Sorry to hear this! I'm having the same lift in 90 days and this is excellent advice.

I wish someone would've gave me this advice. I had one friend who said go bigger and another one who wasn't supportive about the surgery at all, so I was kind of just on my own with this. I found this website after my procedure. If you're getting implants as well, please do your research and make sure your surgeon understands exactly what you want. I think in my case my surgeon did what he thought would look good, yet it's not what I wanted. Don't get me wrong, he did a good job with the scars and boobs look nice but they are huge. I'm always wearing sports bras now trying to hide them. Not to mention how uncomfortable they feel when I workout. Ugh! I hate it.

When I workout it's the worst feeling ever. Literally feels like I have water balloons on my chest and just get on the way. I'm thinking of actually getting them removed completely and not having any implants at all. That's how bad it is. OMG I'm totally venting on here.

What is your weight and height and what size did you start at and then end up with the 400cc? I am getting a bl/ba and can't decide on size!

Hi! Please do your research. Talk to your doctor and have him show you different options and ask him to explain the difference and what will give you the look you want. When I had my surgery I was 135 5'5 and was a B cup I had very saggy breast because I lost about 30 pounds and I had a kid 10 years ago. So I wanted a lift for sure with fullness. Never did I want the big port star boob look which is kind of what I have now. I am now 145, 5'5 and my bra size is D cup. I had 400 cc under the muscle (feels like he put 600), high profile. I think I would've been happy with a moderate profile 250 cc's. A small C cup would've been ok for me I am kind of tall. Really regret getting this size.

It's okay thank you for your comment. I just want to put it out there so other girls won't make the same mistake. Now it's going to cost me around 5,000 just to fix the mistake. I do have pictures I will upload later on.

Hey I wanted to reach out to you, and say your not alone! In my last post, I talked about how heavy they feel indeed,almost at any given time not just when working out. I got 457 and am thankful I didn't go any bigger. It's a big shock on your body and difference in just about everything now from fitting into garments to restiscted/uncomfortable movements. At times I'll have to wear two sports bras to get the support I need... Craziness

Thank you. Yeah I feel exactly the same, they get on the way when I workout and even bathing suit shopping was horrible this summer, had to get 2 extra large, like are you kidding me?? I didn't want them that big. I had asked 350's he suggested 400 I guess because of me height. But I think he put bigger ones. Ugh just want them out already.

So after a year, of my surgery and being fully healed, I've decided that I will be going for a breast augmentation revision. I workout a lot do cross fit and also do weight lifting and my breast literally bug me, they get on the way and just feel so uncomfortable. My breast are just way too big for what I wanted (I used to think I was just too swollen and eventually they would go down but they didn't). I will be looking for another doctor to have the procedure done next year. I will def be getting smaller implants and a moderate profile. Maybe have a little lift because my breast are sagging again (I think this is because the implant is too heavy). also I will be having the armpit lipo again because the fat is still there and now the sides are uneven. The right side has more fat it in which is gross. My word of advice to you girls is DO YOUR RESEARCH! Find out about implant profiles, sizes and make sure you are specific to your doctor on exactly what size you want to be. I regret not being specific about the size very much. Now I have to spend another 5,000 or so to get the right size. Good luck ladies and don't rush into this surgery remember that you'll be stuck with the surgery for ever.

Have u thought of going to Tijuana? Dr. Salvador Pantoja is awesome and he's a 10 min can ride from the boarder

I'm note sure very skeptical about it. I spent 8,000 already and I'm not even happy. I want to make sure this next surgery will be worth it. Too much money. But I will research that Doctor. Is he on here? I'm thinking Dr Kat in Beverly Hills but she's expensive /:

Hey! Good luck on your search for a new PS for your revision. I'm not sure if we can share other sites but check out justbreastimplants dot com.. They have a q&a section with surgeons as well. I noticed that some that are not registered here are over there on that site. It may help you narrow down your search.
August 1, 2016
Will you post an updated photo?? I'm getting mine done in a week and a half and am really going back and forth on size. I want a small D but doctor thinks they will drop sooner than if I get an avg C. I also have lost weight and nursed my now 13 year old son. It would help to see what they look like a year plus down the road. I really appreciate you posting.

Yes I will post pictures soon. They do change a lot after a year. Just make sure you voice exactly what you want, it's not always what the doctor thinks. Make sure you get the right size, don't rush it and ask all the questions you can. If you want a D cup depending on what size you are now, just think that every 200 cc is almost a cup size bigger.
August 6, 2016
Thank you. My surgery is scheduled for this Thursday. And I definitely don't want to go too big. I wear a 34c but definitely don't fill it out. :/

My suggestion is ask the doctor exactly how big will you get once they drop and settle. 34 C is already on the bigger side. I would get no more than 300 if I were you. But discuss it with your doctor if you haven't already made up your mind. Good luck and post pictures. I hope you have a better experience than me.

hi there, read your post while laying in hospital recovering from a revision. 12 weeks ago i had a lift and 300cc high profile mentor tear drop gummies placed under muscle. I HATED THEM - bigger than i expected and i didn't like the forward projection and weightiness. but the thing i really started to hate was their firmness and activation when i exercised. i had them removed today and replaced with 250 moderate plus round over the muscle. they already seem much softer and the little bit i can do with my arms feels much better already. i really couldn't stand the big hard implant moving everytime i flexed my pec - even cleaning my teeth. good luck with your next choice

Also guys! I totally forgot to post about my stretch marks. (I've been so busy with school!) I got some stretch marks from the breast aug so I started using a cream to smooth them out, but they actually disappeared! Lol I'm soooo happy. Here's a before and after pic. The cream is called Strivectin

I didn't use anything for the scars. I didn't think I need it since my left boob you can't even see the vertical line at all. But my right boob is a disaster looks like a burn scar. I will have a revision done next year because of that. I found a doctor already.

Thanks for the info. And I hope you find the right side that make you happy. I guess I was lucky I read a lot and some women are not happy too big or too small I've alway been a dd so that's what I stayed with and I had to get a lift too.

Initially I was very happy. But now I regret it. I wish I had done more research. The doctor and team I went too were not very informative. Had I known what I know now, I would have def made more questions and requested exactly what I wanted, not just allow the doctor to insert what he thought would look nice on me.
