Keep thinking i should have went bigger

Nutella066 · 09-13-2009, 09:55 PM

Ok so I was about a 34/36 A prior to breast augmentation. I was scared to go too big bc i didnt want to be all "boob". i didnt want to shock family or be throwing them in everyones face. i wanted to fill out cloting better, look better in bathing suits and make my husband happier haha. soooo at my pre-op we decided 350. i started freaking myself out up till the day of surgery thinking that it was goig to be too big. I told my ps the day of surgery that I was unsure still, that at first i was comfortable around 300/325 but then i tried on 350 and thought it looked good and not to big but meanwhile i started freaking theyll be too big and that i want to be c and not a d. so he said he'll see when he actually goes in to do the surgery what works well.

when i got out the nurse said they did 325 bc when they put the 350 in it sat very high and she didnt htink thats what i wanted.
now of course im thinking i hsould have just stuck to the 350 at least.

question: really how big of a differce do you think 25CC would have made in my look?
and also i always heard taht they get smaller bc the swelling goes down. on this forum is the first time im actually hearing they get bigger and look bigger with time (yay)
thoughtS? anybody of pics of similar sizes and how they settled?

im 5'7
145 pounds

Congrats on your breast augmentation! 25cc's would deff NOT make a difference in your appearance. Your going through something we all do afterwards. I was IN LOVE with my boobs for the first week, then after that the sweelling went down and I thought my boobs looked smaller. Everyone is saying its just me. I kept thinking...i should have stuck to my 500ccs. We all go through a little bit of the boobie blues afterward....completely normal!!!
I got 450cc HP silicone and they look completely natural...with a hint of fakness (just what I wanted)!!

Give it time and you will come to LOVE THEM!!!

I feel the same way. I was going to get 400 cc, but the nurse was kinda like "thats really kinda big if thats your prerogative". And my PS would've given me 400 cc, but he did say 375 would've taken me to what I wanted (A full C small D). So I went with 375cc.

But now almost two weeks after surgery im kicking myself for not going bigger!! But it is only 25cc. And we have to remember practically EVERYONE has the same feeling after surgery. At least everyone I talk to.

Hi, I am 5'6 1/2" and about 140 lbs. I went with 450cc's HP mentor memory gel. I believe that I will end up a D. I have been told by everyone that they get bigger when they d&f. I can totally relate to what you went thru, though. My PS wanted to do 500 on me, but I told him 450. I was so afraid of them being eye popping big just like you.

firmandhappy · 09-14-2009, 10:29 AM

Give it time. I am 425HP and for the last 5 weeks I wished I had gone larger. I have now done the reverse and am glad he gave me this size implant. As I d&f I am getting bigger and am now in a DDD/E/F depending on the bra. Your D or DD will look like a C in a bra. I know you will love your results.

Sparkie · 09-14-2009, 10:50 AM

i'm almost your same size, and i told my PS i wanted NO MORE than 400cc in the smaller breast, and only 375 in the smaller. he ended up going 50cc more in each and i'm SO glad he did. it helps me w/ the boobie greed as he did go larger than i had expressed but luckily for him i'm happy w/ the results. it think the extra 25cc helps w/ slight fullness but it's really nothing significant.

It's funny you say this, I'm going through this right now. Just entering my 2nd week and all of my swelling has gone down. Although I LOVE that I actually have boobs I'm worried they aren't big enough. I'm hoping that once I d&f that they will get slightly bigger and I will fall in love with them again.

kasey · 09-14-2009, 10:02 PM

I got 325 grams, I think that's about 332 ccs, anyways, I was a small b cup, and I recently fit into a 34d bra, three weeks post op. But I too got the boobie blues.. now I wish I got 34dd.. i think with the right bra on, it makes a big difference..

happymama · 09-15-2009, 01:23 PM

Dang those numbers! Sometimes I think we'd be better off if we just didn't know the numbers. I LOVE JBI and have learned SO much and felt the support and love, but if I hadn't been here so much I think I wouldn't be so picky about my implant size and how I look and how bras fit and cup sizes, etc. LOL! The waiting game for final results is hard, but I'm sure you're going to love your boobies when they're all dropped and fluffed!

Every once in a while I have to go look at my "before" pics to be very thankful for my "afters"!!

This is true! The numbers are almost completely physiological when we start talking about the difference between 25 cc, but we still obsess over them.

I do not think 25cc would have made a really big diff probably I bet you look fantastic
