how did you choose your implant size?



Recommended Posts

This stresses me more then anything - like, I want to look GOOD but I don't want to have my boobs become the thing everybody notices about me first. I want to have a nice overall figure, not like someone who had implants.

Only reason i am getting implants is because with the weight loss, I am pretty much left with skin. The lift will remove some excess skin and then I will be like an A cup...lol

anyway, I intend to tell the good doctor Sauceda that I want full Cs/small Ds, but my fear is that I wind up with something I am not comfortable with. It is not an exact science since even bras are all sized differently....

I spoke to a sleever from 09' and she is getting a lift done that will move the last bit of fat left from her underarms to fill the outer cup line, and apparently is going to have a B cup with just a lift.

I think at this time I would be OK with an A. I have had big boobs all my life, no matter what size I was and they never gave me anything but a collar bone/backache, lol.

This was one thing that I found little info about. I was the same just wanting to look normal like I was before kids, weight gain and weight loss. I sd to Dr S that I wanted a large C/small D. He gave me a t-shirt and then plastic sizers to put under to be able to see what they would look like. I tried 240 cc to 300cc. I decided I liked the look of the size 260cc as it looked more natural for me.

Now in stating that the actual cc amount he puts in depends on the width of your chest and what will fit in the pocket area. As I have a smaller area I actually only received 240cc but it looks like the 260cc did. Drs will help you with the decisions as well. In saying that after surgery I wish I had went just a little bigger (but I'm not sure if it was bc I was swollen everywhere which made them look smaller than I thought. Now I am completely happy with the size)

Hope that helps.

I had implants done, 10 years ago, and had 480ccs, for a full D. My doctor said he did more re-dos of women that hadn't gone big enough. I have never regretted my size and LOVE my breasts!!!! Good luck!

I have the opposite problem, but if I were in your shoes, I would go with a B or C cup based on what you said your body type is. If you are an A now a C is going to be big and a D feel huge. Plus, the closer you go to your natural size, the more natural it looks and people probably won't notice that much ("wow, you look good, did you lose more weight" vs " woah, BOOBS!")

I live in So Cal...land of breast augmentations, and the people I know who have had them done all tried different size implants in their bras prior to making decision...see what looks best to you :-)

I wear a 36C bra but some of them are too big so I am a B/C. I intend to shoot for C/D range. I did try on the sizers and still felt "unsure " but I wound up picking about 300cc at my local surgeon consult

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
