Hi girls, im scheduled for ba April 13, 2015. Had my consult and kinda ended up more confused on sizing. This whole time i have been set on 450cc silicone. So at my consult i tried on 450cc sizers ( tear drop style, even though mine will be round silicone Mentors, thats what they use for trying on at my Doctors) anyways i was shocked how huge 450 looked on me vs 450 rice sizers i made at home. Side profile was fine, the problem was how much side bood it gave me and even made me look heavier. My doctor said rice sizers not too accurate but i cant help but think the sizers at the office are way of what 450cc silicone really looks like. My stats for ref are 5"2 1/2, 120lb (sometimes less) 32inch breast, 28inch breast band, 26inch waist, 38 hip rear. I currently wear 34c ( can fit on some B's but feel tight) bra as that is what feels best on me but look more like a B. On sude note the surgical type bra that they made me use at the consult felt very loose so that might have something to do with how those sizers looked. My profile pic is me with my 450cc rice sizers, pink top is 425cc rice sizers and white top pic is consult sizers. What is your opinion on how accurate these sizers are? Or maybe i should think going smaller. I like how 450cc looks on girls my size. Note i was a 34D while pregnant, in past but now kinda saggy small C large B. Would like D look at least.

Ask your PS about your breast width dimension. At the office they might of had a moderate profile, which is wide. Moderate plus is not as wide and a little more projection. High profile will have the most projection and not as wide.

My breast width was 11.2cm so I went with Allergen's style 15 304cc mid range. Which is 11.9 cm. After you get your breast width, you can look up the dimensions online to figure out what implant would best fit.
March 16, 2015
Thanks cpmyb, totally makes sense what you said, and i cant believe i forgot to ask doctor what profile he would use on me. Im almost positive now that the office sizers where moderate since they seemed so wide and low.
March 16, 2015
They always look smaller when u put them under the muscles.
March 16, 2015
This is probably true!

I also tried on 450 CC size at The office I also thought they looked big. I decided with 421 cc under the muscle silicone I probably could've gone a little bigger. Difference between 421 and 400 only 2 tablespoons . I could've done for 450 , they get compressed once they are under the muscle. I am almost 4 weeks out
March 16, 2015
Hi Mommieof3beauties , just checked out your profile review, based on your results i would agree with you that yes they look smaller under the muscle vs the sizers, but your results still look very nice and full for sure. My doctor thinks 450 is a good size for me and proportionate and nurse said he tends to be a conservative doctor so i should really take into account his imput.

Please keep us posted I am too confused on what size I want 450cc or 500 cc HP I'm due at the end of May so i still have some time to think about ,..Good luck, and prayers for a speedy recovery ♥
April 5, 2015
Thank you, i will definately be posting updates soon. It helps so much to see others results :)... One suggestion would be if you loved 450 sizers what about 475, just a thought. As for me what made me just go for the 450 vs 425 was that i usually almost always like that size on every one around my height and weight. Good luck with you're surgery i will continue to follow up on you're journey.

I think there pretty accurate to be fair. Mine look the exact same as they did when I tried on sizer in office, mine u my hubby thinks there bigger now. I was a deflated a, small b cup and I got 365cc. I'm measuring now a DD but I'm only 2 weeks out and prob still swollen. Not by much I'd say tho. If u are already a C, 450 is a large implant so u will be quit big! Hope I helped :)
March 16, 2015
Thanks Mixie1 for your imput, think i might have to touch base with my doctor on size again.
March 16, 2015
Everybody takes cc differently so I wouldn't go buy that, after reading on here I wanted at least 400cc but when I tried in sizers I nearly died they were huge in 5ft 4. I'm glad I went with 365. Sizers are accurate so just go but what u feel comfortable with not the no"s! Best of luck
March 16, 2015
Yeah i was shocked by size too, haha. Mainly how one boob went to the right and other to the left, side profile was good though. I need to upload the side profile pic of doctors office sizers.

I don't think there too big at all tho they look like a good size for you Hun
March 16, 2015
Right they look good side ways, just the front, those sizers prob moderate, i think i will need highprofile.
March 16, 2015
Mibe are high profile I'm quiet narrow on top and he said moderate would make me look fat! Lol! I love the high profile and I even gave side boob! :)
March 16, 2015
Sorry stupid ifone! U know what I'm saying tho :)
March 16, 2015
Thanks Mixie1 haha i know what you mean, starting to feel better about this :) my pre op is March 31st so i will update soon.... Cant wait.
March 16, 2015
Brilliant! Keep in touch :)
March 16, 2015
Wow he uses sizers now? I wish he offered that option to me instead of just overfilling my 425cc implants to 1000ccs and ruining my life. Did you read any of his reviews on here or online? I wouldn't let him touch me again even if my life depended on it. I actually just saw a thread going on FB with a handful of other women who got a bad BA from him. Be careful! I think inaccurate sizers will be the least of your problems. You know he has two malpractice suits against him right? I can't believe people still go to him with all the information about him available to them online.

Cls904, sorry to hear you had a bad experience with Dr. Csikai, could you please elaborate on the issues you had?
April 3, 2015
April 3, 2015
Tc73, thank you for reassuring me on Dr. Ck i also thought about that there seems to be no pics from this cls904 poster but what i have seen for sure are great reasults on Dr. CK's patients and yours now too looking great and in so little time after surgery, congratulations by the way :) im happy with my Dr. Choice :) my surgey is comming up in 10 days so i will post op pics soon.
April 3, 2015
You are welcomed! Now is not a time for negativity, it hinders the healing process. I'll be following your journey! Congratulations on your choice!
April 4, 2015
Yes thats so true :)
April 8, 2015
Wow, TC73 you are unnecessarily rude. I'm only letting people on here know what happened to me because I wish I had someone do the same for me. When I was looking into Dr. Csikai the only thing I had to go by was fake good reviews posted on google by his office staff so I wish someone would have posted about their bad experience. I'm glad your results turned out good that must be nice. I wasn't being negative I was being honest about the careless decisions he made because he IS an incompetent surgeon. Good luck to both of you!

CLS904....Stop discouraging people from going to Dr. Csikai. You are the only one heard that is dissatisfied that I've come across and you're using so much energy trying to talk people out of using him. 2 women from Realself had BA and or TT with Csikai this week and are already satisfied. I am satisfied. We all have real pictures. Even the women who had bad experiences with other surgeons posted pictures to show what they are referring to. You know as good as anyone else there are no refunds for procedures so why discourage others because you are disgruntled? I chose him because I know people personally that he did BA or TT on. He did both of my surgeries. We all are Satisfied! Why don't you use your energy and pickett in front of his office if you hate him so much to warn future patients?

I apologize for going off on your page. She took me there
April 8, 2015
No worries i completly understand.
April 8, 2015
Ok well I'm not going to sit here and go back and forth with you. It's really not that serious. But I'm not the only one. Take a look at the handful of bad reviews on his realself page as well as other search engines before you try single me out. You attacked me on a personal level that had nothing to with MY OPINION of a Doctor I was unhappy with. I also know someone personally who was not happy with him so we can do this all day. There is no right or wrong. I'm not discouraging anyone just sharing my experience. If you find it discouraging then maybe you have a negative mindset? Its just a forum you need to chill out. Aren't you a little old to be bullying people on the Internet?

March 18, 2015

So excited for you!!!

First you should've tried the office sizers with the tank top not that white top. That shirt is not doing anything but making u look too big. The tight tank top would've let you see approximately how u might end up. The biggest regret is not going big enough. Remember that it's going behind the muscle so you lose a few projection wise. I think 450 is gonna look awesome on your frame. It's all about dimensions ask your surgeon if that's the right size depending on your band width the last thing you want to do is end up with too wide implants/side boob. Also like the other girl's comment maybe those sizers were moderate. Go retry if u want so you have no regrets. I have moderate plus 397cc silicone I am getting a revision soon 450-550cc HP silicone. My biggest regret is not getting HP & going bigger cuz these moderates are heavy and sag. Good luck and keep posting your updates on your journey! :):)
March 22, 2015
Thanks Marilyn75, I think you are right about the white shirt, my pre op is March 31, 2015 so this time I'm bringing in several different shirts. Pretty sure those office sizerrs were moderates, my under boob measurement is 27 inches so I want HP, cause I don't want to look saggy or heavy up top. As you can see I look thin withought sizers and even with rice sizers then with the office sizers I look big. I def don't want to regret not go big enough either. I will be posting more pics after my pre op.
