29yr old 5'10'' 172lbs Change 375HP for 600ccHP

I'm a 29 year old mom, who had an augmentation September 2016, and much to my disappointment did not like the result. The implants chosen for me was Mentor HP 375cc textured. What bothered me about my implants was the fact that they look very small for my broad frame, and don't look proportionate to the rest of my body.
I'm 5'10'' and weight 172lbs, and I have always been a pear shaped woman. Never thought about going through a breast augmentation, until I finished breastfeeding my second child, and I was left completely deflated.
I'm looking forward towards having a more proportionate figure, and having breast that fill up a bra properly.

If u have a wide chest, he shouldnt have given u High Profile, thats what creates the gap!

I know, but when discussing revisions with this new doctor he did tell me to go for a moderate profile, but I was going to lose too much projection. So I settled for the same width I was going to put in moderate, chose high profile, and will have a lift once they're fully settled. The first plastic surgeon messed up badly because he didn't bother to measure my bwd to begin with. :-(

I had my surgery 5 weeks ago.
Since this is a revision, this time around my pain level was a lot easier than the first, even though the implants were bigger. I did feel a lot of discomfort on my sternum, but that was to be expected since the doctor told me he had to detach quite a bit of the muscle to accommodate my implants.
My previous BA was done by a different PS who didn't bother to measure me at all, and was Extremely conservative with the size. Now, I'm 5'10 and weight quite a bit (172lbs) and obviously the 375cc the previous doctor chose for me were very small. I was naive, and decided to trust the ps instead of doing more research, and now have to pay the price. Because I'm a lawyer a heart, I managed to create a concise argument, and got a full refund from previous plastic surgeon.
The current plastic surgeon was much more attentive, gave me his honest opinion, listened to my reasonings, and answered my million and one questions.
I chose the the Natrelle Inspira 605g Soft Touch Textured HP implants, because they were 14.5cm width which is what the doctor thought would be a good diameter for my BWD.
It took me 3 months to choose the size, but I believe I made the right choice.
From the beginning my doctor advised me to either get an anatomical shaped implant or get a lift with the round one. Because I was afraid of the anatomical ones, I opted for the round one and to get a lift later on after they settle in the pocket. I kinda regret not getting the anatomical shaped implants now, because I believe it would've yield the best results for me. Nevertheless, that shipped has sailed, and I have to move forward with my decision, and plan a lift a year from now.
I chose the most cohesive Natrelle offers in round implants (soft touch) because they maintain their shapes for longer, and it was important for me to have an implant that could last for 10 + years.

Exactly what I just told you in my response to you in my page. I read Inspira hold up and will last longer in a lift because they are more cohesive. I want my third time if doing it to be right and hopefully my last. My. V fears I'll still be unhappy and not get what I want.

Oh, one more thing, weren't you concerned about the cancer link to textured implants? My surgeons didn't advise textured because of that in addition to no ultra high profile or extra full projection due to increas in rippling.

So annoyed at this site sometimes, I don't know how to post a photo update without having to type this nonsense. I forgot to include the Week 5 pic.
By the way for anyone wondering I used to have a Mentor implants, and so far, even though the Natrelle is more cohesive, I find it softer at this stage than my previous implants.

Are u happy with the look??
April 11, 2017
My main concern, was finding implants wide enough for my frame, that didn't look overwhelming. The next step a year from now will be to get a lift. I decided to do it this way because as you saw, the first implants were too small, and had I had a lift done with them, the previous plastic surgeon would've taken out too much skin, making it difficult to accommodate bigger implants without having the extremely tight look. I want the end result to look lifted but soft, not 2 tight balls on my chest, so the lift will cater to these implants. I'll post a pic with a sports bra on, so whoever wants can see I can finally create cleavage with these implants, and fake a nice look while wearing a bra.
Anyway, I'm a week post-op tomorrow and will post pictures for comparison. Still look rather distorted because of early stages, but I'm much happier with the size. I was afraid to go "big", and ended up regretting, because I didn't get the proportions I needed. Good thing was that not a single soul suspected I had anything done as you can notice on my last pic :-(
He gave me 14.5cm as the answer so from there I could have chosen from the same brand Natrelle Inspiras (I have textured which are slightly larger)
the moderate profile 520cc
or Mentors moderate + 525cc
the Smooth Mentors HP in 650cc
or the Natrelle Inspira Smooth also in 650cc
But since mine were textured, Natrelle makes the 600cc in that range 14.5cm
So... if your doctor believes that based on your measurements the implants you chose would best give you the results you discussed, don't be afraid about what other girls are getting. But, if your bdw is bigger than the type implants you chose, I would reconsider.
