Sizes.. Different Sizes.. Unders/Overs!!

Hey, I'm a newbie from Glasgow & booked in for Oct Mr Chew @ Nuffield!

I'm 5'7, 8st10 and currently looking to be a full C but will prob measure D!

I've been for 2 consultations with 2 different opinions, I felt really happy with the second surgeon but now I'm really confused after speaking with my friends who have had there's done!

First surgeon Transform -365cc medium profile unders, didn't even measure me properly to check if I could get overs, apparently he always recommends unders, nice guy but didn't feel right!

Second surgeon Mr Chew - 390R 360L medium profile overs, measured me thoroughly def have enough room for overs, one boob slightly bigger than over & said if I don't get different sizes they will not be symmetrical, such a nice guy and so many good reviews!

So.. I told my surgeon I wanted natural look so he recommended low profile, which I tried on n we agreed to 390/360, but then later on in the consultation we decided on medium profile.. But we totally forgot to try them on and I didn't realise until I got home, the change in profile would totally change the final look right? Also 2 of my friends were advised to get different sizes but didn't & they are glad they didn't and they wouldn't recommend me going different!

Just wondered if anyone has similar stats & what they went with & ended up with? And also if anyone has experience with 2 different sized implants and how it turned out?

I'm going to meet my surgeon again to sort all this out but just really wanted more opinions before I go back in!

Thanks so much xxx

You have to go with your heart so of you preferred mr Chew then that's the right thing for you, heard great things about him!

Going back to see the surgeon is a great idea to double check everything and try on the implants...

The different sizes have been recommended for you by the surgeon who is the expert based on your body so although your friends are happy with their results, you body is unique and you should listen to the surgeon xx

Hey zoelucy, welcome to the forum!

My first piece of advice is that is a surgeon 'only' does one placement, stay away. It's what he believes he's good at, not what is best for your body. If you're unsure with the second surgeon, it never hurts to go back again. 

If your unsure about going with two sizes, maybe it's worth getting a 3rd opinion. It could just help you to get an average. Good luck with everything!

Maybe get a third opinion Hun, but my advise would be not to listen to your friends, this is YOUR body and YOUR boobs, if you d have a size diffrnce and he's picked up on it then that's a good thing. That 30cc diffence could balance your boobs. 
Implants only enhance what you already have. And any diffences can be more noticeable when bigger. 

Go back for another consulation with him hun to get more reassurance. And try on the different profile . 

A surgeon is recommending what's right for YOU , I'm sorry but your friends are not medically and surgically trained. Listen to the expert x

How confusing for you - my advice would be to get another opinion - it's important that you feel 100% about these decisions x

Thanks

Ahh I wrote well more than that don't know what happened...

Thanks :D I think once I go see Mr Chew again and sort out the size with the high profiles I will feel fine, just really scared that 390cc will be too big compared to what other people have had but I know everyone is different! He explained so well all the reasons for going 30cc bigger, even even put a wee 30cc chicken fillet over my smaller one and they looked the exact same size, just listening to other people's opinions put doubts in my head but he is obv the pro!!

Just can't wait for all this part to be over, sooo tiring its all I can think about! Xxx

Hi, I definitely agree with the others about another opinion. I saw four surgeons in the end, mainly as I was told unders first, then overs!

I wanted to get it all clear in my mind and make sure I was definitely getting the best advice for me and not just going for someone that was recommending a particular placement as that's all they do.

The outcome was three surgeons suggested unders so that's what I'm going with!

It's such a huge decision and you definitely want to get it right!

Good luck.x

I'm not sure if this will help but I had 400cc unders and nearly changed to 375cc last minute 
I'm 5"4 and size 10 
There not to big at all for me. Not sure if that helps at all

Hello and welcome to Breast Buddies Zoe  

If you're questioning the surgeons you've already seen sweetheart they haven't instilled the confidence in you to reassure you that they are 'the one' so as the other ladies have already suggested Zoe, seeing other surgeons before making any decisions would probably be the best thing for you now.

I'd personally advise you see a BAAPS surgeon also hun. These surgeons are at the top of their game and very worth seeing at least one so you know that you've seen all you can before making what is to be a massive body changing decision!

If money is a problem you can see a BAAPS surgeon through MyBreast for as little as £25 for a consultation. It honestly is worth it babe.

Looking at your avatar you also look a tiny little thing, but for two surgeons to offer a low and a medium profile you must have a wide breast diameter. It would be wise to know what your breast diameter is because this helps you to do your own research in which profile might be right for you

As you can see from the diagram below Zoe, the lower the profile the wider the breast base is and you get less forward projection. The higher the profile the narrower the breast base and the more forward projection.



There's so much information here Zoe in the Breast Augmentation Information section of the forum for you to read through if you'd like to to help you get a better understanding of what surgeons talk about when going through surgery plans with you... The more you know, the more you're able to question sweetie. Although surgeons are the experts, what YOU want from this surgery may make all the difference to the choice they make for you, so its important to discuss life style and take in pictures of the look you like.

Its a lot to take in but we can help if you have any questions Zoe.

Enjoy the forum. Xx

I'm really happy with Ben Chew, he is BAPRAS registered (reconstructive I think) and renound for his BAs in Glasgow, I'm not really doubting him more just curious to find out the way that other people have turned out to give me an idea! It's so hard to imagine the final look just trying on a sports bra!

I know I said medium profile but it is actually high profile (between low & extra high), the low profile was too wide for my chest would've made me look top heavy! 

I've emailed Mr Chew to arrange to go back and see him & try the high profile 360/390 and 330/360, once I've decided between these two I'll be happy  xxxx

Good luck deciding Zoe, I'm pre op so absolutely no help to you as I'm currently having the same dilemma about whether to have 1 slightly larger to equal them out, I have to see my surgeon a month before the op and he will decide then. It's scary not knowing what to expect. Hope you get something sorted soon xx

Thanks Mrs B, it's scary because no matter how many people you ask or pictures you see it's still a bit of a mystery how they're going to turn out! Good luck to you as well xx

Hi Zoe! I'm only a week post op, but I had 345 and 325 due to slight asymmetry. My surgeon said he put 345 in both when i was in theatre but there was a noticeable difference so he swapped one to 325 and so far they look the same to me! So I think if he recommends that it's nothing to worry about, it's quite normal for girls to need slightly different sizes at times. Hope this helps xxx

Yes,, BAPRAS surgeons are very good surgeons Zoe  

You could try looking through our [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] if you wanted a 'general guide' hun, but do be aware that you may find a women with exactly the same stats as yourself and find they have the exact same implants as you're looking to have but find the results vary greatly!

This is because we each have an anatomy that is unique to ourselves, so although we may share the same stats with another woman, we may have more/less breast tissue to start with, our breasts may have a wider/narrower cleavage, our breasts may sit differently, our rib cage may be more concave/obtuse than another woman's, we may have more/less overall body fat... The factors that will determine our results can just go on and on Zoe, so its so very important to be aware of that when viewing the stats thread or in seeing other women's pictures that you don't expect to have 'exactly the same' because chances are babe, you won't. Xx

Thanks! Yeah I've noticed that no matter how similar people's stats and implants are the results are completely different! Glad I have a good surgeon looking after me who knows what he's doing! Got all my paperwork through today.. Yayyyy xxx
