After 13 years of having my first BA I was concerned that I should update to new silicone implants and just to make sure there was no problems. I was not experiencing any problems but had the assumption that it was best to change out within a certain time. I had my first BA from a Dr who is no longer in practice so I found Dr Richards and saw a lot of good feed back about him. He removed and replaced my original implants on 3/7/2015. At the time my concern was only to change out the old implants and know everything was ok. I asked to go a little bigger but not much so he mentioned to go up at least 150-200cc's in order to show a difference. I was worried that it would be too big at first. I went from a 450 to a 650 hp silicone. I did see a difference but then couldn't clear my mind of wanting a little larger. I'm 5' about 117 lbs and so he mentioned the uhp silicone. One day I was for the uhp then the next I was for the hp. It was so hard to decide. I knew how the hp look was but not knowing for sure how the uhp would look on me made me unsure. Well I finally decided on the day of surgery to go with the hp. So this was now my 3rd BA now at 800cc silicone hp. Surgery was 7/10/2015. I am so happy and my mind is now clear. I would say to who ever might be worried about going big not too worry because once there in and settle there not that big as they seemed to be . It also all depends on what you originally had to begin with. Dr Richards was very nice and did a perfect job on my implants. I was not at all in any pain and went back to work 3 days later. The nurses are also outstanding at his office in Lake Havasu City, Az. I recommend Dr Richards to anyone who is searching for cosmetic surgery. A++++ / 10 stars, he is amazing and will do the job right! Thank you Dr Richards :)

Here's a couple photos of my 800cc hp silicone . It's been 10 days now and I feel amazing . Doesn't even really feel as if I went through surgery again. Other than having to sleep on my back it has been a piece of cake . I went back to gym 5 days after surgery and was back at work just 3 days after surgery. I have to remind myself some times not to do so much because I do have limitations on what I'm suppose to do. I want everything to keep going good so I have to be careful at doing things. I will update later with more photos.

The Girls look great! What is uhp silicone,and hp silicone?

Thank you. I'm happy with them, they give me a great feeling.
Hp is high profile which is a high projection with more width of a round look. Uhp is ultra high profile which has the highest projection but is more narrow in width.
There is 4 different profiles. Low,moderate,high and ultra high.

LOVE them! Con't believe they are 800UHP! They look so incredibly natural! What size were you pre-any of your BA's? Did you breast feed? They are so amazing looking, I always say I am glad I didn't go bigger but your new girls look so fabulous I think your look would have been my ideal look! They re so full w/ out looking over done! Your surgeon did a wonderful job! Congrats! :-)

Thank you. Before my first BA I would say I was a 34a very flat, I had nothing :( After my second child i realized they were not going to get any bigger and i did not have much luck with breast feeding. I tried but was not enough so i did formula. Yes I was worried of the them being too big when I had my second BA with 650hp but after I saw they weren't as big as seemed so I paid for surgery all over again to go up to 800hp but it was worth it. I now have the fullness I was wanting and so happy with the results. I do to think they look natural and am very pleased with my surgeons work.

Im so happy to read you went right back to work! With my first set I only took my pain meds the first night and was ready to go back to work in 4 days. I'm hoping with my exchange I'm just as comfortable.

I don't know how I missed this but yes next time around is usually way easier. I was out at mall with my girls next day.

Thanks for posting because my stats are similar to you (5'1 110) and a gym rat. I've had my saline implants in awhile too and want hp silicone but might want a lift. If I go outside of LA, prices are more reasonable, which is what I did before and doctor long gone. You look great!

Thank you and yes realself is a lot of help. I wish I knew about it sooner. I think you'll b happy with silicone, they feel so natural

I'm feeling good. Feels as if I didn't have surgery. I'm just waiting to be able to get back to my regular activities as far as being able to lift over 25 lbs. I had surgery on a Friday and was out shopping at the mall the next day and back to work the following Monday. I went back to the gym also the following Wednesday just can't do everything just yet to make sure nothing go wrong. So I just have to be patient a little longer. Here are a few pics. I think they have settled already and my Dr did a awesome job. I'm happy!

I am scheduled for a replacement of my implants on July 29 2015
I have had them for 35 years and they are still soft and look great
But I feel it's time to replace and I thought about going larger and you really helped with my decision...I am going for it.
Blessings to you...

I'm 5'5", 155-120 and went from 250-500cc silicone mod + under muscle with mini lift each time and now thinking DDs and hp, but I have to wait 6-12 months to heal and recover. I'm thinking of a larger size already and wish was advised to go much larger since implants seem to disappear on me. Please help
