WORTH IT$5,500
I have finally decided to get a BA. I can't wait. I am 39 years old, 5'7 and 130 lbs. I had my consultation last week and my PS told me that because of my body frame and the thinness of my skin that I can only go 350 cc MAX. I have seen many reviews and have read that women with my body frame and size have gone much larger. We decided to go with the high profile silicone 350 cc for a more natural look. My pre-op is on May 14th and I'd really like to ask my PS if it's possible to go to at least 400cc. He said in the consultation that if I went any larger that I might risk the implants spilling into my armpits. I don't think there's any harm in him taking a few different sizes into surgery and seeing just how much I can take without it looking unnatural. Does anyone have any suggestions for me?

if i was just looking at your picture i would think you would be able to go bigger than 350cc.I went with 360cc my first BA and i had hardly any natural breast tissue?what is your BW?You also look like you could carry a mod plus to give you a natural look,just based on your shape.Have you gone to get a second opinion?Im obviously not a doctor,i am just looking at your body.

My BW is also 12.5. I am a little shorter than you, just at 5'7 and 130 pounds give or take. Your new augmentation looks amazing. Do you think that I could also take 550 cc's HP silicone? Yours look very nice. I'm afraid that even with 400 cc's I'm not going to be at a size that I'm happy with. It's expensive to get a BA and I don't want to be too conservative. I'm hoping that my PS will allow me to go to a larger size.

Do 550 !! I'm the same height/weight as you and just got 400 cc hp two weeks ago ... I've cried everyday wishing if gone bigger :/

Tarakatie, I'm about 1/2 an inch taller than you and I'm a 12-12.5 bw. I got 425 HP silicone 18 days ago and I love the size. I am a full 36 D. My dr didn't recommend I go larger as I originally wanted 450 and said I could run into complications later on. I'm so glad I trusted my PS cause I LOVE LOVE LOVE my size. If you are questioning talk to you PS. Especially if you only wanna do this once.

what size are you looking to be?
April 30, 2013
Thanx for the reply! :)
I'm 5'7 about 132-135 per given day. I am looking to be a full C or a small D. I've been told by a couple Drs that a higher profile with between 350-400 cc. I have 2/3 of an hour glass shape, and I'm looking to complete that :)

Whoops!! I'm so sorry.! My phone had me confused.. Didn't mean to post that on your profile! If I knew how to delete it, I would :)

I was a small c with my 360cc saline,but ccs look different depending on your current breast and shape,height and weight.If you feel like you could go bigger,I would push for it!So many women wish they would have!Good luck!!

I am getting so nervous and more uncertain about what size implant I should get. I keep reading reviews and looking at post op pics. It's confusing because everyone seems to have different results even if their measurements are similar to mine. I think that I am probably going to go with 400 cc HP silicone implants. I've called my PS and have gone to his office to ask if I could try some sizers on. They told me that I can't do that until my pre-op appt. That's 2 weeks from now. I think I'm driving myself crazy with worry. I don't want to be disappointed that they are too small after I've spent so much money. Am I the only one that has gone through this much worry and anxiety or is this completely normal? I went shopping today to buy sports bras for after my surgery but I have no idea how big I'm going to be. I still have 21 days before my BA. this waiting really stinks.
