495 Cc to 750 Cc Revision. Best Decision Ever!
Boob greed...I went BIGGER!!!
Revision surgery: 11/19/24
The photo on the left is my original "wish pic" I shared with my doctor back in January before my first surgery. He recommended 495cc implants (under the muscle), saying they should achieve the look I wanted. But they didn’t quite get me there. I started to get boob greed after reviewing my original wish pics and comparing them to my 495cc results.
Fast forward to October—I did a ton of research, met with my doctor again, and decided to go bigger with 750cc silicone gel (under the muscle). I'm now one month post-surgery, and let me tell you, I finally got the results I was dreaming of! I couldn’t be happier.
Looking back, I wish I had known that I’d lose about 15% of the initial volume once the swelling went down around the 6-month mark from my first surgery. And I didn't know just how big you have to go in order to achieve the look of most wish pics you see online. And that realization was a big factor in deciding to go larger this time.
So when I sat down with my surgeon last month, he measured my base breast width at 12.5 cm. He had some initial concerns that 750cc implants might be too wide for me. I told him I didn't care if I had some side boob, so we proceeded with the surgery just before Thanksgiving.
Well, let me tell you, ladies—I could have gone even bigger! I barely feel any side boob at all.
For reference, I’m 5’7” with a long torso, so this size is practically perfect for my frame.
Many doctors will advise against going this big, often because they don’t want to deal with complaints down the road or the potential risks that come with larger implants. But as long as you find a skilled, board-certified plastic surgeon (not a cosmetic surgeon—there is a difference!), your plastic surgeon can help determine the best size for your anatomy. Don’t be afraid to get ultra-high-profile implants like I did. They’ll drop and fluff slightly over time, so having that full upper pole makes a big difference in keeping their shape over time.
Also, don’t let anyone scare you with the myth that larger implants significantly increase your risk of capsular contracture. That’s outdated information! Recent studies show the risk only increases by about 2%, and other factors—like smoking or a history of cancer—play a much bigger role.
Capsular contracture is now known to be more about post-op infections due to improper sanitation and poor operating room practices, not implant size.
So here’s my advice: do your research, find a board-certified plastic surgeon who knows what they’re doing, and don’t let fear hold you back from getting the results you truly want. I’m so glad I took the plunge, and now I’m absolutely in love with my results!
