500cc High Profile Silicone Implants

WORTH IT$6,000
Hi guys, so I have been saving for my boob job for a while now. I am almost to my goal and just last week I went in for a consultation with Dr. Greene. I was very pleased with his staff and I feel very comfortable about him performing my surgery. When I went in I gravitated to the 500cc implants, which I know is a large size but I am 5'7" weigh about 150 lbs and have very broad shoulders and wide hips. I'm hoping to achieve a large C or small D cup size from a 34-36 A to even out my figure. At first I chose the moderate plus profile because I thought I wanted something more natural. Now, after having had a chance to look at pics and reviewing others' results I am almost 100% sure I want the high profile. The dr described them as a little fakey which initially scared me but after seeing pics of them online I think it just looks like I would be wearing an awesome bra except all the time. I haven't really decided on a date yet because of timing with my job but I am thinking late aug or early sept. I am so excited I can't think of anything else! I'm completely obsessed with before and after pics! If anyone else has had similar sized implants I'd love to hear your experiences. I am spending more and more time here online looking through others' profiles. Hopefully I don't drive myself crazy with anticipation :P

5 months pre
And it's final!
I just called the Dr.'s office to set my surgery date! Sept. 18th I will no longer be a member of the itty bitty [RS bleep] committee! XD It's hard that it is 5 months out because I am just so excited about it but at least this way I know I will have plenty of time to really think about the size I want. My pre op appointment is set for Aug 14th so that's when I get to go back and try on all the sizers again. I will definitely be trying on some larger ones this time. I just want to be certain I chose the right size. Too much time to doubt myself lol. It's both a good and bad thing, I suppose. I had gone in with the initial intention to fill out a C cup but maybe I want to go for D's? I guess I'll just be looking at before and after pics until I get to go back in to see for myself. In the meantime I'll share some pics with you guys from my first visit that I had meant to put up a while back ago. The first is a saline and silicone implant. You can totally see the "rippling" effect that the saline would have if you look closely at the edges, which is a large reason I decided to go for silicone. The other pics are of me with 450cc moderate plus sizers. (originally I was thinking more of a natural look). Since we decided to place the implants under the muscle they tend to compress by 10%, which is why we were looking at the 500cc implants. The only thing making me think maybe I want to go larger is the fact that from the side view the sizers don't really look that impressive, and btw, these pics of me are not that great lol. I know they purposely give you a tiny shirt so you can see exactly how it will look but I normally would never get near a size XS tank top lol! So I kind of hate the way it clings but I have to share to really get any good feedback and to create the most accurate account of my experience. Tell me what you guys think! :D

go bigger.. I promise you wont regret it.. I am 5'9, 155 pds... I have HP saline implants...I have 650 and 675. it sounds big... but once you get them they will settle and you will be upset you didn't go bigger.. I originally went to my dr. asking for 400's he just laughed when I showed him all the wish boob photos I had brought.... I honestly wish I had gone with 800's.. its all about your body and what your frame looks good with!!! I have broad shoulders... I love mine and also if you have lots of breast tissue silicone implants are a waste of $$$.. I love mine..they are not fake looking or feeling in anyway!!! Good luck!!! I had mine done 1/4/14 and just in the last month have become back to normal!

That's awesome! What bra size did you end up with? And what bra size did you start with? I barely have any breast tissue which is another reason I really didn't want to do the saline. In fact I was told that most likely the rippling would show on me, and I believe it. I'm so flat chested! I definitely want to try on the larger sizes but I was thinking 600-650 so I would try the 550-600 because of the 10% compression going under the muscle. I just don't want to overdo it and I'm also concerned about the diameter those come in. I measured 13.2 cm across my chest and that is the exact measurement for the HP 500cc. Although I am sure it's ok to be slightly off, I wonder how much of a difference it would make.

Congratulations! I like the sizers on you. I think it looks great. I too am now thinking going bigger. I like the way 450 looks on you, and we are about the same size. So at my pre op I will be trying on bigger sizers. I would rather be a little too big rather than a little too small. Lol. The wait IS killing me. But it will be here before we know it.

Lol, thanks! yeah when I go in again for my pre op I will be trying on bigger sizers. I also would rather go a little too big than too small. I think at first I may have been scared to overdo it but now I'm thinking if I do it I want to go for it! The 450cc's look ok but I definitely want to try some more on. I think I will also begin to make a booby wish album. That way I can visually see what I like and take it with me to my next appt.

I don't know why this one popped up in my email, as I'm only interested in getting these objects out of my body. I do remember the excitement of getting them though after reading this, and nobody could have talked me out of it...unfortunately. While you're waiting for your appointment to arrive, read through the implant removal stories just so you are fully aware.

I have read through a few revision stories on here, although admittedly not that many. Some stories sound pretty bad. Why are you getting yours removed?

In my 20's I was happy for the "Girls" to enter a room first and never have eye contact made during conversations, but now I just long to wear a strappy summer dress without an industrial strength bra. It is really hard to find things that fit, especially bras. They make me look heavier than I am, I can't sleep on my stomach, they get in the way, and I am constantly aware that I have two man made foreign objects on my chest. And mine are only 390cc! Just waiting to save up almost double what is cost to put them in. The originals were not as bad as I thought ;)

Not just the revision stories, the removals. Look at the emotional journeys all these women have gone through, the ones that didn't have any physical complications. K, I'm off my soap box, I figure if I can save just one it's worth it :) http://www.realself.com/reviews/breast-implant-removal

1 day pre
Surgery tomorrow afternoon!
So it's hard to believe that the day has come this quickly, especially since I set my surgery so far in advance! But it's finally come. I started taking my antibiotics today and after midnight no eating or drinking anything. I'm starting to get nervous about it. I just hope everything goes smoothly and that I wake up with minimal pain. I took a week off of work for the recovery so it's kind of like a mini vacation. My bf took off from work too so he can take care of me. I'm just worried about not being able to workout. I had just gotten a good running routine going too... Hopefully I'll be able to just get right back to it after a month. I am a little worried about the new girls getting in the way but I'll jump that hurdle when it comes. Anyways, thought I would post up some pre op pics. Since I put up pics already with my face in them, I won't do any full [RS bleep], sorry. But here are a few in a spaghetti strap so you can get an idea of what I'm starting with.
