Have thought about doing a BA for FOREVER. Have always been in the A club & hated it. Finally got the hubby onboard and and going for it. 5'2" and 118 lbs. with my pre-op next month. Thinking maybe 300-350 CCs? Idk... scared to go too big but don't want to regret going too small. Here's the before photos. Apparently really good lighting since they don't really look this good normally.

What size did you end up with? I'm trying to figure out my size especially since my surgery is in a week and pre-op is tomorrow!

They look bigger in pics. They're also not symmetrical in size and they're a little droopy. Hate the way they look in clothes and especially bathing suits. The fact that there's some decent tissue there is why he wants to go over the muscle and why I'm stressing about size. Overs don't tend to shrink down much at all so going too big? Well you're kinda stuck with them then. Lol

Good luck! I'm 6 weeks post op & was an A. I got 330s and also was scared about going too big. I now fill a C cup nicely, occasionally have needed a D but with regular clothes on nobody can tell I've had a BA. It's noticeable in bathingsuits & fitted clothes of course.

The ccs are really throwing me off. No clue honestly what they translate to in regards to boob size. Lol. The same amount looks so different on different people. Can't wait for my consultation on the 23rd. Hoping it eases all my stress. :)

I've thought about getting breast implants for FOREVER. I've always been horribly self conscious in and out of clothing but especially in bathing suits or anything tight. Lots of sagging over time and some asymmetry. Just really nervous about sizing & final look. Thinking I'd like to go anywhere between 300-350 CCs with silicone but so unsure due to how amounts look so different on different body types. And then there is the whole profile question. My consult is next month and the waiting is making me crazy. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I'm going to post a few pics but really not happy about it. Hitting that "submit" button is going to be realllyyyyyyyy hard.

The best advice I've had in deciding size was from my PS. He said stop looking online, stop asking people and put the sizers on and look in the mirror. Like you said, 350 (for example) looks so different from one person to the next even when their stats are so similar. Take a few different styles of shirts with you to try on the sizers and go with what you like best on yourself. If you don't want to go back to your surgeon, you could try making rice sizers at home. I'm clearly no expert, but my thought is don't go by pictures you see of other people. Trust the mirror in front of you. Good luck!

That's exactly what the PS's nurse said to do.... bring shirts in and just try on different sizes. Just hard to imagine making a final decision. Not like picking out furniture or paint colors, knowing ahead of time exactly what you're getting and how it'll look. Lol. The element of the unknown kinda freaks me out.

It totally freaks me out too. Like, yeah I like how they look with clothes on- what the heck are they going to look like naked is the real question!! You're kind of going in blind it seems, it really does fell like you're taking a 10 thousand dollar gamble! I think I'm finally at peace with my choice- I still think of just going the extra 20ccs to my max, but the thought of going too big I think freaks me out more than the thought of going too small, so I think I'm sticking (not that 20cc is really going to make a difference who am I kidding!?)

I just want the day to get here so I can just see what he has to say & decide. He's been a PS for 25+ years and is on the conservative side size wise (makes you sign a waiver if you go bigger than he recommends) so I'm not worried I guess that I'll come out too huge really. I just don't want to go though all this and then think "why did I bother? They don't look much different?" I think I'm driving my husband insane over it. Lol

How did you make out at your consult? Did you settle on a size yet?

I understand your nerves. I wanted breasts but not Dolly Parton fakeness. I did it, it's been a month and I am becoming more and more happy about em. I thought they were too big at first. But they are symmetric, look great in my clothes and I'm glad to feel sexy and no longer pre pubescent. Lol. 330"s were more than plenty for me. It all depends on how much breast tissue you have before the surgery. Listen to yourself but still you are the ultimate decider. Listen to your gut. And good luck.

Thanks. Can't believe it's tomorrow. Going to try the 275/325 sizers on once more in the morning but I think I'm 99% sure that's what I'm going to go with. Going to be a longggggggggg day & night I'm thinking. :)
