CCs or grams??

by EmzH 26th January 2015, 4:04 pm

Just been for my first consultation with a surgeon and he referred to implants in grams rather than CCs. Does anyone know vaguely how they compare size-wise? Was recommended 340-375gs (375 looked MASSIVE!) x

Everyone and everyone es anatomy is different. But 375 g is the same as 375cc. It all depends on a lot of factors. 375 will look compleatly different on me to what it would on another girl xxx

thanks! Didn't know if there was any difference between CCs or grams. Completely agree, it's just because of my frame that they didn't look right for me xx

It's very hard isn't it, to know what size breast you think you will end up. The best thing I did was to take in a picture of a pair of boobs I liked. And show them to your surgeon. That way your surgeon will get a good idea of what you are after. His idea of say a D cup could be different to yours. What sort of look are you after? And do you know what implant you are interested in? What size would you like to be ? Xx

I know they always ask what you're after but obviously looking a particular size & the actual measurement you get could be totally different!

I'd like to look a full C-cup. I'm pretty petite (clothing size 6) but have zero upper pole fullness so that'd be good too!

been advised today that a partial under placement would be best because I am so small around the upper part of my ribcage xx

Hello!
I would have thought your too tiny even for 340! I know there are a couple of girls on here having 260/280 at size 6 and ending up with E's!
Your surgeon knows best though lovely :)
Have you got any other consultations planned?

I'm size 8 I wear a 32B currently, and I'm having 345cc.. looking at about 32DD/E - but I'm not too fussed on size, I just want to look in proportion and good in a bikini!! :) xx

Picture's of the size and look you are hoping to achieve & perhaps some of what you wouldn't want is a good way of letting your surgeon see what you have in mind, as just describing what you are after you can't be sure the surgeon is visualising what you are meaning.
Along with pictures and your unique measurements the surgeon will have a better idea of what you have in mind & using their expertise can then work out the size-shape & profile of implant required to get you your desired result.
Do go back & see surgeon as many times as it takes until you are confident/ happy with your choices.

Someone said something yesterday I thought was really good.. your idea of a D and your surgeons idea of a D are 2 completely different sizes :)

by anneritchley 26th January 2015, 7:30 pm

Yes that can be the case Sarah xx

by sarahlou222 26th January 2015, 7:48 pm

I'm sorry you had already said it!!!

So sorry lol! Xx

by Mammamia 26th January 2015, 7:49 pm

Yes your idea of a d may be different to the surgeons, both of which will most likely be completely different to the reality of what a d is! Do the rice test and collect some photos then go back for more sizing advice. It's a difficult decision to make!

by Mammamia 26th January 2015, 7:50 pm

Lol now I've blimmin' said it again Sarah!!!!

by sarahlou222 26th January 2015, 7:51 pm

You've changed your Avi [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] they look beautiful!

HAHAHA I'm so glad im not the only one.. Did make me chuckle! X

by EmzH 26th January 2015, 8:17 pm

Sarahlou, I'm actually kind of starting to think the same thing - this was my first appointment with a surgeon so a long way to go yet.

That's it really, I keep saying I want a full C cup but looking like that & what I would actually measure are two different things!

Mirren, I've got an album on my phone at the moment (boobspiration) so think next time I'll make sure I show the surgeon that as well as just chatting with them xx

by sarahlou222 26th January 2015, 8:30 pm

Have you contacted My Breast, you could see a BAAPS surgeon for £25? xx

by EmzH 26th January 2015, 8:39 pm

Yeah I did today through their website so going to get that sorted asap. Have a PCC consult at MYA on thurs as well xx

by **Charlii** 26th January 2015, 8:42 pm

Try not to focus on a cup size, surgeons don't work with them, and whatever they tell you will be wrong! Mine was all yeh, it'll give you that nice C cup you're after...I'm a dd/e! It's all relative though, a D on a 32 will be the same volume as an F on a 28. Focus on the look you're after.

by sarahlou222 26th January 2015, 9:46 pm

Let us know how it goes. I couldn't believe his each surgeon was so different!! X

by **mirren001** 26th January 2015, 10:40 pm

As size perception can be way out a good way of seeing the actual difference in sizes , is next time your out shopping in town pop into the lingerie dept of a store & check out the different cup sizes in bras your band size. XXX

by EmzH 27th January 2015, 1:10 pm

will do Sarahlou! Trying to get an appointment sorted with Mr Liew but massively struggling around work :-/ xx

by anneritchley 27th January 2015, 2:02 pm

You will feel more happy when you have a surgeon that you totally trust. You should feel confident that he will give you something that fits your frame. It's a lot to think about otherwise. Yes of course you should have your Input but ultimately he should send you away feeling comfortable with what he has said. Xxx

by EmzH 27th January 2015, 2:09 pm

Couldn't agree more! As much as I have an idea I always think that as the expert the surgeon should give you enough confidence and reasons for their choices that you don't question their decisions that much xx

by sarahlou222 27th January 2015, 2:11 pm

I did that with my boy friend [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] - I was like 'do you like this' 'would you like my boobs to be this big?' Hehe

Oh no :( does he work in any other clinic.
I jumped from one to the other because I didn't want to wait 3 weeks! X

by EmzH 27th January 2015, 2:13 pm

He doesn't seem to - this was through MyBreast. Got a few other consultations coming up as well though xx

by sarahlou222 27th January 2015, 2:15 pm

Oh ok. That's good. The more the merrier :) x
