I am so confused! my surgery is in one week. I am about 5'8' and 122 pounds....a cup but don't completely fill it; I am currently an A cup I guess, but I don't fill an a cup completely. I went to pre op with my mind set that I wanted to be a full C; the doctor 1st put a 375 in my sports bra and was happy with that THAN he goes actually you can handle a 425, it will look good on you. He was pretty firm on telling me that a 425 would get me to a full c small d...but 425 to me seems HUGE and when I told friends and such they were like NO, THATS WAY TOO BIG. I don't want to be in the D range, I want to keep it in the C range. I don't want "Stripper boobs"...I want a very natural nice size set of boobs. I want pretty cleavage when i wear a bathing suit/dress but not so much that there isnt even space between my two boobs. My surgery is so soon and I am so confused. I decided on the 370 teardrop gummy bears when i left my second pre op appointment and now I'm think 350. I AM A VERY CONFUSED child right now. I don't know what to do and my mom is just as confused. As I look through millions and millions of pictures....some girls are very small a to almost flat and go to a C with just 300 but than others who are also almost completely flat go to almost a D with 300 also. Its so confusing and I have no idea what to choose. I just want a classy looking set of boobs. I don't want a par of boobs that fall out the sides of a bikini. I just want pretty cleavage.

It really just depends on your body measurements not just your cup size..I think I was measured at 11..maybe 11.4...but my dr was firm on 300-325 being my way max..I'm getting 300cc round textured HP sientra hummus next Friday!! That's the max my dr said I could get without getting side boob lol

My PS also gave me suggestions based solely on my measurements... I'm 125lbs and 5'5" and he is commending 325-375 with 375 being the most he is willing to put in to achieve my goals that are certainly very close to yours... if you don't want them to come up too high and don't want a side boob you may want to be somewhere between 300-350... your PS should have a chart that tells you what you should go for based on measurements... also it depends on the profile, if it's moderate the implant tends to be smaller perhaps 225-275. Discuss with your PS and be firm about your goals... good luck!

i'm learning so much new information on here. my PS never told me anything about different profiles and my surgery is in less than a week and i have to pick the implant out right before i go under (mind you i've have a pre op twice already to pick the implants...i left the 1st time with 425 picked out and after i went home and researched it and talked to friends i changed my mind in an instant and decided my new goal was 350....i go back and the nurse only tries 370 and 425(again) in my sports bra..so i left the second time undecided and now my third time will be right before surgery)

Even if u pick a size, it really won't be determined until your under the knife because that's when they'll know what they can work with. They usually take about 3 sizes in

I'd say stay between 350-375 do the rice test and see what you like!

Oh and I guess I should mention I'm 5'6 1115-120lb..and doing HP because if I was to go moderate I'd have to go to about 225cc because they would be too wide

Are you doing gummy bears? I'm confused as to what this moderate means, I keep seeing people say they got high profile or moderate or so on. I've never heard of those terms.

Your ps will tell you based on your measurement what would be best for your body . Because my frame and chest is small I went with hp it protrudes more . The moderate is flatter and rounder

Moderate is like a pancake, high is like a ball. Mod + is in between. But your going with sientra. So the size descriptions are different they have low, mod, high, instead of mod, mod+, high

I am 5'8 125lbs. I have Sientra silicone 375cc round high profile implants. I will end up with a B/C cup (personally I think choosing the is the hardest part) I got mine done yesterday so they are high and triangle but nice looking . I will post pic Friday as I am not aloud to take off bra till then. I didn't decide on size until day of surgery! I originally thought 325-350 then my Dr. & I decided 375cc I couldn't be happier!

I cant wait to see how they look when they drop in a few weeks !

Really?! Ahhh I'm so confused. I deff don't want to be in the d range...just nice C's. I wanna be very similar to the picture I posted up top of Natasha Oakley. I don't want my boobs falling out of the sides of a bikini and I want to see a space between the two, I don't want them so big that they're smooshed together and there's no space.

Wow, just looked at yours. They look like what I want to be. I just hope that if I go with the 370 that they're not bigger than yours. It's so confusing bc I look at pics all over the internet of women who did gummy bears 370cc and they went from a AAA To a DD and then there's other cases where women go from a AAA To a nice C...it's such a confusing decision and I have to make it the day of my surgery right before; so stressful. I can't wait to see more pics. I wanna see how they look in a bikini and a shirt.

I said the same thing to my Ps. No big gap, not touching each other. Nut some people are just natural built a certain way, with a wide breast bone or breasts that are close together. Implants will exaggerate however u already are.

thank you! I got mine on the 9th so they are a little swollen...I am excited to see when the begin to drop it can take 3 months for final size and shape. Lucky I got a size that fits my body so they are not as high as some woman. I think this is why I have light pain as well.

looking at that photo and seeing your current boobies I don't see why you couldn't have that. you have a nice shape to your breast now. I wouldn't go over a 350/375 or you will have big boobs.

Same as me. I had no pain. Just a little soreness on the sides which is in just one spot now, at my incisions which are numb now and my sternum which last 2 days

I've always had small breasts and I like it that way. Avg size in most women to me look big in myself. When I was breast feeding my daughter they were bigger than they are now. I hated it. I'm hoping they go down a little more. I always felt like the one who'd wished they'd gone smaller not bigger. And my before pics were then in nov. I was prob 29lbs heavier. I've list at least 10lbs in the past month.

I would advise you to pick the larger and don't look back. The difference is about a tablespoon. You are tall enough to handle that well and you won't regret picking the smaller size. It's still a relatively small implant for your height, even 375, in my opinion. I am super short, 100 lbs, and I fit in a 30A/B before. I got 225cc overs HP and now I am a 32D, but it looks very small. Check out my pics. Do not be scared of D's. These D's are not [RS bleep] star D's with the kind of implants they have nowadays. I can run and yoga with them just like when they were small. I even still use a push-up bra so it'll look like I have boobs!! Choose the larger. The difference between the 2 sizes is teeny tiny.

It looks great on you, and super natural! But I think it's a little bigger than what I'm looking for. I want a nice full boob but not ones that have no space between them when I wear a dress or bikini and I don't want them hanging out the sides of my bikini either. I just want pretty cleavage, nothing too crazy.
