WORTH IT$6,500
I am so glad I found Dr. Kearney for my BA. Both he and his staff bent over backwards for me. Everyone in his office is fantastic. They guided me every step of the way and most importantly listened to my concerns. Dr. Kearney even gave his private phone number to call should we have any questions after my surgery and when we did at 9pm he picked up the phone. He also called me before and after the surgery. They got me into the office within 30 minutes of calling.
Dr. Kearney does what's best for you and the results you want. He will let you know if you are about to pick an implant that isn't right for your body size and are risking distortion. I am very happy with the look and feel of my breasts. I can't tell they aren't natural neither can my husband. I did decide after a few months the I wanted a higher profile higher volume implant. This is normal you get comfortable with your size and go "my gosh I should have gone bigger". I was afraid to go into Dr. Kearney's office and say "these are beautiful but can you do them again". He acted like this was the most normal thing in the world when I did and I immediately felt safe and comfortable. We met for over an hour and explained EVERYTHING! He is unbelievable. I honestly wouldn't trust anyone else as much as him. This doctor really cares about his patients and I can't thank him enough.

You look great already , I'm looking into getting either 225cc or 250 cc mentor moderate plus or high profile and your pictures made me more optimistic about it . Could you please add a picture for you with clothing on , I really want to see how big they look under clothing . Also may I ask you if your implants are smooth or textured ? Because you mentioned that they feel like natural boobs and that is absolutely what i'm looking for .

Sorry about taking so long to get back to your comment. I've been posting on the revision review. I updated this with more pics.
I had 250 cc round silicone moderate plus profile by mentor. It's hard to tell the size under clothes because I was always wearing a padded push up bra. I did find a few sports bra pics. I hope this helps you.
These really felt very natural. You couldn't tell the difference a few months in. Just to help out a bit the under muscle silicone feels very natural regardless of size.

Hi I'm the same size as you height and weight , can you please put a few more pics up ! I feel I want 325 but looking at your pic it's making me think that will be too big ! So confusing as one surgeon said 345 the other said 200 which I think will be tiny
February 25, 2016
Same here. One surgeon said 250 (and he refuses to go higher) and another says 350! I don't know what to do! I'm 5ft 4 123llbs x

Check the charts I posted but in the words of my plastic surgeon go with the bigger implant. Also you have to be sure what profile they are recommending this can account for the discrepancy. For instance the one doc can be saying 250 in a moderate profile and the other one is saying 350 in a high profile. I think 350 is a good size 250 will likely make you 1.25 cups larger. 350 might get you 2 cups larger.

I had mine march 1 st. I was a 32 B snd got 350ccs saline mentor. Im still sitting high but he did say he was possibly taking out some of my tissue cause sagging was bad. Im 108 pounds and 5 '1. Im still unsure if 350 was enough.
March 22, 2016
Im 5'1 108 pounds and petite. I was 32 B and got 350cc mentor moderate + and now wishing i had done 400 if my surgeon could have as i dont know if he could have until my 6 week check up.

Iv been told my chest measures 12cm each side so I cannot get an implant wider than that this means I can only go 325 at the highest as this implant measures 11.5cm wide . I'm getting high profile though which means the implant will be less wide but fuller
March 28, 2016
So 12.0 cm is the width of the 425 cc hp implants I got for my revision. If you go 11.5 cm this will be too narrow for your BWD. My BWD is 11.3 and my revision was for 12.0 cm. really really recommend going with an implant that is at least your BWD if not more.
March 28, 2016
Moderate plus your projection will remain 3.4 cm with hp your projection is 5.2-5.4. Depending on what your BWD is you may look in to high profile. The reason I did 425 rather than 400 is because I went up 1 mm in width but out a little but in projection. Width for 400 is 11.9 cm and width for 425 is 12.0 cm. you might as well get 425. I stopped with 425 because at 450 the width went up to 12.4. Check out the sizing charts I posted lower down for reference. Good luck. I have a revision review under the same user name. Revision is a lot easier. Good luck :)

I have pectus excavatum which means my chest caves in the way in the middle , unfortunately this means I can't get any implant wider than my actual breast as they can start to slide into the middle of my chest which is not a good look x

325 hp is a pretty darn good size and like I said with this review I was almost happy with 250 so was considering 325 for a while. Not sure if you looked in to UHP at all but I was tempted for a while to go that route too. meme.me one of the real friends has similar stats and got 350 so pretty close to the size you are looking at. She is super friendly. You should check out her review. So sorry if I came off rude or insensitive.

Need post op bras quick and my pre op shopping list
I wave a decent number of wire free bras from my first surgery but I really wanted a zip front bra for the first few days after surgery. I found this 4 pack for $27 that should be arriving Monday. It isn't pretty but fit my criteria of being prime eligible zip front and padded (pics included).
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0132IPR0O/ref=ya_st_dp_summary#immersive-view_1456039929968
I ordered a Large since they come from China and reviews said they run small even though I'm only a 32. Does anyone else have a good zip front wire free bra that doesn't show nipples? I may have to wear this to work depending on how quickly I bounce back.
I need to get everything for my surgery tomorrow since I will have to pack a full week of work into 3 days and usually end up working 12 hour days in a normal week and am taking a night class on Wednesdays.
1) hydrogen peroxide
2) neosporin
3) nexcare waterproof dressing
4) nexcare sterile adhesive gauze
5) stool softener
6) oyster crackers in case of nausea after surgery and some ginger ale
7) already have ice packs may look at breast feeding ice packs
Am I missing an critical items? Any and all suggestions are welcome :)

Adding a few more pics for 250 cc
Adding some 250 cc pics. Hope this helps ladies with size choice. I started as a 32A and with 250 cc was a full B to small C. Implants were round submuscular silicone moderate plus profile. Just finished my revision this week to 425 cc high profile silicone.

Thanks a lot for your time replying back and posting more pics ,I really appreciate it .
February 28, 2016
No problem, I am so happy to help. I have a lot more pics for the 250 ccs on my other review for the revision. Good luck with your size choice :)

Did you have Mentor first time?? I did and I have now again with 500cc mod plus and going for a third to switch Natrelle high profile or ultra high profile with 700-800ccs to get the change and difference I want.
April 13, 2016
Yes I had the mentor mod plus and now have allergan natrelle style 20 high profile. I like allergan better because you get more projection. I am so sorry you have struggled so much with size it really does a number on you emotionally. I was having a hard time finding your BWD but the allergan uhp will give you 6.4 or 6.7 cm of projection in the 700 range and is only 13.5 cm across. The hp puts you at 14.5 cm and gives you 6.1 projection. I have the charts on both of my reviews if you'd like to reference. I probably recommend doing the uhp because based on your initial implant you seem to be in the BWD in the 12 range and don't have much of a gap between your breast. I think you will be super happy with uhp. My doctor said if you were to be walking around the beach and someone saw you they'd think those are totally real but big. With high profile it would be like wow those are great who's her surgeon and with uhp it would be like "she had a face?". Make sure your doctor tells you the max before you get visible distortions and rippling. Mine told me that would happen at 550 uhp which has a width of 12.4 and a projection of 6.0 cm. Anyway best of luck with the revision. I really hope you get what you are looking for this time sweety you've been through a lot.

This was my second surgery. I hope to stick with this size until maybe after I have kids.

How many months post op are the 250 pics? I’m your pre op stature so this is super helpful
So glad you were able to get your ideal look with your revision. What size were the original versus the new implants? You look great in your pictures. Congratulations!
