Worried 450cc Will Be Too Big?! - Palm Harbor, FL
ORIGINAL POST
I have wanted breast implants for years ... at 48,...
$5,500
I have wanted breast implants for years ... at 48, I finally decided it's time to do "me". I went in and tried the sizers ... ended up choosing 450cc. Now a little over a week pre-op, I fear I will be too big. I was wanting a full C to a small D. I am so very excited for my new boobies!!! I now am a 36B ... highly padded. I am looking forward to having the "girls" be all mine.

Trying on the sizers ... how close to reality are they?
I tried on 350, 400 and 450 cc sizers. The 450cc seemed great at the doctor's office but I am second guessing myself. The general consensus of my friends are they are the best choice.

To give you a better idea I was going for 425cc at first then 450 then 475 and then the day of surgery I went with 500cc's and I still wished I went bigger. If you are happy with 400 then go with 450cc's remember you will lose some volume once they are placed especially if you are going under the muscle. If you like the 450 look then go one size up or two not sure if you are doing saline or silicone but really 50cc's is not much of a difference but what ever size you most like go one size up. Again just my opinion but it seems to be the general feeling after girls lose swelling they think they are huge (which by the way i did not feel i loved them the day of surgery) then the swelling goes down and they feel they should have gone bigger as i do and I did venture up LOL. Go with your gut feeling it never steers you wrong. GOOD LUCK!!! See you on the other side!!

I think the 450 sizers look great on you! just remember that you will lose 50 ccs if going under the muscle so don't worry about looking too big :)

Decisions decisions decisions ....
So much great advice ... Leaning towards 450, silicone, high profile, subfascial . One week from tomorrow. So much to do before the big day. Shop ... Clothes, food, meds.

What is your height, weight, and breast width?
June 12, 2013
Newdawn, I started out a 32/34 A. My breast width is 13 and ribcage 29. I have 400/450 silicone unders, just shy of 2 mos post op and measured 34 E or 32 F at Nordstrom. The woman who measured me said that I would most likely be able to wear 34 Cs to even 34 DDD depending on bra makers and style. Augmented breasts are SO different than real ones....honestly, I don't even need to wear a bra. I have my eye on a few very pricey but beautiful yet comfy bras. I need to convince myself to splurge though bcuz my boobs look just fine in bandeaus and those Bali stretch bras. Its a whole different ballpark with boobies lol:-) :-)

Thank you for starting your journey on RealSelf! I often tell women when they are down to the wire and are stressed about sizing, to show their ideal breast photos to their PS. This way you know you're on the same page about the outcome. Congratulations on doing something special for yourself! Good luck next week....we'll be anxiously awaiting your updates!
