WORTH IT$4,000

I love my new breast implants - very pretty and only two weeks out - zero pain or bruising.  I had mine inserted through an incision around the areola and under the muscle - I went from a 32B to a 32DDDD with 450 cc Moderate Plus.  I had them done in La Jolla - the doctor was fabulous.  I also had a short scar facelift at the same time - I am 45 yrs old and look 35!!!!

Once again Thank you's provider

Once again Thank youJune 22, 2008

I am now 4 weeks out and the implants are terrific - they fit my body structure and look surprisingly natural.  I have been shopping at Nordstrom after getting a proper fitting - they carry bras especially made for augmented breast. 

I recommend to anyone considering the procedure not to go too small - try on slightly larger implants than you think you will want or you may be disappoinnted afterward.  A 23 yr old friend of mine got the 450 cc high profile implants - she has a slightly wider build (back  & waist) and now wishes she got the 500 cc.  My doc was suggesting 325 cc high profile for me and I chose 450 cc moderate plus instead.  The moderate plus are rounder implants that don't stick out as far .  .  . I think they look more natural and then you can go a little bigger!

Once again Thank youJuly 6, 2008

Here is an update - I love these breasts - they are very comfortable - no pain or problems so far.  Now I am 5 weeks out. 

I highly recommend trying on different implant sizes inside a special bra and under your own clothes before choosing what size you think you want.  I was sure the 450 cc moderate plus was going to look like a [RS bleep] star but in the end they look really nice and proportional to my figure.  I suggest going bigger than you think because you will wish you did later. The doctor should give you a special bra for this purpose.  I found trying on two different sizes at the same time for comparison sake worked super well - I then put on a tight fitting shirt so I could see what it was going to look like.  

I went under the muscle for more support - right away my implants were soft and flexible.

Hi I am happy that you are happy with your new boobs :-). But I do not agree with saying go for bigger ones than that you intend to do. Is it not the aim to have your new breasts as naturally as possible. I do not see the point of having these enormous boobs, they are a pain in the backside....
Once again Thank you

They shrink a lot and mine are 40% smaller now than they were in the picture above. . . my doctor told me that to maintain the fullness, I should have gone bigger - so, now I am going to redo them as soon as is allowed

Oh I see, how bizar. Why do they shrink? I thought because it is manufactured material it would stay like it is... I am sure they still look good now they are smaller. But..I guess it is what you are used to now...

It is not that they "shrink" but the initial swelling from the procedure subsides. When I had my BA done in March 2008, I LOVED them and had no bruising and thought I had no swelling; however, in a couple of months they were not as full as they were initially. This is because the swelling subsides (as I mentioned before) and they settle into the pocket. Personally, I know wish I would have gone bigger but need to save up the money. I went for a natural look but feel it is smaller than I could have gone bigger still looking natural.
