Hi Real Self world! :)
I am wanting a very natural result, and it's so nerve wracking to figure out what will get me there! I would love to be able to "dress them up" with nice cleavage in a bikini or "dress them down" in a cute oversized sweater, and still look thin-framed, if that makes sense.
I'm 5ft 4, 115 lbs, and I currently fill a 34a cup decently with slight drooping from 3 kids. I'm hoping to be a smallish c cup afterwards, but definitely NOT a D cup.
I went to my consultation with Dr. Self, and he was so nice and made me feel very comfortable. Based off of my goals, he felt I would be able to achieve a very nice result with a Natrelle inspira moderate profile silicone implant under the muscle for the more natural result I desired.
When trying on the sizes...it really was strange. First, the nurse had me try on the 325 cc (exact cc's I actually can't remember) I felt pretty ridiculously huge to be honest, but all my friends warned me to not really take the sizers too much to heart since it will always be smaller under the muscle. I think the size I felt most comfortable was a 265 cc (but I probably should have tried a size smaller just to see if I liked that too because I feel that even those might have been a tad too big).
After booking the surgery, and as my surgery date is getting closer and closer...I've been doing a TON of research, and have found out a few details that I probably want to consider, and some questions I didn't know to ask with my previous consult.
First, my doctor did measure my BWD (and a bunch of other dimensions) but I don't recall him telling me what my BWD is. My measurement from my clavicle to nipple was about 12cm on both sides though via my PS.
From my own measuring, my BWD is around 12-13 cm.
So considering this, I've been needing to ask my PS to assure me that the implant we end up using will match my BWD well so I don't end up with a too narrow or too wide result. Based off of my research, I feel a smaller and moderate profile will match my BWD nicely though, just like we discussed, so that is comforting.
Getting super nervous!!!! Hoping that I will love the end result. Really wanting to look good in both clothes AND a bikini :).

I am similar in size and wanted a C. I am 6 weeks post op and am sizing a 32C after getting silicone 300's in each..i love them and just what i wanted, a very natural look. most people say very tasteful and normal for my shape. i fell in love with the 286's but he said go a bit up and you'll be right around that size. he was so right and it just keeps getting better. hope that helps.

Oh jessica, that is so wonderful to hear!! Tomorrow is the big day, and I'm so nervous, but also glad to hear that you are loving your 300cc size. We'll see what I end up with, but he said it'll be between 250 and 300cc's most likely.

the best thing I learned before my surgery was how many girls got implants that they thought were big enough but after the surgery, were extremely disappointed in the results and wanted them bigger. most went back in in a few months for revision surgeries to get larger implants. keep in mind you will loose a bit of the size if you go under the muscle as well, so you might want to consider going with the larger of the options you are considering to account for losing some size when they are placed. I got mine done six days ago (I’m also in Utah) and I am IN LOVE with mine- I hope you love yours as much as I love mine! good luck

I’ve just had mine taken out after 5 years, don’t forget, it’s a lifetime of surgeries.

I've spent so many late nights here on Real Self, and I'm getting SO nervous!! So many "what if's"are popping into my head it's really beginning to stress me out.

Biggest concern is going too big. I honestly feel that I won't get the "boob greed" that everyone talks about, because I like having a bit smaller boobs for the clothes I wear...I'm not bothered by my boobs in clothes, I would just like an extra "umph" for bikini's or naked. Those I am definitely self-conscious in.

My husband is adamant that I go bigger, so I don't regret it, but I really would hate it if I went too big. I don't want to feel too heavy or matronly in clothes. I've scaled down my wish boobs, because I still want a petite look. I'm now even considering 250 ccs or less...
Anyone else in the same boat? It's harder to find before and afters in smaller ccs

The nerves are totally normal! I know you've spent a lot of time around RealSelf, but if you haven't come across these three individuals, they could be very helpful during your journey :)

I understand exactly how you feel. I also want a very natural look & don't want to end up being top heavy. So I'm going with a moderate profile but I'm still stuck on deciding on if I want 255cc or 285cc. I think 250 would be great on you. Not too big but full enough. Plus you're gonna need a lil more cc then you think to bring up that slight sagging. But if you trust your doctor & he has listened to your wants, I'm sure he'll recommend a great size for you.
