Vixen CC size Quandry

thevixen · 11-30-2006, 01:11 PM

Hi Ladies~
So, yesterday I had my pre-op and put on the sizers. I was given a 300cc and a 350cc. I liked the way the 300cc looked in the sports bra, but was afraid that they'd be too small under the muscle. The girl didn't talk to me about overfilling and I didn't bring it up. The doctor had talked about 300cc overfilled to 330cc during our consult. I ended up going with the 350cc because I know that they will be smaller under the muscle. Right? I called the office this morning because now I'm worried that the 350cc will be too big and maybe I should go with the 300cc overfilled to 330cc like the doctor talked about. I'm afraid that if the dr. overfills the 350cc then I'd be taken too big. The girl on the phone said that really that there isn't that much of a difference (350 - 330 is only 20cc difference) and that I can tell the dr not to do any overfilling the day of the surgery.

I've done the rice test at 325cc of rice. I think that this is a good size for me. Not too big and not too small.

I am getting more confused each day.

I would like to in the C cup range. I am currently a 34A.

Any words of advice or pearls of wisdom are welcomed.

I was bearly an A before my breast augmentation 10 days ago and I went with 400cc. My swelling is down and they have dropped very nicely (the PS said I am healing in record time!) and am just slightly overfilling a 34C. I really need a 32D but those are hard to find in non-padded, wire-free styles. I was afraid that I had gone too big at first - but now they look just right (I am 5'6", 110lbs). I can totally see how booby greed can bet the better of you! Good luck on your decision - but I say go for the 350s!!!

Suprmama,
Thanks for sharing! I am about your size: 5'6"/ 117lb and I am going with 450's- hoping for a full C/ small D cup. When I went in for my consult I thought I wanted 350's due to the rice test. The nurse said 90% of their patients think they went too small 3 months down the road. She then gave me sizers and didn't tell me how many cc;s they were- just had to pick the ones I liked best. I picked the 420's!!! (I was shocked!) So, we are going with 450's because I am also getting unders and the PS said 450's will give me the 420 look.

Vixen- I would go with the larger size.

My PS also said that 30 cc's would take care of the "smashing" that your muscles do. IMHO I don't think 20 cc's is going to make that big of a difference. But if you are really uncomfortable about it, you should definatley mention it. 20 cc's isn't that much, but I can see your point when you think of what you originally asked for compared to the "fill size". That is a total of a 50cc's difference! I would make sure your PS is on the same page with you on what your want your outcome to be. When in doubt ask more questions. This is a big decision and you should do everything to make sure you are going to be happy with your result. HTH

According to the rice test if you are going under the muscle you should add on 15% to what you like in the rice boobs to what you should get. (if you are not going under the muscle then there is no need to add the 15% on)- please note that this is not an accurate science though.

I am getting 410cc, which in rice boobs is about 350cc. (i'm 5'7, 130lb and starting with 12AA- this is going to get me to a full C apparently- fingers crossed). When i first started trying on implants in the PS's office i was like 'whoa these are huge' and would of liked any of them cos it was better than what i had but i got used to them pretty quickly and after speaking to plenty of girls who then got hit with the boobie greed monster i went for the largest i could possibly get (410cc)

So if you are going to go under the muscle- go BIGGER!! (remember the 15%)
