WORTH IT$6,100
Hi everyone, I first joined Realself in 2014 when I was beginning my quest regarding augmentation. It was absolutely amazing and so helpful to join this site and receive all of the wonderful information from everyone. I underwent breast augmentation in May of last year and it was one of the best decisions I have ever made for myself. My self esteem has received such an incredible boost, I'm so happy I did it and I'm so happy that I joined realself so I could communicate with surgeons and other women on the same quest. I'm posting again because although I am thrilled with the decision I made and had the experience of working with a wonderful surgeon, I'm considering a revision in the future. My augmentation was not as big as I was hoping and it's left a little to be desired, I guess. My doctor said that my body size made it difficult to give me as big as an implant as many women would get, so I only ended up with 213 cc's (silicone high-profile). I guess I'm a little confused because I see other women on this site that are also barely over 5 feet in height and the same weight (105-110 lbs.) and they have received implants that are much over that, usually no less than 300 some cc's. I guess I'm not sure why I ended up with such a small size and it's a little distressing because this was something that I was hoping would be a one-time expense and surgery. My doctor said at my 6 week follow up appointment that I could go bigger next time. For the surgeons out there, without being able to measure or examine me, and just from looking at my pictures, do you think I could undergo a revision and receive a larger implant size? Thank you so much for any input from anyone. And again, I'm so thankful for my experience and for my doctor, I'm just exploring options.

Contemplating revision
Hello everyone! I am contemplating a breast augmentation revision. I am unsatisfied with the size implants I ended up with and would like to go larger. I'm trying to figure out exactly what it is that I would like to end up and am looking for some visuals so that I can communicate with my surgeon what it is that I am hoping to achieve. Where do you all go for "wish pics"???

Revision Time
Hello everyone, I'm in the first stages of looking into a revision. I have an appointment next Thursday and I'm looking forward to it. I had no complications with my first augmentation, it all went great but I am very dissatisfied with my size. I feel like now that I've done it once, I know really know what it is that I want and I'm really hoping I can achieve my body goal! I feel kind of greedy at the same time, but I really want to be happy with my body :(
I'm once again looking at tons of pictures and reviews and trying to figure out exactly what I want so I can be sure to communicate clearly with the ps. I'm so confused about profiles. I currently have 213 cc's high profile silicone implants. I have no bottom boob, in fact the scars are pretty visible because there is no bottom pole fullness, it's all on top. What I really want is that bottom pole fullness, I want breasts that have a heaviness and that are full on bottom. I don't want boobs that look like I am always wearing a pushup bra. Does that mean I want moderate profiles? I'm so confused because high and even ultra high profile boobs on some people give lots of lower pole fullness?! I don't understand the profiles. I guess it's something to discuss at my appointment.

Hey! I've been reading your reviews and I can understand why you would want a revision. Your breasts look great but I think we always have that 'I could've gone bigger' moment (even though I haven't had mine yet). I usually look to Instagram for my wish pics. My top girl is Arianny Celeste who's a UFC ring girl but has nice breasts. I also looked at a ton of reviews on realself for inspiration. One profile that is highly popular is Anna1989. She's a petite girl who's breasts are on a lot of people's wish lists (including mine). She ended up getting 400HP and her breasts look next to perfection (and she still updates after her BA in 2014. In terms of profiles, I was a bit confused too. I originally thought that I was going moderate plus, but because I wanted a bigger size, they suggested HP because the width worked with my BWD. Moderate plus are more wider and therefore will be too wide for petite girls like us. Also, the projection is different with each profile. I was afraid of HP at first but was reassured that going under the muscle would push them down a little. I'll keep you posted on how mine goes

Thank you for the information! I looked up Anna1989's profile and I didn't realize that one of my wish pics came from her, lol! I'll keep on eye on your progress, good luck and best to you!
