Im not denying you have boobs lol im saying surgeons do not work in bra sizes as all bra makers make them in different sizes anyway, for example a La Senza DD will be much smaller than an M&S DD, surgeons always work in cc's or grams, that is a fact and that is all i am saying, i'm not having a go.

I am allowed to say my point of view as it is a free forum where you can give your opinion, i am giving mine.

by xelizax123 3rd March 2009, 10:42 am

hmm.. well your point is welcome but how many times have i written??
my surgeon did not say anything about cc?
i'm not the happiest at the min.. being in constant pain, unsure of boobs etc,,, so dont have the energy for you to be saying it's this, it's that.

BUT:

the implant size is the most important decision to make!!
You had obviously already decided on surgery by seeing a consultant, so the implant size is the only thing left to discuss and decide. It seems implausible (in my opinion) that you wouldnt know this. Its a serious and expensive decision, and I cant imagine how anyone could go into it so blindly

Its like saying"Im off to the hairdressers to have my hair coloured"
"Oh, lovely! What colour are you having?"
"Oh, I dont know."

Great, thats what counts at the end of the day

Hi Hunni

What Nads is saying is right, surgeons do work in CC size. However, what I think has happened is that your surgeon has told you that you will be a DD, and then used his best judgement to decide on the cc that you need.

So you will have had a certain size implant, measured in cc, but you haven't had that information.

Please don't get upset, darling. We're all here to support you hunni, and I know that you're probably not feeling your best right now, being in pain and stuff. Also you found this site quite late in the process just days before your surgery. And had you found it earlier you may have been better informed.

What's important now is resting and getting yourself healed. And you'll hopefully end up with the boobies that you've wished for.

Like Maria said!

You may want to call your patient care co-ordinator and find out what your notes say. If you ever need a reop in the future (eg if you want them replaced or just want to go bigger) you'll need to know what size you were.

Did you get a booklet after your op detailing the make of implants you had?

by xelizax123 3rd March 2009, 2:49 pm

Thank you maria, that is what happened, i will ask my cc size when i go for my check up on thurs.

I see what you mean now.. your surgeon chose an implant size for you based on wanting to be a DD :) Good luck with your check up xx

by xelizax123 4th March 2009, 9:14 am

thank you! Hug

by amanda2k10 4th March 2009, 12:30 pm

did you get a id card hunni????
i got one and you need to carry it in your purse incase you have an accident or something so the medical experts know you have implants. if you have one have a look because it should say your implant brand and size (cc/grams) on there.
hope that helps
hugs

And if you're ever in an accident they can ID you from the serial number on the implants!

How weird is that... it's like having a barcode!

by charlie1pink 4th March 2009, 1:28 pm

Aw, i never knew that. My cards are still in the booklet they came in, in my draw!! I best them out and put one in my purse lol x

by mariajw 4th March 2009, 1:53 pm

I don't keep mine on me. It's tucked away somewhere safe. Just don't know where!!!!

by angelicfruitcake 4th March 2009, 2:45 pm

Ooops, mine is in a drawer at home too. I might photocopy it just in case I lose my purse or something.

Every surgeon I have seen has said that they do not like talking about cupsizes, because it is not an exact science since different bra manufacturers has different sized cups.

cc is a measurement of volume and that is what surgeons usually discuss. If your surgeon says that you will have a DD, then he probably has a size (cc) in mind. I am sure your surgeon works in cc as well even if you didn't discuss that.

To make it more difficult, one size (i.e 250cc) can look very different depending on projection etc because it is a Volume measurement. If you have a high projection implant the diameter will be smaller and vice versa.
The projection will also affect how big they look.
Hope this makes sense.

by BlondeBarbie 4th March 2009, 10:04 pm

I didnt know you had to carry those ID cards around with you either.

by BlondeBarbie 4th March 2009, 10:11 pm

The letter for your doctor.. is it important? I just found mine in my drawer. Should i give it to the doctor?

by mariajw 5th March 2009, 8:59 am

I don't think I've given mine to the Doctor either. I don't remember getting one!!
