450cc, Gummy Bear Ultra High Profile....done and loving them!- Golden, CO

Thank you so much! Pre-pregnancy I was usually a 34D but sometimes up to a DD. Breastfeeding they were really large. Afterwards I had extra skin that just hung on my frame - as you can see from my before pictures (ah!). Now I am a 34 DD, but unless I am wearing a tight shirt, you literally cannot tell. I wear scrubs for my career and honestly no one noticed at work. I think being tall hides it well, but I have cleavage if I want it, and can easily hide them if I don't. I chose the 400's in my sizing, and because I wanted the anatomical gummy bears, my surgeon said I needed 450's. SO glad I listened. I have no fold over (which I did with my natural boobs, not a lot, but now I have none). What type of implant are you looking at?

What did you end up with?

I went under the muscle but chose extra high profile implants. One consult told me to get a lift, the one I went with said If I listened to him and took his advice on which type of implant - I would be happy with the result. I loved his confidence and trusted him.

I would go with under. I had overs and had rippling from day one and then developed cap con within a year.

I went 450cc under the muscle. I did extra high profile (doc suggested this to lift my nipples, and honestly so glad I did otherwise I might have had "Snoopy Boob"). I recommended my doc and my implant to a friend, she went and had them done. She said "I wish I would have gone up in size!" If your doc seems to be pushing for bigger, trust their advice. They do and see boobs all day!! They just know. His nurse sat down and said I know you're scared of them being big and floppy, but under muscles eat up so many cc's and she was SO right. I picked out 375cc in the office (I thought those even looked sloppy) and the doc said, Trust me 450cc extra high profile anatomicals. I closed my eyes and took the leap - SO SO glad I listened. Hope this helps.

so I went from an A cup to a DD with my current implants. I LOVE the anatomical. Honestly to look and move like real boobs. When i lie down they move well (I mean no armpit boobs but they don't stick up weird). The cleavage is awesome and soft. no hard borders if you know what i mean (no perfect circular boobs). I recommended them to a friend and her only regret was not going a bit bigger. I picked out 375cc and the doc said then I'm putting in 450cc, I freaked out but trusted him. They are amazing!

Eeek, that big of an increase would freak me out! I am really having a hard time with the shape choice! I was thinking 355cc Mentor Memoryshape?!? I don't want them to look crazy laying down or for my husband to feel like he's playing with implants! I want it to be as close to a boob as possible! Thanks so much for your feedback and I'm glad you love them! You look fab!

Thanks and good luck! Don't worry about having them stick straight up when you lie down. I had quite a bit of loose skin, so my implant just fall down into place when I lay down. Also, feel super soft and move and bounce really well, and pretty much started with zero natural breast tissue.

Thanks for your help!!!

how did things turn out for you?

I an 5 days post op and so far so good. They still have some swelling but I love them so far.

i learned that too looking at this site and countless other women's pictures online. I started to really freak out once we made our decision with the size. I thought the practice implants in the office felt heavy and droopy, and luckily I instilled my trust in my surgeon and went with their advice. 5 months out now and I love them even more!

push them up very easily! i'm now about 5 months out and they are SO soft, so realistic. They fall to the side when I'm sleeping, up to my collar bones when I lie down (just like real breasts would). I would recommend high profile gummies to anyone who is thin on top with very little natural breast tissue. SO SO happy I listened to my surgeon. I almost chickened out and went with Saline, but really liked that these ones do not leak, even if the shell should rupture.

Wow you have my dream result. I was the exact same size as you before nursing and while nursing, my "before" breasts looked just like yours did as well. I ended up getting the wrong implant (440ccs mod profile, dual plane) they are huge in all the wrong ways. I have no upper pole fullness, sure wish my surgeon would have given me the same advice he gave you. I could write a book on all the things I hate about my current implants. I'm thinking of just having them removed and starting all over. Are yours under or over the muscle? I have really bad animation with my submuscular implants so I'm considering subfascial or subglandular. I'm glad that the gummies can still be pushed up and that they aren't so stiff that they don't behave like normal breast tissue. Your result gives me hope for a better future outcome! Maybe I'll travel to your surgeon.

thanks!! they've dropped even more and finally softened up enough that I can push them around and almost get them together.....although I think it would take some miracle push up bra to get decent cleavage :)

Mine are finally softening up too, and thanks for the kind words! I think they keep getting better each week, although now three weeks out they could stop dropping :)
