I am 23 years old with pretty deflated c cups..they used to be a lot more full and I was happy with them, but now the top of them have no fullness and I hate it...





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?

MsChangy 10 Nov 2011
well i told my surgeon that I didnt necessarily want to go bigger, just to make them more full. obviously i do want to be a little bigger but not too drastically. so do you think i should push more for about 300-325? Thanks for your help!

I'm 5'3" and 124 lbs. I started with a B cup, my ps and I decided to go with 480cc saline moderate plus above the muscle and now I am a 34DD. I think it's a perfect fit and so does everyone else. Good luck :)

I am 5 6 & 150 lbs. I have 375 and 400 cc silicone. I feel they are perfect for me. When I go to work, you can't see anything buy when I put on my fitted shirts watch out! You will love them!

Meant to add I was a 34A, now measuring 34D.

I ended up with extremely deflated breasts after my weightloss. I'm talking about nipples pointing directly down and I could fold my breasts up in half if I wanted. Lol

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 !
MsChangy 12 Dec 2011
i'm 5' 7" and 155 too! i chose 325 ccs but mine aren't flat as you said yours were..im afraid i went to small for the money i am spending..oh well, surgery is thursday, too late now haha. i dont want to be much bigger..just full and a little bigger
Springfield5246 14 Dec 2011
Good luck

SassyMomma (RealFriend) 16 Dec 2011
I was the same way. Loved mine immediately the day of surgery. Congrats!!!
MsChangy 16 Dec 2011
thank you so much!!

I feel like mine got fuller after they dropped. The bras I bought a few weeks ago are too small now. Need to go shopping again!
MsChangy 17 Dec 2011
good because i keep looking at them and they just look like a swollen version of what i had before haha..well maybe a little bigger. some people say they get a little bigger, some say smaller so ehhhh idk. thanks for your answer though!
SassyMomma (RealFriend) 17 Dec 2011
Well a few people have noticed them now so they are definitely bigger. I can't wait to show them off in the summer. They should be just right by then!

MsChangy 19 Dec 2011

waiting to exhale 19 Dec 2011
lmfao you go gurl and when it is time for me to get the gurls done I am going with bigger! you do look awesome though! Love the pink bathing suit top chow!!
MsChangy 19 Dec 2011
hopefully the drop and fluff makes them look bigger...i've heard yes and no...have you heard anything??
waiting to exhale 19 Dec 2011
I think it just depends on your body!!!! lol I am excited for you either way !!!!!
CheekyGirl4 19 Dec 2011
I think they are a perfect size on ya! Honest! They go so well with the porportions of you body hun, perfect! I'm so excited I get my breast augmentation on January 19th! Why did you choose saline?? My doctor keeps pushing me for silicone... How are your scars??
MsChangy 19 Dec 2011
(see below, i forgot to write it as a reply). I don't know how my scars are because I still have the steri-strips around my nipples. Im guessing they don't look too good though because my actual nipples are almost purple and bruised and one of them still has some red blood oozing.

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
MsChangy 19 Dec 2011
I got saline because I had a lot of breast tissue to cover the implant so they would feel natural. my doc said even if i got silicone they wouldn't be any more natural looking or feeling. There are some advantages to saline vs. silicone too in terms of incision...especially because I was having an areolar lift...depending on the size silicone you get, the incision needs to be bigger b/c they come pre-filled.

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!!
waiting to exhale 19 Dec 2011
changy you look good hun! I do think you look perfect but if you feel you want to upgrade that is ok too!
MsChangy 20 Dec 2011
thank you! I love them..maybe it's just the pre-fluff boob greed! lol
