I went ahead with my revision at exactly six months post-op. I debated back and forth for 2-3 months on which way I wanted to go. On one hand, I could have gone with adding more saline; my PS said my implants could hold another 50-75cc. Or, I could opt to have them completely replaced with moderate plus implants; which is what I wanted in the first place.
As the time got closer for my revision, I noticed that the right breast felt like it was becoming a "deflated water bag", even though it didn't look like it. That breast had the larger implant, but looked normal from the beginning (i.e. didn't look like it dropped much at all). Three weeks before surgery date I had my pre-op appointment and tried on new sizers that PS's office had just got in. They gave me a getter idea of what I was looking for. Decided on full replacement from moderate to moderate plus saline. Plus, the PA informed me that it was not worth the money unless I went for at least 75-100 cc more. So, now have moderate plus saline, 425cc filled to 450 on right and 445 on left. Am so much happier since they look and feel better.

1/7/12
I am now 10&1/2 wks post-op. Just after I posted my last pictures, my left breast finally dropped to where it looks even with the right. They are healing nicely and the soreness and tingling have subsided. I had my 2 month post-op appointment last week and discussed with my ps about a revision. I like my breasts; however, am still unhappy about the type of implant he put in. As I stated before I wanted the moderate plus profiles put in, but instead he put in moderates. As a result, they have dropped more than I want. I have another post-op appointment in February and if they do not drop any further, I will be content. But I have already scheduled a revision just after my 6 month post-op date to exchange for moderate plus. Which is what I asked for in the first place.

I did not take any photos before my surgery; however, I'm going to email my doctor's office and see if they can send me copies they took before my surgery.

Swimsuit season will be a blast! Glad you were able to get this done. Thank you for sharing your experience here on RealSelf.
Please email me your PS information.
TootieGirl,
My PS was Dr. Sherrill at Dalton Plastic Surgery, located in Dalton, GA. They are very reasonable price-wise. Not to mention he gives a 5% discount for procedures paid in cash. He's more conservative than some doctors, which is why I did not receive the moderate plus profile that I asked for. I go i for a follow-up after Christmas, which I plan to discuss my options for either adding more saline or having him replace with a higher profile that I asked for in the first place.
