All my life I have had little to no breasts. At 35 years old, I finally decided to take the plunge and get breast implants. I was set on anatomical, since I wanted a very natural look. I had my consultation last week on Oct 13, and booked my BA for Nov 23. I told my PS I don't want to go too big, like a full B and he suggested 280cc moderate profile and no less than 250cc. After a lot of research and reading, it seemed like 280cc would bring me into a C/D and I was getting worried it would be too big and make me look top heavy. A few of my gf's told me I should be getting at least 350cc, but I paid no attention because I really don't have any boob greed. My main goal is to just at least be able to fill out a normal bathing suit and wear backless shirts without a bra. I'm a bit curvy, so I also wanted my top half to match my bottom half. I still have over a month before my surgery and can change the size about 2 weeks prior. So, I'm still doing lots of reading and looking at comparable pictures. I read a review from a girl on here who has similar stats as me and got the same 280cc anatomical implant done and I absolutely love how hers turned out. I uploaded her pics, but hopefully she doesn't mind. If so, just let me know and I'll remove them. I will post my own pre-op pics soon. If anyone has any advice or thoughts, I'd love to hear them. I'm extremely nervous.

Glad you're not listening to your girlfriends about implant sizes. Each woman's body is unique so if you and your doctor know the look you are seeking, you'll be fine. Here is a link to a forum for women seeking smaller than average implant sizes. Just don't want you to feel alone. You might also enjoy November 2016 breast augmentation surgery forum too!

Don't be nervous!! Hope for you to achieve the results you want! See my review i got anatomical Natrelle 410 style, 290ccs to one and 315ccs to my other. To my preop photos you will see i had no boobs at all, and anisomastia. When my doctor took my measurements he told me that he couldnt go as big as i had to my mind (350ccs i liked too much from the results i had seen to realself) he suggested anatomical and i trusted my doctor to do what he thinks that is the Best for me as an expert. I am 10 Days post op i feel good, also no pain(only back pain) , i saw my doctor today and he told me that i look very good for 10 Days post. I like the shape of my breasts but i cant Wait to Drop and soft and See How i Will look. Trust your doctor and by taking your measurements i think you know what is the Best for you. :) :) :)

Thanks! Your results look great. I just had mine done yesterday, but can't see what they look like yet, since my doctor said I can't take anything off until I see him again on Monday. Hoping I like the size and shape, like you do. Good luck with your recovery!

Hi! Congrats on your new boobies:) We have the same stats, and I'm also going for 300 anatomicals. Just wondering if you went under or over the muscle? I will follow your review closely. Hope you are healing well:)

Hi! Thanks, I'm feeling pretty good after day 5! I went under the muscle. I forgot exactly why, but I think it's the preferred choice for ppl with little breast tissue. Good luck with your upcoming BA. I look forward to seeing your results!

Help! Undecided on implant type...

So I've been reading lots of reviews and chat forums about sizing and type of implant. I've also looked at several boob pics. After my first consult, I was unsure about the size my PS suggested and thought 280's would be too big for me. I was also dead set on getting anatomical ones because I wanted a natural shape and my gf has them and I love how they look. Now, I think 280's will be fine on me, but I'm unsure if I should get anatomical ones. A few things I've read about anatomical that has me got me leaning towards round ones are, the shifting possibility (even though I know it's not very common), the feel of them (they have to maintain a certain shape so they're not as soft as round ones), and there's a higher possibility of rippling, since they are textured. A lot of wish boob pics I've seen online are from people who have round implants as well. My PS did mention that because of gravity, the round implant will still have a slight slope when standing.
Does anyone have any advice or comments between round and anatomical and how did they decide between the two?

Hi! The shifting possibility alone worries me with anatomical implants. I personally think it'd be better to allow the implant to take the shape of your natural breast than to try to force it the other way around. Good luck with your BA... mine is just 6 days before yours!!! Exciting!!!

I have very little to no breast, so my shape is pretty much non existent, lol. Thanks for the comment, still 4.5 weeks out, so plenty of time to do more research and confuse myself even more, haha. Good luck with your BA too. I'm so nervous, at this point, sometimes I just want to get it over with.

I feel the exact same way! I've been tempted to call and ask if they could take me sooner before I drive myself crazy. But i have so much to get done at work and home before I can have a peaceful recovery; it's just not possible. Websites like this, YouTube and google are a blessing and a curse... They provide a wealth of info but, bring about a million more questions.

Hi there! I just got exactly the same as you're thinking--280cc shaped implants. I'm 5'4" and 115, was 34A and post-op full B/small C. I went back and forth so many time between round or shaped. I wasn't worried about rotation bc it is extremely rare, esp if your PS is experienced and comfortable using it. The issue was firmness. I got to feel both at my PS's, and while shaped is firmer it wasn't substantial. I was on the fence but my PS recommended shaped. My goal was a natural slope with no round upper fullness. So when it came down to natural look v feel... well I don't imagine a lot of people will be squeezing my boobs anyway. I'm very happy with my results! only1genesis's comment is accurate about anatomical implants shaping the breast and the round taking the shape of the breasts. I had hardly any breast tissue to start with and shaped was more predictable, but who knows, I've seen amazing natural looking results with round as well : ) Best of luck with your decision!

Thanks for the comment. I barely have any breast tissue as well and that's why I originally chose anatomical. But it started confusing me even more when I started seeing people with very natural sloped breasts with round implants.

I had my ba 3 weeks ago. I started as a 32a, am 5'3 and 115#. I went with 400cc smooth round hp mentor implants. There are days I feel like I went too big, but I get used to them more each day. Granted I'm only 3 weeks post op and still have quite a bit of d&f to go. I hadn't tried on a bra since my surgery...just been continuously wearing these granny looking post ops since. I did go to the store the other day and couldn't find anything other than an a in a 32 band size. I grabbed a 34c and 34dd (store didn't have 34d that I could find). The 34c fit fine, but I know since I still am riding high, they may fill out the bottom more as time goes by. The 34dd had some room in it but wasn't like I was swimming in it either. I went to kohls to try to get a 34d....they don't carry that size :( I ended up ordering 3 from Macy's in 34d but didn't want to go overboard incase they don't fit or if the size changes. I know you don't want as big as I did, but you can always take a look at my progress in the mean time. And your ba is scheduled for my bday too! Lol! Best wishes on your journey!

Honestly, 400cc does sound big but I don't think they look too big on you at all. They are really starting to d&f nicely and looking very natural on you! My gf is super skinny and got around 350cc and now she wished she went to 450cc, lol. The boob greed is real, haha! Well, I didn't think they looked too big on her either. I thought about getting a slightly bigger size, but decided to stick with the 280's since I really didn't want anyone in my family or at work to know, so trying to keep it as subtle looking as possible but also want a decent size boob :)

I had considered anatomical implants, but my surgeon preferred round. I am glad that I went with his recommendation. I think that I would not have liked the firmer feel of the anatomical. I'm 8weeks postop and my implants have softened significantly, but they're definitely firmer than natural breast tissue.
Pre surgery I was a 34B & now I am a 34DD. I had to 295cc smooth Round silicone. 5'6" 138 lbs. Final results were bigger than I was expecting, but I have gotten used to them and am very happy! Best of luck to you.

My doctor's office just called me today to confirm my appointment time for next week and I can't believe it's only a week away...eeek!!! I'm getting super nervous, yet excited at the same time. I'm really nervous about the surgery, recovery, how they will look and also how they will feel after. I decided to go with anatomical because I felt that the shape was more important to me, than how they feel. Although I know you can get great, natural results with round implants, I really didn't want to take the chance, considering how little breast tissue I have to begin with.
A gf of mine had her anatomical implants done back in 2009 and hers felt pretty firm. Granted, she has less breast tissue than me, and she also got a much smaller implant as well, so maybe that contributed to the "firmness" of the implant.? This was also about 6-7 years ago, so maybe the anatomical ones are made to feel better now? I don't know. My surgeon ordered me the Natrelle 410's and I read that they were only released a few years ago. I'm really hoping that they're not as firm as my gf's and that I get a beautiful shape to my breasts and a good jiggle to them, like I've seen on some girls here.
