I have been looking into getting breast implants...

I have been looking into getting breast implants for a couple of years now. I decided a month ago I wanted to do this for sure. I went to my consultation and scheduled the surgery for three weeks from now. I am very nervous but excited and I'm having a hard time figuring out what size I should go for.

Did your PS discuss your goals and what might suit you? I'm having trouble too... Deciding between 330 moderates and 385 HP... Lol so much to think about;)

From what I'm hearing they say go with your bigger option. I have my sizing appt Tuesday so hopefully will figure it out then.

What did your PS suggest during your consult?
You've got great wish pics. I liked the 400 rice sizes on you. Remember, you will lose about 50cc's if you go under the muscle.

He said he had no suggestions at that point and it was all up to me. My sizing appt is this Tuesday, so hopefully he can tell me what he thinks is okay. Everyone is saying if you are leaning towards two sizes pick the bigger one. I wonder if 400 would be to huge? I feel that I am curvy enough but 400 on some ladies is BIG

Be careful when doing your research & comparisons...everyone is different. As my Surgeon's Coordinator says "no one cake pan is the same as the next ".
I have to agree with the majority...go bigger if at all possible. The boob greed struggle is real.

My doctor recommended the rice test. Check out the measurements ration to cc"s for implants. 1/2 cup of rice = 100 cc's (double check online).
3 cups uncooked dry rice is equivalent to 600 cc implants. Put the dry rice in a bag then wearing one of your sport bras adjust the bagged rice. Put your favourite t-shirt then wear this for a little bit. I did this, it feels weird and I had barely an A cup so everything seems big. I went from max to less. I am 5'9" and I was 45 when I got my 520 cc implants. I run 9 km 4 x a week. I have great sport bras and no pain or heaviness. Keep in mind implants weigh less than real breasts and there is no heaviness. I'm super happy with my double DD's. Best money I every spent! I hope this helps.

Pre op today and sizing

Had my preop today. Everything went well. I tried on the sizers. I tried on everything between 350 and 450. Surgeon said he wouldn't recommend going past 450. I decided on the 400 silicone round smooth mentor. Under muscle. He said based on my measurements I could choose between ultra high or high profile. I chose high. I would like a little fuller look. I paid and got my scripts. Went and picked up a bra. Had a hard time picking out what size I thought I would need.

I think the 400s will look great on you...One more week!
Glad your consult went well and that you felt confident in scheduling your surgery. I like your wish boob pictures. Hopefully your doctor can help you determine an implant size based on the pictures. Feel free to join a forum of members also awaiting their April 2015 breast augmentation surgery. Good luck and please keep us posted!
