I have had 400cc saline implants for about 12 years, with a slow leak in my right one for about 5 years. Recently, the leaking one completely ruptured and I had a couple of consults, eventually deciding to go with Dr. Gruenwald in Baton Rouge, LA. I knew I wanted to have my implants replaced with high profile silicone, as my salines rippled badly and always felt like water balloons sloshing around on my chest. I also wanted to go a little larger, but didn't want to look like a [RS bleep] star, so I was shocked to learn that every single "dream pic" of boobies I showed Dr. G, he said were at least 550cc's...holy [RS bleep] that's huge! But he assured me that the boobs I was saying I wanted, were indeed "huge". I trusted his judgement but told him not to go over 600cc's. Well, I am 8 days post op with a whooping 600cc's of boobies strapped to my little 5'5" inch 112lb body and I LOVE them. They do feel heavy at the moment, but they look great and feel like soft, pillowy real boobs. I am having more post op pain than I remember having with my other BA's, I've had two previous. I am still taking pain meds, ribs feel bruised. Maybe they had to really pry me open to put that size of an implant in? Anyway, I am very pleased with my results! Love them!

Thank you! I was so scared to get 600 and thought I wanted 400 or 450, but every pic I saw that was in that range looked small to me!

I love your results..are they saline or silicone? You say this is your 3rd surgery...what were the other 2 surgeries for?
User Avatar
May 19, 2014
Thank you! They are 600 cc, high profile cohesive silicone. I've had two other breast augs which were saline.

Mine are also 600 hp silicone...yours look rounder then mine
User Avatar

Mine look round to me too. I had to get my boobie id card out and read it again to make sure.
May 20, 2014
I personally like the round look...i wish mine were like that. Let me know when u get your id card. Mine are. Hp...i had a revision and used to have moderate. Which were flat and round.

My card says high profile. I am glad they have some roundness to them. I was afraid HP was going to give me torpedo [RS bleep], but I wanted upper pole fullness too...so I guess I got both!
May 20, 2014
Yours are over the muscle?mine are under maybe that's why
May 20, 2014
Either way you are lucky ...that was the look I wanted
User Avatar
May 20, 2014
Yeah, mine are over. Aww I'm sure yours look great! We are always our own worst critics.
May 29, 2014
Why did you go over the muscle? I went under, am just curious....
User Avatar
May 30, 2014
Something to do with the muscle pushing on the implant and displacing it if you go under.
User Avatar
May 30, 2014
And of course rounder and more fake looking when going over. Lol
User Avatar
May 30, 2014
Yes, I think you're right. Overs give a rounder, more fake look.
May 31, 2014
Interesting. I went under, but I've heard that you can feel the implant more going over the muscle than under. Did you go over with the saline too?
User Avatar
May 31, 2014
No, saline was under but the rippling was still awful.
May 20, 2014
This is the look I want. I am only 5'2 100lbs though. Are they under the muscle?

no bruises on day 11? that is amazing~I'm doing a lot of research and people would tell me the month period is pretty horrible due to the bandages that very tight around your boops... do you happen to not wear them??

I can't remember how long I wore them. Breast aug, for me, wasn't all that painful. Brazilian butt lift is quite another story! Boob job is a breeze compared to that!
