Hello everyone so I finally went to my first consultation with Dr.Luu Doan, consultation went great however I am so torn and still a little confused about implant size. I am currently a 34-36B I want to be a full D. However this CC thing is so weird and confusing i initially set my mind for 550cc based on trying on the implants in office. Now that I M reviewing more pictures and YouTube videos I think it will be way to big? HELP!!!!! So now in thinking more in the 475-500 cc range.. This is harder than I thought ????????

Just a thought, but I gave my surgeon a range for the cc's and a bunch of wish pics. We discussed what shape and styles I like, and he picked the actual implant during the surgery based on how it was looking actually inside my chest. I'm only 12 days out, but so far the size he picked seems great!

I've been looking and have been doing lots of research and o am pretty set on a size and look now.. How was the pain post op? I'm really nervous about pain level.

Pain was very up and down. Overall, I expected it to be worse. But sometimes it would start improving and then I'd take a step back and that was very frustrating. I'm still not pain free now and don't expect to be for a while, but I'm maybe 80-85% at this point.

Hi there. I am 5"2 120 pounds. I did 300CC and am a 30DDD or a 32DD. I think 475cc will be MUCH to big for your tiny frame. I love my size. Not crazy big but give me great shape. xo

550 is way too big of an implant for someone your ht & wt. I'm 5'10, went with 590 cc silicon - going back to see the surgeon just less than two yes post op. They have bottomed out. Not to mention that it is extremely difficult to find bras to fit. I'm a 30J and it's very hard to find bras.

I used Dr Joan. I'm 4 weeks post op. I got 425cc on the right and 385 on the left. So far so good. No major complications. I'm happy so far... If you have any questions feel free to ask. Good luck....

All is good. I had a anchor lift so I had a small opening at the T junction but other than that all is good. First 3days were rough but it should start to feel better. Stay on top of your meds. It helps a lot

Yeah I did stay on top of it and yes it was pretty rough!!! Starting to feel better but still very sore.. I can't wait for them to start dropping they look so weird in the beginning lol.. When did you have to stop using your post op bra? Or find any like the one they gave us?

At my one week he told me I could start using a more supportive sports bra. My right side is bigger and he's worried bout it sagging too soon. I went to Walmart and bout a few sports Bea. $5 each and super comfy. I chose those due to swelling and the whole drop and fluff. They have gotten a bit bigger since week 1. I see him next Monday for my 1 month follow up. I still have stitches

Oh okay may be I will wait untill my 1 week post op on Monday to see what he suggests.. He said my stitches are dissolvable so no need to remove anything in that area.. And oh no I hope they heal up just fine!! I'm sure they will!! I'll try to update my post as much as I can if I think of any other questions I sure will ask.. I appreciate it!! And let's keep in touch with the healing!!

So happy with my results

Procedure date 12/28/2021I have been wanting a breast augmentation for as long as I can remember. I knew I didn't want anything too big. 310 cc on left. 340 on right. The process itself was great. Dr. Doan is very knowledgeable and knows what he is doing. He is a little more serious than other drs but his wor...
