22y/o - 5ft - 325cc High Profile Silicone

ORIGINAL POST

Breast Augmentation REAL & HONEST Review

$9,000
I'm 22y/o and now 3 months post op! I got 325cc high profile silicone, I'm very petite and 5ft. Im writing an honest review as I only see 5 star reviews for Dr.Pugash , hence why I went to him. However, I wish I read more honest reviews unless I was the only one who felt this way or had this experience.
I felt like Dr. Pugash didn't fully understand what I wanted and he did what he thought would suit me. I told him I wanted boobs on the bigger end and more volume on my top. He reccommended me 275-300cc and I decided with 275cc at first because when I tried on the sizing for the first time, it felt big on. He told me to stick with 275cc and to not think about it anymore when I got home. Im so happy i decided that 275cc was too small and went in again to try 300cc. I wanted to try even bigger but Simone told me it would be too big for my frame and didn't let me try on 325cc. I was now more familiar with sizing and felt 275cc was way too small for my liking. During sizing it's extremely hard to tell and I'd recommend go bigger! I'm so happy the day prior to surgery I emailed asking for 325cc. They ordered the 325cc but I thought it was odd to tell me it'd be too big for my body, but allowed me to order it. Now I'm 3 months post op and felt like I could've definitely gone bigger to at least 350-400cc. If you're looking for a very natural doctor this is your doctor. However spending almost 12k, I was hoping for HIGH profile that I asked for but it went down a lot and looks too natural for my liking. I would probably go to another doctor who can achieve my desire look on my next set.

Dr Carr is amazing ! He is in Vancouver . I’ve got to him twice . First 540 cc moderate ( I brought a pic of Pamela Anderson ) they were spot on . My set set I got 750 cc and brought a picture and he did it exactly like that . I did started to see stuff about breast implant illness and eventually explanted only 1.5 years after . Currently 32 A but I have another consult in august to see him and I’m looking for 350 ish moderate profile ( I use this profile as I don’t like the center gap ) I like my implants to look round and no space in the middle and Dr Carr has always done that to a T ! He isn’t afraid to go bigger as he knows women always want them bigger . I ended up with 750 cc and he recommended 800 cc …. I liked the way they look but honest review , large implants suck . They are so heavy and cause so much pain . This is why I explanted and now choosing a smaller size . Give it time because they do drop and fluff and after about a year they change A LOT ! I’m 5’5 135 lbs and very very fit and lean and and the very large implants cause a lot of issues with the muscles and the skin ( stretch marks ) give it a full 2 years before a big decision.. I fully regret going bigger and explanting ( I realized I should have kept the size I had )
If you had breast implant illness why are you getting them put back in?
I didn’t actually have breast implant illness . I convinced myself I did from reading too much online , talking to too many women and friends who explanted . Everyone made it seem the anxieties I was having and literally making myself sick with worry would go away and I would feel amazing. I gave it 2 years to heal and recover as per doctor . Sadly I have zero tissue left , only nipple and I have adhesions so they’re very janky . I’ve tried to accept it but I just feel like shit about myself . I can’t even fit a 32 a properly and I’m curvy and very muscular so the flat chest makes me feel manly as it looks like I have pecs . I have surgery sept 22 . Putting in a small c so that is 335 full profile natrelle silicone . I don’t discount other women who have been sick from implants but my issues were all in my head and seemed to be from anxiety vs actual illness .
I am 5'2 110lbs, got 310cc with another doc and regret it so much. They look extremely small. :(
thanks for sharing, I am almost 3 weeks out and I agree with you on trying on the sizers it's so hard to tell. I went into my doc wanting more natural as Im also small, very petite 5'1" 98 lbs and was a 32A. initially, we were looking at 300-350 max. I debated and changed my mind 3 diff times, finally after showing pics to my dr and manager who was amazing I told her I was leaving it in their hands as they knew what they were doing but they knew I didn't want to look like dolly. I ended up just before going into the operating room changing to a higher profile and ending up with 385. I was terrified they were too big after hearing the number but they are settling nicely and I am very happy so far.
