Sizing appointment, the actual effect...

by Dayzeee 14th March 2014, 6:43 pm

When you try on implants under your clothes for sizing how accurate is the final effect after ba to the look you got at the sizing appointment?
Curious....

My surgeon 'doesn't do bras' when sizing just gets you to wear a tight white t shirt and pulls it tight at the back with the different implants in place.

I need to get a tight t shirt for my final sizing as the last one wasn't tight enough, any ideas where to get one? Or am I better off just buying a kids one. Xx

by Boney1992 14th March 2014, 6:57 pm

I'd either buy a kids one or just a top a couple size smaller so it'll be super tight! Xx

by Dayzeee 14th March 2014, 6:59 pm

I took a size 6 top for the last one but it was from next and inot very elasticy so was useless! X

by Dayzeee 14th March 2014, 7:00 pm

Next stuff comes up big on me too. I might get a kids one...

by Boney1992 14th March 2014, 7:08 pm

Get a kids one babe, I wear 8-9 children's tops from Asda George you'll find one in there. Xx

Primark has stretchy T shirts

I agree with Boney! Get a kids' vest top or t-shirt from Asda or Primark :) Primark do very tight vest tops in a size 6 so you could get that?

Good luck for your final sizing!! It's exciting trying them on isn't it? haha :)

Good luck xxxxx

Oh yeah I forgot about Primark, do they do size 4 tops? Xx

That sounds bizarre! I was given a bra to put on by the PCC to try them on with. But sure, try a kiddies top!

I was looking at my 'trying on' pics the other day, and didn't realise how big they did look then! Id say they were almost true to fit, maybe looked a tad bigger. But its definitely a good indication. (I'll post them up when Im on my other machine some time soon)

by Dayzeee 15th March 2014, 8:39 am

Thanks girls :) think I'll just go asda and get a kids 7-8 or 8-9.

Charlili I'd love to see your trying on pics!

Tiger it is exciting but hard to pick I was confused at the last sizing ha x

Ive never heard that before trying them with a t-shirt instead of a bra but every surgeon is different! I found sizing the hardest part of the pre BA process, I would say it was pretty accurate compared to what I ended up with. You just have to trust your surgeon and go with what you are happiest with together. Good luck, I hope the next appointment goes ok!

I was agonising over size and profile for Hug

months and months..
In the end I have just trusted my PS. They have done so many BAs so they can assess what implant you need to get the look you want?
Good luck hun

Thank you girls, I probably will go with the 295cc low profile, excited about trying on again, it's like being a kid in to sweet shop! got my Macom today in xs and it's perfect fit so thanks for that too lovelies. Xx

I tried on with a bra and vest top, mine were def.bigger than they are now but.my muscles have still to.loosen alot xx

by JellyBaby 15th March 2014, 11:43 am

I tried on 310 and 335 at my sizing but my surgeon ended up going smaller to 280 and 295. To be honest it's kind of the size I had hoped they would be in my head from my original ccs! Xx

by Dayzeee 15th March 2014, 1:14 pm

It's amazing how just a little bit more makes a lot of difference and the profiles are so different too! I'm tempted to go for the biggest one that suits me without looking ridic but I will go with what the main man says I think, all of his befores and afters are amazing so I can trust him :) x

I tried on the bra with prosthetics and looked huge yet when they gave me a clingy vest to put on they didn't seem so massive . I just took guidance from the surgeon , he had a lot more experience than I did

Hi babe
I've got my sizing tomorrow which I'm doing in my dd sports bra!!! Just slip the implants in!!!
Have you tried the rice bags? Cut off feet on a old pair of tights , weigh the rice (say 270g for 270cc) and put in!!!
It's v funny - I was testing mine last night as I'm still unsure what size to go.
My surgeon thinks 260 up to 280, but I want to know that this is big enough.
Like you I'm quite small so my surgeon has warned me off going too big.
I'm already a c cup but as I'm having a lift I'm finding it hard to think what the final outcome is going to be!!

Not long to go now xxxxx

by **mirren001** 16th March 2014, 3:22 pm

All good advice already given, just wanted to add that H&M do good stretchy vest tops size XSmall.
Looking forward to seeing your progress as think next op I will be looking at a small lift or conical implants and your surgeon seems to be the top man at conicals! XXX

by Dayzeee 16th March 2014, 3:27 pm

Ohhhh I haven't done the rice bag thing, I think I will give it a go! When is your sizing Moomins?

Thanks Mirren, I can't wait I am getting more excited every day, the more I look at his before and after conical pics the more I adore the shape and natural lift that they give :) x

by Dayzeee 16th March 2014, 3:30 pm

Sorry moomins I have just realised you said your sizing is tomorrow x

by Dayzeee 16th March 2014, 3:30 pm

Exciting, let us know how it goes and what you decide on :) x

by Moomins 16th March 2014, 4:49 pm

My sizing is tomorrow night.

I don't know what size to go for / my surgeon says max 280 as otherwise I may end up too big!!!!

So do you do your sizing in just a top?
Get an extra tight vest top?
Xx

by Dayzeee 17th March 2014, 2:17 pm

Yeah literally he places the implants and pulls the top tight, he says he does it like that because anyone can look good in a bra which is true I suppose. Good luck for tonight his exciting! X

by Dayzeee 17th March 2014, 8:17 pm

I tried the rice boobs just now lol my husband found it quite comical!
I tried 295 and a 320, liked both sizes....such a good idea! X
