Size rant!

Just wanted to vent slightly about sizes, during my pre-op stage I had a few people message me about pushing for bigger than I’d been offered and I still see it on other peoples posts. I’m so happy with the size I went to (325cc) because it gave me the look I wanted, not only that but if I had gone any bigger I would have had rippling (I currently have rippling underneath the skin – not visible), which I was so scared of getting. That “25cc” that people talk about not counting as much would have been the difference between my gorgeous boobs and my rippled/possibly stretch marked boobs. Some people talk about 25cc not being much at all but actually it’s a huge difference because it can be the measurement between having no complications or having complications, I don’t personally feel “only 25-50cc” should be flung around like it’s a tiny measurement. I would have been absolutely furious if I had acknowledged some of the messages on here over what my surgeon had advised me, chosen the bigger size and had rippling. Would have been even angrier that it hadn’t come from someone qualified to advise me either as none of us are PC’s, MYA nurses or surgeons so we all talk from our own experiences and don’t actually know each others outcomes. It’s a heck of a lot of money to be paying for something that obviously means a lot to each individual or we wouldn’t pay it, can you imagine the waste of taking advice from someone you don’t know over the internet and getting a result you’re unhappy with? (Cause that’s literally what it is) I understand we are all trying to be friendly and want the best for each and every girl on here but if that’s the case I really don’t feel we should encourage pushing for bigger sizes all the time without knowing the results or the individuals personally. I think everyone is different and everyone wants a different look – some people like the bigger boobs but there is nothing wrong with the smaller boobs whatsoever, I’m so unbelievably happy with my smaller size, after all that’s why I had my BA, to just have more boobs than what I did before. I’m not trying to be negative, I’m just trying to make girls aware that this is a huge decision and no amount of size should be taken lightly in accordance to your body, your surgeons will know better than anyone as this is they’re job, they are qualified to do this so please take that into account before anyone else’s opinion. We all want the best for each other but think people should be aware that it can do more damage than good sometimes, rant over.

Agreed to a certain extent.
Although I alwaus advice girls who have had 3 different sizes recommended to them by their surgeon (for example 450, 500, 550) to go for the biggest. Boob greed is horrible and i understand what you are saying but like I said, if the surgeon has recommended these sizes. They’re not going to recommend a size that’s going to cause complications or look ridiculous.
Also if you look at the inplants different stays there is literally 1mm difference between 25cc implant sizes which is minimal

It’s not an issue if the surgeon has recommended the size because clearly they know it will be ok on the individual. It’s fine to advise for the biggest size that someone been recommended that’s no harm, but advising someone to push for more than they’ve been recommended I think is unfair. Yes boob greed is horrible but so are the implications of going bigger than your body can handle. Although 25cc may be minimal physically, it can be tremendous when in the body.

I would only ever say go with the biggest that the surgeon will offer. I was offered 600cc and went for 550cc which i kind of wish i had gone 600, but wont let that wreck my head and give me boob greed, i love mine and ive just been measured a 30G which i am more than pleased about. Anyone who follows the advice of someone who is not qualified to suggest that you push to get a bigger size is, in my opinion silly. At the end of the day any good surgeon will not put an implant in you that is too big and will cause you complications, Its going to result in them having to deal with that afterwards too not just the person having surgery. The trouble is there are girls who want surgery to go really big, and they come on here and talk to girls like myself and others who have had what are classed as big implants, but what people need to take into account is that everyones body is different, some of us have had children, lost weight, have more breast tissue to start with, and these all contribute to how big you can go. I know girls who have wanted to go really big and have had to have several ops to achieve that safely and without complications. I can see why they do get a bit upset that they cant go as big, at the end of the day we all just need to listen to the pros 🙂 Glad youre pleased with yours Zahava xx

I agree with u both. Again but I have only advised if surgeon have given you 3 options people who go for middle always wished they had chosen gone that bigger xx

Well said zahava x

I’m so glad someone brought this up! I’ve been offered 300cc only and to be honest even that size freaked me out. The way people go on about pushing for the biggest size makes me very uncomfortable because I just went in and said to Mr Kazazzi that I want him to make me in proportion with the rest of my body. I told him I didn’t want to be any particular size, I just want to be the size that is natural for my body. He told me that is a very good way of coming into a consultation because it enables him to do his job more efficiently and get me the most natural look possible. I came away from that feeling happy that I would get the best results possible but slightly scared they might look too big on me.
I then went away and came on here and started feeling like I’ve done something silly by just accepting the size I was told. I had to keep reminding myself that anything is better than what I’ve got now and at the end of the day I only want to be in proportion. I’ve just kept fairly quiet about my view on sizes but I am pleased someone brought this up. It’s okay to have implants but still remain quite small. Someone people just prefer it. It’s not okay to say that you spend all that money and only go a little bigger, because that’s all I want to do.

Personal choice what look/size people go for. Never a right or wrong size.

I agree on this one not so much about the 25cc making a huge difference but just generally pushing for bigger sizes or taking the biggest offered it does seen to be the main advice given and as everyone is different it’s not always the best way to go I suppose it all depends on what result you want as you said..I started out just wanting my boobs back then after researching and coming on here a bit that there would be nothing worse than boob greed and ended up going for big boobies i stuck with the smaller implant offered to me and I’ve got the opposite of boob greed ATM I actually think they look too big 🙁 and I can feel ripples I think or I’m going crazy haha so it just goes to show different sizes and different people ect xx

Hallelujah that somebody has said this! When I first went to my consultation I was adamant I wanted small implants that looked natural. Having only ever had 32AA boobs, ANY size for me would be amazing. Admittedly I’ve changed my mind & decided to go a little bigger but only to 275cc which some girls have the cheek to say is pointless and I will wonder why I spent all that money on such a “small” size. Huge bouncing boobs is not the look that I personally want to go for, each to their own! I agree about always listening to your surgeon. Xxx

It’s not so much about the “25cc” difference although I do think people are underestimating the difference it can have on your body. It’s more about how many comments I’ve noticed about people pushing for bigger sizes, I think people are misunderstanding me slightly. I don’t think it’s a problem if you’re advising about going for the biggest size someone’s been recommended because the surgeon has chosen that for someone but telling someone to push for bigger than the surgeon has advised is so unfair. This is such a huge decision and shouldn’t be taken lightly under any circumstances. When people say “push for bigger” it made me feel like my size wasn’t going to look nice or suit me and that I was wasting money by not going big enough. Not everyone here wants a fuller bust, they just want boobs! I just wanted boobs and ended up feeling terrified that they weren’t going to be big enough when really it’s not even about that, it’s about having more than what I had before and being happy about it.

To be fair the girls that have been asking us all about going for bigger size implants than wot they have been offered then clearly they should ask for bigger size as if they have got bobbie greed now pre op it’s gets pretty depressing post op and you can go around to different surgeons and each one will tell you different sizes I’ve none 4 years on hear I’ve seen so many girls unhappy about size being to small and it’s cost a lot of cash so u got one chance to get right x

Wish this had a thumbs up button! I think this is very true… I was undesided on what size but like uv said iv actually gone with what my surgeon has said would best suit me and my shape! Personally anything is better then what i have already, i dont want to b overly big as for me i want them to look more naturel but noticable to a certain extent anything to big would be rediculas on me, some people can carry off the big boobs but i couldnt… And everybody is each to there im happy to listen to peoples opinions but would rather trust a professional. Hope ur healing well.. Im booked for jan. Xx

@Zahava well said….TOTALLY agree!!! xxx

@Layla and Totally agree with Layla> Lets trust professional since they sure know what they are doing and not a single body or a boobie is the same xxx

That’s fair dos but biggest size wear talking a few 50 cc not like the girl had been told 380cc and we are all saying go for the biggest 800cc this has all been well under 150cc = a cup size

Fab post @zahava! This has always been my issue. Not every person wants to be huge and it’s quite irresponsible to say push for something not recommended. xx

See this is the issue, I don’t personally think it’s just a few “50cc”, that 50cc you’re talking about would have been the difference between my rippling being visible! People are making it sound like a few sizes is no big deal, it is a big deal because you don’t know the individual personally, you have no idea what the result will be on their body so I don’t think it’s right for you to tell someone to go bigger than what they’ve been told. Unless someone is asking advice on bigger implants I don’t think it’s fair to press a bigger size on someone.

Thank you Natalie, this is exactly what I meant! I’ve had 7 ladies message me telling me how pleased they are that I’ve posted this, and that they agree with this! Xxxx

Think outside the box do the maths 450 v 500 cc = the same cup size not being funny our anything if a girls puts out a Q for comments and ask if something too small AS she’s thinks it’s small her self girls are going to comment on it wether or not you don’t like the answers ( the girl ask her Qs and we all said wot we thought as she was to unsure in the 1st place not like we all bulled her n to it

And on sport bra front they always bigger than your normal bra as they done to width I’m 34GG/H and in a 36F shock absorber run bra

If a girls put out a question about being too small it’s absurd for someone to tell her to push for a bigger size than what she’s been offered by the SURGEON, 50cc isn’t as small as people keep making it out to be or there wouldn’t be all the different size implants that are available!!! I’ve thought outside the box believe me, if 50cc wasn’t that small they wouldn’t have 275, 300, 325, 350 etc implants?! They would skip from hundreds surely but it is a difference hence why they have so many different sizes to suit each INDIVIDUAL person. Everybody is different, no one will have the same experience, everyone measures differently so it’s not fair to push sizes when you won’t know someone’s outcome.

Well the point I’m making Is that I’m defiantly a D which is what I wanted! Even though girls told me 400cc+

You don’t get it do they have they all kind of size and shape 50cc is 50g and that doesn’t tip the scales dose it now so if done the maths work this out I had 385/415cc was a 32G from a DD cup I had them replaced to 450CC and I was still 32G I was told that anything from 150cc up would only make a difference so really I’ve been there n done most of it surgeons never fill you up to the max as this is big money they make and they know that most girls will be bk to go bigger n the future I was told my max was 385/415 and that was it and now I’ve got 590cc we got jennet she had around 380cc and told that was it and she’s walking around with 550cc but end of the day the girl ask us wot each every girl thought and we all don’t think the same way as the next girl this wots this place is for we all have a say and il respect you for yours so pls respect us for ours

No no, you don’t understand what I’m saying. That was your personal experience,your body, your sizes, your breast tissue, your muscle placement etc! your experience won’t be the same as anyone else’s, this is not about respect, I’m not disrespecting you or your boobs I’m making a point that your size opinions (and it’s clear you favour the bigger size) shouldn’t be pushed upon anyone unless they are asking you directly for your opinion. The 50g may not tip the scales but it definitely stretches the skin.

I’m glad your happy that’s wots it’s all about end of the day we all not surgeons but we ask other girls stuff on wot we all think but end of the day surgeons will tell you that from 200cc to 450cc is classed as small and the biggest is 900cc so wot do want me say yeah that’s really big when it’s not I’ve loads of girls post to me 385cc a big implant as they are worried they going to be huge wot do u want me say yeah it’s really big ?? End of the day it’s not like us girls told her to go stomping in and demeaned 900cc instead of 385cc now that is silly you stick a post out and ask if any girls think they should bigger and I’m tell you now most of them will say yes but and of day each to there own but if Q put out there I’m going to say wot I think

Omg I sooooo agree with you I wrote a similar post a few weeks back and I thought I was the only one!! This boob greed stuff actually annoys me a little, girls were unhappy because they didn’t have anything ‘something is better than nothing’ which I’ve seen girls say then they don’t like it cause they think they are huge once the strapping is off a week later once they get used to them being there and the swelling starts to go down they are disappointed which baffles me! Also the whole looking smaller than you measure im sorry it’s bull! I’ve seen hundreds of pairs of boobs fake and natural a D cup is a D cup and a E cup is a E cup the only thing that makes them different is that they maintain the shape where as natural breast sag which them holds the most volume at the bottom which maybe why people think they look bigger?! I’ve bra fitted girls who have been devastated after because they were bigger than what they thought and didnt like how big bras make them look, for 6 weeks you walk in a sports bra that’s thin so once you have a bra on they look so much bigger! I said I wanted to be a DD/E because I knew I would end up bigger so really I was aiming to be an F and I’ve been in work and held the bras on me and I’m an F/FF and I changed mine to go smaller and I am soooo glad that I did! i just think it’s got to be a decision you make for yourself not just what other people experience I’ve seen people get a D with 325 and some get a E that person may think because someone else got the size they want then so will they it don’t work like that! If your an A and you wna be a G then your more looking at having the most you can have that your surgeon recommend then have a re op a couple of years later if that’s what you want! If you end up with rippling and or stretch marks but you knew that you were more prone to getting it by taking a bigger size then more fool you! It’s a lot of money yes but your telling me that your gna have boob greed and be unhappy? Well what happens when you get stretch marks you’ll be even more unhappy then! You can pay to go bigger later on if that’s what you want its only money and the end of the day if it’s what you really want then you would make it happen but you can’t pay to get rid of stretch marks!!! Xxxx

sure it was she was asking wot WE all thought about it and we all said wot each other would do so wots the problem ? That’s y we mya forum I’ve found more stuff out on hear over last 4 years than any wear else as the girls are real

Lol this is ridiculous .. If someone asks a question and gets a response and now those girls who responded are getting told theure bullying others into bigger implants lol sorry but a) they asked for advice, they got it. b) no one is forcing anyone to do anything at the end of the day people are going to make their OWN decisions and can only go on post op girls OPINIONS. And yes everyone has a different opinion, and everyone is entitled to their own opinion. And c) if you feel so strongly about not listening to someone else’s opinion; don’t post asking for advice, go and book another consultation with your surgeon!
I would never recommend anyone who has been offered 350cc to push for 500cc + implants because clearly their body won’t hold them. But advising someone who has been offered 3 different size implants to go for the largest offered (BY THEIR SURGEON) is hardly going to cause them complications or they wouldn’t have been offered it in the first place

P.S 500cc 13.2 cm width and 5.4cm projection
550cc 13.5 cm width 5.6cm projection 😀

Wot kind of bigger are we talking few 50cc. Or 400cc ? no was telling the girl to triple her cup size a few of us just said 50cc as she was unsure

No one said taking the biggest you get offered is the problem it’s pushing girls to ask for even more! And who said anything about bullying sorry but your the only person who has mentioned bullying! Yeah of course your opinion is fine but your saying to someone oh go for 50cc Mir push for it you’ll be disappointed you’ll have boob greed I have blah blah blah that’s wrong that’s making them panic if you said why don’t you maybe speak to your surgeon see if there’s a possibility you can have bigger because you may be disappointed but then again you might not its your decision then yeah I agree but just because you might have felt that way don’t mean someone else does I would have be so annoyed if I’d have chosen any bigger than I am now because someone told me I might have boob greed! I’m lucky I have knowledge on it but 4 week pre op girls who are unsure will take advise from someone because the think oh they know how it feels they must be right because at that point your naive cause you don’t know what it all really means they will panic and might not make the right decision the whole process for me took less than a month I knew what I wanted and I done it if someone was desperate to get it done and had a short space of time to pick and they get egged on by someone who doesn’t know how long they’ve have to decide then they could make the wrong decision!

Lol kelsie see that’s fine but you’re not looking at it if the shoe was on the other foot. I went with my own judgement and not what other people told me. Because I make my own decisions. And went with 550 as I was already worried they would be too big. Now I’m kicking myself for not going bigger !! It works both ways at the end of the day.

Well said leana As that’s wot mya. Is all about at end of day so I don’t y ppl would want to talk on here to girls that are not surgeons

Exactly. So contradicting !

My 1st op round I did the same thing as the girls 4years ago told me this would happen and they was right they bloody small and I was never happy with them it did end of day the girl ask q and we told her wot we would do as this wasn’t the girl who who posted this up but I will tell you something the girl was unsure about the size bring small in the 1st place so y should she go bk n ask for a few 50cc ex wot ever size implants you get there is all risk of stretch marks ripples no implants are 100% risk free

Yeah so if a girls options are 300 350 and 400 and she says I want 400 but I’m worried it won’t get the size I want to achieve you think it’s okay to tell her to push for 425/450? Even though the surgeon hasn’t advised that’s what this post is for not just saying go for the biggest your offered? If you had took the bigger size and got rippling or stretch marks you would think why did I do that I should have took slightly smaller wait for you boobs to get used to it then if you want to go bigger then go ahead!

I never say to push bigger than what the surgeon has offered. I think ive stated that already ?
IF you felt your boobs were smaller than you wanted then I’m sure you would be advising the same as us girls with boob greed to go for biggest OFFERED. And yes BOOB GREED. As it does exist and I can garuntee 90% of women get boobie Blues post op! You’re obviously very fortunate not to be one of them 🙂

Exactly. Some girls get stretch marks and rippling with 300cc and some with 600cc doesn’t. This complications are down to individuals- not implant sizes

End of day she ask if I was paying again I’ve got right to ask for a few. Ex cc push is used on hear for asking end of day she got every right to ask her surgeon if you go and see few surgeons they will tell different sizes as the girl has told me on inbox she’s going to see one else anyway so if this other surgeon says 450cc than who’s right ?

Such a good point !

I agree, nothing wrong with both Alex and Leona, sharing their opinions and experiences. Most importantly they have been providing advice to individuals who have asked questions. In my opinion, that’s the purpose of a forum. I don’t believe one was trying to influence anyone into getting bigger implants..

Ultimately it’s down to individuals, your body, your decision your money! it’s definitely a personal preference what size you opt for , whether it be larger or smaller implants- do whats right for you ladies.

I am sure no pun was intended

But some girls are telling others to push higher than their surgeon has told them they can have that is what we are trying to say, which I think had already been stated? I had a big differece between both of mine im quite aware that if you were not as big as you thought then your disappoint but when a girls asks to be a D and ends up a E well I’m sorry but what are they actually disappointed about? Your more likely to get it by stretching your skin to much. That’s fine she can look around see if someone will give her bigger but when she’s unhappy later on about it because of complications and wants people’s advise then the only thing they are gna get is I told you so

No where has anyone said don’t have an opinion can I just add your completely entitled to your opinion but your not understanding that these people do the jobs they do because that’s what they are trained to do and if your opinion influences some to go BIGGER than they have been offered then I think that’s out of order that is all I’m saying sometimes it’s not best for everybody and they think its right at the time cause it was for someone else and it then isn’t

My opinion has never and would never influence anyone to go bigger than they have been offered- surely that’s just common sense going against what the surgeon suggests ?

Well said Mercedes! X

But girls on here are saying that to other girls that’s what I’m trying to tell you, I agree go for the biggest your offered if that’s what you want I agree with you on that but there are girls who are advising others to push for more than their biggest offer

I’m sorry but no told her go to up load of cups ?? 50ml ex and your huge I could understand if we told her to from 385 to 500 cc and so wot we said push on hear for the lady 4years means ASK but wot surgeon has ever been bullied for bigger implants ? Girls we taking 50ml not 800ml and I don’t y most of feel upset ? As your all happy with your size that’s fab and really happy for you all as that’s wot it’s all about

Well that’s wrong but even so, why would a pre op girl take ridiculous advice off another post op girl when its inrealistic and against the professional surgeons advice. Like I said that’s just common sense, don’t think this whole post was needed to warn people to use common sense really!?
Was just annoyed as well that you said boob greed isn’t a real thing only because you haven’t had it yourself doesn’t mean others don’t have it or won’t get it x

But even Leona has even said she thinks it’s wrong to go bigger than what the surgeon recommends so I don’t understant that you both agree but your saying the opposite, Alex you’ve just told a girl who’s biggest offer was 325 to push for bigger cause it’s only 2 cup sizes? But if she can’t or it won’t fit she is gna be dissapointed because she’s gna think oh it’s only 2 sizes I’m gna hate them but she might not and it could take her bigger I has 325 on my bigger side which is 2 sizes but it’s taken mine up by 3-4 sizes?
