Hi ladies! My surgery is scheduled for Jan 13th and I have one pre-op appt. until my surgery date. During my consultation my doc recommended 400-425cc HP, which sounds so huge to me (both the cc amount and profile)! I asked for a small D and currently I am a full 34B. I have a really active lifestyle (hiking, camping, spin class, pilates, yoga, weights) and I don't want my implants to get in the way of that. My BWD was 13.1, I believe. I know that girls a lot of times wish they went larger, AND that taller girls generally need larger implants- but I'm still losing sleep over the size/profile. Any advice/thoughts?

I want to give you the perspective of a person who went too large. My doctor told me that most women regret going too small, so I went along with it. I should've went with my first instincts of getting 250-300 cc implants but went with 400/450. They were so huge that they freaked me out every time I looked at them. Everybody would stare at them and it made me really uncomfortable. If you're not a person who likes a lot of attention then go with a modest size. If you are going for a sexual look then go for the larger size. Everything I wore looked overly sexy and it drove me insane. I couldn't even wear a tee shirt without feeling uncomfortable. I was depressed and embarrassed for 2 years before having them removed a couple weeks ago. If you are having any hesitation, really think this through. Maybe read my story or other women who have undergone explant procedures so you get another perspective of having large implants. Hope this helps

Oh and p.s... my cc's took me from a 36b to a 36DD so if you're looking for a D maybe you should go a tad smaller. My doc said the general rule was that 150cc is about a cup size

Thank you, I really appreciate your input!! :) I would be more upset if they were too big than too small, so I'll keep what you said in mind for my pre-op tomorrow!

How exciting!! Yes, you really have to follow your gut in this and not worry about what other people think. I let my bf's opinion influence my own and it was the worst thing I could've done. Good luck tomorrow!!

Also, I have much less breast tissue than you to start with and I got 400cc UHP (so more projection) and I think they'll be big, but natural big, not super faux big. I think 400-425cc HP would look great on you, but it really depends on what you're going for!

I'm sorry, I just saw this! So you did end up with 400?! They're perfect for you! I think I'm going to talk with the doc tomorrow about 375- 400 mod+. I'm leaning towards 375

Pre-op tomorrow!!

Tomorrow's my pre-op and I couldn't be more excited. Mostly to get it paid for and also to officially pick a size! Originally I liked the 400cc implants on me (I'll take pics at pre-op tomorrow with sizers) but the 400 number really freaked me out. I didn't like 425cc's and so 400 was my limit. My doctor originally suggested HP but I got thinking more and more about moderate plus. I have an above average BWD of 13.5... and the width of the 400cc HP is 12.3 (I think?) and the width of the moderate plus is 13.1. Im terrified of having a big gap, that's what I absolutely don't want. Naturally I have a gap but I don't want too narrow of an implant that enhances the gap... does that make sense or do I sound crazy? Anyways, tomorrow I'll be trying on 375 and 400 and most likely going mod+.

I attached some before photos of different lighting and some full body because I know that's something that I've been looking for in reviews. I like my boobs now, they're cute to me and depending on the time of the month and the bra, they don't look too shabby! But in a bikini (which I live in 6 months of the year) and other outfits they disappear. I'm tall and have more weight in my lower body so I want some balance.

Again my stats are:
Height: 5'9.5
Weight as of these pics: 136#
BWD: 13.5 cm
Current bra size: 34 B
Goal size: D

If anyone has some input I'd love to hear it. :)

I'm reading your review and I'm in the exact same boat as you with what the doc recommended vs what I think about gap and bwd. I'm obsessing over it all . It's a good reminder I'm not alone

Pre-op done! 400 mod+

Done, paid for, size finalized! I had a slight panic attack after I left just because it all became even more real but that quickly passed and now I'm just excited!

I went with 400cc, moderate plus plus profile. I attached some photos with the actual implant (not the sizers) in a little bralette I was wearing under my shirt. I love the side profile and I think they are really proportionate to my body. They will look slightly smaller and obviously more natural inside my body than these pictures do... so just use your imagination ;) I also attached two goal pics that I showed my surgeon and he said that they match up well with the 400 mod+. Proportionate to my body is ideally what I was going for, so hopefully these will get me there! I debated between 375 and 400 for a long time, but what sold me on the 375 was the diameter of the implant... it's more ideal for my BWD (13.5).

As always, opinions are welcome and appreciated :)

I think they fit your frame very well! It seems like that's what you were going for by your wish pics. Good luck to you, can't wait to see how they turn out!
