Hi I'm 5ft5, 120 pounds & started off at 32b... you can check my pictures, I got 450cc high profile dual plane. They look huge in pictures but really they aren't that big

I had mine done on the 10th of October I was a 36b and I'm 5foot2 and have 360cc implants and only went up to a by one cup size so if I was you go with 400cc

Hi I am in the US and I weighed 118 day of surgery but typically I am 122 lbs. and I am 5'4 small framed. I got 400 cc's high profile under the muscle & I love them! I too was concerned about looking too big, but I also didn't want to look too small. I am so happy now at 19 days post op that I got 400 cc's! What I want to ask is why your Dr wants to go 'above' the muscle? I didn't have a lot of breast tissue to start with so if the implant wasn't below my muscle I feel like the 400 implant would look bigger & not look as natural as it could be if it were placed above the muscle. The size implant really should depend on the diameter of your breast bone. If I remember correctly my breast bone is 11 cm and the 400 high profile implant is 12 cm. My surgeon said the best rule of thumb is you can use an implant either 1 cm larger or smaller than your breast bone in order to get a more natural look otherwise if you go bigger than that you will have a more augmented look. (Which is totally fine if that is the look you want, that is a personal decision) Mine are still swollen obviously but they look better every day & I love them! (Will try to post pics)

Hi thanks for your comment. Looking good from your profile pic. Im glad you love them, they look great!
My surgeon said to go over as I have quite a thick chest muscle from working out and he says they look more natural if they are over. Just worried being over they will look big like you say.
I am going back next week to try the 400 again and take some of my own tops to try on so I can get a good feel for them :)
I'm excited but at the same time worrying a little.

If you really feel concerned about the 400's being to big then maybe 350 will be a better choice for you. Under my clothes they don't look that big, but without a bra they do look kinda big...not too big, but definitely bigger. I think this is due to having a smaller size frame. (And I'm not really used to it yet!) For me, I was leaning more towards wanting a bigger size versus a smaller size, but I didn't want to look totally augmented either. The first consultation I was told that 420 cc's would look good, but like you I was concerned about them being to big for me. When I was trying on the different sizes the assistant said if I liked how the 400's looked in my shirt, then I should get the 420's because under the muscle they would appear smaller once implanted. I ended up choosing a different surgeon (thankfully) The surgeon I chose disagreed with their theory and he explained when someone has have very little breast tissue to begin with, the size you see when trying implants on is pretty much the size they'll be regardless. He was right. I wanted to share my personal opinion regarding your decision regarding size and suggest that if running is a major as part of your daily work outs I would suggest to get the 350's. I hate running personally, I'm one of those goofy looking speed walkers :) And, I know I'm still healing and its only been 21 days but when I attempted to run for a brief minute to get to my car I did feel compelled to hold my chest for support. I'm sure it won't be as bad when I'm fully healed, but I could see how it would be uncomfortable even if I were to run for a long period of time unless I wore something super supportive. Just wanted to share that thought with you.

Hi, sorry it's taken a while to reply to you.
I went back and tried on the 400s for piece of mind. They looked great, and took my own clothes too. It's amazing how much better they fit. Only 3 days to go and I'll be having it done. Thanks for your feedback, very much appreciated :) xx

No worries..I have acclimated to mine and I absolutely love them! It has been 2 months and I couldn't be happier! My doctor also thought they looked so good that we took my post op pictures at my 6 week appointment instead of waiting until the 3 month mark.

That's really good!! Very pleased for you :) I think it takes a while to adjust after not having anything there!!

Hi ladies,
Thought I'd do a blog for those of you who are looking to getting a BA or are having one and are undecided what to go for.
So my stats are, 5 foot 4, 55kg, quite small top half, small waiste, big hips.
I'm very much into my fitness, running, weights and spinning, I do something at least every day.
So yesterday was the day I got my implants.
I went with the Harley Medical Group in Birmingham who have been great throughout the whole process.
I was told to get to the hospital for 12.30 on my email a few days before, but as it happened they rang me yesterday morning and asked to get there for 11.30. They operate in Preston or London, I decided Preston as it's closer to me (1 hour drive mind :( )
Got to the hospital, got settled in my room, had to take a urine sample and get changed into very fetching paper pants and a gown and robe and some stockings, the nurse said these are to be worn until I am mobile after the op.
Another nurse came in, asked questions, ie when I last eaten, if I had any jewellery, piercings, fillings etc. Then I had my blood pressure and temperature taken.
My surgeon came in, I had Gopel Madehev, he is so lovely, I would full recommended. He shook my hand then gave me a hug as I was so nervous. He drew on me, and my husband joked does he sign his work so he put his signature on me!
The anethetist came to see me and explained he'll put an IV in my hand and then I'll be out.
This is my first ever op, I had been nervous for days, to the point of tears and I can promise it is not at all bad.
A man nurse came to take me down to the theatre at 12.30, he knew I was nervous and put his arm around me on the way which I thought was very sweet.
I got onto the bed, the iv got put into my hand, I had a mask over my face breathed in a couple of times and then woke up in recovery. All done in less than 45 mins. I went in at 1 and was out by just before 1.45 and back in my room my 2.10.
I was so sleepy and light headed. I felt like I couldn't breathe very well as it is so tight.
I managed to drink lots of water and have a some toast and a wee by about 3.30.
My face was so itchy, the nurse said this was to do with the morphine.
I had some codeine at 3 to help the pain.
We left the hospital about 5 ish and got home for 8. I took some Ibroprofen as soon as I got in. And then before I went to sleep about 11 I had codine and some for of antibiotic.
I will update you on today's progress later on. But so far I'm a very sore, it feel's like I've done 1000 press ups every day for a week haha.
Sorry for the long blog, trying to get in as much detail as I can for you!!

So yesterday was hard, very sore, tight and swollen.
Had a funny turn after I had a bit of a bath from middle down. Felt sick and light headed but was OK after five min's or so. I also keep going shivery and my teeth clatter together which isn't very nice. Kept up with the meds, slept on the sofa quite well, my husband went out for his Xmas meal so I went up to my sister's for babysitting lol.
Felt stiff by the time I left hers, took my antibiotic's and slept all night.
Woke up this morning in so much pain, took my antibiotics and codeine and had a little sleep, felt a bit better when I woke back up. Had another rubbish wash and washed my hair.
Managed to do my make up and put on my surgical socks.
Had a little walk round the supermarket and went to see the in laws for an hour. Got back home and just fell asleep on the sofa for two hours. Proper took it out of me.
I haven't moved much since or took anymore painkillers since 4.30 (it's now 9.15) so it is most definitely easing off.
Still not much of an appetite and my stomach is quite bloated.
I'll update in another couple of day's.
Merry Christmas everyone!!

I'm your same height and 56 kg.
Last year I had a revision to my small implants (200cc). Which had intracapsular rupture after many years of no problem.
I needed to change them but my surgeon gave me high profile 350 cc under the muscle.
I didn't really want large breasts but he thought it would look better.
Now I'm dealing with breasts that don't match my small frame!!
Looks matronly. And I have needed to buy clothing now which hides my breasts.
So don't go too big.
