Hi there I am having my current breast implants replaced after 12 years. They have not caused me any trouble but after having a recent mammogram it was discovered that my right implant has ruptured so its time to replace my implants.
I am 44 years old, have 2 children (well actually teenagers aged 19 and 15). I am 5 foot 7 with an athletic body and weight 60 kilograms.
I am so worried about my revision surgery because I still like my current implants.
I have McGhan 495cc high projection with full height tear shaped implants.
The cost to have my implants replaced in New Zealand is around $18000 so I am going to Thailand as the cost is only $7000 there.
I am thinking I will go for slightly bigger implants this time. I have been considering getting 600 or 650cc implants this time.
I will post some before photos next couple of days.

Hi there
I have some photos of my current implants, 495cc tear shaped with full height and full projection.
I have been told I need to replace with the same type of implant to avoid having a lift so I am thinking of getting slightly bigger tear shaped implants eg: 550cc or maybe 600cc.

They do look really great. I'm sorry you have to get them replaced. I bet you'll be just as happy with a little bigger though :-)

Yeah that's the problem I am facing I love my breasts and I am worried they won't look as good when I get them replaced.

I've had mine for 14 years and have been happy with them for the most part. I want silicone for softer feel. I'm having my revision tomorrow. I have 420cc saline getting 575cc silicone tomorrow. How soon will you be having your revision?

Hi there wow thats exciting. Are you getting tear shaped or round implants. If you dont mind me asking what height and weight are you? I am getting my revision done on April 26.

I'm 5'3 weigh 140lbs. I'm not getting the tear drop. I do like how they look on you though. I'm getting round just to be on the safe side. I have thin tissues.

I am not sure why they told you that you need a lift, I don't see that and if you go bigger especially. I would be happy to talk further--sending you a PM!

Yeah thats what I thought. I have been told I can only have the same implants - tear shaped. If I want round implants I would need to have a full lift as well.

Oh dear, seems like you have hit a low spot

Hi there no way I was being silly when I posted that comment and I am not sure how or if I can delete that post. Dont worry I am all good no problems my end but thanks for your thought cheers
Hi there! Thanks for sharing your story with us. Did you have your original procedure in Thailand?
No I had my original surgery in Auckland but in 12 years the cost to have my breast redone in Auckland has gone up to around $18,000 compared to $6000 in Thailand.
I have done my research and decided to go there and have my surgery and a holiday at the same time.
cheers V:-)
