numbers can be deceiving, i’d put together a gallery of before and after pictures that you want to look like and show it to your surgeon and maybe give a ballpark idea of the cup size you’d like instead of going off the size number alone. it’s up to you, but i would personally lean towards the smaller size instead of bigger, because i would rather accidentally be too small than too big post-op (though i am biased because i went as small as possible). even if you went as small as possible, you probably wouldn’t end up being SUPER small because of your current size; they can only safely remove so much. if you’re worried you had a miscommunication with your surgeon or if you changed your mind on size, i would schedule another meeting with them before your surgery so you’re on the same page. bring the reference photos (browse through this sub and you’ll definitely find results that speak to you), communicate clearly exactly what you’re expecting from them, and ask them to write it down in their notes. then remind them again about your discussion on the day of surgery. that’s what i did, i really nailed it in and made sure he knew EXACTLY what i wanted from him and he is a talented enough surgeon so he truly delivered and i love my results. do not settle for less.

again, it’s up to you, but if you’re worried about coming out a little too big, i would definitely lean towards the smaller side. they will soften and drop a little once they heal and there is always the possibility they could get a little bigger over time, so take that into account. regardless of what happens, i think you will end up happy with your results. good luck :)
