I have been wanting a BA for a very long time, and now it's finally time! I've looked into this for several years but only the last few years was I personally and financially ready to do it. This site has been very helpful, so I wanted to contribute my experience and hopefully it will help someone else!

For some reason it wouldn't allow me to upload pics on my original post, so here are my before pics. I'm getting the natrelle 410 shaped/textured implants, and undecided between 375cc-425cc. My preop is next week so I'll decide then. If anyone has this type of implant, I would love your input!

I just received the 410 375ccs...You can see my pics/progress...I'm still in full recovery mode but am so far happy... My PS wouldn't do more than 375ccs, so I'm hoping in the long run it's big enough, but from what I've read it takes about 100cc's more to make a significant difference so I'm trying to not get stuck on that. Good luck with your procedure! I feel like I was a month out just yesterday!

Thanks! I'm definitely going to keep tabs on your recovery haha I can go up to 425cc but nervous to go too big -- but then again I don't want to go too small. Decisions decisions! Thanks again for posting and good luck on the rest of your recovery!

I just got the Natrelle style 410 MX(moderate height extra full projection) chart 370cc. 5 weeks
ago in Peoria, IL. Love them. I'm 5'8" 133 lbs. My bwd was 12.0 so could go too big. Good luck!!

Thank you! So happy to hear you like them -- good luck on the rest of your recovery!

I am 1 week post up...got 375cc moderate smooth round and so far so good. Natural and hopefully just the right size. My doc didn't like the 400cc on me so 375 is what I got. Good luck!

Hey there!! :) I'm curious why you decided on the textured implant or why your PS thought this was the best choice for you :) would you mind sharing?
I'm just curious cause I've heard/read mixed reviews about the textured.
I personally got the Ideal implant and I love it. All the benefits of Silicon (natural feel, less rippling) but with the safety of saline (so no MRIs every few years and no risk of autoimmune disease)
But just curious why you'd prefer textured :3
October 14, 2016
Hi there! From what I'm told, since it is an anatomical shaped implant, textured is the way to go so that it stays in place and isn'5 able to rotate. I do have a few questions for my PS to address at my preop and depending on his answer/recommendations, I will decide for sure to go with the shaped vs. standard round/smooth silicone. I fully trust his judgment. Looking forward to the next appointment!
October 14, 2016
That's awesome I'm very excited for you!!!!
Actually with the anatomical shaped implant they warn you to be careful of rotating since it is SHAPED they can rotate and it looks very very odd as you can imagine.
Also what some people don't like about it is that they don't have much give, meaning they feel much firmer than actual breasts and don't bounce very much and some people complain of pain if they wear push up bras as their breasts were actually so firm/places that trying to squeeze them together with a bra was painful (even years after surgery)
But of course, that's all subjective to what it is you're looking for/want :). I'm not trying to deter you from getting textured or anything like that!!! Just curious why your doc thought it best for you since you haven't had kids or anything and your breast tissue doesn't "appear" to be thin or stretched ;)
BEST OF LUCK :D <3 welcome to the dark side.

Pre-op!

I had my pre-op today, and I ended up deciding against the 410 implants and now going with a smooth round. I will be getting Inspira SRX 420cc. I wasn't nervous at all before but now that I've set the size and they are ordering the implants, I'm finding that I'm nervous and second guessing whether I chose the right size. I have wide hips to compensate, so I know it will be fine and look proportionate, I guess I'm just worried that I'll be self conscious. Anyone else have that feeling? I'm sure it's normal - just scary and want to be happy with the end result! The countdown is on, can't wait!

I have about the same stats as you. I'm 5'6 140lbs and got 371cc mod profile + and I wish I'd gone at LEAST 450+cc. I have come a long way and am definitely bigger than I was. But not as big as I wanted to be and was expecting to be with the size implant I got :(
October 19, 2016
I'll add that I have a consult to get a revision and I plan to go at least 500cc if I can afford it. If I'd known that I was going to end up this 'small' still, I would have gone 500cc on the first go if he'd have let me
October 20, 2016
oh no! I'm sorry to hear that you aren't happy and are going to do a revision. That sounds terrible! It's so hard to know what to pick - I think my fear is since I'm getting a high profile that they won't have a natural look to them. But I trust my doctor's judgement so I need to be confident and know he's chosen that with my best interest in mind. (So stressful!)

Had my preop same day! When's your surgery? My dr said he will have lots sizes there and we will decide what looks good on the operating table but with sizers at preop we have an idea of range. And gave him wish pics which he found helpful.
October 26, 2016
Lol! One week from today 11/2 is mine. When is yours? I ended up getting super nervous this week and went in to retry sizers and bumped down to 400cc. I'm ready for it to be here!!

And did I ask u if u know bwd breast width diameter? Surgeon measures this. Wider we are need something bigger to make impact, I'm wide with bwd.
October 26, 2016
What projection are you planning on doing? Mine will be an ultra high profile and that makes me a bit nervous -- I have visions of them looking like softballs on my chest instead of natural looking. But my surgeon was not concerned with that at all - can't believe we are one week away!
October 26, 2016
My dr said don't focus on profile that dr puts what fits best that it's our myth that one or other will give a look. He will try diff ones and decide in operating room. Because I'm wide i would be surprised if I get high profile. When I say wide doesn't mean I look wide but each bwd is wide so need diameter to fit it. He said coz I have one side projecting more due to breast bone protruding in right side he will put smaller and possibly diff profile than other side.
October 26, 2016
So he said profile should be up to dr in operating room. They bring options for our width and try them on.

Your before is not sad! You have perfect perky little even breasts. Your results are going to be fantastic!

Hello, good luck with your surgery. Last Friday I had my op, 420cc mod profile. I'm 5ft8 130lbs and wide hips. I'm looking forward to seeing then drop and fluff.
It was so hard knowing what size to go for and thought 420cc sounded huge but they said due to my height and frame this size would suit me best. x
