breast augmentation and BL but wondering about the right amount of ccs

[nicolerhooper]

Hi ladies,
this is my first posthttp://www.justbreastimplants.com/forum/images/smilies/wave.gif, i absolutely love this forum. SOOO informative. i have tons of questions but the one that is keeping me up at night is the right amount of ccs.

i'm a 34D (victoria secret) and have a good amount of breast tissue. i'm just looking for that "perky/fake" look. i have BAD boob envy! you all look fab! my doctor told me if i go too small (360cc) the implant could get "lost" in my breast tissue. but i enjoy jogging and can't see myself in a DDD. i"m thinking a cool 420cc, what do you think?

anyone one of you ladies out there that have the same problem? what were your outcomes like?

Hey there! I started as a 36B, also with a bit of breast tissue, in fact I had a lift as well. I got 400cc in one and 425cc in the other. I am just over 2 weeks out, and this morning I woke up and told my husband I think they are deflating!! Lol, not really, but the swelling is just finally going down. Anyways, I do wish I had a gone a bit bigger, even though I just got measured for a 36D bra the other day.

I think you would be happy going at least 450cc, especially since you are starting a bit bigger than I was. I guess I was nervous about going too big, but like most girls on here, I got some boobie envy. I'm like you though, in that I like to exercise and be active and didn't want too big of boobies. However, implants look smaller than real breasts, so a 36DD implant doesn't look like 36DD real breasts. Hope that helps.

I was a victory secret D cup before my breast augmentation/bl. I got 350cc & it didnt change my size. Then I got 550/600cc & I am still in my D cup but a very full round look. I can still wear my old bras. My boobs went from long saggy to round. If I can another set of implants because I wanted to be bigger & since I am taller 5'8 I would get 800-900cc next time. But at the same time my 550/600 are a nice addition to me. I love to run- but I wear a good sportsbra & the boobs are fine during exercise.

hey there i started out with a 34c breast and i also had quite a bit of breast tissue ofter having my first baby and breast feeding and all. I could have gotten a lift but i feel i am too young for all of those scars...i told my PS i wanted to go as big as i could so i wouldent have to get a lift, we did 600cc's over the muscle and i looked wonderful! it took me up to a 34dd and I still was able to work out and run like i wanted to with a good supporting bra. I now have had my second baby and im 3 years and a half post op and my son is 2 and a half ( yes my husband and i didnt waist no time we were pregnant within 1 month post op) and i will be needing a redo becuase of capsular contracture, and to me my 600's dont look like they used to i really like that XL perky look as well and i will be going 950cc's on my redo with a benelli (around the nipple) lift to avoid the verticle scar...i think you can definetley get away with going bigger and it will not get in the way of your lifestyle, it will look very good in my opinion...i hope this helps a bit.....

From what you are saying, go for 450HP at the least.

My stats are below. Feel free to FR to see pics.

A good thing to remember is 25CC's is a heaping tablespoon and a half. And if you are going under the muscle, you loose 50ccs approximately.

Hey...Well I guess that all depends on how BIG you want to go. I am currently a saggy 34B. I am going 340cc HP saline, under with lift, areola. I want to achieve a nice C cup but not look too fake. If I measured right...my rib cage is 32 1/2. I am 5'4" and weigh 120 lbs. I think I will be happy with 340cc. You're not alone thoug cause I had a hard time with the cc's myself. My daughter went with me when I tried them on so I took her advice as well. Good luck...I'm sure you will make the decision that's right for you.

Wish me luck!

This thread has been very reassuring for me. I am a 36D/38C and my surgeon recommended 450's. It kind of freaked me out at first, worried about being too big, but it sounds like he was right. Now it makes sense why I would need that size implant even though I have a good amount of breast tissue.

wow this thread has me freaked out.... my ps said maybe 400 but now thinking that wont be nearly enough since I am going under ...now being a D in VS and DD in other bras but not enough volume and skin though I do have breast tissue I am thinking this wont nearly be enough... and I dont want to already be thinking of a redo before my first breast augmentation!

I think I will email my PS this week and ask and talk to him again, I'd rather be too big than too little in the end.. I can handle big..lol

I started with a 34D and I was told to go with 420's. I'm 14 days out I cant wait to see what I end up with! I had a full anchor lift too.

I'm almost 2 weeks out and i'm nervous about my results. I had a BL/breast augmentation and went from 330cc's to 400cc's. I feel like they're huge and fake and that isn't what i wanted nor what i had before. So i'm super nervous. Curious on how they turn out. No more surgeries for me.

I went with 420's and started the same size as you. I currently fit into a 34G!
