How accurate are rice boobs? - Page 2 - JustBreastImplants.com Forums - Breast Augmentation, Breast Implants, and Plastic Surgeons

TO me, they felt much bigger than what you really get. So what you like add to it.

simstar- you did the math backwards...you would need to ADD the 15% to get the right CC for the look you liked going UNDER. Multiply by 1.15 to get your number.

In general: One note that I have to make here is that it TOTALLY makes a difference if you tie the hose closer down...your 'projection' will be off. So what I liked when I did a 350 was very nearly identical to the 300s that I made because I tied the 300s tighter down the hose...they didn't 'spread' as much...didn't have as much 'give' to them.

Oh, and if anyone cares...instant rice is scratchy...use regular rice...it's softer on your skin.

Hey All...Could somone tell me how the rice test works...I am getting my BA on May 1st and my PS told me I should go with 350cc's. I am looking for a full C at the very least. My current stats are 5'6 120lbs and size 34A. I am definately going under the muscle. I haven't decided yet if I want to go silicone or saline. Could someone tell me how much rice I would need for 350cc's? I don't want to go too small and then have to go back and have this done. I want to make sure I have it right the first go around. Any help is greatly appreciated.

If you go to the link up top here "Size info", it will give you cups per cc's. I think I did 1 1/2 cups for 350 and 1 2/3 for 400.

Hi guys!

can you guys explain how this rice test works, I'd like to try it out. Thanks!

5318008 · 02-16-2007, 09:50 PM

cha-cha, see the info that Sparkle just provided above you. Get an old pair of panty hose, or knee highs...fill 'em up with the amount of rice you want, and tie them up. I used mine in a sports bra, and didn't wear my reg bra. I also made a couple diff't sizes to try.

(so if you are getting 360cc... then take 15% off 360cc which is 54cc which equals 306cc...so that will look like 306cc worth of rice)

Oh yeah.. and i did the rice test always in a sports bra... not a normal bra.

Now... Im really confused...

You ADD 15%? Or subtract 15% if youre getting unders?

If you do it with a bra and you put 400 in, then you would need to add 15% to that to get the same look with unders. So
somewhere around 460 would look the same as the 400cc you tried with the bra.

Ok.... OK.... I get it now. I dunno why I never thought of it before. haha. Thanks for your help ladies.

taylor27 · 02-17-2007, 03:29 PM

I don't feel like the rice test was accurate at all. I even put 15% less that what I actually wanted to accomodate for the fact that I have unders, but I feel like they looked twice the size when I had the rice boobs. I guess it's something about the way the rice sits on top of the tissue kind of akwardly, instead of being incorporated into your body like the implants are. I wish I had ended up the size I looked with the rice boobs, but sadly, the implants look much smaller.

But, I am getting unders, so that would mean, I would need to subtract 15%, which would only leave me with 276 something. Thats seems awfully small, no? So, what would you do? Go with the 350's- which would really be 300's? Um... am I making sense to anyone else but me... haha....

If you liked the 325's then that means you would need to ADD 15%, not subtract it. Subtracting refers to the volume of the sizers- so if you want 325 cc's, subtract 15% of 325 to see what size the sizers would be. Does that make sense? I hope so!

I think I get it now. I was really confusing myself. Thank you! I just suck at math, and numbers and stuff.
So- if I liked the 325's, I should go with an implant that is 15% more. SO- like-48.75 more. SO I would have to get 370 somethin inorder to achieve the look of the sizer. ?. Is that right?

Nic · 02-17-2007, 08:08 PM

Okay, so now that I've had my BA I can actually answer my own question! In my opinion the rice boobs were actually bigger then the implants. I'd made 360 and 410 rice boobs (less 10% for unders of course) and the 410s were HUGE- bigger then the look I wanted! I made my mind up about 5 minutes before surgery and decided to take a chance and just go with 410s (after hearing all your boobie greed stories), and they are not as big as the rice boobs made me. I'm very happy with the decision I made!

You got it!
FWIW, I liked the look of 350 rice boobs. I am going under. I figured my number would be somewhere around 1.15 times that...or ~ 400+/- My PS apparently has a lot of patients that don't do math, so when I started in on the 15% thing, she made me stop talking...probably because most people don't understand having to go higher because 15% will be 'lost' and she probably thought I would get confused.

I think I was pretty darned close...(I have a 50cc difference L-R), and am getting 360/420

My rice-test was successful, I think.
