I am having such turmoil with my implant size decision. I am 5'6" 169lb athletic build. My current "bombshell" bra puts me at a 32b but my PS says I am a 33a or maybe even AA. I have no drooping and they are the same size..tiny. He first suggested 385cc Inspira smooth..and now 415cc. Help!!! I don't know what size to choose. I want a very "natural" look. This is hard for me because whatever I decide is going to look bigger. I was a full B prior to kids and nursing. He keeps saying my frame can handle it but can my brain. I don't want the first thing that walks into the room be my boobs. HELP!!!

I think we all have these same thoughts. We get fixated on cc numbers and don't want to look like strippers, especially if you're a mother and a professional. But I can say that most women regret not going larger, and I have yet to hear of anyone regretting going to large. I wanted to keep it conservative and was thinking 350cc... I ended up with 457 and 492 cc and I'm glad I did. I would have been disappointed with 350 for sure.

Thank you for your feedback. I am concerned with my shirt's not fitting and people really noticing! !! I am a mom and working professional so I want to stay conservative and it's more about what I think of myself aND my confidence

Same situation here. You can look at my review and see that even though mine look large (still swollen, also), they're barely notic able in clothes! You'd be surprised how easy they are to hide. But it's nice to have something to show off on those rare occasions when you want to. Best of luck with your decision!

I had mine done on March 3. I started with 350 CC and ended up with 450 cc. They are barely noticeable in clothes, even though they are high and tight. My BFF's mom even approved. So, go bigger; it's not as big as it seems. I am only 5'3" and I can handle the 450's like a champ. Good luck!

I know that 415cc seems like a lot but on your frame it won't be. I think you would look natural with this size. I am 5 foot 2 inches 100 lbs and have 425 cc high profiIe round silicone. I started with a 32 a and have a BWD of 11.3 cm. I actually had to have a revision because I went too small and was very unhappy. My surgeon gave good advice the second time around. He told me, "when in doubt go with the larger implant". You are talking a very small amount of different between these two implants. Go with the bigger one. All implants look fake the first few months following surgery by 10 months you can't tell they are fake at all. If you really want to learn more about how doctors size I have a post with all the implant charts. Just measure you BWD (breast width diameter) and you can see exactly the recommended sizes. Be aware you are dealing with milimeters difference with BWD so even though mine was 11.3 I went with a 12.0 implant. This gets rid of the gap in between your breasts which might be why your doctor is recommending a wider implant. I hope this helps! I started following you so I can try to help answer questions as they come up. So excited to see your results :)

What did you decide. I would say go for the bigger one. They drop and the sicone implants tend to look more natural. Youll regret not going bigger. I just got mide done high profile 445cc and wish i had gone slightly bigger even though the implant itself looked huge when I got to hold it in my hand. I was a size C before kids and after breast feeding the ended up sagging and going down to a small B. The 445cc filled out all that excess skin very nicely and i love how they look a week post op. I know they will drop though, thats the only reason I wish I had gone slighly bigger.

Think I am going with the 415cc

Thank you for all of your help. I think I am going to go with the PS recommendation of 415cc. He is the expert for a reason so who am I to second guess his recommendation. I am still so nervous though. I am only 10 days away from the boobies I have always wanted. Also to clarify from my previous post....I am 159lbs NOT 169lbs... Lol. I am also going to check exactly what the profile is...I know he is going with the Inspira Gummy Bear implants and the cc's but can't remember anything else. I will update everyone hopefully tomorrow. And just so you know....I will probably change my mind at least another 100 times before the 30th.

It's totally normal to be unsure and change your mind a lot. This means you are owning this decision! I wish I would have done this before my first surgery because I could have avoided my revision. Definitely ask about profile. Moderate plus stick out normally about 3.2 cm (this is what I had for my first surgery). High profile stick out 5.2 cm. with the moderate plus I had zero cleavage. With high profile I have cleavage and feel not too big but like I got my money's worth. Since you breastfed and are looking to fill back up the hug profile would be a good option. The other reason high profile is nice is because you are a small girl (33 A) so you usually need high profile because you can't go too wide and the only other way to get volume in you is to go out. Any questions you have you go ahead and ask! I hope you get exactly the boobs you want. Did you show your surgeon wish boobs?

Thank you so much for all the advice. I emailed him and am hoping to hear back tomorrow. I didn't show him any pictures but did tell him exactly what I wanted. My good friend went to him and I am her 4th referral. He is supposed to be the best. I hope he is. Even despite breastfeeding both my boys I had no sagging. I have very little breast tissue and perky breast but they also left me with all nipple, lol. I am anxious to find out which profile he is recommending. I will keep you posted and thank you again for reaching out. It is nice to have people to discuss this with that have been thru it already

Hi there, Just my two cents: I had saline implants (the only available at that time) back in 1999. I am 5'8" and was around 160 then. I was barely a natural B cup and wanted to be a full C. He encouraged me to go for a D cup and said he didn't want me to go through all this and be disappointed. I deeply regret going larger. My husband on the other hand...well, he appreciates it lol. I now have issues with sagging and drooping. I really wished I had stuck with what size I knew I wanted. P.S. A revision at this point for me is going to run about $12,500. I showed my expert surgeon exactly my dream boobs, right out of [RS bleep] and she was a C cup. REALLY wished I had stuck to exactly what I knew I wanted.

Also told me my frame "could handle" the larger size. Had to comment because a lot of what you are saying your doctor said, is what mine said.

I'm scheduled for tomorrow at noon and I've already changed my mind 50 times inside my head and then I go right back to my decision with the doctor and I have to leave it there because I'm just overthinking everything I made a decision during my consultation which I then had about three weeks to think about and during the pre-op I aaked to try on several different sizers... I decided to go bigger (jut a lil) because it's what I wanted to begin with I was just trying to be modest I still want to be natural and not to fake but I don't want to end up wishing that I went bigger (like I originally wanted to) & my body and frame can def handle it.... im 140lbs 5'5" (I always thought i was 5'4") wish me luck girl no coffee in the morning doctor told me to take a Valium tonight after work I still got a little grocery shopping I want to do when I get off work and I'd like to hit the gym too I'm going crazy!!!!!

So I was in communication with my PS assistant all day yesterday. Back and forth with all my craziness. I found the exact implant is the Inspira SRF...so yes they will be high profile. This makes me nervous but what doesn't. I was assuming I was getting moderate profile but I don't know why I would assume that....I am a AA. Anyways, they are the ones I tried on and I kinda know what they will look like. She assured me either they 385 or the 415 will look great whatever i choose but she thinks I will be happier with the overall result of the 415. She said they will look a littlw smaller once they are implanted behimd the muscle. My husband does not understand why this decision is proving to be so difficult. He said that I was through two c sections and never reasearched my OBGYN like I am my PS and they were handling our children. Well as of today, at this very moment, i am going with the 415. Anyone know the projection or diameter difference between the two? I can't seem to find it anywhere. Wish me luck.

I've been agonizing over EXACTLY the same decision!!! btw the 385 & 415's. And making myself absolutely completely crazy in the process!!! Everyone says it's a negligible difference, but I went back and tried them both on again (actually a 350, & 375/400 - since that'll be the outcome). I have to say that this time I did notice a diff btw them! What do you think?? Are you happy with them? And do you feel that you lost 10% with placement?

Hope you're doing well Hun, they look beautiful! Love to see some pictures now after they've dropped and settled!! Thanks Hun =)
