Dr. Greco will bring at least 15 sizers into the operating room and decide what looks best during surgery. Going in the 500cc range round smooth silicone. I have wide bwd of 15-16cm and need larger size to see any significant change. I'm probably a 34b currently. I gave him wish pics which he found helpful as well as trying sizers at the preop and I also showed him a few pics of what I don't like. In my mind I'm thinking DD but doctors don't find bra size helpful. My surgeon doesn't see benefit to icing after or sleeping elevated. He uses iv sedation with local pain blockers. That should cut down on the pain of the first few days.

Do u have wide chest diameter do u know? That makes a difference. Mine he said is 15-16cm that's wide. He could put 500 on right and 550 on left. Not that they are exactly diff sizes now but right side projects more due to my chest bone on my right side protruding more. Or if he goes smaller could be 400 on right and 500 on left to even out look. Let u know what happens, I wish I took pick with sizers at office to show. Nurses and Dr suggested it looks good in proportion. I feel peat shape like bigger legs and butt.

Oh typos. Meant pear shape not peat. Stupid auto correct

And I guess I never said but will be under the muscle and incision below crease. He doesn't recommend to cut at nipple because he thinks lots bacteria there for infection.

I am about 15.5 myself. I am 5'9 and weigh about 145lbs. I've heard because of being taller and this I can carry a higher cc. I am thinking about 500. I'd like to look larger than smaller. I'm afraid I'll be disappointed for I go smaller. I'm just on the fence a bit. I've also lost 80 lbs and feel like I need a larger implant because of my sagginess and my loose skin. I'm so scared and nervous. It's all I can think about. My second consult is on Nov. 4th and surgery scheduled for Nov 23rd. I cant wait!

Mine said under the muscle as well and silicone.

You need large then. Try sizers at pre op appt with Dr and nurse. And bring some of your diff shirts with u to see. I figure might end up little smaller under muscle than sizers but on other hand trying with tight sports bra and not push up so a wash.

And bring wish pics. Between wish pics and sizers that should help get the results.

That is for your help=) I agree with the larger size. I can't wait!

Great sports bra

I ordered these inexpensive playtex sports bras on Amazon- zipper, no padded cup, wide supportive straps and very important long so won't cut into incision. I think these will be great! Was around $18 depending on size.
