My goal is to get my boobs fuller and happier again. My littlest just turned 4 and it's been a long time since I've thought of doing something for myself. I think this is it. I just need help determining size! I've attached all my current before pictures. I want to be more natural/athletic looking. (stats: 5'6 - 150lbs - Currently a solid size B.)

Going back for my 3rd Appointment to determine size

Ugh! I'm sure my doctor is noticing now that I'm determined to find the perfect size. I am trying to trust his opinion, but it seems to me that his idea of 'the perfect sized boob" is larger than mine. I left my appointment last week decided on 405CC 14.2 BWD mentors (dual plane) and he convince me that was the smallest he would go based on my BWD. So that night, after my girls went to bed I made 400CC rice sizers and wore them for an hour and half and tried on 15 shirts, did my dishes in them and the longer i wore them the more panicky I got. I went to bed and had nightmares. I fell asleep with a pillow on my chest and I dreamt that my boobs were so big I could touch my hands around them. LOL... and way.. the next day I made 325, 350 & 375 Rice Sizers, and the 325s were my favorite, but now I'm wondering if I'm even a good candidate for this augmentation if anything below 405CC is going to look odd on me?!?! And have I mentioned I already paid for it? YES I have. I have seen tons of 400cc pictures of other implants of similar size to myself and they look great, but wearing them made me feel differently. Anyone have any thoughts on how accurate that rice sizer thing is? Hoping to get in with Doctor today. I'll update later.

360cc is the New number and he said he would not do smaller than that. So I'm excited. Sounds perfect to me. Surgery was moved up to next Friday May 8th. Yay! I'm pumped. I'm ready!

I should add (after some weekend reflection and resizing) I actually used my toddlers white tights as my rice sizer bag initially verses panty hose and it made a huge difference. Comparing the two I noticed the white tights were more of a higher profile implant vs a classic implant. Panty hose gives a much wider distribution of the rice, so now I'm back to wanting a 360-385cc implants. Wanted to share that bit of information...

I should make a note on this comment... after some reflection I realized that I use my toddlers white tights to make rice sizers instead of pantyhose and I think that it made the sizers look more high profile. Because i ended up buying regular hose on Sunday tried them and I was much happier at 360cc-385cc. So I just need to pick between the two! :)

I've seen lots of people say they wish they went bigger, rarely anyone say they wish they went smaller. Also most surgeons will tell you sizers need to add at least 50 ccs to them to get the same look with an actual implant, as your body sort of swallows up some of the size. So if you liked 325 sizers, you'd want at least 375 implants.

hi there! My surgery is scsheduled for Friday also. I have a 14 bwd, but am 5'4 and 129, and don't want to be too big! It's hard though with that bwd as I need a larger implant to fit. Thinking 300-350, he will decide on the table. Good luck!!!

After your post-
Im leaning more towards 250 now... I dont want to be one of those poeple who says 'I wish I would have gone smaller' so Im a little nervous. Going to the doctor today to try sizers on again and get my bloodwork done.

You will look more like 300 cc if you get the 360. You lose about 50 cc's. I would go for the 400. I am 5'8", 160 and went with 397 and 425 (uneven). I am conservative as well, a fitness instructor, but didn't want to be too small either. Just proportioned. Didn't want it to be super obvious and was a little apprehensive. The Dr. asked me if I was more worried about being too small or too big and I said, "too big." With the sizers it's deceiving because it's under the muscle and they aren't as big as the sizers. I liked the 325 sizers but am so glad I at least went with 397 because I now feel I could've gone up to 450. I'm not unhappy just now realize that they don't seem as big once they're actually in. Believe what they say that most people wish they would've gone bigger. I went with my top size choice and glad I did they look more like the 375. Hope this doesn't confuse you but I know how hard it is. You don't want to have the surgery and then be like, "this isn't much difference." I am 8 days post op!
