I'm 5/7 and 126 pounds. I'm hoping to go from 325 to 500cc. I have followed this board for some time now and have deemed it important to document my journey along with so many of you gracious ladies.
I'm in Miami now, traveled from NC with my husband and daughter for my procedure tomorrow with Dr. Ortega at CG cosmetics. So far I have mixed reviews but I'm not sure if it's just nerves or a combination of other factors. My consultation moved quickly and I believe that a great deal of information was provided during that time. This is my second augmentation and as I recall from my first, it was done in 5 minutes. That doc did an amazing job but 10 years later, breast feeding my daughter for two years and a 100 weight gain then a 145 pound weight loss, has taken a toll on my once perfect breast.
I'm hoping that I can be a better version of myself mentally and physically albeit 10 years older.

I too want a size increase from 350 cc to 475-500cc just trying to decide if I will reach the outcome I actually want and if its worth it. finding that with my original surgeon 4 years ago,..hes now saying he only wants to use textured implants. I had 2 other consults with other surgeons closer to my town and they don't use much textured. its so hard to make a final decision with so many confliction opinions out there. good luck to u!

So yesterday was the big day. I arrived at 6:30 am and my husband was called around noon to pick me up. I didn't he and my toddler waiting around. Besides, we booked into a hotel just 7 minutes away.
The whole process went pretty quick. I woke up and three things hit me. 1) The pain was soo incredibly intense, 2) My breast are too small ( I was supposed to be 500 cc. 3) My left breast appears to be a lot bigger than my right. Not sure if this is normal at this stage but the same thing happened with my first BA and for the most part, my breast while beautiful stayed that way even 18 years later

I had my follow up yesterday and I was indeed given 500 cc saline under the muscle. The pain has been dreadful.

I had 575cc saline implants placed in my first BA 11 years ago. They were enourmous. After the first 3 months my weight went down to 124lbs and stayed there for about 2 years and I am 5’10”, I looked like I was toppled over but through the years I gained and lost weight. They were beautiful but heavy and before my second surgery to lift and replace the 0ld implants with 375cc and 400cc saline implants my bra size was a 34G-H.
