I LOVE my Boobs

WORTH IT

I am 1 week post op from my revision (remove/replace) with Dr. Corbin and I couldn't be happier. I am in LOVE with my boobs. I swapped out my 445cc moderate profile, silicone for 650cc high profile, saline. They look absolutely perfect. I am so happy.

Backstory: I saw Dr. Corbin a year ago for a lift revision and implant exchange. He had done my previous lift and implants 14 years prior, and I was ready for a revision of that lift and needed to switch out the implants because it was about time. I had always had saline, but decided to go with cohesive silicone because I thought it would give me more upper pole.

April 2019 I have the lift and implant swap. Surgery goes great, as always. But as they start to heal, I notice they are a bit "bottom heavy", and not giving me the look I had hoped for. I expressed my concern to the office and they made note. Unfortunately we couldn't do any revision work until at least 6 months out. So I followed through with all of my regular post op appointments.

The office was great with communicating and Dr. Corbin and Dee wanted to make sure I was happy. We ended up doing a revision 1 week ago. I switched back to saline, and went with a higher profile and a larger implant for more volume. My breasts now look fuller and not so bottom heavy.

I couldn't be happier. I really appreciate the fact that the office wanted to work with me in regards to a revision and make sure I was happy, as Dr. Corbin truly cares about his patients and their results.

You look great!
What was the deciding factor between saline and silicon?

Hi! And thank you! All my prior breast augs had been saline, but with my last lift/implant replace I switched to silicone because I thought the highly cohesive implant would give me more upper pole fullness. It absolutely did not. I also hated the way they felt. They were way too squishy and looked very distorted when I bent over (most likely due to the high cohesive-ness)

This year, I switched back to saline and I much more enjoy the way they look and feel (I prefer a bit firmer of an implant). It also makes me feel better knowing that if anything were to go wrong with the implant, I would generally know right away, whereas with silicone, they can silently rupture and it takes a mammogram to be able to see if there are any problems. Insurance doesn't cover those, and it gets very pricey (if you do the math of how often you will need them, and generally how long your implants last, 10-15 yrs, it adds up...around $7-$10k)

They look great! Did you go above the muscle or under the muscle?
I'm patiently waiting for my revision. I did not achieve the upper pole, high profile or size that I was expecting. My surgeon and staff are wonderful... Now I'm curious if gel verses saline could've been the reason.

Mine are under the muscle. I was also surprised to find out that a 450 gel is visibly not the same size as a 450 saline. They look noticeably quite smaller. So its important to note that its not an even swap. You will definitely need to size up if going from saline to silicone gel (and wanting the same size as before). I was so disappointed in the size of my silicone implants. They did not fit my body at all, and looked so much smaller than my previous saline.

10 days post op and still very happy. 650cc HP saline on the right filled to 750. 550 cc HP saline on the left filled to 600. You can also see that my lift scars from last year are looking pretty good. They healed very nicely.
