Implant Exchange from 360 Cc to 520 Cc Inspira Silicone. New Orleans
ORIGINAL POST
I had my consultation for the exchange of my 20yr...
WORTH IT$4,600
I had my consultation for the exchange of my 20yr old 360 cc saline implants for 520 cc Inspira silicone implants. Dr. Richardson was great so far but I am reading mixed reviews on Real Self so we will see how it goes. I am so excited and am counting down the days till the 10th! I'd love to know if anyone else has had the Inspira (or overfilled) implants and do they tend to feel harder than my saline implants... Which I hate the feel of. I am only 4'11" and do not have much natural breast tissue. Dr. R would like to use the Inspira to prevent rippling since I am going over the muscle. I am also concerned about needing a lift which he said he doesn't think I need. I slightly disagree but will trust what he says. So far, so good.

Pre op appointment is Monday. Super excited about it but not about the hour and a half drive I'm gonna have after the surgery to get home to New Orleans. Hopefully I'll be to doped up to notice all the bumps. Also hoping to lose at least 5 lbs before the surgery. May be wishful thinking but I'm trying. Another 5-10 after surgery!

So I went to my pre op and something came up about going the next size up, which in the Natrelle Inspira implants would have been 560. Idk why, but I agreed to do that... Then when I got home after that long drive and a lot of time to think about it I started freaking out thinking, I don't wanna look like Pamela Anderson. Lol I went back and forth on it but in the morning called the dr and told them I only want to do the 520. I know it's not that much difference but knowing I would be 200 more cc's than I am now just sounded like too much! I'll be happy with bigger than I am now... Don't need boob greed! Lol I can't believe I'll finally be in surgery this time in 2 days!!
You're under a week now!!! I remember that was a good feeling for me too! It's getting clooserrr!! Lol Are you all ready?

Surgery tomorrow!! Ahh!!
So I went to my pre op appointment on Monday and thanks to my fiancé's encouragement had decided to go up to the next size which was 560! The more I thought about it when I got home and not being able to sleep that night, I decided to call my PS first thing in the morning and switch back to 520 cc's. I was too scared of looking like Pamela Anderson with my little 4'11" frame! I'm second guessing that now thinking 50 cc's is not all that much bigger when you're talking about a 500+ size implant but I'm not gonna have boob greed. 520 will be a good bit more than my current 360 cc's and I'd rather be safe than sorry!!
The surgery center called and said I have to be there for 9:45am. Wish it would have been earlier but we are driving an hour and a half from New Orleans so maybe it's for the best. All I know is I better not see anyone eating or drinking in front of me before the surgery!! Haha!
So I made my ice packs, bought a neck pillow, packed a few things to take with me and am now cleaning my house like a crazy woman! Lol I will post an update and some pics as soon as I'm feeling well enough to.

Yay!! Can't believe it's here! I went through the same dilemma with sizing. I thought I would want 400 but my hubby was all about the 450 or 475. When I pick a size my ps will order that size and one above and one below and place whichever looks best on day of surgery. So at my pre-op I chose 450 (which means my PS would order 425,450 and 475) bcos my hubby liked that one so much. Well as time went on it was really bothering me bcos I really did not want to be 475. I was losing sleep and everything over it. So I called my PS and told him I wanted to pick 425 (so that 400 would be the smallest and 450 would be the biggest). At first I was worried I made a mistake by changing but with some time I have decided that it was the right choice and I will be happy with 400,425 or 450. My surgery is at 1 and I have to be there at 12 and they are telling me I can't have anything past midnight!! I feel like you! I do not want to see food! Lol. I think not having my morning coffee will be the hardest! Anyhoo, sorry for such a long comment! I wish you the best of luck sweetie and I am so excited for you!
