New dilemma : what size - & what is fluffing????

I will try

I have been chatting to my surgeon (Dr Frati at the Harley Medical Group) and i'm not sure as to what size implants to go for.

He has recommends 300cc high profiles to be placed under the muscle and he has said that I should buy 34D support bras to take with me to the hospital. To be honest, i really want to be C cup (which I told him) and I have never even thought of being a D cup as I assumed this would be too big for me!!

Do you guys think this would be too big -- I'm currently 32A - but a small A as I don't always for the bra properly!!

A D-cup post BA would appear smaller than a natural D cup so when you say you would like to be a C-cup then you would certainly 'look' a C-cup if you were to measure a D-cup post op so don't panic about the mention of size, i know it sounds utter mad but you will understand once you've had your op exactly what i am explaining.

Or, do you think I should go a little smaller. I did quite like the 260CC when i tried them on but Dr Frati says I need to go a little bigger as the implants are being placed under the muscle and that by doing this, means that the size reduces by aprox. 10% -- is this right / make sense?? So, effectively, is he saying that the look is the same as the 270cc even though i've got the 300cc in??

Yes this is right, there is a slight loss of size between unders to that of overs.

Also, if I bought 34D bras to wear post op does this mean that when the swelling goes down, they will won't be a 34D??

Some ladies have hardly any swelling and some have alot so it's hard to answer.

Finally, another question which I'm probably going to sound really silly for asking but i've read about fluffing -- what is fluffing??

Fluffing is basically your implants settling, some ladies will surge in size and some will remain the same but have better definition, it's about your boobs taking their final shape, in can happen once or a few times during the months after your operation.

Sorry for all the questions -- hoping you can help to answer some of them please!!

That's ok, i hope i helped a little for you. Good luck with your upcoming op x x x

Also Nads, the Admin here had the same size implants changed from under the muscle to over the muscle, 'in theory' if the percentage loss were correct, she'd have increased her breast size with the placement change, but in reality she remained the same size with both placements, so again, do take in pictures of the resulting size you want so that there is absolutely no confusion with what you're hoping to achieve.

Just wanted to say I had a placement change too with the same size implant and went up at least 1 cup size. Just to add to the confusion that everyone is different and reacts differently.
