Thought I'd share this here in case it might help someone with questions or decisions. For my 40th I got 325 cc. My recovery was easier than I anticipated. It felt much like when you work a muscle too much..x10. :)They were perfect for me at the time but I noticed this last year they weren't filling out swimsuits and looked a little saggy. I exercise regularly and participate in many varied racing events and probably didn't support them as well as I should have. I decided to do it one more time but increase to 500cc. The recovery was so easy due to the pockets already existing. I really fretted some over the size, not wanting to look too large. After surgery I was shocked at how "small" they were. They aren't small of course, but I had envisioned such a drastic change and it wasn't. I was also crossing fingers for more in the center (cleavage) but I guess mine are just naturally set too far apart for that to become reality. If anyone has any questions feel free to ask. :)

32DDD....bra measurement
Online bra measurement is a simple process but there are conflicting processes.
I measure a 31 band width and 37 across fullest breasts.
According the to measurement sites that take bandwidth measurement as the bra band literally, I should be a 30G or a 32 DD. I haven't purchased any underwire yet but have tried some on and the 32 band is great but DD wasn't enough and DDD was better....but some bra brands fit me better than others. I can't imagine what vs would put me at ????.
The other methods that convert the band width with my above measurements put me in a 34C. Umm....not happening. That method just can't be correct.

I agree there ought to be a more accurate standard when it comes to measuring. ..if there were, then perhaps all brands would be a little more consistent in size as well...ha ha ha. ..wishful thinking. You look so fabulous with your revision! I'm wishing i had stuck with my original size! Crap!

32 DDD was too small. 32 E or F or G fit cup wise but bothered me under my arms. They came up too high.
34DDD seems to be fitting perfectly.

I personally love 'em...you can dress the up or down. I think much bigger might not give you the sleek, athletic body you're accustomed to. Feel free to comment on the November 2015 breast implant revision surgery forum if you haven't already. Congratulations and thank you for your helpful updates!
