    Default do i need BA?

    Okay I am considering BA.

    I am worried about the risks and everything involved.

    My main issue is that I have lost volume in my breasts - they are bigger on the sides but no cleavage. I used to have a nice C-cup but as I have gotten older they have really deflated.

    I also don't like the uneven size. The left one sits higher and is smaller than the right one.

    I am 5ft nothing! I weight about 100lbs - what (if any) type and size of implants do you ladies think would look good?

    Well you're small, so you can do HP but it depends on your rib cage, and the look you want. I'm 5'11 and got HP as you saw in the other thread, so it can work on all types of bodies. If you'd like a C cup, I'd probably say around 350 CC's (not sure if CC's are the same as in AUS as they are in the US). They say 150-200 CC's get you another cup size.

    Good way to check for size: Determining Breast Size / Breast Implant Size

    Your plastic surgeon may let you try on implants during your consult. The breast implants are usually tried on underneath a sports bra, or in a regular-type bra. If your surgeon does not do this (and not all surgeons do), you can try on different "sizes" at home using a the "rice test". If you don't want to use rice, you can use oatmeal, potato flakes, or grits, etc.

    To do the rice test, do the following:

    Use knee-high hose (or cut-off pantyhose), and fill them with the desired amount of cc's. Using ziplock baggies is not recommended, due to the "pointed" corners of the bag. (CC conversions available below.) Once you have them filled, try them on under a sports bra. The sports bra is helpful, especially if you plan on having your implants placed under the muscle. The sports bra compresses the the "pretend breast implants" much like the muscle will compress the real implants. If you are going under the muscle, you'll need to add about 15% more to the amount that you like. For example, if you like the way 400cc looks under the sports bra, you need to add 15% to that amount. So actually, you would need around 460cc implants to achieve the look you see with the "pretend implants" in the sports bra.

    Instant mashed potatoes and oatmeal are not as heavy as rice, and may be used instead.

    Try InaModel 3-D breast augmentation imaging. It's free, and may give you an idea of what you will look like with different cc amounts. Keep in mind that your anatomy plays a role as to how the actual breast implants will look. This is still a fun and interesting thing to try.

    How to measure for cc amount / Rice Test

    The conversions below, which are approximate, will help you when doing the "rice test".

    *

    1 cup = 236cc
    *

    1/2 cup = 118cc
    *

    3/4 cup = 177cc
    *

    1/4 cup = 59cc
    *

    1/3 cup = 78cc
    *

    2/3 cup = 156cc
    *

    1/8 cup = 30cc

    The amounts above can be used in different combinations to achieve the cc amount you desire.

    It's important to remember that you should not solely rely on cc amounts. For instance, if you like the way 400cc looks on one person, that does not mean that 400cc will give you the same look. This is due to several things, including, but not limited to: amount of breast tissue, shape of the chest wall, deformities of the chest wall (such as pectus excavatum and pectus carinatum), and weight, to name a few. Basically, your existing breast tissue, and anatomy dictate how many cc's you will need. Therefore, you should do the rice test to give you an idea of how many cc's you may need to get the size you want. Again, this is just a rough estimate, as the "rice test" is not an exact science.

    wow thanks heaps for all that. I will definately try out the rice idea.

    I am going for consult tomorrow for rhinoplasty and I might use some of that time to discuss BA as well.

    Looking at your thread inspired me to write this thread coz yours look sooooo amazing.

    Coz of my height i dont wanna end up looking like dolly parton but I think a full C would look ok.

    thanks again

    The thing about the unevenness is that any little differences, except for size which can me corrected with different size implants, will be more pronounced after your BA. I hardly noticed that my right boob was lower than my left, but after my BA, it was way more noticable. Even the best PS can't change where your boobies are sitting on your chest. I don't want to scare you or anything.. But just know that you can't expect a BA to fix any unevenness in height.

    It's hard to tell what your ribcage is like, but you could probably do mod plus or high profile. I suggest salines because of the safety issue, but if you can get cohesive gel, those are good too, but are a bit harder than salines, according to my PS.

    And I just want to mention -- you don't NEED a BA, but if you want one, it would look beautiful on you. Very few people actually NEED it. Good luck with your decision!

    I think your boobies are gorgeous. However if your heart is set on it, full C's would look great. Don't get too big.

    WORD. I think you've got a great body, including your breasts. You had been mentioning around that you never wanted a BA before you were stripping...
    However, if you really feel that this is something you want, I have to agree with CF^. A C-cup would look great on your body. You don't want triple Z's that knock you over since you're so petite. Besides, imagine working out w/ huge breasts, you'd give yourself black eyes running!! lol. jk
    Good luck w/ whatever you choose, hon.

    ^^Thats what I was thinking. If anything go on a few consults and see what they say. We cant determine BA size we're not the surgeons. Sure I didnt need BA either but I like having them a whole lot

    Your body is almost identical to mine and your breasts were like mine before my BA, except mine were a little rounder.

    Do this for you, but take the advice of another tiny person, don't go above a C. Mine are a small D and it makes it hard to find clothes that fit. I think my life would have been easier if I didn't go so big.

    Good luck on your consult!

    If you want one, do it. Don't do it for anyone else or because you think you need one.

    I think your breasts look perfect as is.

    Your breast are beautiful which means they'll be beautiful fakes. I agree with what everyone's saying about size, don't go bigger than a full C. Since you have an athletic frame, C's will compliment your body perfectly.


    I'm getting b/w 325-375cc which will make me around a small D. Since I'm 5'10, they're going to look more like C's.

    my boobs were uneven before my ba, the doc fixed that by adding more saline to one of the implants then the other.

    I think you look great and you don't need a BA, but I'm biased and I love big titties. LOL So get one if you really want one!

    You have beautiful boobies- you definitely don't need a BA. Some people do (well, no technically 'need', but really 'should have'). You are not one of those people. You're blessed with beautiful naturals...why mess with it?

    You look great. Unless you want huge tits, it doesn't look like you need correcting.

    .... didn't you just post about needing a nose job too??? be careful, baby... NEED a BA??? of course not, only people needing reconstruction NEED cosmetic surgery. would it look good on you? frankly, yes, you could pull it off. but like I said... careful... I think you look WONDERFUL like you do right now... but of course we'll support whatever decision you make- just make sure it's for the right reasons.

    The words 'huge tits' are pretty vague. Some people may think a C cup is huge or a FF is huge. A person who gets a BA wont necessarily end up with 'huge tits' unless thats what they choose - which is fine if they are happy. Getting a BA isnt always 'correcting' something. There is nothing wrong with the OP in any way....its making one self even better IMO. But in no way was I or any other woman flawed before her BA.

    Jaizaine, do yourself a favor and read all the body business breast implant stickies at the top. Best way to make a decision is gather as much info as you can and then decided yay or nay.

    well, they can do a lify, or cut the pocket of 1 lower.

    You have the SAME body like I do, except my waist is smaller in proportion to my rib cage and hips. Boob size and hip size are totally alike, as is weight and height. I have 400 ccs.
