29 Years Old, 19cm BWD, 6"2. Custom Made Implants?

ORIGINAL POST

Hi girls! (sorry for my english, i'm not completely bilingual)
First of all let me introduce myself. I'm a 28 years old french tall lady who always wanted a beautiful an full natural looking breast. But mother nature decided otherwise. Plus, being tall have always been a struggle, to find clothes, to feel comfortable in various places, and to find a surgeon also, for sure...
The result of my first surgery was a disappointment. Here in France,surgeons rarely wants to go over 500cc.So that's what i got for my first attempt to get the breast of my dreams, an it was a nightmare at first. The implants it received was unsuitable to my frame, so too narrow and not projected at all(i got 500cc low profile silicone implants) and the left implant was implanted lower than the right one so my breast is assymetrical now with a double bubble effet on the left side.
So I learned to love myself, covering the imperfection the way i can depending on the circumstances, even in front of my boyfriend.
But now 9 years have passed , and I think it's time to have a revision since my left implant causes me pain an discomfort.
So I met Dr Plovier, at BeClinic in belgium. And i'm little disappointed, not because of him (he seems to have a really good reputation, and he was really understanding with me), but because of the possibilities that can be offered to me. I don't really have the choice for the result...
Let me explain: I'm really broad in comparison to smaller women so I need broad implants.Actually I have 15.3 cm diameter implants and ideally i need 19cm.
So the doctor have just 2 choices fo me:
1050 cc standard implants who are narrower than my actual ones (15cm) but with more projection, or made to measure ones who are 1600cc, 19 cm ans 9.5 cm in projection.
As i want a natural looking breast, with not so much projection, I don't know what to do... The first implants, for me are a "no" because of the diameter, I want a larger breast but not so much in projection, I don' know if that make sense...it's hard for me to explain. And i'm afraid that the projection will be too much with the 1600cc ones...I feel stuck...
The price for the surgery with 1050 cc standard implants is really reasonable,no one is surprised.But the price of made to measure ones (surgery included)... ... ...I don't know if I will be able to have such a crazy amount of money...(9000euros)
I'm just feeling bad one more time not being in the norm, but that's the way it is...my health is good , that's all that matters after all.

This sounds like a tough decision. It might helpful to share some pictures so the community can give you better feedback. You're right, most doctors say a tall women can gracefully carry a larger implant. You might find this this forum helpful and interesting...it's for tall women with implants. Good luck with your research and please keep us updated!

Bonjour Mojito59! Your English is great :-). I will be following your posts. Sure hope you can get some answers and also can get the implants you really need and want. I do speak French if you ever just need to vent in French in any posts. I'm no expert on this breast augmentation topic so I won't be any help on technical questions/issues. You are so right about good health...but it's nice to hope for the extras from time to time :-).

Bonjour BoobsOnTheHorizon! Merci de m'avoir répondu! Ce que je cherche surtout ce sont des avis, pour m'aider à faire un choix, je vais bientôt ajouter des photos. Au vu du prix, je ne pourrais de toute façon pas me faire opérer prochainement. C'est très gentil de ta part de me suivre, il est vrai que l'on à besoin de soutien dans ces moments là.Se sentir bien par rapport à son corps et prendre soin de soi sont également des sujets très importants.C'est vrai que je suis plus à l'aise en parlant français! Merci!

Bonjour! J'ai rarement l'occasion de parler francais ces jours-la, donc merci de m'avoir ecrit en francais! ( Je ferai plein d'erreurs en ecrivant le francais et je ne sais pas inserer les accents utilisant ce clavier - desolee!). Je pense bien que tu vas trouver des responses utiles des medecins sur ce site car en general je trouve que les femmes americaines sont plus grandes que les femmes francaises (au moins j'ai senti plus grande que mes copines francaises quand je passais du temps en France!), donc on esperait qu'ils auraient plus d'experience avec les grandes femmes :-). De toute facon, s'il te plait, tiens moi au courant! A plus tard!

Bonjour!
Ton français est très bon! C'est vrai que je e sens très grande ici, a tel point que parfois, on me demande si je ne suis pas un homme...Les gens sont tellement "limités" ici...Les chirurgiens que j'ai vus auparavant refusaient même de m'opérer, ni même d'aller au delà de 500cc. Pourtant je suis en très bonne santé. J'ai eu une réponse d'un médecin américain qui me déconseille ce volume d'implants, mais étant plus grande que la moyenne, j'ai besoin d'implants plus grands, cela me semble logique. De plus, je fais de la musculation, je suis loin d'être mince! Mais il est vrai que ce volume, 1600cc fait peur, tout les chirurgiens ne le font pas, et ne savent pas ce que cela donne au final. Comme j'aimerai habiter aux Etats Unis! Je vais voir un autre chirurgien lundi pour avoir un autre avis, je te tiens au courant sans fautes! A plus tard!

Salut! Est-ce qu'ils utilisent le Vectra 3D la-bas? Peut-etre cette technologie te permettrait a te voir avec plusieurs tailles d'implants. J'ai vu deux medecins dans le meme bureau (je suis au Colorado) et ils utilisent le Vectra 3D. Je l'ai trouve assez utile mais pas parfait. J'ai aussi fait des "rice sizers" ce qui m'ont vraiment aider a decider que 450 cc etait probablement trop grand pour mon objectif. Je cherche une taille d'implants moyenne/modeste mais toujours aussi naturelle que possible. Je suis assez grande donc j'ai peur de choisir une taille qui est trop petite pour moi (mais j'ai tres peur d'une taille trop large car je suis assez sportive et je ne veux pas trop sentir mes seins quand je fais du sport comme je n'ai jamais vraiment eu des seins!). Meme que les deux medecins sont dans le bureau, ils ont des avis assez distincts et chacun prefere un type d'implant different...ca ne m'aide pas!!!! Apres ma deuxieme visite la-bas (aujourd'hui), je suis en train de rechercher mes choix (encore une fois!). Ce soir j'ai lu des postes sur Real Self pendant 5 heures...oui j'obsede un peu. J'ai beaucoup de confiance dans le deuxieme chirurgien que j'ai vu mais je veux en meme temps bien comprendre ce qu'il propose/recommande. La date de ma chirurgie est provisoirement prevu pour le 7 juin donc j'ai assez de temps pour reflechir sur la taille, etc. Merci de me tenir au courant de ce que tu apprends chez ton deuxieme chirurgien!

Salut! tu vas bien? Il me semble qu'il possède un système équivalent, mais on ne me l'a pas proposé. C'est à dire que ce volume est un implant "fabriqué sur demande" donc peut-être que ce n'est pas prévu pour ce volume... Hier, je me suis fait des "rice sizers" aussi, avec 1.1kg de riz de chaque côté (vu que les implants font déjà 500cc), et même si je ne trouve pas ça si lourd, je fait beaucoup de musculation et j'ai peur qu'un tel volume m'empêche de faire certains exercices. Même pour m'habiller, j'ai peur que cela devienne un enfer! Ce n'est surement pas exactement le vrai résultat que les sizers donnent, mais c'est réellement énorme, même si sur ma silhouette ça ne choque pas, de loin... Avec les sizers, cela fait comme si chacun de mes seins étaient bien plus gros que ma tête, je ne m'attendais pas à ça! Je vois le deuxième chirurgien ce soir, histoire à suivre!!^^

Bonjour.
Hope this finds you well. I saw Dr Plovier this week for a breast lift and larger implants. I am a curvy girl too and he had suggested 1050 implants for me but like you I am questioning the size but I am going trust his decision. I have been researching him for a long time and after meeting him I trust him. I hope you find what you are looking for.
April 25, 2016
Bonjour!! Thank you for your answer. Yes, i think that we can really trust him. I haven't seen a bad review about him, ans i feel that he really knows what heis talking about when it's about bigger implants. Motiva 1050 cc implants seems to be too narrow for me infortunately, i'm really scared 1600cc will be too heavy and make me look fatter. When will your surgery be? I will follow you!

Hello again,
My surgery is the 14th July. I am so excited, I cant wait.
Have you booked a date yet ? He is really honest and I don't think he would give you something that wouldn't suit you. Hope we can stay in touch. Let me know how you get on babe x

Have you been able to get any closer to your goals?
September 28, 2017
Not really, i feel so sad, because i don't think that even if the solution exists, i can't find a doctor to meet my real expectations. i need larger implants, and they all agree that my BWD il way larger than 15cm. But they all try to sell me 15 cm implants that are too projected. And as I have seen, when implants are too narrow and very projected, the result is not really good in my opinion...

I am 183lb and have the widest implant in and the doctor did tell me to go bigger but I was scared at the time and didn’t know what I know now. I have 525cc saline by mentor he told me to go 700 at least because of my body shape but I settled on 525cc with my body they look completely natural however now that it’s been going on three years I agree I should have went the original seven or more as my body week could have handled it. Please reach out to me if you have any questions

Some news!

Hi!
I was away for a long time, but i was waiting for an appointement with the surgeon who did my first BA.
I don't really know what to do now! let me explain:
She told me that 1600cc will be far too heavy to keep a good result for the long term...Well,
we all know that.
At first she told me that she wasn't ready to go aver 500cc with me. Then , she agreed that my implants weren't large enough to fit my frame. but like i said before, 19cm wide implants doesn't exists.
So she asked Sebbin about their "made to measure" implants, and she told me that she was agree to implant me 900cc silicone that are 16cm wide and approximatively 6.5 cm in projection.It's their widest implant apparently.
But, the only problem is that she don't want to correct the "double bubble" effect on my left breast.
I'm a bit lost. I think that it's a better option, as I don't want too much projection and weight. But my fist concern is that "defect" on my left breast...
What do you think, what would you do?
what could I do to convince her to correct the defect?
Thank you!
