  • Posted to Has anyone had breast implants, been unhappy, and had them redone within 6-12 months? Did they turn out better or worse? on 25 Jul 2012

    That really helps because you actually experienced going up approximately 2 cup sizes at 200cc per cup size. You did not get the HP implant? I am narrow to medium chest with small frame. Dr. gave me high profile so they project out a bit & I also got a lift at same time so may go with the 75 but then tell myself to just go for 100 but now may discuss a non- HP implant with him. I see him today for pre-op. Thank You Makenzie.

    I just read on another person's message that their Dr. said that 150 cc was a full cup which adds to my confusion. I also think if you are looking to fill out what you have it would depend on whether it is low or high profile (again from my readings). if 100 cc is 2/3 more on me would be a bit big. I agree that I went to small but I am a small girl and very athletic so was worried about that and they are a good size but am now thinking about your experiencfe with the shrinkage after 3 & 5 months (I'm only 7 weeks) and then they would be just a little bit too small. I am very concerned that the 100 c is more than a half cup though and go back and forth between 75 & 100 more. They say it is such small differene however I analogize that 1/4 size increase to having a shoe that fits almost just right but is not the right fit so it is uncomfortable and then that 1/4 cup is significant. I must decide as my surgery is next week August 1; when is yours?.

    I have under muscle mentor high profile silicone. I was small to mid B and alot of loose skin so had lift and augmentation with one side 225 and other 275. I wore a B and now wear a C cup and that is what I wanted but it is a small C. I am also thinking that they will get smaller over time as it is only two months. I have revision in one week and am very confused.
    My Dr. said it is not worth doing back in for on 50 cc as that ( in his opinion) is only a 1/4 cup and that 100 cc is a half a cup but I am feeling like 100 cc would be more than a half cup and after reading what you wrote it would be 2/3 cup and that might be too big for my frame and do not want to be a D! to clarify, your doctor has said that 150 adds a full bra cup size?

    I agree that you might as well go up 50 cc. My Dr. did a good job with symmetry with 225 on one and 275 on other and they look good however I was looking for a full C. My Dr. said that only 50 cc more would not make a visible difference as that would be only a 1/4 cup and stated that 100 cc would bring me half cup up. I am concerned about going that much up as I am thinking that it would be more than 1/2 cup. How much did your breast size diminish after five months? I am only two months out and not sure as to the amount of cc increase because I am 5ft 4 and small and very active/athletic however also want to be larger than I am now and I have about a week to decide! Has your doctor told you what cup increase to expect with 50cc?

    I had my first every lift and augmentation on June 5, 2012 which came out beautiful but just smaller than i wanted. I was furious with my ps for not being clearer on sample try out of 275 cc implants over my breasts with bathing suit top because I was told they they would be "slightly smaller" however with me, they came out smaller than slightly smaller. I am going in for a revison on August 1, 2012 just under 8 weeks from initial surgery. My Dr. Says it is ok however I am athletic and afraid to go above 350. He says not worth it if not at least 100 cc increase. Anyone have any thoughts? I only want 1/2 cup more
