Had a Lift, and Now Time for Some Implants!

ORIGINAL POST

So, I have a review for my breast lift under that...

So, I have a review for my breast lift under that section. I am a 22 year old female. I decided to get a lift due to saggy breasts. I was spewing out of a DD bra at 171 pounds, and after losing 50 pounds my breasts went down to about a B/C and had some asymmetry. I had my lift December 22nd, 2012. My doctor likes to do surgeries separately due to various factors (better results, better healed scars, safer, etc.) So, I agreed to wait for 1-3 months to heal fully from my lift before undergoing a second surgery for implants. I had my second follow-up surgery today and we had a consult for the implants. I told him I want to be a DD, and would like silicone (memory-gel) implants. He agreed that the results will be great. He believes the implants will be between 600-750 CC. He will be ordering all the sizes in between to get them to where I want them. Right now my surgery is scheduled for March 22nd. I am very excited! Here is my breast lift review: http://www.realself.com/review/reno-breast-lift-finally-lift-after-years-waiting

I forgot to mention some stuff...

So, I wanted DD cup size anyways, but my doctor told me from my very first consult for my lift that if I got implants they would have to be somewhat large because I have a wide gap between my breasts.

So, to get a good cleavage, have some rounding on the sides, and be a decent size I have to go for an implant between 600-750 cc.

When I went home I researched 700cc implants and it seemed like that was just HUGE, but I found out that a 700cc silicone implant will look much different from a 700 cc saline implant. From my own research women report when they traded out their saline implants for silicone the silicone ones look much smaller. So, I have decided to trust the judgement of my doctor and I will make a final cc decision at my pre-op.

I am currently 125 pounds, 5'7", approx a B cup.

Your lift results are great! I hope getting the 700-800s gives you the cleavage you're hoping for. Thanks for sharing your story here in the breast aug community!

I agree that your lift looks good! My PS told me that trying on a 300cc will actually end up being a 280cc inside. I think that's where the "I wish I would of gone bigger" came from. I also wanted saline because it's better if it leaks but my PS told me majority of woman come back and replace them. Plus they would not use a product that is not healthy for us. I'm so excited for you!

I would agree that is saline leaks it can be safer, but sometimes not. There have been a few stories of fungus growing inside of saline implants, which if it ruptures can cause really bad infection throughout your body. And, incidence of capsular contracture and rippling are higher with saline. But, those are my personal reasons of why I am going silicone, many women never have any complications with saline.

I am very excited for you and for me! :) Yay for hot tatas.
