So my son is almost 5 and I have finally decided to get a breast augmentation. I didn't know until my consultation that I was going to need a lift as well. So now I'm getting both. When I tried on the sizers I decided on 560cc natrelle Inspira full profile silicon... But now that I have done some research and seen some pictures of 560cc they look huge! But I also know everyone's #1 complaint is that they wish they went bigger! I don't wanna get smaller and wish I went bigger.... But I don't want to go bigger and wish I was smaller! I have another pre op appt this Thursday the 25th... Contemplating doing the 485cc... Gosh I just don't know! I'll update after Thursday's appointment!

I made the mistake of going to 800cc silicone gel implants 2 years ago. I had "boob greed" and was not thinking about the fact that I was already a 34DD. They were placed sub glandular and now my skin is thinning and breasts are painful. I am having them removed and downsizing to 500cc (max) with a lift. Finding comfortable bras is almost impossible since I'm a 34 J. If you're taller and have a bigger frame you can get away with bigger. I tried an implant in my bra and I thought the 800cc was what I wanted. It's completely different when it's implanted. 100cc's isn't that much of a difference.

I originally was going to do 500cc and was worried about being too big vs too small. On my second consultation I tried 550cc and decided on those. My surgeon said if they're under the muscle he always goes 50cc bigger so I went with 600cc under the muscle! I did think that sounded huge but really they're perfect for my 5'6" 156lb frame. I'm 5 weeks postop and love them. I know I could've gone slightly bigger and would still be happy but I might have been disappointed going smaller. So my advice is to go a little bigger especially if you're going under the muscle. Hope this helps.

I see the comment below by the gal with 800cc and I do agree preop size does make a difference. I was 36b preop. Also having a lift is different than just implants too because they do take off some skin and tissue with the lift too.

That's true! Being active duty I have to be able to do a lot physically so anything past 600cc I don't know if I would still be able to be productive with my military things :)

What's your height and weight. You look slim in your pics. I think it makes a difference because my height and weight can carry the 600 well. I don't think of myself as slim but I do think I'm muscular and athletic. I am signed up for my fifth half marathon in June. I'm interested to see how running goes...I have to wait till 6 weeks postop. I think you should try on sizers and go with the ones you like best. Be honest with yourself and don't worry too much about not being able to be active as you were before. After you heal I think they'll be a part of you no matter what size you choose and you'll find bras that hold them securely for every activity.

I'm 5,7" and about 125-130 lbs. I decided on 440 anatomical Mentor "gummy bear" implant I believe they are perfect on my frame. You look like an athletic girl so you don't want them to become a nuisance during workouts. I was pleasantly surprised (using a wireless VS sports bra) that they don't bother me during my workouts.

Thank you for your comment! Good to know! I def don't want them "in the way" I'm leaning towards the 450 range

I have 650cc inspira implants under the muscle. Honestly I probably could have gone bigger but overall I am pleased with the look and feel.

How are you liking the INSPIRA?? Are they just like "high profile?"
February 23, 2016
They come in different profiles. My PS recommended a full profile which I think is equivalent to a high profile
Implant. They feel very natural and I am
Just 3 weeks out

Thank you for sharing your journey with this community. It sounds like you're already getting some good feedback as to size and type of implant. Do you know what type of lift you'll be getting?

Thank you for following my journey :) I'm not exactly sure it's almost like a "mini left" bc he said he wasn't going to have to make the incision down below my nipple which is good . So I'm not sure the official term. I have another appt Thursday and my thoughts are honestly all over the place with size! Lol

where I'm seeing the boob greed is in the women with just breast augmentation. When there's both a lift and augmentation - the reviews I've read are that if anything they wish they'd gone smaller. I think when the implant is too big it makes the lift not work as well and the boobs start sagging again. You also have a good amount of breast tissue now so 500 will be a lot.

Are you going for the natural look or do you want to look like you've had your boobs done? I ask this because I've noticed some women want to look "done" which define. In my opinion these 550cc make you look "done".

I think you look fabulous as is and will be happier with the big ones. That should improve your confidence as well.
February 26, 2016
I am not sure if the rice fillers can imitate the actual 550cc. I can tell you that I am currently a 34DD and I wish I could be smaller. In fact I regret getting them done to begin with. However, thats because I already had a 34C and that was a full C. My opinion is you should do the 485cc and Victorias Secret Very sexy bras will enhance the look you are wanting, trust me. Once you go that big, you will have a hard time finding button up shirts were you won't be busting out. You would have to go bigger. The bust will be ok, and the bottom part too big. Hope this helps reconsidering. Also, make sure he goes under the muscle and after surgery, massage those babies so they don't harden up. Good luck to you!

Few more things, make sure he doesn't leave you a big gap in between your cleavage. Don't do the incision thru the areola, you could lose sensitivity like I did, but this might be something you can discuss with him and see how confident he feels about it. No one brought that up to me.
