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.

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"???

Hi everyone, I first joined Realself in 2014 when...

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.
