26yo 5'9 140lbs Exchanging 300cc Saline for 695cc High Profile Natrelle Inspira. Englewood, CO

ORIGINAL POST

I had my first breast augmentation in December...

WORTH IT$4,800
I had my first breast augmentation in December 2007 at 18 years old. I was so excited to finally be getting boobs that I went with the size and profile my surgeon suggested instead of doing my own research. I wound up with conservative 300cc moderate profile saline implants. I could tell right after surgery that they were smaller than I wanted even in their swollen state. I was originally a 34A and the BA moved me to a 34C or B depending on the bra. Even though they were smaller than I wanted the BA was still well done, very symmetrical, no complications at all, and I was back to work in 4 days. I have had these implants for nearly 8 years, had a child, and the timing is finally right for me to replace these for the implants I really wanted the whole time!
After years of research, including reading a lot of reviews on here, I have a concrete idea of what size and style implant I want. I consulted with 4 other Plastic Surgeons before Dr. Buford and knew as soon as I met him, he is who I want to do my BA. Him and his whole staff are wonderful, they really treat you like a friend and not just the next appointment. I had originally picked out 475cc-500cc Natrelle cohesive gel implants, but Dr. Buford advised that I would need to consider 500-600cc to achieve the look I would like. I will choose a final size at my pre-op appointment, but I'm considering 525-550cc Natrelle Inspira.
After speaking to my husband I decided to schedule my surgery the same day. Dr. Buford's office is offering a $500 discount if my surgery is completed by the end of September, so I went ahead and booked mine for September 18th!

Yay!!! I'm about 5 weeks post from my surgery with Dr. Buford. I went in thinking I wanted 500 CCs and ended up with almost 700! I never would have thought I needed that much volume to achieve my desired look but I really did (I'm also almost 6 ft tall) I'm so happy with my results. My incisions are small and straight, healing has been going really well, and I love my boobs. The surgical center is beautiful. Too bad we can't wait in the OR because that's the most beautiful room there. Everyone in the OR was just as sweet and welcoming as Dr. Buford's office. I'm excited to follow your progress and see your results!

Congratulations on your surgery, I'm glad everything went well! I almost fell over when he suggested 600cc's but now that I'm considering it, it seems reasonable for my height. He promised he won't make me look like a floatation device lol.
August 26, 2015
He won't. I know a couple other girls that got boobs from Dr. Buford and everyone looks great. From the looks of your wish pics it looks like you want a very full look so I bet 600 would be nice! I'm so excited for you.

I just had a revision where I replaced my saline implants for Natrelle 410 anatomically shaped gummy bear implants (MF 640cc's) and I LOVE them! I believe my surgeon tried the Inspira during my surgery but found that even a larger implant didn't give as much projection as the 410's. Having faith in your surgeon to the do best thing for you while you are on the table is important. I am only about 8 days post op so I am still a little stiff but I love the way they look. My saline implants made my boobs droopy even though they were placed during a lift and the Natrelle's have put me back to where I want to be as far as projection. Your recovery kit looks great. Drink lots and lots of water. I am making sure to take a LOT of protein because it is one of those things that helps the skin heal. I have New Whey Liquid Protein (http://www.newwhey.com/) - they taste like jello shots (4 oz) but they pack a whomping 42 grams of protein in 180 calories and only 2 carbs. I also used a wedge but after a couple of days it really bothered my back. The other thing that I have that I love is a giant U Shaped Pillow (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00K54S10C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00). I'm not a natural back sleeper so I lay in the middle of it on my back and it helps to prevent me from rolling onto my side at night (my pillows just kept falling off the bed). Good luck and keep us posted!

Thanks for this. I'm generally on ketosis high protein because I've always been overweight and it's the only diet that belt me maintain the weight I've lost. I'm ordering this product on Amazon. I'm here researching a BA for the lost size and now deformed right booby since the weight loss and have to say this is an unexpectedly awesome and supportive community. If only women ruled the world lol.

I'm about three months out and considering a revision for larger size and to fix a slight asymmetry. I'm not terribly unhappy and am trying to decide if the revision is worth it. Based on your experience, would you recommend I just wait ten years till they are about time to replace anyway, or should I go for it now?

Please keep us up dated as I considering this n want to know all the pros n cons n what the different kinds are . Most people I know that's had them are like u they usually wish they'd went a size or tow bibber than they did n I'd heard a dr. Say most people should go a size bigger than what they think they want . It also has to do with how much skin U have Good luck praying everything goes well ! Keep us posted .

I will, thank you!

Hun what implants do you in this pic? I love these breasts and that's what I'd like - they just look soooo natural. Your new ones look good too but I love this really conservative look.
What size are they? And we're they silicone you say??
September 24, 2015
300cc saline moderate profile under the muscle. This is after 8 years and having a child though.

Thank you for this photo. It is almost impossible to find an "implants after breastfeeding" pictures. Did you breast feed? They look so natural. Would you happen to have a side picture? Thanks again, this has made me feel much better about my decision to get implants before having children.

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery! If I could suggest one or two things - it would be a wedge pillow and a travel neck pillow. I got both at Walmart and they were lifesavers. I'm postop day 6 and I am still using them both! :) good luck to you!
August 25, 2015
That's a good idea, thank you!

You look great now so you are going to look great after too. My advice would be to show the surgeon what you want and let him decide during the surgery.
August 26, 2015
Do you have a wedge pillow? It's really hard to keep rearranging pillows behind you when you're postop. Also I had a cup with a lid and straw that helped me a lot the first couple days. Also protein shakes were really nice because I didn't really feel like chewing. I also took my own vitamin C and glutamine. Xo

You also need need need a travel neck pillow!! I could not have slept without one. Sleeping on my back sitting up would not have been possible.
