I went in and fell in love with my PS and immediately knew I wanted to book the surgery. We went over size and he told me he would feel comfortable going with 360cc, saline. I told him I liked the "gummy bear" shape and how natural the results were. He told me that by going with a bigger bag and not "overfilling" the bag he could achieve that shape even with the round implant. That sounded great to me because I'm not into the "fake" look. I would like a natural slope and "sag" (if you will). Now that I have gone home and the surgery is booked (Feb. 26th) I am starting to get nervous. Does this sound achievable with the round saline implant? Will this cause rippling? What will 360cc get me to as far as cup sizes go? I am a 32A-b currently, and have breastfed for over a year. I originally said I wanted to go a medium C because I am worried about them being too big. I am 5'6'' and 126 lbs. However after seeing a ton of breast on the internet It seems to me in order for them to have a natural full look they have to be bigger.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Did your PS see your wish boob picture? You can also pose your pre op and wish boob picture on our RealSelf Doctor Q&A to get a variety of opinions and responses on your size question. Perhaps another visit to your PS to clarify the size would be ideal for you...and this is quite common so don't feel badly! ;)

Surgery went well, 370 mp implants in both sides, saline unders. I was also given drains for the first few days. The pain was tolerable and I felt well enough to be up and moving 4 days post op. I was super excited and in love with absolutely everything, now I'm am beginning to worry. And by worry I mean I am deeply saddened and can't help but think I look awful and uneven and I don't think thigs will ever even out like people say it will. One breast seems way bigger to me. Which is mind blowing since i had the same volume to begin with and received the same Implant in each breast. My PS of course says everything is normal and looks great but I can't stop feeling like this. I know things are off, even when I'm in clothes things look uneven. When I cup my implamts them feel like different sizes. The move slightly, they really are hardly sore just normal tightness and are still high of course. One seems to point down in my opinion and my side boob feels very off. One side touches my arm and the other doesn't. I have another appointment tomorrow so I hope I get more reassurance and questions :/

I'm 3 weeks post op today. I went through the asymmetry and lopsided look too. Although I hated what it looked like, I didn't freak out because I just really trust my doctor. And now at only three weeks post op they are way more equal in size and symmetry; almost exactly alike. They still have more dropping and filling out to do over the coming months, but they look WAY better than they did in the beginning. You have to give it time. I know it's hard because we want to see the final result "now". The muscles will not relax at the same time on each side and the implants won't drop at the same time. The tighter the muscle, the smaller the implant looks. Three weeks post op may not be the magic number for you to see more symmetry. Everyone heals at their own pace. But for now, trust your doctor.
Also, my doctor gave me the same advice about not filling the saline implant to full capacity in order to give my breast a natural slope "sag". My implant went to 550 max and he filled it to 500. He told me, and I've read other doctor's reviews that have said this actually has less risk of rippling. At three week post op I already see a pretty nice slope forming. I can honestly say that I'm already pretty happy with the way they look. I can't comment much on a size outcome because i was slightly bigger than your pre op pics and I went with more cc's. I'm 5'4", 120 lbs; was a 32/34A (depending on the bra). But I'm 46 and have breast fed three babies. My breast tissue was barely there.
