I've got my first consultation at the end of this month, and I'm pretty excited! I've played with the idea of getting a breast augmentation before, but now I've decided to go for it! I got tired of wearing push up bras, having to hem some tops at the shoulders to fit me, and seeing my sad boobs in a swimsuit. My husband and I have started back at the gym, I'm also pretty excited about that. I read somewhere to get down to the size you want to be at before you have a breast augment, so that's what I'm working on now. I figured I'm getting the boobs I want, I might as well go for it and get the muscles and body I want too. I'm going with gummy bear implants, above the muscle, and under the breast for my incision site. I tried the rice test last night, still playing with that. So not sure on size yet. I don't want fake or too big, but I do want to notice that I got boobs. My husband says that any change, big or small would be noticeable on me. Any tips or suggestions are welcome!

I tried the rice test! When I first did it, I though 1.5 cups isn't going to be that big of a difference come on, so I tried it. Wrong! Wow, too big haha. I didn't think a half cup would be so noticeable. So then I tried it with one cup of rice which is 245 cc's according to http://www.ricetest.com/rice-test-breast-implants.html. I'm still wearing that size around the house to decide, but I think I may have found my size!

Hey cupcak3, my advice...go a little bigger than you are expecting to be, a little bigger than you are comfortable with using the rice sizers. Not much but if you like the 245, I would go 275. Ricers are a great starting point to get an idea, but they aren't implants and even if you are going over, the implant is still under your breast tissue. Unlike the ricer that is sitting on top of your chest. 30 cc's is not much at all, but I think you will be happier.

That's a good idea, thanks. I definitely don't want to wake up from surgery and think to myself, "I should've gone bigger!"

With the rest test, I started at 1.50 cups and thought it was way too much so lowered it to 1.25. Liked those then got thinking, maybe too small. If I'm going to do it, I might as well make it worth it! So my mom talked me into trying 1.5 again, so I did. I think they are growing on me... I'm starting to like that size. I'm wearing them around the house today to see if I can function with them and still like that size on me. It is weird looking down and seeing boobs, I must say!!

I really like the 1.5. They look great. So that equates to about 250 to 275 I think. Go with the 275. I think you'll be happy with the results. Are you doing saline or silicone?

Thanks! I'm planning on going with the highly cohesive silicone "gummy bear" implants. From what I read, they are the most realistic looking. When I have my consult, I'm definitely going to ask my doctor which is better.
