Naturelle MF 410 tear drop shaped 40 years old 295ccs

ORIGINAL POST

Hi there, I've been thinking about this for years...

WORTH IT$7,300
Hi there,
I've been thinking about this for years. I selected the cohesive gel implant that has only been approved by the FDA since 2013. They're called the 410 made by Allergan in the Naturelle line. These implants have been the number one implant used in Europe and Canada for years. It seems the Europeans are always ahead of the curve when it comes to medicine, etc so I feel fairly confident in my choice. It is very important for me to get a natural look and not a "bolted on grapefruit" look. My Dr said he wouldn't go much larger than 360ccs for me because of my measurements, etc. I have chose the 335cc in the Moderate Hight, Full Projection. (MF335) I am 5'2" and weigh 120lbs. I weigh more than I look due to the large amount of muscle I have. I am quite petite and wear a size 0-4 depending on the brand. Most people don't think I wear more than 110lbs.
I just turned 40 yrs old and have two children age 18 and 15. I breast fed them for 15 months and 22months respectively. I keep my body fat fairly low, anywhere between 8-16% depending on if I'm doing bodybuilding competitions, photo shoots, etc.
I chose Dr Wigod because he has a lot of experience with this implant. He is also know for breast reconstructions for women who have had mastectomies. I figure if he can build a breast out of nothing he can do something with mine!
I'm not looking for [RS bleep] star boobs. I just want to get mine more perky and more aesthetically pleasing. Because my body fat is so low my poor breasts are just empty sacks. I have more pec muscles than anything which gives them some lift.

What a great age to get your breasts refreshed! I think you're going to enjoy your results. How have you approached your surgery with your teens? Here is a forum for women getting breast augmentation this December 2016. Feel free to join the conversation. Looking forward to your updates!

Read my review, I'm from Europe, I had anatomic implants for 9 years. Now I have round. I do not look like a Victoria Beckham and I prefer round. There is more girls like me on realself. Read our reviewsession befor final decision.

I'm sorry my mobile is correcting me and it's doing wrong;) it supposed to be: read our reviews before final decision. Best wishes and awesome results.

Thank you so much for your feed back. I will definitely do more research. Although I do feel confident in my decision I will look into it some more. :)

I am skinny, I had minimal amount of fat, I work out a lot so I am muscular. That was the reason that anatomic supposed to be better for me. They look really good on me BUT people that huged me could feel the firmness of those implants. My husband feel them not like real. The round one are squishy;) of course you can move a little bit I mean anatomic one BUT it's nothing if you compare them to round. There is many videos on youtube that compare anatomic and round. I watch only those made by doctors. Maybe tomorrow I will find time to send you link. How they behave on standing woman. They help me with my decision to go with round. I was scared, because I just knew only what I was told by the doctor. I've never compare them before. There is really more girls with pictures anatomic and round on them, just checked. Compare haribo gummy bear and a zip lock filed with jello;)

The video with comparison anatomic and round. Plus nowadays studies show that even doctors can't tell what kind of implants woman has from a picture.
Best wishes and best results for you.

Are you doing Under or overs? I have very developed pecs like you.. well similar chest in general. Breastfed 3 kids.. 23,24,26 months respectively... not much left.. but lived hem full of milk! Haha! Anyways I'm nervous about muscle/implant distortion with unders.. any advice? Thanks!
November 30, 2016
I am going under. (sub muscular) From what I have heard and read and hear from my Dr. going under is the way to go. Especially if you have low body fat. I'm not sure if many women do over the muscle anymore. Going over the muscle tends to have a more rippling effect, looks more "fake", etc.
I have my 2 week pre op this Friday and I have a ton of more questions for my Dr. The first apt feels like a wirlwind and I'm not sure if I asked enough questions.

Hi my3kidos, I just posted an update in my feed. I hope it helps answer some of your questions!
UPDATED FROM kathah
13 days pre

2 week Pre Op Decided on a new size

kathah
Today was my 2 week prior to surgery appointment. I was worried about going too large. We did some more measurements and Dr. Wigod and I decided on going to 295ccs. The reason being the dimensions of my chest. I measure 12 cm on the width of my breast. If I went to 335ccs I could potentially have "side boob". I don't want breasts coming out of my armpits. The 335cc measurement is based off a 12.5 width. This is all in the "MF family" (Moderate height, Full projection) My Dr. said he doesn't like the MM, due to looks, (Moderate height Moderate projection) and he thought the the MX (Moderate height, Extra Full projection) would be a bit too much of a shelf for me.
So my sizes, based off my measurements, are either 335ccs or 295ccs. I chose the 295ccs. The nurse told me that 150ccs is equal to one cup size. So this should put me at a large B cup or small C cup. This is exactly what I want.
I had the chance the feel the difference between implants again today. I am really confident with my choice to go with the Allergan Naturelle 410 implant as opposed to the Allergan Naturelle Inspira implant. They just feel more natural to me. Nice and squishy. My Dr. told me the reason the 410 implant can feel more "firm" in most women is because they have a bit of body fat and when you squeeze them you can feel the difference between the body fat and the firmness of the implant. I don't have much breast tissue or body fat so the firmness of the 410 will feel the most natural. Plus they have a much less chance of rippling.
I have done lots of research and the 410s are what is now mostly used in LA, Beverly Hills, etc. My small town of Boise has yet to hear about these implants so they're not widely known. They are, like I stated above, the number one implant used in Canada and Europe.
One thing I did find out though, is that I will have to have drains. That is only used in the 410 implant. And surgery does take a bit longer. But I think it will be worth it to get the natural look I am desiring.

Little over 24 hours since I had my surgery. I chose the 295cc Natrelle 410. They're the highly cohesive anatomically shaped silicone filled implant. I chose the Moderate Height, Full Projection.
Surgery lasted a little under two hours. I have two drains put in. It's not too hard to drain them. I am in a lot more pain today than yesterday. I may have over did it yesterday because I felt so good!
My breasts are very high and feel VERY firm. I am pretty bloated. I look a little bit pregnant. My face and ankles are swollen as well. All normal things after surgery.
