So I've been reading other ladies' reviews and...
WORTH IT$5,450
So I've been reading other ladies' reviews and stories on this site for months now, and it's been so helpful in knowing what to expect when the big day comes. It's very reassuring to know that there are other women getting BAs out there! I'm 21, 5'1, and 90 lbs and my surgery date is November 1st (I'll be 22 then and eligible for silicone). With my petite size I've been really nervous about what size I should go, and with the rice sizers I think that 290-320 ccs is about the range that I want (but still worried about the boob envy!)
I had a consult with Dr. Case about two months ago and he was phenomenal! He seemed very knowledgeable about what would work with me and took a lot of time answering my questions and discussing my desired outcome. I wanted Sientra implants and he's the only PS who is certified to implant them in Tucson, so before I went I was pretty sure he would be my PS. We decided on 320, HP under the muscle, but I'm still unsure about size. I just wish I had more time with those sizers! My boyfriend was there and he kept saying it was too big, so I felt a little self conscious. Tip: bring someone objective!! Haha, but still, his opinion counts. I keep thinking 320 should be fine, but every time I put on the rice sizers my bf says it's too big, but I think you lose some ccs when you go under the muscle right? I dunno, I'm still worrying about it, haha.
Anyone have any tips about size on a petite figure? I had no idea it would be this difficult, haha.
Thanks, ladies!

The Size Thing
Wow, size is rough. I've been on this site for months now just looking at reviews and I think I've fallen into a sort of cosmic boobie hole, where I forgot that I want a BA for ME and that even though tons of other women have gone up to 600ccs and more, I need to stop comparing myself to everyone else.
So, after some careful thinking/soul searching/rice-sizing/whatever, I've decided that 285 would be too big and 245 is a little too small. With the type of implant I want, my choices are either 255 or 270. I get to try on sizers tomorrow (yayyyyy!!!), so hopefully I come to a decision!
Don't fall into the cosmic boobie hole, people! You can go as small as you wanna!
Does anyone else have a late October/early November date? I feel like I'm going to be waiting foreverrrr and I need some boobie buddies to count the days with :)
Lots of love and good vibes to those recovering!

My BA is oct 25:)) look at my frame , I am 120 lbs though 5"3.5 and I am not going lower than 375cc. Good luck with the sizers:)))
September 9, 2013
Thanks! You're gonna look awesome with 375! I can't believe your PS does local anesthesia, that is so cool. I want to watch so bad, haha. Just a couple more months for us!!
September 10, 2013
He has a YouTube video where he does local. It's up on my page:) take a look. It's cool cause we can talk throughout the procedure about sizes and stuff:)))
September 10, 2013
Go big or go home!!!! What outcome do you want??
September 12, 2013
Haha, I'm starting to think that way, too. I want to look like I have big boobs and I could've been born with them. Not fake, but not average, ya know? Are you still thinking around 375?
September 12, 2013
Actually now I m thinking 400 cc lol we ll see what he says at my preop. If he can't get them in there that's a problem!!!! But for 7500 he better get them in!!!!!
September 13, 2013
I just saw your PS's video! That is sooo cool. Your gonna have a really awesome unique BA!! I heard 25 ccs isn't too much of a difference, so I'm sure it'll be easy for him to get them in! ;)

I'm 5'9" ...obviously very tall. But I'm barely 120lbs. I'm basically a walking stick haha. Very slender and lanky. The coordinator at my PS did the 4d imaging on me and said 375 silicone up under the muscle would fit me perfect. I thought they looked HUGE and so did my mom (my boyfriend loved them). After going back and forth for a while I decided screw it, this lady has been doing it forever so in going to trust her judgement and let me tell you I'm glad I did. I'm only 4 days post op and I think the size I chose is perfect. Big enough to achieve nice cleavage but small enough to look natural and fit my frame when they drop. I would definitely advise you to think a little bigger in cc's so that you don't end up regretting going too small! Tell your PS your goals (for me it was to have nice full breasts that fit my slender frame without looking like water balloons) and let him/or her help make the decision. They know what they are talking about! Happy boob hunting!!
September 12, 2013
Your results look amazing!! Thanks for the advice, it's definitely swaying me :))
September 12, 2013
Thank you! And no problem! Everyone says go big or go home...I wouldn't exactly say that, but you're paying a lot of money for something and you should definitely make sure you're going to be 100% satisfied with your results!
September 12, 2013
Hey! I'm 5'2" and 100 lbs. Currently a small 32A. Having my BA on October 9th! Super excited! I have my pre op appointment on September 23rd so I'm not 100% about the size yet but in my consultation we talked about 250-300 like you. I go back and forth on the size. Definitely frustrating.. especially reading other girls getting like over 400. I think 275 looks good on me with my rice sizers but then I look online and think it might be too small! Ahh
September 12, 2013
That's so soon! Congrats!!
I definitely know what you mean! It's so frustrating!! And I went to try on the sizers at the PS's office again and they were nothing like the rice sizers. I thought I knew what I wanted, but I'm still confused. Excited, but confused. :)
Let me know how your pre-op goes and what you decide on! Being petite is difficult, haha.
September 13, 2013
hi I am 5 ft and about 95 lbs. I had mine done in July with Silicon, left 286cc and right 304cc. I know how easily you can get boobie envy on this site reading other women getting much bigger implants. I am glad you keep clear minded that it's not all about size but also how it looks nice and proportional to your body. We are so petite we don't want to look like too top heavy. I am very happy with my size now :) Best luck!!
September 13, 2013
Thank you so much for the encouragement! Yours was one of the first reviews I saw on this site and I was trying to find it actually since we're both petite, haha. Your cleavage is awesome!!
Would you mind if I use one of your pictures as a wish pic for my PS?
September 13, 2013
Thank you sweetie for the compliment! I am very flattered :) Yes you can use my pic as a wish pic. Keep us all posted and look forward to seeing the new you soon!

Good luck on your upcoming surgery!! Its an amazing experience! Best Wishes!

Picking the size was by far the most difficult part about this whole process for me. I agree with what you say about picking the size that works best for you and not get caught up in the whole "everyone is going bigger" mind set. The first thing I did when I woke up was look down and even though my vision was blurry I just felt this overwhelming relief that they weren't to big. :)
September 27, 2013
Aww, that's so good to hear! I was really worried about it but I kind of realized I'm going to be bigger than before either way, so it's not something I should worry about too much. Your 325s look perfect, though! You're taller than me, so I'm hoping I get similar proportions with 270. Thanks for the support, :)
