Dr. Murphy was my second consult, but I really liked how straightforward and honest he was. Like "you're here to talk about implants, let's cut to the chase..." kind of guy, so ultimately I chose him. The office is nice and clean, the staff are nice. Not really great about answering back emails quickly, but when I called and spoke with gals (Natalie and Barb) the response was immediate - so I think they are just so busy with little time to answer emails. The nurse that I first met with and who took my before photos seemed cold and my husband and I had got a weird vibe, but then after my surgery she was much more personable and chatty (just seems like when you meet someone and take before photos you are vulnerable and this would be an opportune time to be overly nice and warm). Most importantly, I trusted Dr. Murphy and his decision about the implant and size. He sat me down, listened to what I wanted for a look and my goal, and then said which implant he would use, but it was still my choice. I had serious second-thoughts rigth to the last minute and Barb sat down with me and assured me Dr. Murphy is honest and knows what he is doing, and she assured me the size would be perfect. Well, they were both right! These two were exceptionally great and my only reason for not giving 5 stars across the board was some emails went unanswered and I didn't get a whole lot from my after care apts. (But I didn't need very much either....). I would strongly recommend Dr. Murphy to friends and those I care about, he does excellent work, far better than even the before/after on his website give him credit for. Excellent job, would tell anyone to have a breast augmentation there (and competitive pricing as well). And trust me, I did my research in regards to online reviews and others work. He's amazing and trustworthy.

OMG! They look amazing. I don't want big boobs but I'm 5'10" and my surgeon suggested 450. He may have even said 475 I can't remember and should have wrote it down. Anyway, 450 just seems huge to me. I've been told 375-395 and now 450. Freaking out a bit even though I trust my PS's opinion. Yours look fantastic. I think you are my official dream boobs! What size were you before and what size are you now?? Thank you for sharing your journey!! :-)
Thank you so much! Pre-pregnancy I was usually a 34D but sometimes up to a DD. Breastfeeding they were really large. Afterwards I had extra skin that just hung on my frame - as you can see from my before pictures (ah!). Now I am a 34 DD, but unless I am wearing a tight shirt, you literally cannot tell. I wear scrubs for my career and honestly no one noticed at work. I think being tall hides it well, but I have cleavage if I want it, and can easily hide them if I don't. I chose the 400's in my sizing, and because I wanted the anatomical gummy bears, my surgeon said I needed 450's. SO glad I listened. I have no fold over (which I did with my natural boobs, not a lot, but now I have none). What type of implant are you looking at?
What did you end up with?
Love your results! It looks beautiful! I sein one doctor so fat and he recomended a lift. I m afraid if I dont do it it wont look good. But my boobs are more deflated and droopy then ur before. Did u go over or under muscle???
I went under the muscle but chose extra high profile implants. One consult told me to get a lift, the one I went with said If I listened to him and took his advice on which type of implant - I would be happy with the result. I loved his confidence and trusted him.
I know it's been awhile since your last post but was wondering if you went over or under the muscle? I'm scheduled in about 4 weeks and am thinking 350cc silicone hp over the muscle. But have breastfed 2 boys.
I would go with under. I had overs and had rippling from day one and then developed cap con within a year.
I went 450cc under the muscle. I did extra high profile (doc suggested this to lift my nipples, and honestly so glad I did otherwise I might have had "Snoopy Boob"). I recommended my doc and my implant to a friend, she went and had them done. She said "I wish I would have gone up in size!" If your doc seems to be pushing for bigger, trust their advice. They do and see boobs all day!! They just know. His nurse sat down and said I know you're scared of them being big and floppy, but under muscles eat up so many cc's and she was SO right. I picked out 375cc in the office (I thought those even looked sloppy) and the doc said, Trust me 450cc extra high profile anatomicals. I closed my eyes and took the leap - SO SO glad I listened. Hope this helps.
So how are you liking the anatomical implants? I've had a couple consults and he doctors seem to have such varying opinions of them! I.m also afraid of them being to firm or looking odd laying down (not behaving like a boob). Now that you've been on the other side what do you think? They look great by the way! I was told by one doctor they really only look good if you want to go up from an A to a B cup but I want to go to a C....ahhhh decisions decisions!
so I went from an A cup to a DD with my current implants. I LOVE the anatomical. Honestly to look and move like real boobs. When i lie down they move well (I mean no armpit boobs but they don't stick up weird). The cleavage is awesome and soft. no hard borders if you know what i mean (no perfect circular boobs). I recommended them to a friend and her only regret was not going a bit bigger. I picked out 375cc and the doc said then I'm putting in 450cc, I freaked out but trusted him. They are amazing!
Eeek, that big of an increase would freak me out! I am really having a hard time with the shape choice! I was thinking 355cc Mentor Memoryshape?!? I don't want them to look crazy laying down or for my husband to feel like he's playing with implants! I want it to be as close to a boob as possible! Thanks so much for your feedback and I'm glad you love them! You look fab!
Thanks and good luck! Don't worry about having them stick straight up when you lie down. I had quite a bit of loose skin, so my implant just fall down into place when I lay down. Also, feel super soft and move and bounce really well, and pretty much started with zero natural breast tissue.
Thanks for your help!!!
I just found your review, thank you for sharing I am 5ft 10 and have been trying to find someone who got that implant. I have been to 2 consultations and both doctors picked the same implant and sizing. I ended up scheduling my surgery for the end of may and was wondering how yours are settled in.
how did things turn out for you?
I an 5 days post op and so far so good. They still have some swelling but I love them so far.

Looking at your photos and you look really awesome! You have great results and looks like a good size! Happy you got what you wanted! I've learned that PS can be a hit or miss, not everyone comes out of a BA with great improvement!
i learned that too looking at this site and countless other women's pictures online. I started to really freak out once we made our decision with the size. I thought the practice implants in the office felt heavy and droopy, and luckily I instilled my trust in my surgeon and went with their advice. 5 months out now and I love them even more!
So can u push the girls up easily or do u still have to have a padded miracle bra?? (New to the site, considering BA, gummie overs)
push them up very easily! i'm now about 5 months out and they are SO soft, so realistic. They fall to the side when I'm sleeping, up to my collar bones when I lie down (just like real breasts would). I would recommend high profile gummies to anyone who is thin on top with very little natural breast tissue. SO SO happy I listened to my surgeon. I almost chickened out and went with Saline, but really liked that these ones do not leak, even if the shell should rupture.
Wow you have my dream result. I was the exact same size as you before nursing and while nursing, my "before" breasts looked just like yours did as well. I ended up getting the wrong implant (440ccs mod profile, dual plane) they are huge in all the wrong ways. I have no upper pole fullness, sure wish my surgeon would have given me the same advice he gave you. I could write a book on all the things I hate about my current implants. I'm thinking of just having them removed and starting all over. Are yours under or over the muscle? I have really bad animation with my submuscular implants so I'm considering subfascial or subglandular. I'm glad that the gummies can still be pushed up and that they aren't so stiff that they don't behave like normal breast tissue. Your result gives me hope for a better future outcome! Maybe I'll travel to your surgeon.

10 days out, stitches out.....dropping well I think....

Had the stitches out today and the nurse said I could start my scar healing; went with Scar Away silicone sheets from Amazon. Cleaned the scars with hydrogen peroxide first and put on the first silicone dressing. Not sure what to compare it to, but it certainly doesn't seem like it'll hurt. I think they are dropping nicely, my right seems to be stubborn and hanging out a bit higher and firmer. The sides of my boobs have finely started to soften up and are less sore.

They look fantastic, very natural!
thanks!! they've dropped even more and finally softened up enough that I can push them around and almost get them together.....although I think it would take some miracle push up bra to get decent cleavage :)
Hi. I came across your review from a comment you made. You look fantastic! Great results. I'm almost 9 weeks out. I have gummy bear too textured shaped classic base moderate projection. Luv them! They def soften. They were really firm at first but now they are soft & squishy. They feel like real breasts to me and my hubby. I'm so happy for you. You look amazing and they'll just get better with time :)
Mine are finally softening up too, and thanks for the kind words! I think they keep getting better each week, although now three weeks out they could stop dropping :)
