“SOOO happy with results I cried tears of joy and i just had surgery today!!!!!!”
Spent: $4,400 in Tallahassee, FL
I am also getting a peri-areolar lift with the augmentation and am thinking about going for a pretty small implant (225ccs?) because I don't want to end up too big. I am 5'7" and weight about 150. I have a good amount of breast tissue and am going with sub-pectoral saline implants. I want a very full-natural look but have seen very natural results with high profile. My doctor mentioned moderate. I keep going back and forth from getting the smallest moderate profile implant...but then I think what if I end up loving them and wish they were bigger???
All you ladies who have had them done? are you happy? would you do it again...what is your height/weight and what size did you end up getting? Did you get moderate or high profile implants? Do they look natural and did a lot of people notice that you had it done? I don't want to get the surgery done and be unhappy...either going in for a revision to change to bigger implants, or going in to get them out completely :/ Any input would be awesome!! ThanksUpdated on 5 Dec 2011:So I am 10 days out from my surgery...breast augmentation/lift. I chose to go for 325cc moderate plus saline unders. I'll be updating everyone after surgery! :)Updated on 14 Dec 2011:Well tomorrow is the big day..I'll try and update tomorrow night :) I am starting to get more nervous because I am having so many procedures at once... Wish me luck!Updated on 15 Dec 2011:Well i made it through..got home about 4 oclock and I am in love. the implants are already pretty soft and not sitting too high. even the nurses were impressed how beautiful and natural they looked already. already thinking maybe i should have gone bigger, especially bc they are going to shrink but I am 100% happy with my new girls. I will post an updated review in a few days!Updated on 16 Dec 2011:posted some before pics...sorry they're not too clear. At post op on Tuesday I am going to ask my surgeon for copies of my official before and afters...Updated on 16 Dec 2011:ok i now have some serious boob greed going on... did anyone get bigger after they dropped and fluffed? :/Updated on 18 Dec 2011:Ok girls, after trying on suits I am definitely suffering boob greed...i wanted to go for the natural fuller look but love the way they look now. how much do you think they'll shrink and drop? If they drop any more I feel like they'll be saggy even though I had a lift..can you girls take a look at the pics in the bikini tops and tell me what you think...if i went to small/just right/if they'll be too small when they drop and fluff?? :( I always said I would never be the girl getting a revision to go bigger but now i'm not sure! Anyone with experience, let me know how much you think they are going to shrink after swelling etc... thanks!!Updated on 18 Dec 2011:also...my left has always been fuller and even after the implants its still noticeable.. i talked to the surgeon about this and he took the 325cc salines and filled them both to 325...i thought that was odd bc they usually overfill a little to prevent rippling and also to compensate for my smaller girl..lol

Dr. Kirbo and his staff are excellent. They are very kind and I trust them to give me the best possible care before, during, and after surgery. I'll never go anywhere else. See my other BBL review for more details.




It depends on what you're going for, but 225 ccs sounds small for your height. That size is usually used for petite, super slim women. But then, yeah, the bigger you go, the harder they fall as you age, so keep that in mind, too. What does your surgeon say?
I'm 5`7 155lbs. When I went in, my surgeon just looked at my hips and told me he could use the 550ccs on me and would look proportionate bc of my wide hips. He didn't even have to do a lift, the implant filled me out perfectly. I love them!
I would say, trust your surgeon in regards to the ccs. Let him know exactly what you want in regards to fullness and he'll know what to use.
BUT! Alottt of women always wish they've gone larger and want to go back for a size like when they were swollen. I know I wish mine had stayed like !
Ill be wishing you a speedy recovery!
I haven't lost any feeling in my nipples though, but i've literally been having dreams nightly of them like shriveling up and falling off :/ lol
Good luck with your surgery!!!! It's soo exciting. I LOVVE the way mine look now but I know they're gonna shrink. I'm going in for post-op tomorrow so I'll talk about my options with him then. I would say go around 100ccs bigger than the sizer you pick...especially if you go under the muscle. keep us updated!!
