34, 2 Kids, 32a, Getting Silicone Teardrop Implants..255cc or 295?!
ORIGINAL POST
I'm getting silicone teardrop implants put in in...
$8,069
I'm getting silicone teardrop implants put in in two weeks and still have not decided on size! I'm torn between 255cc or 295 cc. Will I notice a huge difference between the two? Im going for a very natural athletic look and am worried the 295 cc will be too large for me. Any input would be so helpful! I've included photos from my PA and also "wish boob" pictures. Help!

What are your stats? I'm 2 months post op and I had 225 ccs saline I'm 5'3 and 98 pounds. Im measuring at a C/D now :) pre op I was measuring like 30A!

Depends on your chest width and how much natural tissue you have to begin with. What is your goal size?

I don't think it would be a huge difference. I noticed most women wish they would have went bigger afterwards anyway. If your doctor thinks it will work fine with your body type, why not? I got 650cc, and at first thought I'd rather go smaller with 600cc at my fitting. But the nurse said that 50cc's isn't that big of a difference and I remembered reading many women talking about they wish they'd have went bigger, so I did and was super happy with my results!

Your progress is exciting...makes me anxious, and excited at the same time for my upcoming additions :)
I realize you didn't get the teardrops, but see that you had the same to initial choices as me...255cc or 295cc..i'm guessing med. height, mod+. I would love to hear more about that decision...was is just the firmness that changed your mind? Do you know what your BWD was?

Hey! My decision was based on the firmness of he teardrops...although I read so many wonderful reviews on the shaped, I was terrified that I would be the 5 percent who thinks they are like rocks. So just to be safe I went with the Gels..I'm only one week post op but they are super soft already! I'm sure you will be happy with either choice :)

I am! Dr went with 300cc as it looked more natural. (He tested out both the 300 and 325 during surgery) I love them so far!! It's only day one but I feel like they are part of me already!! Will post pics soon :) thanks for checking in! Xoxo

Surgery cancelled yesterday due to sickness :(
I have a cold/sore throat, so my doctor called off the surgery do to risk of complications with anesthesia and higher risk of infection :( super bummed, but luckily we were able to reschedule for next Friday October 14th! Hoping I will recover by then!!
