Aside from some delicious meals, I ate girl scout cookies like it was my job, then sipped on some bubbly to wash 'em down!
I think we alllll need a bit o' indulgence every once in a while!

So... I went to Nordstroms to get fitted. I'm wearing a c cup in wireless and a d (!) in wired. I only look slightly larger than I was naturally though. People say I'm just a touch larger. So I think I look like a mid to full b.

Ann - I always find it sooo interesting how the bra sizes are so different than the actual "look"...I am so interested to see how my exchange pans out and what bra size I'll be wearing vs. how I look...I think I'll laugh out loud if I wind up fitted for something like a D bra if the new girls look like B/C's!
...my oh my, will that be a whole new shopping experience ;-)

Yeah... I still don't get the sizes being diff than the "look"!! If you are truly measuring a size D cup in the wire because (from what I've been told) the implants are "wider" than natural breasts.... then is the front tip of the cup not being filled??
If you are truly filling the D cup then I just don't get it. If a natural breasted woman wore that exact same bra, and was therefore a D cup. Would she not "look" like a D??
Megan.. I too will be laughing out loud if I measure out a D!! Hmmmmm..... if only we could translate this "sizing/look" phenomenon to our lower halfs! As in.... I measure a size 10 pants... but I "look" like I'm really sporting a size 4!!!

This sizing thing is something I never got, and amounts of ccs filled of TEs never meant anything to me.
All I know is that much depends on your size as a person. Your rib cage, big boned, small boned, height, etc...
When I look at my new breasts, they look like b/c cups to ME. However, they occupy far less space that my old breasts did. They are more shapely and less wide, so the bras they fit into are A/B sized (depending on where your shop).

I don't get it either.
I just put on a pre-exchange bra sized 36C and it still fits me.
Even though I've had a lift and a reduction of my natural breast and have a 560 cc implant on the BC side!
I tried on a 34 C demi cup bra and it fits too and looks much better than before my surgery!

So Marie, you appear to size out the same as you look?
And... Athena, you think you look bigger than what your bra size says?
My head hurts! lol!
I actually like the "look" of my TE's right now for the most part and they are underfilled ..(they actually have "play" in them and are not rock hard) ...so I'm hoping I don't have as much "difference in look" from the implants because of that. I guess I'll just cross my fingers that I made the right decision of when to stop!

Susan I completely laughed out loud!!! Ha! - if I could apply this crazy-size logic to the rest of my body, I could get on board with that!!!
...could we come up with some line that's like that side mirror of your car that claims "objects in mirror are closer than they appear"...only something like..."don't mind my size B's dressed as D's!!!"
...yes, I agree with ya'll...I'll never fully understand this sizing-thing!

I like that Megan!!! "Objects in mirror are a cup or two smaller than they appear". lol!!!!

I don't get all this either. I was told that Victoria Secret bras run small so you can be a bigger size so...maybe it's like jeans. You wear different sizes in different brands lol. It does make it a bit harder to just run in a store and do the grab and go like I do. I like your cup and bra question Susan.

I love this thread!!!
I feel like I am a 44 year old waiting to go through puberty! Friends keep asking how big I plan to go....well damned if I know how Ill look with B's or C's or whatever! I tell them Ill just keep filling until I stay stop! My best friend asked if they will feel 'real'....I said 'gee, I dont have a wide range of experience with handling fuller boobs so I have to trust my PS and huband on that one.
If I go for a fitting and they tell me to buy a D I will fall over. Honestly I just want to be a full B (as of today....I might want more later!)...thats probably plenty for my frame and lifestyle.
I just think its time, after all Ive been through, to be Booby-licious instead of just Booty-licious.

I heard that about Victoria Sec bras too, soccermom! I don't have much experience with them as they didn't really have much of a selection for me in my pre-cancer size!
SuebeeBC, I get people asking me if I'm going bigger even though they know I am done with my fills. They think I will change my mind and have the PS stuff pornstar size implants in there! lol! I still haven't changed my mind on the "full B" wishful outcome
.... and I too am ready for my booby to match my booty!! lol! (though I wouldn't exactly say "match"... or else that really WOULD have to be pornstar size implants!

Susan - I just literally choked reading about the porn star implants...My DH is napping on the couch next to me and I was trying not to laugh and snorted!!! WAH HA HA HA!
V.S. just sent me a sale brochure yesterday with a 10 dollar off coupon on bras and free matching panties....very ill timed since I still have one shriveled little boob and one upside down salad plate under my other pec. Coupons expire this month. Grrr.
I promised DH that we would go to VS after all is said and done and he can pick out whatever he wants...LOL. I think its his little fantasy because just having a bag from that store (I like their underwear) drives him crazy!

Yes, I think my eyes went like saucers when the lady told me I'd need a D or DD due to the width - simply from me telling her that I had 400 ccs in there. I have tried on my old bras and they did not fit. But I really don't care what bra size I'm wearing. I only look slightly larger than before and my old clothes fit just fine.

Oh my goodness Susan you made me laugh so hard about pornsize implants!

I am having bilateral mastectomy/snb with immediate reconstruction via expanders 18 March 2011 and I have chosen to be a B or more likely, a small B, much as I am now. I, at one time in my life, was a D, but I have lost weight and I love my tall (6ft 1in) willowy look and I like the way my clothes fit and drape. My husband loves the look too! I know you will make the decision which feel right for you! Best wishes

SueB & Soccermom ~
Sweetjolie~ 6ft 1in! Tall and willowy indeed!
... I think smaller breasts make me look thinner ~ and I like the "look" of it more than the "busty" look personally. Now if only my backside would cooperate. 
Wishing you a smooth surgery and recovery coming up! 0 -
sweetjolieb-I love that tall willowy look. I hope all goes very smooth and easy for you!

Hi Ladies - just got back from Nordstroms at the Mall of America. I'm another tall one - 5'10 and 154 lbs. I was a 36A or 36B (on a good day). I have 375 in my TEs. Guess what size in a bra? 34DD. Really. Seriously. I look gi-normous. I am officially in the porn star proportions!!!! Called my DH and he could not believe it......
I, too, like the willowy look. My PS keeps saying trust me. Not sure now!
Good luck to all you lucky ladies having exchanges!!!!!!
Annie

This thread is so positive compared to some of the others! I love it! My opinion is that those that are the most disappointed are the women that started with really large breasts and, after reconstruction, they ended up smaller than they wanted. I love my small breasts and I only want to go to a B or small C from my A. Thanks ladies

Yesterday the nurse told me my new breasts would be much perkier than the old ones. I said I doubt that much, I was pretty perky due to my very dense tissue… sure enought she checked out the pictures and saw that I wasn't kidding. I think in most cases though this is true.
Anyway she agreed with me that I was a large A/small B. I have a feeling I'm going to end up as a true B. My PS knows but he's still doing more fills. He says he likes a "little extra" to work with. I have now had 5 fills and I'm scheduled for 3 more. He does go very slowly though. I swear last time I was already bumping my foobs into things because they are bigger than what I'm used to.
The one thing that the nurse told me is how to judge the size visually. You look at the bottom of the foobs from the side and see if they stick out/match what you want. Right now the TE's fill out higher up so you can't judge from the top.

Pornstar Annie ~ Just kiddin!
... so you got fitted for a bra with your TE's? I never thought of doing that! I did buy a bra for certain shirts to cover up any "nippage" (I had an NSM)...but I know it doesn't fit like it should!ArleneMarie ~ Hi small breast lover!
... love your bob!Perky Lago ~ My PS went pretty slow too.... as he said, "it's not a race"
... I bump my foobs into things too, though half the time I don't "feel" it. Crap! ...... somebody could be next to me in a crowd copping a feel and I'd have no idea! Interesting comment about judging the size visually from the (bottom) side. I still am debating with myself about high profile vs. mod profile. I kind of like the more "athletic" look of the mod profile...plus....our natural boobs look more like that (at least mine did
Plus... if I want the "high profile" look later... I can just wear a push up bra, right? 0 -
I don't think I want to go to Nordstroms lol

We seem to be scared of the big foob. Anyone think of this: Loose Boob0
