Hi. I am 19yrs, 5'3, 120lbs. Pre-34B. Post-34D. 421cc. I got Round Midrange (Style 15- Natrelle) silicone implants (unders) 9 months ago and they are droopy now. I told the Doc I wanted big breasts w/ cleavage but a little natural-looking. I am very disappointed and want to re-do asap. I thought they would be bigger and perkier..I am now thinking 500 or 550cc Mod+ or HP. My right boob is also a bit bigger and saggier than the left.. Advice/Opinions? The top 3 pics are mine and bottom is what I want.

Larger implants may not achieve what you are looking for

Hi Lana19, Looking at your photos, your result looks quite good. Your concerns as indicated in your letter, and how they will be affected with a larger implant, are outlined below: perkier: a larger implant will make the breasts droopier because of the extra weight; you cant fight gravity larger: yes, a larger implant will give you a larger cup size, and going from 421 to 600 will make you bigger but still might not be as large as in the photos you supplied asymmetry:... more

You have had more settling and sagging (ptosis) than would be expected with your original anatomy but please understand that it is impossible to predict that this would happen. You could consider a vertical breast lift but there is no guarantee that this would not recur and likely would change with pregnancy

Teardrop implants

Lana, from your picture, you have a very nice result. Before you jump right in and have a revision, consider the risks involved. Do you really want to go that big? If you think you are droopy now, wait until you take a photo of your breasts a few years after your 600 cc implants are put in. As stated in other posts, the biggest predictor of reoperation is reoperation. What does that mean? It means that your first revision could possibly be the beginning of a... more

Increasing breast size

You have a perfectly good result now given your starting point. But if you want to push it farther there may be long term consequences. What it will take is a wider, more HP implant than what you have. Just like a hairstyle though, your body might not let you get what you want.

Choosing breast implants

If you want to go larger, you have to be prepared for potential more issues with larger implants. Those all appear to be pretty larger implants.

More weight = more droop

Droopiness of any breast( an augmented breast is no exception) is a factor of time, gravity and breast weight. If you elect to place larger implants, you just going to increase the weight and make your breasts droopier. I think you have a nice result and would advise you not to revise.
