    Default Apprehension about BA

    :o

    I scheduled my BA a few months ago for the 22nd of June which is just around the corner. For the past week I have become increasingly apprehensive not only about the surgery in itself but also the size.

    Initially I told my surgeon I wanted a full C (I am a natural 34B), so she suggested 325cc over filled to 375cc and showed me an enhanced image of my chest with implants that size on her computer. When I saw it I thought it was too big, and she told me the biggest complaint post-op is that the patient wished they had gone bigger. So I thought ok leave it at 375. Well time went on and I went in for my second consultation and by then I thought 375 was too small and I told her I wanted bigger. She warned me that if I went much bigger than 400 then the implant would be visible from the top as it would create an unnatural looking hump. So I said ok leave it at 400.

    Well...here's my problem, this past week I've been so afraid I will not be satisfied with the size after the surgery. I thought I was completely sure of what I wanted but the more I think about it the bigger I want them but I don't want to sacrifice the natural look, but even that's starting to not be so important to me...even 600cc sounds almost too small. This probably sounds so silly and I apologize for rambling. I've only started feeling this way for the past week, and what bothers me is that it would be a significant change from what I thought I was so sure about. What I want to know is did any of you go through this, and if so what did you end up doing?

    Thank you for taking the time and consideration to read this...

    I know your doctor said a huge complaint post-surgery is the patient wishing they had gone bigger, but I also have a couple dancer friends who regret going "over the top" huge!!! Though guys do prefer breasts in many shapes and sizes, most men do not want to see your breasts come in the room before the rest of you!!! I would advise you to sit down and honestly analyze what size would make YOU the happiest. Do you only want larger implants because you think it is what guys want? Or would you be happier at a full C? In the end you must be the one that comes to terms with your implant size because you will be the one living with them!!! Good luck!!! I'm sure they will turn out great

    That's just it, I was sure that 400 was just right for me before, but it's only recently that I've become unsure. It's not so much that I'm worried about what other people think, I'm not really worried about that at all. It's just that 400 looks much smaller to me now than it used to, and smaller than what I thought I wanted.

    I'm just afraid I might make a mistake is all, either by not going bigger or by going bigger and realizing it's not what I wanted.

    I think all girls who get BA's worry incessantly about the size. Very normal. My instinct is to err on the side of caution. What would be more emotionally problematic for you; too small or too big? I, myself, got 330cc which took me from a 32A to a very full c or small D. My body is too small to handle anything bigger than this whether natural looking or not. It really all depends on wwhat you want your final result to look like. Mine are perfect for my body. Sometimes I look down now and think they aren't big at all, but I know they are proportionate to my body and that's what I was after.

    Good luck!! Let us know how it goes! BTW have you checked out www.breastimplants4you.com ? Great info there!!

    I was a 32A and requested a full C and came out with a full D (350 cc's) and am very happy with the results.

    What size do you want to be? Don't think about the CC's...the numbers are different for everyone.

    This sounds shallow but the bigger you go, the harder it is to find really nice bras.

    My former/sometimes GF says this; she's a natural 36D.

    Idealism is fine, but as it approaches reality, the costs become prohibitive.

    Well, you can find bras for "bigger" boobs. The downside is that they have the "granny slingshot" look to them. LOL

    That's why I will never shop at VS for bras. All of the bras they have for the 36D's look like granny bras.

    Thanks to all of you for responding, I think I just had a lapse of judgement from my own silly self-induced anxieties.

    what you're feeling is totally normal. I went through the same anxiety myself. I do suggest you go as big as you're doctor is willing, ie: go for the 400cc implants. What you see immediately after surgery is not what you get. I was a 32b mine are 350's I wear a 32d now. Also, size d implants look like c size boobs.
