45 years old and 2 breastfed children - Full anchor lift with 400 cc mentor moderate plus silicone under muscle -La Jolla, CA
ORIGINAL POST

WORTH IT$10,975
My surgery is scheduled in 2 days and I'm still freaking out about size. Getting full anchor lift with implants - mentor moderate plus silicone under muscle - and still debating between 350, 375, and 400 cc.
I am 5'5" and 115 pounds. Swam competitively so have a broad chest and back and don't want to look too heavy.
I did 2 sizing appointments and the doctor has ordered the 400cc implant as per our last appointment. But am having last minute doubts that I've gone too big.

Thank you ! I just saw your review and yours look great already!and our pre op boobs are identical :)

they look nice! I am so jelly! my surgery date is March 31st . I am getting a lift and 360 cc Natrelle. I been wondering if that is too big but looking at yours makes me guess if I should go bigger. Although I am shorter.

Hi there ! I'm excited for you !!! Waiting for surgery and picking out sizes was tough!!! What does your plastic surgeon suggest for size ? My ps wasn't very helpful in that regard and kinda left it up to me.
What size are you now and where do you want to end up ? I'm happy with my size so far but I had very little to start with. You can see on my pre op photos that I was really deflated.
Keep me posted and I will be thinking of you. I'm here if you have any questions :) [RS bleep]

I am deflated i have not shopped for bras in a long time. I have 3 kids and i breasfed. So yeah deflated i wear a 34c right now VS pink and padded. If i go braless i have no boobies.

It sounds like we are very similar. 360cc will look great on you and definitely won't be too big. If you're unsure - ask to do another sizing at your plastic surgeons office or do the rice test at home. Both helped me ultimately feel comfortable with size I'd chosen.

Hi - just search "rice test" at top of real self... Or on Internet- and it gives instructions. Basically you'll fill up a piece of pantyhose and fill with the amount of dry rice that is equivalent to the cc your implant will be. I'm going to try to send you the link now in a private message
It's helpful because you can wear the rice implant around and see how it feels and looks from the comfort of your home. And you won't feel rushed or embarrassed as I sometimes did when I was at my plastic surgeons ;)
Let me know what you think !

When is your surgery? What size are you going with afterall?
March 22, 2016
Hi - my surgery was 3/9 and I used 400 cc silicone mentor moderate plus under the muscle :) very happy thus far xxxx

Under the muscle looks more natural. I am 5"1, 115 lbs and have a silicone D size cup and nobody ever thinks they are fake because I have a broader chest like you. You will regret if you don't go larger vs. smaller. If you go too small they won't meet enough in the middle and it will look like to half oranges with a big gap in the middle. The larger size helps them look more natural on your type of chest. When they are under the muscle, they don't look fake or too big because your chest muscle helps blend the implant into your frame. You will be happy.

Thanks I ended up with 400 cc and you're so right. I'm really glad I went with the larger option
UPDATED FROM Perkeepleese
1 day pre
Decided on 400 cc!!!
Surgery is tomorrow at 12:30 !!! So nervous and excited. Talked to the nurse on the phone and she was really helpful. Both sizing appointments I picked the 400cc which will apparently look like 375 under the muscle. I feel good about my decision.
Tried to take my own photos rather than yesterday's having my husband do it. I am past the selfie generation which is clear in my awkward poses :)
