Hello ladies! I have found this website to be so...
$6,500
Hello ladies! I have found this website to be so informative, and am looking for some advice as well as hoping to pay it forward and maybe help someone else out in the future!
To start i had 32 full C breasts- not bad..but i had always wanted a BA because i wanted them to be perkier and more cleavage.
I had my first BA june 2009-
450cc mentor HP silicone inframmary incision under the muscle. I had a good result,but as soon as i took my wraps off I was somewhat disappointed bc i wanted my breasts to be closer together and have more upper pole fullness.
In july of 2010 i had my first child, and breast fed for a few weeks, and when the milk was gone and i lost baby weight,i noticed slightly more sagging. Then in may 2011 i developed a grade 1-2 CC in my rt breast that my surgeon externally manipulated in office.....YEOWWW... hurt so bad..but looking back im glad he did it and i didnt have to pay any OR or anesthesia fees to fix it internally. Since then my rt breast has sat higher and been slightly firmer than the lt.
In august 2014 i delivered my 2nd baby. I breast fed her for a few weeks as well,and when the milk was gone and i lost the weight, my lt breast had bottomed out:(
So i have a different problem in each breast and need them fixed, and i want to go bigger...like 700cc saline overfilled to 775 bigger..to give me the upper pole fullness and cleavage i desire...not just in a bathing suit or bra..but naked!! I feel that if you pay thousands of dollars for a BA, you shouldn't have to put on a push up bra to get the look you want. We are for sure done having kids.
1 well known/busy/breast implant expert in my town(who also did my first BA) recommended sientra 695 mod textured under muscle. He said the texturing would prevent bottoming out and he would do an internal bra suturing. And that is the largest cc amt in sientra textured. But i feel like silicone will give me more of a natural look, and im not going for that. He said he would not do XL saline bc he didnt want me going around town with his name on my boobs like that.
Another surgeon said he would also do the internal bra, but did not suggest texturing, and said he would do 700cc saline under muscle over filled 10-20%.
I still have a decent amt of natural breast tissue,so i am not worried about visible rippling. I also know that saline will feel firmer than silicone, and im willing to accept that.
Should i go with my first surgeon who i trust,but am scared to have another disappointing result? Esp since the textured implants he wants to use are only a mod profile? OR should i go with the surgeon who will give me the size i desire?
Help please!

Hey Readyof XL, have you researched Dr. Revis in Ft Lauderdale Florida? He is like the king of XL implants and perfected the internal bra procedure. I don't like the idea of a surgeon being so self centered that he does not give the patient the option that the patient wants. After all you are the one PAYING for the procedure. Dr. Revis has photo's on his website of women up to 2000 cc implants. You know what you want and for that surgeon to say that to you is pompass and assinine,
May 22, 2015
I agree! Thanks for the message, i have heard of revis and pousti from this website...they both look like they do great work! I just dont really have the extra funds to travel/ get a hotel :(

Dr. Revis did a blotched job on me and his rating are low. The internal didn't work on me. Left me with having to redo after 5 months later. I'm air hung great surgeons now with 5 star ratings. So many here in south fla

Go big or go home girl lol If you want that size you should get it definitely. I also don't like that the doctor is throwing in his opinions of a size that YOU are going to live with based off of what other people are gonna think of him. That just sounds so wrong. I think you will be so disappointed if you dish out more money only to be unsatisfied with the size, again you are the one that is going to be living with the implants for a very long time so make sure it's a size you're gonna be proud to see everyday :)

Hi, the most important factor in a breast augmentation is the surgeon. Never compromise on that!! I think that you should save your money, until you can afford the very best, because if you compromise for convenience and your not happy, or have complications, it's going to cost you more in the long run.
Believe me, I know, I've had 4 surgeries, because of problems.
Please look at my review.
Good luck with whatever you decide...

Wow yer bodies awesome in the bikini :) I can only imagine what you'd look like with some awesome big and perky boobs! You need to be 100% happy with who you chose.,the 2nd PS sounds like he's more on the same page with you but I understand the comfort of using someone you've used before too. I totally wanted to go with my original PS too but he sounds like yer 1st 1 and is not a fan of XLimplants. Like Beth said, I had some tough times but I love them big and will def go back to Revis in the future to go even bigger :) good luck hun I know how hard it is! XX

June 13, 2015
Woohoo...big boobs are here. :) hope you sleep well and look forward to yer pics! XX
June 13, 2015
Thank u! When i came out of surgery i was kinda upset.. n still am... that he only filled to 720. ..he said thats all my body would fit without have a an enormous amount of side boob
June 14, 2015
What's wrong with lots of side boob?.... Lol! I like it! Would love to see more pics when you have a chance. Take it slow, it's easy to over-do-it when you have little kids to care for
June 14, 2015
I know im ok with lots of side boob! Excited to take these bandages off tomorrow and c what ive got. From what i can tell i have very little swelling and no bruising. My family and dear husband have been helping with the kids in a major way.. thank God! Will post pics soon as i can!thanks for the encouragement :)
June 13, 2015
Did you use Calobrace again?
June 13, 2015
Nope.he wouldnt do saline...he wanted only to do the sientra silicone. My PS was dr dubou
Sounds like a tough decision. I know a lot of women have successful revisions with the internal bra. I know that Violet1234 had a revision with an internal bra. Although Mrs 500...800cc had some complications with her revision, she is finally happy with her larger implants. You might just find parts of their reviews helpful. Keep us posted!
