Hi RealSelf community! As many of you, I've been...
Hi RealSelf community! As many of you, I've been doing a lot of research and reading many reviews. My breast consultation is coming up shortly (Jan.8) and I'm debating what size I should get. I'm afraid of being top heavy as I have a petite frame but based on the many reviews here boob greed is more likely than the boobie blues lol. I feel 350 cc might be too big and that's probably because I'm afraid of the number itself. Let me know what you ladies think. Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Some Dr's. Tell you to try on the sizes and not pay any attention to the number, when you find what feels comfortable for you size wise then look at the number . I hope this will help :) good luck

350 is not big at all! I went 340cc silicone and I regret one going too small and two getting saline. I was scared of the number as well so the dr did 340 so I wouldn't freak out if he did the 350. I went from a 32A and now I'm about a 34C/D depending on the bra. I regret going so small! I feel like even 400-425 would have been perfect. I'm petite 5'2 weigh 115. When I wanna wear a dress or a shirt with no bra my boobs still look so
Small! Only with a bra they look as big as I would like them to look. I wish someone would have told me! I hope this advice helps.

Consultation right around the corner!
My consultation date with Dr. Jerome Edelstein is quickly approaching and I am so anxious/excited! I'm aiming for full D, high profile. Here are some wish pics

I have surgery with Dr. Edelstein on Feb 26! Before my consult I was really focused on the cc number....and what I thought I would want. 400cc seemed scary and I thought I would be comfortable not going over 350cc. I also did NOT want high profile. After my consult that all changed. I ended up choosing 415cc full profile. Dr Edelstein prefers to use Natrelle Inspira implants, so full profile is basically the high profile equivalent. (Here is the website for their profiles and sizes http://www.sarasota-med.com/files/2015/07/151436-Natrelle-INSPIRA-Sales-Tool_ST_Sprds.pdf) Try not to get too focused choosing a size before your consult, it all depends on your bwd) and also because when you try on the sizers you won't give all of them equal chance if you tell yourself what cc number you DON'T "think" you want. Wait until you see what each of the profiles and sizes actually look like on your body. Someone getting 350cc will look totally different than another person getting 350cc....so getting hung up on the number doesn't do you any good. I drove myself to the brink of insanity trying to choose, because even though the 415cc sizers looked good on me....I had seen so many pictures on here of other people who got 400cc+ and I thought that they looked really big....that I didn't even want to give it a second thought! I showed Dr E my wish pics and said I wanted to be roughly a small D and the 415cc was my largest option out of 3. Good luck with your consult!

Thanks for the link and some insight! I can't help thinking about the cc number haha. But I am def going there with an open mind. Good luck with your surgery! Keep us updated :)

Good luck with your consult on Friday! And yes, keep an open mind when it comes to cc's. I am on the smaller side 5'6", 110# and I got 275 high profile unders and I measured at 8 weeks out 30DD. That being said, I prefer a looser band so I get either 32D or 34C. In either case I completely fill the cup. At this point they will get softer, but I don't expect them to drop too much more. I will keep the upper pole fullness which I have come to really like. I've had to buy new bras (obviously), but I am able to still wear most of the clothes I had before. Take care!!

Did you feel some of the sizes you tried on make you look top heavy? I don't know if it's cause I'm not used to it or it actually does look big... Probably a little bit of both haha

The biggest size I tried on was 300 and that looked ridiculous on me. I thought the 275's looked big when I tried them but as you said, we're just not used to seeing ANYTHING, so everything looked big to me. He actually brought three sizes (225, 250 and 275) into surgery with him and decided during the surgery which would fit and look the best. He's the expert and I left it up to him.
I do feel now since I've had surgery that I don't think I look top heavy (you can see my profile and I think I look pretty proportional, but clothes that were a little looser or more flowing now make me look heavy. I used to be able to wear anything that was really loose like a peasant blouse before, but now I try to avoid those and wear something a little more form fitting.
