BA is in 3 weeks! Very torn on size and WOULD LOVE YOUR FEEDBACK! I am a 32B (but look like an A cup :/). I mainly want round boobs with fullness to fill out a tank top with no bra. I would like to be two cup sizes bigger. I LOVE the look of 345cc (going under the muscle). However, the nurse made it clear she really recommended the 385. She said 345 was subtle. Of course there's also the possibility but not guarantee, it will appear smaller after going under the muscle. I am not totally comfortable with the 385 and think they're just a bit too big for me. But ....if i love the 345..is it wise to go 385??

WHen i think about it emotionally, I think i would be more upset at feeling like i was too top heavy then feeling like i had great shaped breasts that were a bit smaller than expected. I am leaning to changing my mind to 345 ...but looking for other objective feedback!

Overall amazing experience. The nurse in particular was extremely responsive to phone or email communications and answered many questions. I am happy with my scar my implants and the size and shape and appearance. The only feedback I have is, go with your gut on size. I was encouraged to go up a size as I was torn. But subsequently down graded my size. Which I am happy I did. But I understand that MOST patients do have boob greed. I advised wish goals were C or small D. I ended up choosing the smallest of the three sizes recommended. Last feedback, they take your patient history in the waiting room. At the time no one else was there. But I do think this should conversation should be done in a private room. And lastly, I would have preferred to pay via credit card to get air miles points, but they charge a fee to use credit card. Was a little turned off by that fee given the amount of money spent. Overall very pleased and happy I went with a top skilled extremely experienced and professional surgeon. Would absolutely recommend Dr. Edelstein.

I've been having the same problem with determining size. I went in thinking 350cc but when he measured me said that the implant width would be too wide for me. So going with 325cc. I don't want to be huge either. I want to be fuller but don't want the "boob job" look I guess.
Such a hard choice to make!!!

i ended up choosing the 350 mod, finally! And i feel peaceful about the decision. I just want some breasts and to look natural. I personally am not looking for really out there boobs.

I had the same dilemma when I first went in for my consultation a year ago. I started out looking at 350-375cc and I ended up with 400 and 425cc lol I feared the whole looking top heavy and fake boob look I'm only 5'1 and weigh 125 and honestly I love my results. The sizes are going to look huge because they are obviously not under your muscle yet. Don't let the cc's scare you. Feel free to check out my story :)

So glad you decided on a size! It seems as though a lot of people go through that, including myself (I'm going in February). It seems though from your wish pictures that you picked a good size. Good luck and looking forward to reading about your results!

I think u should go with 385cc, i wish i could have gone bigger with mine, when i did the sizer i love how 350 looks, and in order to get the same look u have to get my ba over musle, i got my done under muscle which when u do under muscle BA ur boobs will look a lil smaller than when u try on the sizer, beacause our muscle kinda compress our implants, in other word is 350cc will look like 325cc once it under muscle. I hope this is clear lol...sorry

I think your boobs look amazing! :) (though my opinion doesn't matter - it's how you feel about your own body)

Decided on a Size

So after speaking to close friends about my size who had implants (all under 350cc), i called the nurse and told her to order 345cc mod instead of the 386. I also noticed that Steph Pacca has 350 mod and has a similar look to what im looking for. Only excited now and not too nervous! a few more weeks until surgery!

Hiya! I will be following your journey! Who's your PS? Mine was Dr Jugenberg. I had my BA 1 week ago. But very small so I can't relate to the 350 CCs. You neeed to make rice sizers and show us pics;-). I learned formula to making rice sizers here on RS. Specific measures of rice in nylons to be inserted into a sports bra to give you very precise sizing of CCs:)
RS is a LIFE saver!! You can follow some of the amazing women whom I chat with under my profile. You will gain so much info here:)!

Deciding on size is the WORST! Well for me it was lol. I was going back and forth on the same ones as you...however I had 415cc thrown in to the mix as well. Before my consult I was set at getting roughly 350cc moderate, so I was so excited when I found out the 345 moderate was one of my options.....but after about 3 weeks of mentally torturing myself, I ended up deciding on 415cc full. It is a stressful time confirming size but once you decide it feels like a weight has been lifted and then you can just focus on being excited for the surgery!! Who is your PS? Good luck!
