WORTH IT$5,000
Hello all!
I'm 21 years old, 5'4" and weigh 125 lbs and I'm a 34A. I'm scheduled to get my BA on 4/16 with Dr.Krau and we decided on 350cc. I've yet to go to my pre-op and I'm having some doubts on whether 350cc is going to be too small. When I went for consultation Dr said I had good enough cushion. So, I'm not completely flat (even though I think I am).
I want to look natural but I don't want to wake up from surgery and feel like I've chosen a small size. I originally wanted 275cc, so it's quite the jump, but I'm seeing some reviews and girls are saying that the 350cc are too small and wish they would've gone bigger.
Opinions would be great!

Your wish boobs here are pretty close to what I look like, and Im at 450cc. BUT, I have to say, I feel like they are too big on me so far, but Im only 3 months out. If I could re-do I would prob go in the 350-400 range.

I honestly don't think yours look big on you at all! I think they are perfect! The thing is when I tried on the 400cc at the consult they looked ridiculously huge on me so I know I have to stay in the 350-375 range. Since you went to my same Dr. I'm curious the day you get labs done do they allow you to try on the sizes again or no? And do you get to talk to the doctor that day or is it just the nurse?
sorry for all the q's I just have no one else to ask.

I went 450 cc on one breast and 500 cc on the other and I think I would still go bigger! like 550cc..... most people do. Don't get me wrong I love my breast but for my frame bigger boobs work in my favor because of broader shoulders that I have. If you are tiny framed up top I think you'll look fine!

Just saw your pics and they look phenomenal and don't look overwhelming given the CC's, but as you said you're s little broader than me. I'm very narrow and the space between my clavicle and boobs is not much so I know putting a 400cc is going to have me looking like I'm about to kiss my boobs at all time. When I tried 400 at the office is was way too big on me, but I don't remember if I tried 375..I just don't want to regret going too small with 350. This is so hard to choose!

As far as size goes, you have to remember that once an implant is under the muscle it does get significantly smaller because its somewhat squished. That being said, no one else really thinks my implants look huge on me, but I am really active, and I didnt want giant boobs to get in my way. Switching to silicone made the transition easier since they are so much squishier than my salines were. I was the same though, when I held that 400 cc implant I thought no way in hell would that ever look right on me, and her I am with 450 cc (the doc did sizers during surgery so I didnt know where I would end up) I have a different situation though, I traveled from NYC, so my pre op was the day before surgery, and I already had a BA so there was no way to try on implants. I had to leave it up to Dr Krau. For the record thoubgh Dr Krau has been great, always a phone call away and hes very responsive to my emails when I have questions.

That's right, I forgot you already had implants beforehand. I know what you mean though, I don't want my boobs to get in the way of the things I do. Perhaps I might stick to 375. I hope he lets me try them on at pre-op.

Ughhh... It's SO hard to decide! But you do have a small frame and it doesn't sound like you are going for the "ginormous boob" look where you feel like you have to remind people to look at your face!
And BTW I had boobs that were huge (naturally) and if you run or are athletic they really get in the way & becoming annoying when you have to always wear two sports bras. And you can't buy a size 4 dress because you have a HUGE rack & the rest of you is tiny... Just food for thought..
I would NOT go bigger than your wish pic. Worse case scenario you wear a push up bra now n then... Better than feeling like a hooters girl w boobs the size of your head...
You know?

I definitely don't want huge knockers just want a nice rack. I think the 400cc should be perfect. I just hate that the more boobs I see here at 400cc the smaller they look...it's like boob greed is instilled once you decide you even want a BA. I'm sure I'll be more than happy with 400. It's more than I got now anyways.

Pre-Op
So I went to pre-op today and shared my concern with 350cc being too small. After talking to the nurse and trying sizes again I chose the whopping 400CC!!

Congrats on making a decision, I know it's tough! I think you will love the 400cc's :)
April 3, 2015
Thank you! I am very happy with my decision. Hopefully they look similar to yours, they are PHENOMENAL!

I know! It's so exciting yet nerve wrecking! I feel sort of prepared, yet I feel like I may be missing some things. I have to buy arnica and can't forget that because I bruise easily! They went over everything today with me and I told my nurse I take birth control and I don't recall her saying to stop it...but then when i got home I was reading the paper they gave me with things not to take and BC tabs are there?? I have to call back because now I am confused :/ Do you know if you have to stop taking them?
April 3, 2015
I don't remember anything about BC! I would just call and ask, definitely don't want to risk it. Do you have ice packs? I found them to be very helpful and relieving! Will you have someone around to help you out after surgery?
April 4, 2015
I'll have to make sure on Monday then for sure! I did buy ice packs that are for mothers who are breastfeeding so they fit perfectly on the boob with a gap in the middle for the nipple..pretty excited for those haha. I have my mom taking care after, thankfully!
April 5, 2015
Where did you find the ice pack? I went to target today they didn't have them. I have to check online..
April 5, 2015
I got them at my job (independent pharmacy) but you can order online http://m.target.com/p/lansinoh-therapearl-3-in-1-breast-therapy/-/A-14386190?ref=tgt_adv_XSG10001&AFID=google_pla_df&LNM=14386190&CPNG=Baby&kpid=14386190&LID=9pgs&ci_src=17588969&ci_sku=14386190&kpid=14386190&gclid=CMuIqunE3sQCFSYV7AodzQsADQ

Oh I just saw this (I replied to your earlier post). I think you'll love the 400s!
April 6, 2015
Haha, I'm hoping they aren't excessively big. I am so excited, and nervous, and anxious! I feel like time is going by so slow! All that is on my mind is boobs. It's terrible! lol.
I'll reply here too about your incisions..I hope mine heal just as great as yours! Do you usually scar well?
April 7, 2015
Are you doing Moderate, moderate plus or High profile?
April 7, 2015
My PS told me that since its 400cc I have to do HP because im so narrow, but if I did 350 or 375 it would be mod+! The thing is I don't have much space between my clavicle and boob so I hope I don't end up kissing my boobs for the rest of my life lol
April 13, 2015
400 is a great size! I was a small B & got 397ccs of silicone, under, now I'm a D at Victoria Secret.
