New, Bigger 600cc upgrade from 339cc!- Dallas, TX

After almost 2 years when I got my first BA, I'm finally getting them redone, and LARGER! I was always unhappy whenever I looked at myself, or whenever I had to wear a push-up bra, to look like I truly wanted to look. I just had my surgery on July 3rd, and this time, I got 600cc Mentor HP. Just a refresher: my last implants were Natrelle 339cc mod plus. I went to the same PS (I couldn't imagine going anyplace else. The entire staff is wonderful). I had been saying I wanted them redone, but I really didn't want to go through the surgery again. But, on June 30th, early that morning, I called and scheduled a consultation for that afternoon, and was able to have the surgery done 3 days later. I'm one of those people who can't be given too much time to think about certain things, because I'll end up changing my mind. If my mind is made up, I have to do whatever it is, as soon as possible. LOL!

Day of surgery went, pretty much, the same as the first time. Nothing different there, except, they cleaned my old implants and let me take them. Ha! The soreness didn't last past 2 or 3 days, since the pocket was already created for the first set (he had to make it slightly bigger to accommodate the larger implants). The main nuisance now is the incision is itching like crazy! My stitches will be removed on July 17th, and I can't wait! Otherwise, a this point, I'm just waiting for them to "drop and fluff." Hubby said I had better LOVE these this time...NO MORE! I am happy with my new size, and I wouldn't do it again until my 10-yr change period comes around, so no worries, Hubby! :-)

Hubby isn't here to take my pics right now, so I took one, so you all can, somewhat see the difference. I will have him take more at a later time, in better light, to give a much better view. By the way, my stats are 5'8 and 168lbs, so 600cc do not look the same on me as they look on many women. So, for all of you ladies who are thinking of getting them, make sure your doctor measures you accurately, and you are not simply choosing a size that someone else has, assuming you will have the same look. The same size implants could be a DDD on one woman, but a C on you.

Hi, does anyone still experience some soreness at this point (7 months) after surgery? In particular, my left breast still feels tender. What's funny is, it doesn't feel that way everyday; maybe 2 days out of the week. Is this normal, or should I consult my P.S.?

Hi all, it's been a while since I have provided an update, so finally, here I am. On July 11th, it will be 7 months since my augmentation, and I am not at all satisfied. Although my breasts are bigger than they were, they are not as big as I wanted them to be. I feel I achieved almost the same result that I was able to achieve with a really padded, push-up bra. I tried on a bustier top, and I looked the same as I did before, when I wore one with a push-up bra. I do have a couple of maxi dresses that I can wear without a bra, and look fuller than I used to, without needing to wear one for fullness. I wanted to be the size I was when I tried on the silicone, but had no idea I would be smaller after they were placed under the muscle. I didn't want to walk in the room and my breasts got the attention before I did, but I also didn't want to hear people say to me, "I can't tell you had anything done." (I have heard that one quite a bit) I have a close friend who also wants an augmentation, and she just saw mine for the first time. She said to me, "When I look at yours, I see I will need to go bigger than I think I want to be." I was crushed, because she was insinuating, my breasts were not much bigger than they were before.

Well, with all of that being said, I just had an appointment a few days ago to get another augmentation, but, of course, bigger. The doctor told me, at the time, I couldn't go much bigger because of the tightness of my skin. So, now that my skin has loosened (as you can see in the photos I just added), he said he can give me the look I want with 475 or 500cc high profile (FYI, I currently have 339cc mod profile). I will likely go with the larger size, just to be sure I get what I want, since I will have spent nearly $13,000 on breasts. He said I will have a nice look, but still won't look like a "video star." I will likely wait until the end of the summer to get them re-done. I will keep you all posted after I schedule my surgery.
