WORTH IT$4,700
4 beautiful kids ( all breastfed for 1 year each), Implant exchange (this is my 2nd BA), age 40, 5'7in.
Had my 1st BA in 1999. Approx implant size was 350cc, saline, under the muscle, and Axillary incision. I believe the implants were anatomical shaped. I did not have any problems with the old implants I just wanted to go bigger with a rounder shape. I had the implant exchange/revision in December of 2014. I love my new boobs. Wish I wouldn't have waited so long to upgrade. Now I have 1080cc saline, Moderate Plus, under the muscle, smooth round Mentor with an areolar incision. I'm almost 8 weeks out and the incision site is almost undetectable! My surgeon, Dr. Sumida, is absolutely amazing. He gave me exactly what I asked for. I couldn't be happier with my new additions. My husband loves the way they look and feel.

their amazing! Finally got my funds together but need to really do my research on a dr for this revision. It's been an expensive investment. Being my tissue is very stretched ~ that'll be my biggest issue with keeping my new set up.high.

Do you think you'll need an internal bra of some sort? I'm happy to hear you are ready to go with your revision. Remember to update after your surgery.
May 14, 2015
I think an internal bra may be the best solution but I've been getting mixed recommendations from different drs.. A couple I've spoke to says not required and a few says that an internal bra would be helpful for the result I'm looking for. Will start my own blog soon.
Did your dr have his own surgery center in his ofc or do you have to go to a hospital?
May 14, 2015
Geez... Makes it hard to make an informed decision when different doctors give so many different opinions. Looking forward to your blog:)
Yes, my dr had his own surgery center in the same building as his office. It was great!

thank you again for your helpful info. I'm heading to Vegas in Oct and will make time to meet 2 other drs for consultations and go from there. Do you live in the area of Dr. Sumida or did you have to drive a distance or fly there? Being I'm in Hawaii ~ that's my hardest decision adding factors if I have complications when I return home and my PS is in another state. How long after surgery did you massage them (if at all)? My dr. here suggested I massage them a week after and I think that is why they seem to have dropped and softened more than it should've.
May 21, 2015
Yes, I live in the area. Not far from Dr. Sumidas office. It's always a difficult decision when you have to travel for surgery especially when you're worried about possible complications. Massage! My husbands favorite part. Dr showed my hubby how to properly massage them. I'm pretty sure in was on the 2nd pre op appt... So within a week of surgery. I just followed the docs instructions and everything worked out great.

Great job!!! :) So you are happy with Saline? I'm thinking to do Saline.. Maybe 500cc... I'll see what Dr will say.
May 20, 2015
Hi there! I am loving the saline. No problems at all. They feel pillowy and squishy. My husband can't keep his hands off of them.

Hello!! I just want to drop a little comment... You look great!!! Your corset where did you get/order it from?
June 1, 2015
Hi there,
Thank you. I started waist training a couple months ago and I love it. The corset I'm wearing in the pic is from orchard corset and it is a cs-426 longline underbust. Love it❤️
June 2, 2015
Oh thank you for that info.. I used to do this a long time ago.. Then I stopped. It's how I was able to not look like I have 5 children ;-)
June 3, 2015
I love that company, I have 4 from them! Need to use them more though lol. Your boobs look awesome by the way! Funny how I feel like I know everyone on here but apparently not :) I love mine but thinking saline may have given me more. Kudos to you and yours XX

Hey there,
Thanks! Do you have any of the mesh corsets? A total must have for the summer. I just received mine in the mail and love it. Took a peek at your profile. Love the size of your boobs.
June 4, 2015

Hahaha... They don't even feel big anymore. They felt heavy at first but now I'm used to them. I don't even notice the extra weight. My left side is still a bit higher and firmer then the right but It gets squishier everyday so I'm not to worried. I think they feel awesome. With this size I expected them to feel super firm and fake but they don't at all:)
June 4, 2015
I'm so glad to hear that... Because that's my worst fear that switching from silicone to saline

How's your sensitivity? Did u lose some or not at all? I had my ba in December 2014 as well. I feel like the sensitivity has come back on my right breast but not quite on my left. I got 350ccs under the muscle. Btw, your boobs look amazing.
June 5, 2015
Couldn't feel much at first, but now it seems like they are super sensitive ( which my husband quite likes
March 23, 2016
I am more than a year out from my BA and my right regained little sensation and my left is mostly just pain around the aerola scar line I had the lift and augmentation with 325/380 under muscle

All I can say is wow! Very sexy! SO glad you are happy with the results! How hard was it to go from 300 to 1000 cc as far as recovery? I just had surgery on Tues and went from 385 to 565 and they feel great and not too heavy.
June 16, 2015
Thanks! I remember having a lot more pain and discomfort with the 1st surgery, but that was a long time ago. Not sure if that pain had something to do with the incisions site or the fact that my doctor kept me bound up and compressed so tightly after surgery. Not fun
December 14, 2016
Omg ! Jz love those boobs ! I wud love to hv such boobs ! My dream boobs! But it must b a big problm? 1000cc?
December 14, 2016
Thank you. It's been 2 years since I upgraded and I'd have to say I still love them. I haven't had any problems what so ever.
December 14, 2016
I go to the gym regularly and do all the things I did before my upgrade. I invested in several high quality sports bras:)

I watched a YouTube bra review video for this company before I purchased. So glad I found this brand.
