very dainty figure (yes I'm envious!) and I think around the 350 mark sounds like a good decision. You are so slender that they will show up well and you haven't been used to big boobs (with respect) so it may come as a shock if they are too big. But only you know how noticeable or fake you want them to look. You look very young too from what I can see in the pictures, so you know whatever you do choose will have to be replaced eventually. Good luck.

Thanks! :) I'm 22 years old. And I have to agree! Very sure at this point I'm going for 350cc

I'm 5'5" and 100lbs with no breast tissue and got 325 and 357 unders and it looks like I'll be a C. I told the PS that I'd rather be a B than a D and he managed to choose perfectly for me. I really didn't analyze size much. The reality is that the PS has so much experience that if you give him or her a really good descriptive and/or photo of how you want to look, he/she can often nail it. Good luck!

I am now 12 days post ba and swelling etc has gone. I am feeling really good. I followed all my ps' advice regarding taking Arnica tablets as directed as well as Vitamin C powder twice a day and although it nearly killed me, have limited the amount of exercise I am doing. I believe all of these things helped in reducing swelling. I had my bra fitted by my ps' nurse (who is a beautiful person and has been an excellent source of information) and was also given a spare. These are both full C's but as the swelling has reduced, I am even popping out of these a bit and as my ps recommended I am off in a couple of days to be fitted by a specialist fitter and I expect that I may even be a small D!! :D. I'll keep you updated. xx

Hi, I went to the specialist bra fitter. No doubt all bras are different sizes but as per instruction I was fitted with a wire free sports bra. The fitter brought in two sizes and the first one, the bigger one cut in under my arms as I am very narrow in the back (according to her). I did't have a look at the size until I went home to put one on, they were so comfortable. It was a 32F!!! I couldn't believe it. I'm sure that in other bras I will be different sizes, but definitely not less than a DD I would think :D. Two weeks on I am now driving again and feel fantastic. Back to work in 2 weeks. I wonder if anyone will notice that I am no longer wearing a super push up!! Hope not! Please let me know how you get on and I hope that your experience will be as positive as mine. xx

That's such a good idea I will definitely be taking photos with me on my trip to show my surgeon what I would like to look like, thanks so much!:)

I had the same issue with my sternum sticking out on the right side so my PS put 375 in the R and 425 in the left and now they look more symmetric. I'm sure your PS will do the same thing. :) Good Luck your almost there!!
July 19, 2013
I just saw your pictures, you look amazing!! I'm pretty confident my surgeon will do as good a job as yours did! They are perfect! I'll post pics as soon as I'm home from my trip, thank u!! Xo
