I'm 4'11", 114 lbs, broad shoulders, BF 1 child and went from 34C to 34B but looked like an A. Had my BA on Sept. 2011 - inframammary, 350cc L&R, submuscular, smooth round, silicone, Mod+. After D&F I look like a C. Have good side boob, but fullness on top doesn't completely fill into a D cup, and I don't like wearing padded bras. I thought I wanted the natural look, but because of greed, I want the close-to-natural but fake look. Will it be a good decision to go with 475cc, HP?
Answer: Should you go larger?
It sounds like you got a nice result, but if you want to go larger, there is nothing wrong with doing it. Just bear in mind that it will cost you. Is it worth the cost? and do you think that will make you happy? Think about it carefully before jumping back into surgery.

Answer: Hard to look natural with 475 HP
Thanks for your question. Without examining you or seeing a photo it is hard to comment. Based on your description however, I think a 350CC implant M+ is probably the upper limit of normal with respect to your base diameter. A 475CC HP gel will be very round and unnatural. It will also likely be spilling out into your armpit. This will need to be better discussed with your plastic surgeon. Best of Luck!

Answer: Will 350cc Mod+ to 475cc HP Be a Good Idea?
475 cc HP may be an appropriate choice to take you to your goals. 125 cc may be enough to give you a D cup, but cup sizes are inaccurate. An exam would be better to help establish current anatomy and goals. Find a plastic surgeon with ELITE credentials who performs hundreds of breast augmentations and breast augmentation revisions each year. Then look at the plastic surgeon's website before and after photo galleries to get a sense of who can deliver the results. Kenneth Hughes, MD Los Angeles, CA

Answer: Beware of revisional surgery for in otherwise good result after breast augmentation.
The revisional procedure that you describe doesn't make much sense to me in less there is a clinical reason to reoperating. If your breasts were soft and natural, I would not put that result on the line with a revisional procedure that will change the breasts only modestly.

Answer: Best Breast Implant Size/ Profile for Me?
Despite your excellent description of body type and goals, it is not possible to give you specific advice without direct examination or at least viewing pictures. Ultimately, careful communication of your goals, careful measurements (dimensional planning), careful selection of appropriate breast implants and skillful execution of the procedure will be important steps in achieving your goals.
Generally speaking, the best online advice I can give to ladies who are considering revisionary breast augmentation surgery ( regarding breast implant size/profile selection) is:
1. Concentrate on choosing your plastic surgeon carefully. Concentrate on appropriate training, certification, and the ability of the plastic surgeon to achieve the results you're looking for. Ask to see lots of examples of his/her work.
2. Have a full discussion and communication regarding your desired goals with your plastic surgeon. This communication will be critical in determining breast implant size/type/profile will most likely help achieve your goals.
In my practice, the use of photographs of “goal” pictures (and breasts that are too big or too small) is very helpful. I have found that the use of words such as “natural” or “C or D cup” or "fake look" etc means different things to different people and therefore prove unhelpful.
Also, as you know, cup size varies depending on him who makes the bra; therefore, discussing desired cup size may also be inaccurate.
3. Once you feel you have communicated your goals clearly, allow your plastic surgeon to use his/her years of experience/judgment to choose the breast implant size/profile that will best meet your goals. Again, in my practice, this decision is usually made during surgery.
I hope this (and the attached link) help.
