350 or 325 CC? Started by: Safiam

Thank you! Yes 325 cc was the biggest I was offered. I’m very glad I went with this as they’re certainly not massive but I tried on some nice D cup bras in Debenhams yesterday just to see if I have reached a D (I really wanted to know as this is the size I said I wanted to aim for) and they fitted snuggly. I was 34A before. They don’t look quite as swollen now.
I will get measured properly in 4 weeks when I don’t need to wear my post surgery MYA bra. By then my boobs should have dropped and fluffed so softened and the implant taken its place. Then I can wear non wired bras of my choice.
Everyone is different but I think if you want to achieve a certain size go with the maximum!
The recovery is going well thank you, first week is the worst. I’m more sore now. X

Hi Hun, I’m 6 days post op, pretty much same stats as u I’m 5ft 6, size 8, 8stone. Before my operation I was 32B. I had a choice of 300-350. I originally was going to only have 300cc but my PC and surgeon recommended I have the 325 as literally only a tiny bit of a difference. I’m really glad I chose the 325, still swollen at the moment but I am so happy I didn’t go any bigger because of my frame I don’t think they would of looked natural. I’ll upload some pics Friday once I’ve had my dressings checked xxx

Hey Safiam,

How you doing? I’m 9DPO. I wanted natural looking boobs as even though I’m tall, my frame is small, so I didn’t want to look stupid. I only wanted a nice C cup. I was offered 250-350 and I chose the 300. I am currently measuring at a D cup. I do Iove them, but they are bigger than I had originally wanted. I went under the muscle too and apparently when the drop and fluff, they fill out so I might get bigger.

Sorry if that confuses you more – I’ve just seen a lot of people say 300 isn’t enough. I think it’s important not to get hung up on cupsize. At the end of the day, 25cc is nothing. I’d just look at how much you are paying for then. Would you rather have them slightly too small or slightly too big?

Hope that helps! X

my best advice is to always go with the bigger size, but discuss this with your surgeon and in the end only you know best – just to say that a lot of people have found the implants to not be as big as they thought post-surgery, and the sinking disappointed feeling is immense – hence why I would always advise for the bigger size (boob greed is real just adding that in lol). I certainly expected, like the image I had in my head of my post-surgery self, to look VERY externally and visibly bigger but I really just look the same (I know deep down they’ll all full now, also mine havent dropped and fluffed yet but still) and many others will tell you the same

Just to point out though that from being on this forum, and generally panicking if your money has ALL been a waste, I have discovered that there are many MANY far more things post-surgery that are faaaar more important than cup size. It dont matter how big your boobs are if you get rippling and you’re unhappy, or double bubble, or displacement, or infections, or capsular contracture, or any of post-op complications many expect not to experience but it does happen. That’s when people just wish for normal boobs that have the scars healing well, are a good SHAPE (I didn’t say SIZE) and look normal, natural, soft, healing fast, no complications, you name it. So now I hold these factors much higher in regard and am forgetting what size I’ll be for now (I’m 13 DPO) and instead focusing on recovery and getting the best results. Because ultimately what matters is that you have a good OVERALL result. Hope that helps xxxxxx

Hi hun,

I had dr fiumara. Who i cant fault at all! She is a perfect surgeon!
I was an a cup before and wanted a d cup. I look a b, measure a dd as implants measure bigger! I wanted to look a d cup not a b! I have smaller boobs than i ever imagined! They are a lovely shape lovely size and ive had an amazing recovery but i still feel im part of the itty bitty club 🙁 xx

@toria31, they really do look so much smaller than they measure haha! really hits home post-op, I also asked surgeon to BE a DD not to LOOK and I wish I told him I wanted to actually LOOK a DD (I’d say atm I look about a full C maybe D) but like I said, I’m so worried about my recovery going well now that I’m just putting it at the back of my mind, especially since I’m only 13 days PO! Seeing surgeon today so will (very nervously) talk to him about it, I just feel so bad because compared to my horrible saggy disgusting boobs before, and how much uplift he had to do, he really did so well for my surgery (was in there for nearly 4 hours!) and I just dont want him to think im ungrateful because he has done SOOO much for me. Ultimately I think I’m fine with MEASURING a DD (Think they’ll be an E once they drop/fluff therefore will look a D and fine with that) as long as my scars etc and general recovery is totally well; I don’t want to jinx being ungrateful only to get a really bad complication and wishing I could go back to how they were before! Stay positive! 🙂 <3 xx

I totally agree with the girls implants do measure bigger than they look I had quite a big implant 600cc but I’ve bigger stats than most girls on here a size 14 and I’m two weeks post op measuring a 34h but don’t look anywhere near a h I only look about a e at most but I’m happy soo far I didn’t go to my surgoen asking for a certain size tho I asked to just had fuller and more volume back at the top with I’ve achieved I accually asked for a smaller implant but he advised against it I wouldn’t of been happy with my results and neither would he of putting a smaller implant in so I trusted he’s jugdment and so glad I did xxx
