This site has been so helpful and supportive I wanted to contribute my story. I'm getting my BA in two days!! So excited but having trouble choosing between 500cc and 550cc. Absolutely loved the 500 and 550 seemed too big but I've heard I'll lose some cc's going under the muscle. Should I just go for the 550 to make up the difference?? It's driving me crazy!! Any advice and suggestion are more than welcome.
Stats - 28 yr / 5'7" / 38A or 34B. I'm getting silicon placed under the muscle.

Hi, I'm getting silicon under the muscle as, 650cc in my left, and 700cc in my right. I would suggest the 550cc since you liked the look of the 500cc because I have heard you lose some under the muscle. I think you'll love them. In my opinion, I'd rather be too big than too small, and 50cc is about a half of a shot glass difference. Good luck and congratulations!

I'm defiantly leaning towards the 550. Thank you for the help!!

Hi Yes Go for 550 you will lose some when they go behind the muscle. Plus once swelling goes down you will be a nice size! Good luck!!

I would also recommend 550cc's because you are placing them under the muscle.

Hi, I have 650's and I feel great about them. If you have the option, go up a bit to the 550. You won't notice the difference much.

I'm following your story. I'm also considering Dr. Gottleib, though for different procedures. Interested to see how you turn out - good luck!!!

I was already leaning that way but all of your help sealed the deal. Thank you again for everyone's suggestions. I had my BA yesterday and everything went great. The pain is however a little more then I excpected. It's much better today just a little tightness and my left breast strings to the touch. Ill post pics soon! Thanks again for everyone's help :)

Feeling so much better then yesterday!! I won't lie yesterday was a pretty rough one. It wasn't so much the pain but the tightness. So far I'm loving my 550's and glad I went up a little :)

Wonderful! They'll settle into place very nicely.

Oh the tightness is borderline intolerable once that medicine starts to fade! But you look amazing! Can't wait see what you look like once they drop and fluff :)
