Should I trust my surgeon? Which size?

Still stuck on size. Would really appreciate some guidance.

Should I trust my surgeon?! I am a 32c and want to achieve a DD (but look it too). He has offered me 310 and 365 extra high profile - overs.

He has said that he would advise me to go for the 310 as he thinks that will be more than enough to get me to the size I want.

Since looking at the Allergan catolog I can see that there I barely much difference in these two sizes. The 365 is just 0.7mm bigger in diameter. I think.

Can anyone help? And are there any girls out there who were the same size as me pre op and have had a similar size implant? Would really like to know what size you have ended up.

Also, I'm having Mr Khan @ Transform. Has anyone else had him?

Thanks xx

Hmmm... Also I have just measured my back under my bust and I measure 29inches. Does this make a difference to anything? Other than I probably could have gotten away with wearing a 30" bra x

if your a c your def get more than a dd with 310 i was small b and now im f cup and i look a dd/e i def dont think your look to small bigger than u think with a good starting size you will def look a dd or bigger i get told i look a dd/e cup xxx

Your stats say you had 410's though Natalia - so that would make quite a bit of difference.
SJG - would you be horrified of going larger??? Most of us (although by no means all of us) do suffer from a certain amount of boobie greed afterwards and wish we had (or in some cases, were able) gone larger. Fully clothed even an F doesn't look huge (or perhaps that's just me an my eyes these days LOL.
If you are really worried about going too large, then stick with the 310's otherwise I'd say definitely go with the 360's if you're not too worried about going larger.
.......... and yes, trust your surgeon - he has probably seen more boobies and the results from doing augmentations than either I or the rest of us put together and should be a good judge of what to give you to achieve a certain look.

Hey Carol,
You say they look smaller in clothes, but what about naked??? Won't they look huge if you end up say an E?
Xx

yes thats true carol but shes got bigger boobs than i had to start with i had pancakes lol i only had 410 and mine look really big but not huge im happy with the size big is good xxx

Well I'm a DD cup at the moment Jolene and I certainly wouldn't class them as huge, even naked - not by a long chalk.
But, and it's a big BUT, I have seen so many boobs over the last couple of months I'm constantly surprised my eyes aren't boob shaped by now LOL - so maybe I'm just getting used to bigger boobs being normal size now and why I don't think they look big and add to that my two closest friends are an E cup and an F cup (both natural, the bitches LOL) respectively and you can probably realise why I said that.

Oh, yes, you will not find me disagreeing on that point Natalia :heehee:

Only asking cos I'm still in a pickle about size, my op is in 9 days so I really need to make my mind up!!!!
I thought I'd decided on 420cc but I keep thinking I can go to 450 and everyone keeps talking about boob envy, I don't want to end up thinking " wish I'd gone bigger" and knowing I could have!!!
Xxxxx

No, that's all right pet, it's so complicated making the right choice for you.
TBH I don't think anybody would really notice any difference between 420 and 450 - if you have a kitchen measuring device weigh out 30 gms of water and pour it into an egg cup and see just how little there is - now imaging that volume of water spread out round one of your boobies and then you might be able to judge just how small the increase that would make.
If you are at all unsure, I think the common response from everybody here would be, go larger rather than smaller.

i would always go with the biggest jolene theirs not to much diff so go with 450 hun xx

Sorry, me and my typing - that should have said ...... "now imagine that volume of water spread out round one of your boobies.........."
xx

OMG I've never thought about it like that!!!! That's made up my mind for me, my surgeon said although I can go to 450 if it was him deciding he would say the 420, so if not much difference I may as well get what he recommends xx

Can you have another consultation with your surgeon? Maybe take some pictures along of boobs you like. A 30dd is a bit smaller than a 34dd. So you can see that is why surgeons dont really work in cup sizes. As a 30dd would be the same as a 34c. I would go have a look at 30dd bras maybe try them on. Even try the rice boobs with the sizes your surgeon suggested just to give you an idea of what they could look like. Although they do look a bit smaller when on the inside

I'm a 34b and he said even with 400 I wouldn't be smaller than d/dd (I am a empty/small b though)!!!
I've tried the water thing and he sent me some implants in different sizes ( although he said this is not best way to see), they just all look huge, prob cos I'm not used to them, but you girls pics I've seen they don't look so big!!!!
I think I'm turning into a drama queen lol!!!! Don't think he will fit me in before my op now, but I'll see him before surgery, I do have pics of the shape/look I want just not size!!!! I'm sure I'll sort it and knowing me cos I'm so impulsive I'll prob just say blow it give me 450!!!!

Also I think my friends are putting me off going bigger, they keep saying things like "they are going to be massive, you'll look so strange with huge tits"!!! Xxxxx

Don't worry about what they are saying hun, they're probably jealous anyway LOL (just wait til you get yours, I bet they will be queuing up to go get theirs done as well).
What does matter is what you want, not anybody else

i was an empty 30c and had 340 unders im measuring a 32 e now
you could always ask your surgeon to see what suits best on the day if you trust his judgement

Thanks Carol, I actually got really upset and exploded and told them that!!! Lol
Melloumaw how does it change your band size??? He did say to me he could do that if I trusted him, I think that might be a good option, will feel strange though falling asleep not knowing what I'll wake up with!!! Xxx

i had depression before the op and couldnt gain weight,since the op i have stopped meds and managed to put 6lb on which has made a massive difference
mel x

i let my surgeon decide on the day.
I was umming and ahhing between 330s and 360s, but on the day he said while on the table that neither of those sizes filled up the skin i had, so he put 420s in.
Im a 30FF but this is only equivalent to a 34D, so its not actually as huge as it sounds. if youre a larger band size, then you need a bigger implant for the same effect.

i wouldnt always agree that you should go for the largest youre offered, because depending on the surgeon, that could be rather large, and not everyone wishes theyd gone bigger. I certainly dont, and theres a couple of girls on here who've downsized as they felt they went too big the first time round. I think its important to try on implants and see what you think suits you best.
I would say though, that a lot of women are scared of going too big, so choose very modestly, and then theyre surprised that the implants actually dont look as big as they thought they would once theyre in and settled.
Its a tricky one for sure.

Ah babes I'm sorry, but so good your feeling better. What a nice pair of boobs can do lol. They look great xxxx

I know exactly what you mean Abbie, I think I'm a bit scared of going to big!!!! Xx
