Hello! I'm currently scheduled to have a breast augmentation on March 31st 2016. My pre op appointment is scheduled for March 4th and I'm a little nervous due to the fact that my plastic surgeon and I are going to be picking the size of my implants. I am 21 years old with a petite body. I am about 5'1 and weigh about 100 pounds. I do not want anything "top heavy" or anything that will make me look heavier than what I actually am. I have a short torso and I do not want anything that makes me torso look even shorter. I guess I am just wondering what amount of CC's would look good on my body type? Thanks!

Congrats on your upcoming op. We are very similar is stats and I have 420cc overs...might be too big for you as they do look big in my petite frame but not ridiculous but I did want big boobs so exactly as I wNt them but might be worth you seeing what those cc's would be like x

Thanks for commenting! I've been looking at pictures of different implant sizes and it's crazy how different the same implant size can look on different body types. I guess large numbers of CC's really intimidate me because I'm so afraid of looking top heavy! Its good to know that something as big as 420cc's doesn't look ridiculous on you since we have the same stats. Thanks again for your comment :)

I think probably around 300-350 cc. Depends on how big you want them. I have 420ccs filled to 450ccs, and I am tall and slim! It all depends on your height and weight.

My only fear with big implants is making me look top heavy like I said. I've been looking at 300cc implant pictures and it's amazing how different they can look on different body types! I think I will try sizers on at my pre op and I will start at 200cc's and move up from there and see what looks good for my body. Again thanks for you response :)

Your surgeon should be board certified in plastic surgery and he should be fully capable to advise how many CCs best fit your body type! I am 5'5 petite and my surgeon didn't allow to get 400ccs he chose 350ccs for me and let me tell you! It was all I was expecting! Trust your surgeon... If he is one to push you for more... Get other opinions! Hope this helps!

What size did you start out with ?

To be honest I never knew an exact size. I would always go for Xs's and wear a 32A but I never fully filled them out. So probably a 32AA is my educated guess!

I'm getting super anxious for my Breast Augmentation! I'm absolutely addicted to Real Self and finding "goal boobies" I like to call them. I've decided to go ahead with The Seattle Plastic Surgery Center in Seattle, WA. Dr. Grenley will be doing my surgery, I've heard nothing but good things about him and his before and after are amazing. I've posted some more "goal boobie" pictures :) I'm counting down the days!!

Hi there! In my case I got 240 CCs. I am on my 3rd day post surgery.
I am 5'2 and weigh 115Lbs (although since the surgery I likely put on 65 lbs because I have use to poop Lol!!
My decision in choosing a size was fairly simple. I don't want peeps to know I had a BA so I wanted to be uber conservative plus I knew that if I was born with a certain amount of bosom, I wouldn't want a BA in the first place. So I chose the minimal amount to make me feel confident and ultimately look natural.
A lot of women here say they like that their breasts look natural but most of the Time, like 80% of the time, I find they look fake. I would choose smaller and real looking over bigger and fake looking. Some lucky women are able to pull off both big and real looking but that is more rare than the norm.
Anyway my point is, ask yourself what do you ultimately want. My 2 cents;-). I look forward to following your journey!!! XxOo

Hi thanks for commenting! I appreciate people's input. I like talking to girls who are the same height and weight as me that way I know what looks good on a smaller body frame. 240 seems like the perfect size to be honest. Everything that I've liked so far have been in between 200 and 300. I look forward to seeing your post op results! :)

I can't believe my post op appointment is done! Only 24 more days until my surgery day. Dr. Grenley is absolutely amazing, he made me so comfortable knowing he's going to do an amazing job. I decided on going with 250cc's under the muscle, textured silicone implants. The number 250 is scaring me a little because I DO NOT want big boobs. I'm afraid of looking top heavy. Although Dr. Grenley did say I will lose about 25cc's since I am going under the muscle. So they will look 225 in the end. I'm going to upload 250 sizers and 225 sizers, please feel free to give any opinions on which looks better!! Thanks guys :)

you will not look top heavy! You will look amazing! Okay so almost 2 years ago I got 300cc implants- I just posted some photos from this week to give you an idea. I am about 95 pounds and 5'1 and very tiny and petite. I do wish they were bigger. You will also lose some cc volume under the muscle. I would go with he bigger option- I think at the end, you may wish you did that. I had the same exact concerns and 2 years later-wish i went a little bigger. :/

Thanks for your opinion!! It's good to know little girls like me can pull off larger implants. I think I will take your advice and go with the 250's. Thanks so much! :)

You definately won't look too heavy!!!! I'm very petite 5'2" 105lb and have 420's you won't look big at all with either X best of luck X

They both look awesome. And very similar...25 cc's won't make that big of a difference. I also want to know where you bought that mushroom colored tank top?!?! I love the style of it. I want one! :)

Oh and for the record, I'm 5'1...flux between 95 - 100 lbs. petite frame. I got 234cc and I LOVE them. They feel amazing and look super natural. Everyone's frame is different and what looks good on one person may not look the same on another person. So keep that in mind when deciding. I have days that mine feel BIG. (for me) Hahaha - so it's really all relative. Go with your gut. 250 will probably make you super happy and look incredible.

Thank you so much!! I took a look at your profile and your implants turned out amazing!! I love the way they look. I hope mine turn out like yours. I called my plastic surgeon today and decided on 225! I think that's a comfortable number for me. And I got the tank top online at Victoria's Secret! They have different colors too
