You can view my profile. I'm 5', 120lbs. I had my breast aug/lift 3 weeks ago and continue to post pictures weekly! I was supposed to have 400cc silicone and my PS ended up going with 450 cc! Now, he did remove 90cc of skin during the procedure, so he said it averages out to 360cc, if that makes sense. Is your ps removing any skin? I would ask. I'm so thrilled with my results and am wearing a size medium sports bra. At my last appt my PS said I would end up being a full c which is exactly what I want!

Thank you so much we do have similar body types but I think I have less breast tissue than you had, I think I'm going with 325cc high profile implants did you have the anchor breast lift?

Yes I did. And you're right. Just read your a saggy b so I bet he is not removing any skin. I think 325cc would be safe and you'd be happy with the results. I have mod profile and so far really happy with them. Good luck!

This is such a hard decision because 450cc can give one woman a C cup and another a G cup. Hight and weight don't seem to be a factor as much as your breast and chest measurements I'm 5'7" 145lb and 450cc gave me a G cup. I now have 300cc and I'm a 36D. I would talk with your surgeon about the size you want. Take pictures both what you like and what you don't like. If your PS has 3D imaging that will help too. Try on sizers if available. A lot of women get caught up on CC's and end up unhappy because they are too big or too small. Good luck with you decision and surgery.

I was small 34B and picked out 325CC moderate implants which is expected to put me in a 36 C bra. Just had surgery yesterday. 350 CC made my waist look shorter instead of giving me an hour glass figure. If I had wanted to go bigger, I would have had to go with the high profile. The implants are silicone.. Dr.Vath's assistant was wonderful and helped me with my decision. I am 5'5" and about 135 lbs. When there is a decision to be made between 2 sizes and they both look good, they recommend that the patient goes with larger size. Good luck..I know I am going to love my new look!

Still super nervous and haven't decided on size, I want a lot of upper fullness since I'm young but I don't want to go to big. But I'm worried that I won't get the results I want if I don't go bigger. Still thinking about going up to 325ccs, not sure where that will put me size wise. If anyone has any advice that'd be great.

Hi! I am similar in size to you all the way around. My pre-op appointment is tomorrow and I'm going to try everything on. My PS said at consult that he thinks 300-325cc silicone, moderate profile would be what I am looking for also. I am going to start there and see how I feel. I think the CC size has a lot to do with your dimensions too. I am really looking for a natural look. I will let you know what happens tomorrow. Do you have another pre-op appt?

Ya my surgery is oct 30th I've had 2 consultations tried on implants but I'm rethinking the size again just because I want the really round look with the fullness up top so I think I might go with 325... The 350s will be too big I think

Went to my pre-op yesterday. PS and I had a long discussion regarding high-profile vs moderate profile. Looking at the implants I kept going for the high-profile one because it looks smaller. I kept telling him it would fit my body better as I don't want too much side boob, etc. PS said that he knows I want natural-looking breasts with upper-pole fullness and the high-profile won't give me that. His nurse actually said that I am so flat on my chest that the high profile implant will just shoot straight out on me whereas the moderate implant will give me a more gradual slop to my breast. I guess it depends on each person. I decided on 300s but he is going to bring in a little smaller and a little bigger in both moderate and high profile and make the call in the operating room. I am a control freak and leaving something up to another person is terrifying! I just have to trust that PS knows what I'm looking for in the end. Good luck :)

Have you tried the rice test to help you determine the size? Also, be sure to share your wish boob photos with your PS. You can post those here too!

I decided on 300cc at my consult and went up to 400cc just before my surgery. I'm around the same height and weight as you, it brought me to a d/dd

Have you asked your PS about a high profile to get upper pole fullness. I really wanted more upper pole but I worried about having a high round look which for myself I didn't want. It's really tough but most will say when in doubt go a little bigger.

Ya I would have to go up to 350 to get high profile, just a little nervous to go that big!

Sounds like you have a wide chest then. My bwd was 12 so I basically had to get high profile in order to get the projection I wanted without being too wide. If you Google the measurements of 300 cc mod & 325 cc mod there's hardly a difference to stress about. I would go with the 325 and end the stressing.

Wonderful one. I don't know my bwd but now I'm curious as to what it is. When I got my implant replacement I didn't want a high profile because I was afraid they would look too fake on me. Now in hindsight I wish I might have chosen the high implant because my breast don't have any upper pole fullness I would have liked and they seem wide to me... I also asked my PS to error on the small side because I was so afraid of large matronly looking boobs. Geez.. It's so hard to get it right. It's not like returning a pair of jeans so I can see how women stress over size. Lol

You should def. go bigger if your doubting the 300ccs. I wanted 300ccs in saline implants & I ended up with 325ccs but im only 3 days post and so far I like the size although I know it will go down. Not too sure about the shaped yet bc I have quite a funky one right now.

Hi I'm getting BL and BA on Oct 24th and I cant decide either! I'm 5'3, I was thinking 325 moderate silicon. I want to have a nice set but don't want them to be too heavy.

Ya! I know what you mean I am tempted to go with the 350 high pro but when I tried them on they did feel heavy
