Does anyone still FEEL small??

I know that everyone always advises to take the biggest option possible, and haven't heard anyone say that they feel too big. I think we can probably all relate to that "I feel so small" feeling that you live with pre-BA.

When I breastfed, my boobs got lots bigger, and I filled a 34C nursing bra. But, I still felt small. I don't even think I looked as big as that sounds. In fact, I felt like I still looked "small-chested", but not flat chested. I know I don't want to feel that way after my BA after having paid so much money, and I hadn't really considered that it was even a possibility to feel like that post-BA, but I've realised if I end up looking like I did when I was breastfeeding, I'm probably still going to "feel" small.

So I'm just wondering, does anyone still have that pre-BA "small" feeling, even though your boobs are quite obviously bigger? Do you just feel like your boobs are "perfect" and that they really suit you? Or does anyone feel like their new boobs are "huge" but in a good way (or a not so good way?)?

So many questions!! Sorry.

I think straight after my BA I was worried they looked bigger, but not the size I was expecting. Then after some settling I was very happy with the size and felt like they were big but suited my frame perfectly, I had the hour glass figure I've always wanted.
I am used to them now, so although I am perfectly happy with them and wouldn't change them I dont see them as massive, they're just normal to me. It's other people that remind me how big they are, fo instance I may pop down my friends in a normal top and no one says anything, but in other tops she's asking me if I've been and had more surgery as they look massive lol.
So no I dont feel small, but I am used to their size

Me :( I always knew I couldn't go as big as I wanted due to my smaller side (would have needed two ops otherwise) so although I am obviously bigger than I was, and the size does sit really well on me, I still feel small chested. I am wearing a 34D/DD and wish I was at least an E as I feel my body size (12-14) could easily take it without looking top heavy. For instance none of my clothes are too tight now they just fit really well. So I am in proportion, just I wanted to be curvier

All the girls on here who say go bigger rather than smaller are right! Had I been able to chose a size, I would have gone at least 100cc more than I was given. So make sure you tell your surgeon that you would rather be bigger than smaller. Seriously it's amazing how fast you get used to them!!

Hi hun,

I have already moaned that I feel a bit small....although when I say that to people they look at me like Im a bit mental! They are not small....just not as big and buxom as I'd like.

Unlike you, when I breastfed I had literally PERFECT boobies (apart from the leakage)! I never got measured but they were big and I loved it! They drew a lot of attention and I had an amazing cleavage without even trying.

So I think thats why I feel a bit disappointed as I was hoping that would be re-created, but alas its not happened.

Are the implant sizes suggested the biggest you can go? I wish I'd asked for maximum possible...that way at least I'd know I had the best possible effect I could get.

I know how you're feeling LindyLou. I'm very flat chested now and am worried that even after my BA I will still feel 'flat', or if not flat then very fake since I haven't got much real boob to start with. I've heard so many ladies saying though that BA breasts look a lot bigger than the same measured size of real breasts. Most of my friends who've had surgery on their breasts have found that even though they measure around a 32C or D, that they actually look more like a DD/E cup would. However boob greed takes in I think and everyone wants to go bigger. So push for what you would feel happiest with xx

I have found it to be the opposite, I measure a FF but think I only look a DD in clothes, maybe it's the width of my implants that make me a FF and the projection is about a DD?

thats the same as me, i wear a 32ff bra but you would never think it looking at them, i think its the width that fills my bras out not outwards,

when there is days i think im not at all what i wanted i try on one of my old bras then i notice what used to go in them to what does now,

i went the biggest my surgeon would let me cause of my frame,

I wear a 32F bra but don't think I look that size. I think I look more like a DD

I'm in a DD cup now, but I always thought a DD sounded massive, but it isn't....not on my frame anyway!!!

I can 'squish' them into slightly smaller bra's and get one hell of a cleavage, then again if I want to 'dress them down' I can achieve that too.

Sometimes LL they do feel bigger, I think if I catch a glimpse of them in the mirror they look huge, but then if I stare at them for long enough - which I do a lot..... :teehee: then they seem to appear smaller.....

But on the whole, I'm a happy bunny!!! x

I feel small too, I think it's because I've been used to them for the past few years, they just feel like a part of me. I think I only look a C in certain clothes!

When I have them changed in the future I'll be going a bit bigger I think. As much as I like the size I am now, I think 380-450 would be good.

I went the biggest my surgeon would allow me, and although I'm measuring a 34F, they don't look it too me. I feel I could have carried off bigger, but having the uplift I was limited. I am happy though, at least I can make them look bigger if I want with the right bra, where as if they were too big, I'd have trouble hiding them.

ive had 410 cc unders and cant see much difference i think this is due to the fact i used to wear alot of padding to fake a bigger boob! i was given the option of 460cc but my bf put me off it saying i would be too big! wish i just made my own choice :( xx

I know exactly what you mean with the push up bra! I used to wear the double push up which was fantastic but I got used to that look with clothes on, maybe a little bigger now. But now I can have the same look without clothes on and that makes me very happy ;-)
It's funny cause my husband told me to stop wearing the bras cause he knew that was going to happen, he was so right!! But on the flip side the people I dont really know would never guess I had it done ;)

Angbaby,that is so wierd,i think mine look a good size when i catch sight of them,but if i study them they seem to dissapear!!I wonder why that is? x

I wish I'd gone bigger. Trying to find an excuse for a re-op before my 3 yr guarantee runs out! Not one person has commented that I look bigger ( I didn't telll anyone I was having it done) probably down to all the padded bras I used to wear! Measuring a 32E but honestly look a C/D cup :(

shellymae im totally the same being going around with big jackets on zipped up and thought i would be doing the exact opposite :( maybe il still have to wear a bit of padding but whole point of the op was so i didnt have 2! i suppose its not the end of the world but i cant help my greed!! lol xxx

Karina..my guess is that in a couple of weeks you'll change your mind and be comfortable with what you got..oh and if you havent tried on a normal bra yet I think you'll be pleasantly surprised with what you see. The day I went bra shopping was the day I was like..ok this are actually pretty big, those sports bras they make us wear make you look almost flat.lol!!

The purpose of the sports bra is to flatten you down and hold you in and reduce movement so they make you smaller as they are like minimizers. When you put a proper bra on for the first time its usually quite impressive especially if you have one of your old ones to hand.

It does amaze me how quickly we get used the new boobies though as it doesn't take long before they start to feel small and I agree if you inspect them they seem to shink before your eyes lol.

I wonder if this is the reason why some women keep going and get to these ridiculous sizes because they just get used to whats there.

Thanks for all of your replies girls, I haven't managed to come back on here since I first posted this thread!

Interesting points, and I think it highlights that we might feel a certain way about our bodies but that's not necessarily the way that other people see us.

I'm actually happy with the size I look now when I wear my (uber)-padded bra. Sometimes it kind of looks small in some clothes, but in others it looks really nice.. so I guess a tiny bit bigger wouldn't do me any harm. I think it's really easy to make boobs look nice in clothes with a good bra, but it's the naked part where I expect my £4k to pay off!! lol.
