Hello ladies,
I am 27, 5'7" with two kids and luckily my boobs weren't really affected. However, they have always been small and now that (I think) I'm don't having kids, I'd like to turn my 32A into a C. I've been in for a consultation. Dr. Teitelbaum was amazing and he suggested the perfect size for a natural result is 270cc. I trust him but that does sound a bit small so I'm wondering if I should push for the 300cc. I also had 3D imaging done so I'll share the picture below. Anyone have any recommendation when trying to narrow down size? I want them to be perky and full but definitely still natural looking and I am more worried about going too big than too small. TIA!!

That sounds about right if you want a true C cup size printed in the tag of your bra. I am 5'10" and was about your size pre surgery. I asked for a C but my PS based the implant size on the sizers I picked out--375cc. I thought that they looked like a C cup. In reality, 375cc took me to DD cup. It was a bit of a shock at first, but now I wouldn't change it. (I would not go any bigger though!) All that to suggest: try some sizers on at your PS office and focus on the look you want rather than what's printed on a tag. You can always cut the tag off or sharpie over it if you don't like what it says, but your final look will be what you're stuck with. ;)

I totally agree. I'm not really going for a specific size. It's more of a guideline. I do like the 3D images and those are with 275/295. I'm just not sure how I will like them ON ME. Lol, I don't know if that makes sense. I'm terrified of having them done and then feeling like they don't belong on my body or my frame.

My comment here is probably too late, but don't get saline (you won't like it!!!) do get silicone implants, and go for the 300 - it's not that much, and when the swelling goes down you'll see.

My pregnancy boobs

When I was pregnant, my boobs grew to a large B and I'd actually be happy with something like this, maybe just a tad bigger.

Day of treatment

Surgery Scheduled!!! 6/22 so excited!

ecas
I just bumped up my surgery from 7/14 to 6/22 because I'm just so ready to get it done. I have settled for letting my surgeon, who I trust, pick what looks best on me (witching guidelines of course). He recommended a 270-295 range so I have asked him to try the next size up and otherwise stick to 295. I will be getting smooth round moderate profile silicone implants. I can't remember the style but I'll give specifics once I have the cards. I will be going under the muscle with crease incision. I'm so nervous and excited!!! My husband wasn't 100% pro-BA because he likes them natural and doesn't mind the size. Most of all he is worried I won't be happy with the results. He rally just wants me to be happy so...that's a lot of pressure for them to come out perfect lol! My biggest fear is that they will look "stuck on" as I have very little tissue of my own and a very bony chest. Anyone else?

Hi there, I am also scheduled with Dr. Teitelbaum and also think he is fantastic. My husband feels the same way as yours. We are lucky to have husbands who love us the way we are...even though deep down they are probably excited for a bit of a change. I believe my cc range recommended was similar to yours and maybe even a bit smaller. I am 5'3/99 lbs and base width is 13. Best of luck to you. I know we are in good hands :)

Thank you!! Yeah, you're a bit thinner than me so it makes sense :) when is your surgery?
June 8, 2016
Hi: I am scheduled one week after your surgery :) I will be checking to see if you post any updates. Good Luck!

Be careful with Dr. Teitelbaum. I had a very similar "before" to you and he did not do a good job with my BA. I had it done a little over a year ago. When I pointed out the areas that didn't look good (he put in two different sizes to make them more symmetric but the result made them look even MORE asymmetric, my breasts are now very far apart, he did a nipple lift on one side and now the nipples look way different, he did a surgery to correct a inverted nipple and its still inverted, etc) , he was incredibly rude and defensive--A full 180 difference to how he treated me before the surgery. In order to fix it (put a larger implant in the one that is now much smaller than the other), it'll cost me another $4000. But because he was just such a jerk, I'm going to have to go to another doctor entirely. I was warned before to not go to him because a.) he is mean to you if you don't like his results and b.) his implants tend to look very far apart (another plastic surgeon actually warned me about this. I wish I had listened :-(
