I am 5'4 and 110 lbs and currently wear a 32 a bra. I've had 2 consultations with my surgeon already and having the surgery in just a couple weeks ! I'm excited but nervous and, like many of you, am worried I chose the wrong size. After the breast exam my dr said that I couldn't go very big and recommended 250cc under muscle but I felt this was even too big when I tried on the sizers. I asked for a little smaller and we came up with 235 cc's (saline). I am a conservative, professional person and do not plan on telling anyone (aside from my boyfriend / best friend). Therefore, I did not want anything too obvious. I just want to feel more confident in my myself. I never let anyone, including my boyfriend, see me without a bra and generally feel self conscious in many tops. Anyone else have smaller implants or have a similar experience to me? Looking at photos it can be easy to jump to conclusions that I may have chosen the wrong size!

It sounds like you have a plan. : ) When I would get those thoughts post op of "should I have done this or that" which I think happens to all of us, I remind myself that an expert designed what the perfect breasts for "my body" should be. So I remind myself, I have designer breasts. LOL

I was in the exact same situation 9 months ago! I wanted a subtle enhancement and was torn between 230cc and 260cc. I went with my surgeon' s recommendation and I am so happy I did! Although the difference wouldn't have been that much, the 260 cc implants fill my breast pockets perfectly. I think you should go with the expert's advice. Good luck! Btw, who is your surgeon? I am from Toronto and went with Dr. Edelstein who is amazing!!!

I don't anticipate that the difference in cc's will be that much but I think I will tell my surgeon to go with his gut instinct and try the 250 cc's first to see how they look on me and reduce he cc's if necessary. Thank you guys for your support!! Just 10 days now

Choosing a size is so difficult! I went back and forth a few times, and ended up scheduling another appointment with my PS to finalize it. Hopefully bringing him some pictures will help. We are date twins - good luck next Friday!! :)

Yes it is!! Are you getting so excited?? I have an appointment tomorrow morning to finalize size. I think I'm more nervous about that than the actual surgery! ;)

I am excited! A little nervous too, of course ! I don't have another appointment with my PS as I'm hours outside of the city. This means I won't see him anymore until the day he is drawing those lines on me! Hopefully I picked the right size :/ good luck with your sizing appointment !! Be sure to let us all know how it went

Good luck girl! I was aiming for the small side as well, then with this wait, ended up with 300cc hps for tomorrow. Hope I'm making a good move! Can't wait to follow your journey and see your results!

Good luck to too girl! Please share your recovery info so I can follow your journey and results as well :)

9 days !
Well it's down to the single digits now- just 9 days until my BA! I'm so excited and nervous ! I'm getting everything prepared now and reading everyone else's prep lists. I find them really helpful! I wouldn't have thought to buy bendy straws, for example. Hopefully the recovery is smoothly. I do worry a little because a friend of mine had an awful recovery. But no pain , no gain I guess ! Words of encouragement are welcome ladies :) anyone who has gone through recovery , I would love to hear from you !!

Eek! You just made me realize we're in the single digits! I had my first boobie nightmare last night. I caught a glimpse of myself in the mirror and I was a small B cup (which is still a vast improvement for me, but not what I was going for!) I woke up and grabbed at my chest, revealed I hadn't had the surgery yet. I'm not having nightmares about the recovery (a legitimate concern) but about size. :) We're going to be fine!

July 30, 2014
Haha ! I have had dreams about the size too! Not the recovery. I think we will be fine too. We will get through it and be happy :) we will have to keep each other posted ! I'll be curious about your recovery too. We can compare notes !

Hi! I just recently got a BA with 255cc teardrop. I was wanting a very modest look (I'm 5'2 and 115lbs) and i think mine are too big. I'm only 12 days post and i'm not worried about shape, but i can already tell the size is much larger than i excepted. It's hard finding that many people asking for under 275-300cc. Going into it i was thinking i was getting pretty small implants and 225-250cc would get me a modest natural look. I knew the difference between the two is very minimal so either would be good. Now I'm thinking 200cc would've been just right.. maybe even less. I hope everything goes well for you!! Maybe my pictures can get you an idea of what 250 looks like. I hope it helps!! Good luck!

First off , thanks so much for all the photos and detail on your profile. It us helpful to know what to expect. I hope you are more pleased with your results when the swelling goes down ! I know it's easy to say as an outsider, but i really think you look great !! :)
August 2, 2014
Yay your next! Good luck and try and keep yor sanity this week while you wait!

August 3, 2014
Ahh I am next ! So soon ! I'm going to be documenting my experience as others who have done this have been so helpful to me :)

Just be sure you have a comfortable spot you can stay in.. and its always easier if you have someone to help you.. honestly nothing is painful. the only thing i found hard was lifting myself UP when i would be sitting.. we use a lot more muscles than we think.. lol :P other than that i never felt any pain and the pain i did have stopped after about 7 days.. i would do it again though.. because the confidence you get from having the implants is just amazing.. I'm so happy with my decision to get them and I'm sure you will too! All the best :) and take your time with deciding the size.. go with your gut, and don't worry too much about a few cc's.. 25 cc's is very small and almost unnoticeable.. so don't dwell on size too much. you will make the right decision for you :) You will do great and believe me once it's done you will be so happy :D

Thanks everyone for the support. I'm so glad I found this site because I feel I can share in the experience rather than go through it alone. I have lacked in self esteem for years and it had really impacted me on a day to day basis. I think I am realizing the extent of it more and more everyday now that I know this change is coming. I cannot wait to feel comfortable in my own skin . . . And to go swim suit shopping haha ! I'm nervous about the recovery but my boyfriend is amazing and will be helping me every step of the way! It seems some people are having more pain than others so hopefully I am one of the lucky ones to have less pain :) either way, no pain no gain is how I look at it at this point !
