I'm a tall woman. I weight about 162lbs. I tried on the sizers and i felt comfy with the 450cc silicone. i was happy with 450cc... until the surgeon said 500cc would be better because I'm tall and i have a wide back. I heard to go a little bigger, too, from other people because the implant will look smaller once it's inside of me (and under the muscle). I want to look "natural" and full but not like a stripper. I'm a big A / small B. I'm looking for a full C (and i won't be mad with a small D). Anyone else going (or went through) going bigger on the real thing than the sizers? LET ME KNOW! Replies WELCOME!!!

I am 5'9 and wanted only a full B I was a very small A cup before. I liked the 275 mod plus so went with 304cc. Because I also heard you loose cc's once they are in. The rice sizers I wore before surgery were pretty close to what I wanted. I am happy I added the little cc extra. I am very happy with my results. From what I have read, every 200cc adds a cup size for 36-38 band size. After surgery I was more like a 38 band because of swelling and bloating. My 36 bands were very tight. It took about a week and a half for all that bloating to subside. My 36's fit great now. I am still in my hook front sports bras and have not been sized yet. I think I succeeded with my full B. Good luck with your surgery.

Thanks for the comment. I'm going again on the 3/21 for the sizers. I'm hoping i can be set on a size and calm down already. Thanks for the good luck! :) 450-500. We'll see.

You can make your own rice sizes. It was kind of fun walking around with rice for a couple of weeks. I tried all kind of sizes.

Go with the 500cc. If your happy with 50ccs less (the 450s) because you loose CCs when u go behind the muscle.

You spoke too soon. Lol. I did that all day yesterday. I did 2cups = more or less 500cc. They looked pretty big, i'm sure they'll onviously look nicer/smaller once they're in. ;) THANKS!

Are you my twin?! No lie.... We have the same stats except I just turned 30. I go in for my final sizing this Thursday and my procedure is the 4/10. I was comfy with the 450cc sizers but am now thinking 550cc bc of what everyone says.. you wish you went bigger.

I am just over 6' and 180lbs. I was originally going with 500/550 and because of the 50cc's being lost after they're put in and after my ENDLESS searching and reviewing of other ladies... I found there were a lot of smaller women and lighter weights having 400 to 500cc's... My surgeon said the same thing that taller women can carry more. And I have some hips and a bum so I wanted the upper portion to balance out. I ended up going with 550/605 Natrelle Inspira high profile (he decided this during my operation and based on our final discussion before I went under) and I'm SO happy I did. Everyone who knows I had the surgery done says the sizing is perfect for my body! Go with you gut and remember the swelling sticks around for a while and you end up getting used to that! But I am so happy that the "dropping and fluffing" is happening and even after the swelling went down, I love the size.

20 Days Till Breast Aug

wonderwoman85March 5, 2015

20 days away!!! I'm excited and very thankful for the tips [on the rice sizers]. I've been using them at home. It's fun and my bf gets a kick out of it. Lol. I'm sticking with the 500cc. Like i've said... I'm TALL (5'11"). I don't want to get the 450cc and then regret not getting them bigger. My surgeon said that if i want the 450cc look, then go with the 500cc. He's the expert. :) wish me luck. I'll be posting pics soon. Any encouragment or experience stories WELCOME! I'm not as anxious... but still am. :)

Decided on 500cc! 15 days till BA!

wonderwoman85March 10, 2015
So after reading and talking to other women who've gotten BA... I decided to go with the 500cc. Moderate profile, too. I'm a [small] B cup and i would've be upset if i end up with big Ds. I figured... I'm paying for a difference in my breasts.... And the surgeon said if i wanted the "450 look" to go with the 500cc. I trust his work. I'm super excited! Been playing around with the rice sizers at home (2cups each sizer = +/- 500cc) and they look huge... But they're not inside of me nor under my muscle. 15 days and counting. I'll be posting pics soon.
