Why is my PS stingy with CC's?

[lipi]

I had consulation with 2 different PS about my BA. They both suggested 325CC. I told them I wanted a C cup. I've seen many other people with a lot more CC's to achieve a C cup. So why are they so stingy about my CC's? I am 5'2", 100lbs. Is it my height and weight? I don't want to wish that I had gone bigger later down the road after I had spent so much money on my brests. Any inputs?

I had my BA 10/7th & I had 325cc's in left & 365cc's in right to even out breast & I wanted a Mid C & now wishing I got a full C . I am wearing a 36C bra but just don't feel they are that size, so you do get boob greedy, I know from experience. I wish I would of listened to all the girls & got the full C. Mu hubby thinks there perfect for my body & my stats 5'5 1/2 , 120lbs & I'm a 36C with that many cc's so you might be a full C with the same amount of cc's since your body frame is smaller. You honestly can't go by cc's everyone is different with final results. But if you want a full c I'd personally go in the higher 300 cc's range BUT if your Dr. is that good then he knows what he is doing ! I am just starting to drop @ 8wks & hoping to fluff more & then I'll be that much happier. Good Luck & Happy Holidays ...............

I had my BA on November 15th, and had my old (25 years)silicone implants replaced. I had no idea how many cc's my old ones were, but my Dr. told me that after he got in there he found out they were 270cc's. I wore a 36 full C, cup, but they were so completely different from what my new ones are and not necessarily in a good way. They sat high on my chest and projected out more that a real boob would. Anyway, he replaced them with 300cc's, and it looks, as though, I am still going to be a full 36 C cup. Bras fit me differently than before, because my new ones are so much more like a natural boob, which I love. I think a lot depends on what size you are to begin with as to how many cc's you will need to get you to your goal. I was pretty much a regular to full A cup before my first surgery, certainly not very big. If someone else got 300cc's and they were already a B cup then, they would be bigger than me. Hope that makes sense. I trusted my Dr. to know what was best for my build, etc. and told him I wanted them to look real not fake, like I had before, and that's exactly what he did. My husband and I both like them so much better, but it took me a few days to adjust to them, I had looked the other way for 25 years...lol Anyway, maybe you could take some pic's of what you are wanting to look like, to your Dr. I am bigger than you are size wise, I am 5'5" and weigh 116, so all of that has to be a factor when deciding what is best for each individual person. What bra size are you now? Hope this helps, just make sure you are communicating well with your PS, you are the one paying for them, so you should be able to get what you are wanting, IMO!

One thing I have wondered is, if you have a large band width, like I do, I measure 32" around my ribcage, but am a small boned person, does that make you project or look different than someone who is say a 28" ribcage area? Almost seems to me the smaller the ribcage the bigger you would look, but I probably don't know what I am talking about...LOL That's one maybe Mikki can answer

I know anytime I go bra shopping the sales people always tell me there is no way I need a 36" bra, but according to the way you figure it, I do. I did buy one bra the other day that is a 34 D, but it bugs the heck out of me. I know I couldn't wear a 36D. I just have a thick ribcage, whether it looks like I do, or not.

I had my ba on 1/6 and had 350 on the left and 325 on the right. At first, I thought I was only a full B/small C and was also wishing that I had gone bigger.

Well, I have dropped and fluffed somewhat. I went to Nordstrom's, VS and Fleet Feet (a running/sports shop) and they ALL measured me at 32DD/34D. I definitely look bigger than I did at 5 weeks post.

Have you gotten professionally fitted? I bet that you're probably bigger than you think :-)

My boyfriend says that any C is good, especially on a small girl.

I would go with the doctor recommendations, they have experience.
