Lozz68 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Hey Girls, With 4 weeks to go now until my BA I am now really starting to freak out about the size! I have had two PS tell me that 435 is the biggest i can go but i'm worried this will be too small and would really love the option to go the next size up! Dr H in my consult told me that my bottom half would still be bigger than my top half with the 435cc however i would obviously look much more in proportion than i do now!! I think as i am quite tall that i could pull off a bigger size if it would only just fit!! I am tossing up whether to push the point with Dr H and ask him if he can try and fit it on the day (the next size i think would be 485 XHP), although i am concerned about the increased risk of double fold. HELP! what do you girls think - should i ask again and consider really pushing my measurements or just be happy with the 435s?? x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenJen Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I think you've got to weigh up the risk vs the reward Lozz, especially if you've gotten the same warning from two surgeons. 50cc's isn't really that much more - would you be willing to risk bottoming out etc? In any case, definitely have a chat to Dr H again with regards to measurements and what problems a larger implant could mean. You can always go back and get bigger ones after you've had kids Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 5, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Thanks JenJen - i think that is probably exactly what i needed to hear! Just going a little crazy with it all at the moment as its such as big deal! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JenJen Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 I can totally identify - even though I'm tall, my measurements don't allow for a huge implant (probably 380max) and EVERYONE keeps saying to me go bigger, go as big as you can! But I'm really interested in the long term viability of the implant - especially as I'm a very active person.. I just want great perky boobs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sandy77 Posted September 5, 2012 Report Share Posted September 5, 2012 Lozz, think Jenjen has a really good point there, your 21, you will def have to be re-done in next 10 plus years, I would go with what they recommend and go bigger once you've had kids, cause your so young if you need redone a few times you just go up gradually through the sizes, I would be worried how big you will end up by the time your 50 (i know thats along way away for you yet..) but bear it in mind...

Cozzie Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dr h also likes his girls to look natural - ishh . I have boobie greed but I think 360cc is my limit that he would allow me to go !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 JenJen and sandy 77 are right Lozz, you are still young and will have them re done at some point. I think you said stretchmarks were going to be a big concern for you and so couldn't go too big? A 435 size implant is not small, and even though you are tall, I think you will end up with good size boobs! If you have kids in the future your breast size will naturally increase during pregnancy and breast feeding and that in turn will stetch your skin again, giving you more room to then go for a bigger implant when you chose to have them re done after children. I too am still not 100% sure on size. I don't want to be too small and think I really should have pushed for bigger, but also I don't want to be too big and top heavy! I am seeing my PS one last time before surgery and will see what he thinks, he might say the larger of the 2 sizes I am looking at will just a little too big for me and so I will have to go with the smaller. Either way, I am going to be a lot happier than I am now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I dont want to be HUGE but i would like to be completely in proportion, if not a tiny bit top heavy!! I dont really want to look natural! i guess i am working my ass of at the moment trying to get into better shape so maybe that will help! I definitely dont want to risk any serious complications by deciding to go bigger but also dont want to just settle for the conservative side and be disappointed. i also dont want to have a revision before babies so if im unhappy with the size ill be stuck with them for a little while I think i will have to have another discussion with Dr H and just get him to tell me WHY i cant go bigger and i think that will help! im just being silly with my pre-op anxiety haha and i dont think JBI is helping at all - over in America they seem to go so much bigger in CCs then we do here! Thanks girls i really needed to be brought back down to earth and you are all so helpful doing that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cozzie Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Yeah I agree , I wouldn't go to big until you have had your children . Pregnant and breastfeeding really change a breast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Thanks Platinum! i think i am going to make another appointment with my PS instead of just emailing. Some days i think that 435 will be perfect, others i think wow they will be big and then days like today i think they will be too small! wayyyy too confusing haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BreastsToBe Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hey Lozz! All the advice from the other girls is great could you ask Dr H if he could order both sizes for you and at the time of your surgery, if it appears that the larger size is safe to be implanted, he could possibly do so? Definitely ask him as many questions as you need to in orde to be comfortable with your decision x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 B2B that is what i was hoping to do - if he had both of them there and tried to fit the bigger ones in and couldnt i think i would be happy enough that i definitely got the biggest that i safely could and that he tried! I dont wanna come out of surgery and find that i could have gone bigger! Dr H hasnt given me an option to go any bigger than 435 - he did try the bigger sizers on me to see how they would look but said that he thought they wouldnt fit and my options were 380cc and 435cc. I think i will ask him what the complications of going bigger could be and discuss it all with him but after sitting on it for a bit i think i will still be very happy with the 435s. no doubt i will keep changing my mind about sizes right up until the day! Im just being greedy and need to tell myself off for it lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ace80 Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 I definitely understand your dilemma, Lozz68! I have the same worry as only 165cm with an A cup, I always worry I can't go too big what I want to have a D, at least. What is your desire cup size? Did Dr.H tell you with 435cc, what size you can archive? The ladies have said it all, it is up to you to weight your 'wants" and risks. Please let us know the outcome of your consultation with Dr.H! I hope you could have bigger cc but without risking yourself with possible complication. Good Luck!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Dr H has told me that 435cc should get me to a DD, possibly an E. I dont really have a desired cup size as i am focusing more on the look i want (large-proportionate and fake/round)! as i have a small band size (8) a DD would probably be the smallest i would be happy with as i am currently wearing 8c (padded). I am not as stressed out as i was this morning about size - i think i will go home and try on my rice sizers again and probably send an email to Dr H with my concerns! I almost feel like i am annoying him with all the questions but i know its his job haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lizdexandivy Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi Lozz68, I used to have really big boobs, and while they werent pretty boobs (by any means) they were such a hassle! Buying clothes was A nightmare, and unless I wore skin tight tops, anything loose just made me look fat. I reckon conservative isn't such a bad perspective to have - boobie greed gets a bit of a hold on me sometimes, and I too like the less natural look, but for me I'll probably err on the more conservative side - I can't live in a bikini forever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 that is true - personally i think i would be more upset being a bit smaller than i want rather than a bit bigger ... Having said that!! i tried on the sizers again last night and think i will be happy with the 435s. will still probably talk it over with my PS but i dont want to risk any extra complications! the bigger size would probably put me into 8F territory and bras will be really hard to find! haha 4 weeks left of stressing - i will probably change my mind a couple more times before my surgery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 6, 2012 Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 You still have lots of time left to check with Dr H and make your final decision Lozz! That's good you thought the 435 sizers looked good when you tried them on again. I am sure you will make the right choice and get the look you want!

Lozz68 Posted September 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2012 thanks Platinum! Its just such a big decision isnt it? I think it is also difficult for me as so many people on this forum have had / are having <400cc! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I know it is such a hard decision to make! I am still choosing between 2 which are not really that different in size but it could make a big difference to what size I end up and how they look! I am trying to make up my mind ASAP which I will choose if both are approved by my PS next week so I can tell him to go with that particular one. I am still unsure if he will say the bigger one will be Ok for me or not, it's only 30cc's difference so I'm hoping it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oakley Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I would wait to try the tester implants on in the office and Dr. H will show you how each one will sit - nipple, cleavage, side boob. I found that the rice sizers I had weren't as accurate as I thought. He will definitely order the biggest size possible and see if it fits so I think you can feel safe and confident with his judgement Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you having Brazilian implants? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SelaV Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I wanted as big as would fit so my ps , he was also conscious of them not looking over the top, had two sizes in mind 410 and 470 and he said he would decide on the day , dependent on the size that he could make the pocket, and my crease was lowered quite a bit as well . Well as it happened the 470 wouldn't fit and he said the 410 was a tight fit. If its too tight it could put strain on the stitched incision and stretches the skin so much. My right one was a little smaller by not enough to have a diff size, consequently it was stretched more and has been much slower to heal and given me more pain and discomfort . It is still tight after five weeks odd and I think it will always be firmer feeling than the other. As the others have said , you will likely get them done after breast feeding etc and then you can go a size up as your skin will be able to cope. Mine are still biggish and I have broad shoulders , and a gap in between. I tried pretty underwires on yesterday, well I was looking for pretty, but it is hard to find much in the DD range that didn't look matronly lol. You are taller than me and slightly lighter , I am 69kg , 170cm , 435 sounds pretty good . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 I am worried about lack of pretty bras too if I go too big selaV! The bigger the bra the more matronly they do look unfortunately which is annoying. I think I will probably end up a DD max so that isn't as bad as having to find ones for an E+ I would think Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lozz68 Posted September 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 Oakley - I have been and tried on sizers at Dr H's office twice now - once in my original consultation and again just with the nurses. They are pretty similar to the sizers i have made at home i think. At the moment the Doc is having 380cc and 435cc ordered in for me but based on my current opinion i definitely dont want the 380s haha I have just emailed him with some pictures i like and asked him if i am able to get that size and asked him to tell me about the specific risks i would face going bigger than 435cc. since yesterday i do have my head screwed on a little better and think that 435 will be good - but just want to make sure haha aquabl00 - I did consider going with other surgeons who may do bigger but i know that Dr H has my own best interests in mind and i dont want to push my limits too much. Im sure that Dr Szalay or Dr Richardson could probably give me bigger but i dont think i would trust their judgement as much. It really comes down to trusting my surgeon to do the best job possible and for me that is Dr Harwood. I am definitely considering the difficulty im about to have with bras since i will probably be DD-E in and 8 band. :/ i have found a couple of pretty 8Es at BnT but dont know how they will fit until afterwards! Also went into Dimmeys yesterday to have a look at what they had - they had a number of DDs in 12+ bands but nothing that would have fit me unfortunately. Platinum - what are the sizes you are deciding between? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Platinum Posted September 7, 2012 Report Share Posted September 7, 2012 The 2 sizes I am choosing between are 385 and 415, both textured round full projection. The 415 are very slightly wider - just 2.5mm and 1mm more projection, but I could definately see a difference in appearance when I tried them on together, one on each breast at the same time. Writing down the very small change in width and profile makes me think that fitting them in won't be a problem when I check with my PS now, but I guess I will see next week for sure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
