I'm a 29 year old mom, who had an augmentation September 2016, and much to my disappointment did not like the result. The implants chosen for me was Mentor HP 375cc textured. What bothered me about my implants was the fact that they look very small for my broad frame, and don't look proportionate to the rest of my body.
I'm 5'10'' and weight 172lbs, and I have always been a pear shaped woman. Never thought about going through a breast augmentation, until I finished breastfeeding my second child, and I was left completely deflated.
I'm looking forward towards having a more proportionate figure, and having breast that fill up a bra properly.

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago.
Since this is a revision, this time around my pain level was a lot easier than the first, even though the implants were bigger. I did feel a lot of discomfort on my sternum, but that was to be expected since the doctor told me he had to detach quite a bit of the muscle to accommodate my implants.
My previous BA was done by a different PS who didn't bother to measure me at all, and was Extremely conservative with the size. Now, I'm 5'10 and weight quite a bit (172lbs) and obviously the 375cc the previous doctor chose for me were very small. I was naive, and decided to trust the ps instead of doing more research, and now have to pay the price. Because I'm a lawyer a heart, I managed to create a concise argument, and got a full refund from previous plastic surgeon.
The current plastic surgeon was much more attentive, gave me his honest opinion, listened to my reasonings, and answered my million and one questions.
I chose the the Natrelle Inspira 605g Soft Touch Textured HP implants, because they were 14.5cm width which is what the doctor thought would be a good diameter for my BWD.
It took me 3 months to choose the size, but I believe I made the right choice.
From the beginning my doctor advised me to either get an anatomical shaped implant or get a lift with the round one. Because I was afraid of the anatomical ones, I opted for the round one and to get a lift later on after they settle in the pocket. I kinda regret not getting the anatomical shaped implants now, because I believe it would've yield the best results for me. Nevertheless, that shipped has sailed, and I have to move forward with my decision, and plan a lift a year from now.
I chose the most cohesive Natrelle offers in round implants (soft touch) because they maintain their shapes for longer, and it was important for me to have an implant that could last for 10 + years.

So annoyed at this site sometimes, I don't know how to post a photo update without having to type this nonsense. I forgot to include the Week 5 pic.
By the way for anyone wondering I used to have a Mentor implants, and so far, even though the Natrelle is more cohesive, I find it softer at this stage than my previous implants.

So here is a picture of me wearing my recovery bras last week, even though I'm on week 7, I'm still wearing mostly sports bras and my recovery bra for sleeping. They are becoming squishier by the day, and it's easy to push them together to create cleavage. I also have a decent amount of projection.

Just posting some pictures to show how they've changed a bit. Reminding whoever sees this that I'll be getting a lift later on.
