Hi everyone! I want to share my story since everyone else's reviews have been so helpful to me! I am 26 years old, 5'6", 134lbs, 34 B, and my breast width is 13" and 13.3". I am on the thin side, but I have broad shoulders and a wider chest. Before my consultation, I thought I would end up with implants in the 275 to 320 range, but I didn't know that my breast width cannot accommodate implants in that volume range. I went back and forth about size because my goal is to have breasts that appear natural, fuller, and a cup size larger than they are now. I hope to be in the C cup range. At my first consultation with my doctor, he chose Mentor 340cc moderate profile. I tend to overthink everything, and I have spent hours and hours searching websites and gathering information on breast implant sizing. I went for a resizing appointment with one of the nurses and I ended up choosing 320cc instead. A week later, I realized that I wasn't comfortable with my choice because my doctor was not present to explain why 320cc would be better or worse for me, and he actually didn't mention 320cc being an option at the first consultation even though it matches my breast width. I went for a second resizing appointment two days ago, and I made sure he would be there to talk things over with me. He said that 320cc is too small, and he would not recommend that size to me unless I was a marathon runner (which I definitely am not). He suggested 340cc or 360cc. He said I should choose the bigger implant when in doubt, so we chose 360cc moderate profile. After that appointment, I thought about the size even more, and I decided that it is better for me to choose the smaller implant when in doubt because my biggest fear is going too big, rather than too small. So I called the office yesterday and switched my size, yet again, to the original choice, 340cc moderate silicone implant. I hope I am not the most annoying patient they have ever had. I know there is barely any difference between the three sizes of implants I chose, but I feel most comfortable with 340cc since I wanted a small increase in size, but enough for me to feel that going through the surgery was worth it. I want children in the future, and I know my breasts will become larger with pregnancy and breast feeding, and they might also deflate. If I need a revision in the future, I will have plenty of options to choose a bigger implant to fill the sagging skin, so I think the smaller implant now is better in the long run. My surgery is on Monday, so I am spending this week getting everything ready for my surgery. I will post some before pictures soon!

It sounds like you came to the perfect compromise on your implant size. The size fits you and you'll be comfortable with the size. Don't worry that it took you a few rounds to get to a confident decision...it's part of the process. ;) Did you decide on Mentor implants? Let us know how your nesting goes over the weekend. Looking forward to your pictures!

My implants are Mentor classic moderate profile silicone. They will be placed under the muscle.

I weigh less than I thought, so I'm actually 128lbs, not 134lbs. I wish I could edit my post.

I agree if you are planning on having kids. They will swell up HUGE and will deflate once the hormones subside. You don't want to have a large implant and then have your breasts swell to an F or larger! I also got bad stretch marks on my breasts from breastfeeding. I went from an A to a D then back to settle at a saggy B. If you get a bigger implant after having kids that will also help lessen chances of needing a breast lift.
