    Default need some advice on implants... increasing size?

    Hey ladies,

    So I am officially booked for August 28th... deposit down... train booked... super excited!

    But I'm having second thoughts about what I want size wise and type of implant now. After doing all my research, I decided I wanted to be two sizes bigger than what I am, so a C, and have them look very natural, so anatomical/teardrop implants. I was told if I wanted to be a C to go with a D because implants always look one size smaller than natural breasts.

    However, I recently went to buy a bra at VS and the sales lady was arguing with me about being an A so she measured me and I am actually a B. I tried on the Bs bras there and they fit better than the As I have.... I also picked up some new bras at Selfridges so it's not vanity sizing at VS. Now I'm wondering if a D will not be a big enough change, since will it really only be me increasing my bra size by one cup?

    I also am wondering if I should go with more high-profile implants because of my rib cage-- I have a very prominent rib cage that sticks out, you can always see all my rib bones when I wear a bikini. It's one of the reasons I want to get implants because it makes me look flatter. Here is a pic:

    I was reading somewhere that it's suggested to go with more high-profile implants to make them pop with a prominent rib cage?

    Always go bigger than you intended, trust me. Mine are phenomenal but I always wish for bigger ones.

    Victoria Secret sizing is not correct. They tell people they are a size bigger than they are. It is great for marketing! Try going to Nordstom or Neiman's (or something along those lines that is in the UK) and be fitted.

    ^I went to Selfridges and was told I'm a 32B as well as I said in my post.

    I know Tempest that's what everyone says! But I guess I just really want them to look natural and I feel like DDs on my frame won't!

    Hehe trust me when all is said and done they will. Consider swelling and placement. Are you doing unders?

    ^yeah pretty sure I'll have to because I don't have a ton of breast tissue, will that affect how natural they look?

    I'm wondering if anatomical/teardrop ones DD will look natural? Or if high profile Ds would look better?

    The thing about round vs anatomical that many women don't think about is that gravity essentially turns rounds into anatomicals. If you want more protection from unwanted upper pole fullness you can also do partial unders (which is what I have). Another thing to consider is that all anatomicals are form stable/"gummy bear" implants. This means they are the firmest of all implants. Add in the fact that they are always textured to prevent rotation, and you have very firm implants that don't move when you lay on your back. If I ever decide to spend time on my back for a living, I sure as hell will be grateful I went with smooth rounds!

    There's not as much wiggle room for sizing as you'd think if you want a natural result. Your surgeon has probably measured your breast width diameter and knows what the diameter of your implant should be. What you have control over is how far you want them to project. Essentially, you have three options. Given your concerns about your prominent ribcage, I would go with high profile. I was pretty set on mod +'s until my surgeon overnighted HPs right before my surgery. I told him to go with whatever he thought would look best because he's the expert, and he chose HP's. I am delighted he did. I also have a prominent ribcage and I think I would have been unhappy if I had less projection. Combined with the partial under placement, I'm shocked at how natural they're starting to look (I'll post more pictures soon).

    And for your main question, I'm grateful I asked for the look of a D (and thus a DD bra size) because a 32D is not that big. The sister size is a 34C. Initially I considered asking for the look of a full C, and freaked out before my surgery thinking I'd have crazy tits. I look like a small D which I'm happy for. I would be disappointed if I looked like a C. However, my hips and thighs are much bigger than yours so I needed more to be an hourglass.

    But this is a question only you can answer because only you know the difference between your anxieties and gut feelings. If you wanted a smaller size out of anxiety, go with the bigger. If you wanted it because you know in your gut that large implants aren't for you but are second guessing because everyone says you'll regret not going larger, don't. If you are TRULY undecided I would suggest going larger because probability will be on your side.

    Out of curiosity, how many cc's did you decide on?

    My bras (depending on brand) are either 34C or 32D and mine are really not big! So if you want big ones you might want to increase the size. I realise they look different on everyone but still.

    May I ask you where you are getting yours? (If in the UK as I am trying to find a good doctor for myself!)

    ^Brussels! I'm going with Beclinic, they have a website but I don't know if you can translate it from French, if you can read some French it's pretty easy to comprehend though. There's two surgeons there, Dr Plovier (who I'm going with) and a woman who I don't know anything about. He is the most recommended to me of all the PLs I've heard about in Europe, I haven't asked one girl who did her boobs and heard she got them done in the UK unfortunately... if you're interested in using him definitely contact in advance as I asked for an appointment in May and the end of August was the soonest available.

    Lol, thanks for all that info-- I didn't even know that about the anatomical ones, why do they have a reputation for being so much more natural if they're harder like that?? I'm seeing my surgeon early next week so I will definitely bring it up to him.

    With sizing, I really thought I was an A and therefore increasing 2 sizes would be perfect and I wouldn't be able to go with any more and still look natural, now I'm second guessing that since my boobs are actually bigger than I thought. I guess I also really don't want to be a DD because I just feel like I can't pull that off, but perhaps can a D!

    ^ I haven't gotten an exact quote yet because I haven't had my consult, I have to wait for him to fly out to London to see me, we've just been e-mailing back and forth. You don't have to pay the deposit before the consult if you don't want to, I just did because I HAVE to get them done at the end of August not to lose out on the fall season and the next appointment wasn't until October.

    The deposit is £500 and if you cancel 4 weeks before the surgery you get it back. I gave another £250 to book hotel, driver, and meds for afterwards. Implants start at £2600, I know round ones are a bit cheaper.

    Oh and for travel, I booked economy on Eurostar for £40 to get there and then went for first class on the way back since I know I'll be in pain, £100. This was booking almost 2 months in advance though.

    I have a very prominent rib cage and super-high profile round implants with sub pectoral placement that look very natural. Don't focus too much on cup size and focus more on the look you want. Because of your rib cage a DD on you will look very different to a DD on someone with a different frame. I took pics from Playboy to my PS to show him what i wanted to look like, i also did the rice test to estimate how many CCs i would need to give me my desired look and i was about right. My PS explained that the super high profile would compensate for my rib cage - so definitely go High Profile.

    If you wanted to be two cup sizes bigger based on how your tits actually look, just go for two cup sizes bigger! Bra sizes don't mean a thing. Everyone thinks women who wear 32B's are really 34A's anyway! Hell.. you're probably really a 30C or a 28D since you're so thin, but VS will never tell you that. And even if you are, men probably still look and think "34A!" because most women our size wear a bigger band and smaller cup than they should. So just forget about actual sizes and just tell the surgeon how many sizes bigger you want.

    And anatomicals got that reputation mostly through marketing. Most surgeons really hate them from what it seems, which is why I wound up dropping that idea entirely and going with rounds. Does your surgeon also do rounds?

    ^I guess what worries me is I've seen a lot of really skinny strippers with huge implants, assume DDs, and they look AWFUL. They didn't have enough skin tissue for the implants so not only do they look ridiculous on their frame, but their skin is stretched so much over the implants it just looks totally unnatural! I don't want people to look at me and think that I have implants, I really want a natural look.

    Ok, you are DEFINITELY going to want to go with a bigger size. I'm wearing a 32DD now, and even if I were thinner I think mine would look a bit smaller than those. I agree that it's a great look though! Make sure to show those exact pictures to your surgeon if you haven't already and he/she should know what to do.

    If you don't have much breast tissue now and you are a 32, I would think about something in the 450-500 range. Also, those pictures are probably more like mod+ and not high profile. I went with HP and 375 (32C before) and they are not near that size.

    If you truly want natural looking breasts then look at pics of natural breasts! I was sucked in by the stigma of 'natural' (though I thought only a little bit) and I wish I hadn't been. Do what you want to in your heart - 'natural' is just an adjective. Don't get stuck on it! the pics you added are beautiful but I wouldn't consider them "as found in nature". That doesn't make them less amazing, though!

    I didn't want to suggest a cc range because I don't know your exact measurements and I'm not a Dr, but 450 mod +'s sounds about right to me! 500 might be too wide for your anatomy as a 32 band size (450 mod +'s were borderline too wide for me, which is why I went with high profiles) but it looks like you want big tits with a lot of side boob to me!

    Moderate plus is the choice between between mod & high. They're sometimes referred to as a universally flattering profile in the recommended diameter for your frame, but can give a lot of cleavage and side boob without a ton of mass if you go big. 2 and 4 look high profile to me, but 1, 3, & 5 look like big mod +'s maybe? You said you like 5 the most so that's why I said mod + might be an option. But only a surgeon will know what will give you that look, don't listen to me. I just spend all day nerding out on realself surgeon Q & A's. Just don't be afraid of a large cc # or bra size if your surgeon suggests it.

    Many years back, I had anatomical implants and loved the shape right after surgery. However, since they aren't symmetrical, it's all too easy for anatomical implants to wind up being 'rotated' by unequal muscle pressure ... which results in an extremely unnatural possibly 'bizarre' look. As such, anatomical implants are a 'calculated risk' for dancers due to the typically high amount of pec muscle use while dancing / doing pole work. If a dancer's round implants 'rotate' due to muscle pressure over time, nobody can tell the difference !!!

    Mod Plus implants indeed have a forward projection to overall diameter ratio that is much higher than 'standard' implants, somewhat higher than Mod implants, but lower than High Profile implants. Personally speaking, I have always preferred 'standard' or Mod implants in a higher cc rating ... because they produce better cleavage and more 'side boob' without producing a bigger cup size.

    Mod profile 500-550's, or Mod Plus 450-500's sounds like it's in the ballpark. You can get some idea about how different diameter implants will look by checking dimensions at ... then cutting out a couple of paper plate circles with the same diameter of the implants you're considering, and holding the paper circles up in front of you while standing before a mirror, to get some idea regarding the resulting 'fullness'

    Farrah has 650cc and Heidi I believe had 700cc. They both gave the exact ccs in interviews. That cc amount would make most girls measure a DDD or larger, and most doctors will not put that size implant in a girl who has never had a BA before. Farrah and Heidi both had to have more than one surgery to achieve it.

    Also, apparently anatomicals can rotate and cause deformities, cause the pocket to stretch out, and a lot of other things. So most doctors don't do them anymore. I'd say its a gamble.

    Okay so you are pretty much my exact size when I got mine (I gained some weight (years after the implants though) and still need to lose like 5 lbs). I wore a full 32B/30C with the same body type, the only difference is that I have big hips that suddenly jut out from my waist (and no it's not in a good hourglass gently sloping kind of way, it's not cute IMO) lol. For this reason I wanted to go as big as I could, but the doctor would not let me go above 400cc which actually turned out perfectly.

    Do you know your BWD (breast width diameter)? It's measured in centimeters, and it has a big influence on what kind of implant you get. For example, I wanted FAKE looking ones that were obv. too large for my frame HOWEVER my doctor talked me into silicone, and NOT getting high profile (would have put me in the 500cc range because I have a large BWD for my size). I am SO glad he did. I think you and I are the same because your 5 pics that you picked for examples look very similar to how mine turned out. They are somewhere in the middle between fake and natural. I think that is what I really wanted myself. Not totally fake, but not readily found in nature.

    I will PM you a pic if you want.... but here is what I did...

    With my doctor in the US I had two silicone options, Mentor and Natrelle brand. I chose Natrelle because they have a slightly higher projection when comparing Mentor implants of the same profile and cc size. The options are Style 10 (mod), 15 (mod plus), 20 (high profile), and 45 (ultra high profile). I ended up with Style 15 (mod plus) 371cc because that is was got me closest to my BWD without going over 400cc like my doctor suggested. I wear a size 30E/32DD now. Because you have a projecting rib cage, yes you might need more projection, but thankfully that is what high profile and ultra high profile are for. In order to keep the implant close to your BWD, but get more projection (via more ccs added on top, rather than the sides) you just move up a profile. Mods, and mod+ can project just as much as high profile depending on the ccs (but for the same ccs, high profile will project more, but also be more narrow, and will not fill your BWD... you would need a different size, that's why you can't just look at cc's alone). The key is how wide you need them to be to fill your BWD.

    Sorry if that doesn't make a lot of sense, but if you google the product catalog for whatever brand is available to you in France it will give you the dimensions (diameter, cc's, and projection).
