A Little Embarrasing...implant - What Size?



Recommended Posts

I think a full C..small D is right where I want to be. Thank you so much all for your help!

Don't go too big. I want to get smaller implants myself. They look more natural. I am hoping to get my implants changed next year.

IMO, how natural an implant does or doesn't look or feel has more to do with the implant design itself than it's size.

The gummi/teardrop looks real in almost any size.

I had implants put in when I was thin and 35. I was a size AA and went to a C. I'm hippy so they fit my figure. You don't want to go too big as you have to consider the pull on your back too. Many women with overly large breasts have back problems because of them. I asked my plastic surgeon for his opinion and he had the same size idea I had. Mine looked really natural (Well if perky breasts can look natural on a 35 year old woman with 3 kids). I have since lost my boobs to breast cancer (implants too :( ). I wasn't able to have reconstructive surgery at the time because I was uninsured so I'll be looking into that as soon as I've lost my excess weight.

I have always been large! Pre-sleeve I was a 42DD. In high school a full C. I am now wearing a B when it really could be smaller but refused to buy an A cup! lol

Wow, I'm a 42 DD now and although I do like them, I felt much better (back pain wise) with a C. I can only pray for results like yours. If they get down to a B i will def need a lift!

My little sister has always been the skinny one, im talking size 0-2, a 4 on a bad day. 6yrs ago sh got a boob job and went from a A cup to a C cup. She is having them redone today to correct an issue with never damage from original surgeon and have the silicone removed and having the gummies put in. She is also going up to a full D.

Good imput on all this; but I have a different question. Just starting to look into breast surgery...since I have lost 85 lbs and am now at goal, my once full breasts (D cup) are pretty deflated. I look fine in clothes and even lingerie, but once the bra comes off it's sadly sag city. Do I get a breast reduction? Implants? I just need them to look natural and not like deflated balloons. I don't know what kind of surgery I need for this. I am so happy with the success of this surgery except for this part. Any ideas?

My plastic surgeon urged me to go one size larger and I'm glad I listened ! Now that I lost 55 lbs they look beautiful perfect and are a great size ! Ask your surgeon what size he suggests as he will follow your proportion

Queen of Crop...probably a reduction/lift where they use your own tissue to give you back your firmness and give them some perk. I think I may go that route if I eventually have plastics. I am still a 38DDD after losing nearly 100#, but they definately need "picking up" if you know what I mean.

I have the exact same issue - I see the plastic surgeon on Dec. 7 for my consult. I wonder if after they take the extra skin I will need implants!

Hi there It's all new! Will you let me know what happens when you see the surgeon on 7 Dec? I have asked for an appt too but haven't heard back yet. Would love to know what they say and how much this might cost. You can email me directly at queen@queenofcrop.com

How is the scarring with the lift? I'm concerned about that. There's no way in hell I will go back up to a ddd like I was 100lbs ago! I'd like to just use my own flesh and fat so that I never have to worry about having something removed down the line. (BUT the gummies are oh so appealing, and they offer them in MX where I will go again for my plastics)

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
