WORTH IT$8,400
I'm getting my boobs re-done April 23rd, almost a week away! I'm 32 years old and also had 2 children. I had my first implants done 11 years ago and had both pregnancys after. So it did a number on my breast even with implants. This time I'm going bigger. I was a AA bra to start and now I'm a large c/small D. I'd like to be like a DD. My advice, go bigger, once you see your boobs after surgery u will fall in love! Then they will drop and the swelling will go down and there goes a lot of the look you fell in love with. The pockets of my implants are going to be revised. I have double bubble. So the dr will also be repairing that. I'm not sure how many cc's I want. I'm thinking 600/650cc?? My Dr is Dr. Justin West. He's her in Orange County and amazing. Well, so far, I guess we'll see for sure after surgery;) I'm sooooo nervous!!!! I always get nervous about the idea of being put under!:/
Right now I have Saline implants, I'm switching to Silicone implants. I was so small chested and have very thin skin so the Saline implants show the rippling through my skin. You and see and feel it. They say it's not as bad with the Silicone. I sure hope that's true.;) ????

On the other side:) 700cc high profile silicone
Just like any surgery I've had I was terrified the day of surgery! But everything went well:) I just get very nervous being put under. So far I'm happy with the results!;) I went from 500 cc silicone implants to 700 cc silicone high profile implants. I just went to my post op today too see them for the first time. And I go back in a week to learn the massage moves I'll do to help the implants drop more.

Congrats! I am still not sure if 610 will be too big on my slender but tall frame... So I am really glad there are some slim women here with more than just 400 to 500. Do you know your underbust measurment? Did you wear a 34aa prior to your first BA and what band size did you wear the last years? And do you know your breast width? And the exact size of your new 700-implant (diameter and projection)? That would help me a lot imagining my future look. :) I am having my BA in 3 months but am so indecisive...

I was an A cup to begin with; not even, a training bra would have fit me better:) lol! I was I 32 or 34 large C cup/small D cup. With my 1st set of implants. Now I would guess I'm a a 34 DD, that's the size sports bra I'm wearing . I'm sure I will lose some volume due to swelling. They say every 150-200ccś will add another cup size. Is this your first breast augmentation? What cup size are you now?
April 26, 2015
I would say go bigger than what you want- after the swelling goes down you will wish u went bigger. I know this from experience;)
April 27, 2015
Thank you - and I hope you get better soon!
I am wearing different sizes aktually. My PS measured my underbust (72-73cm) and that means I am between the European size 70 and 75, which is like 32 and 34. I usually wear an a cup, but a couple of years ago I found out that Aubade bras that have the size 30c work best for me. I have no saggyness from breastfeeding, my breasts just shrinked. I start with almost nothing and I am tall and have a slender frame with a small waist, flat tummy and hips.

Important should be the width of my natural breast versus the diameter of the round implants... The 545cc is already a little wider... And I am afraid the bigger ones might be too wide And do not sit well. I did love the 545 sizer, though and dont want to loose the 40-50cc under the muscle...soooo difficult!

Why are you afraid to post pics? Embarrassed of your pre surgery boobs? No one on this website likes their pre surgery self;) that's why we do the surgery. Even the worst of cases I never judge. And I don't think anyone on here does. I feel realself is like a family of people who all have the same goals and relate to each other. It's nice to be open and have people to respond to your page- makes you not feel alone with your journey. ;)

That is so sweet of you. Thank you. I am afraid somebody that knows me will recognize me on the pics. Once online.... Even though I think my breasts are almost non existant on pics, much more than in real life, I do like them. They are just too small. I would love to have bigger breasts bc of different reasons.
I find silicone breasts sexy, I would love to wear clothes that look good just with them (even though I think I can wear more now), I once had bigger breasts and I sometimes miss them.... And I am doing it now and havent done it over ten years ago (after the kids) bc now I am not ashamed of others to notice them not being natural... I have a complex (you say so in English?) bc of other parts of my body, but not because of my breasts.
It really is bc I don't want to be linked to naked pics in public... There are not so many slim women here with big implants and my height...
I think I should do it, though. Not only for me but also to give something back really. You are helping me a lot with my decision. (Think I am going for the bigger implants, 610, extra high profile, if possible with my body.)

Go for it!! You only live once!!! That's what I live by! If you have regrets then you have them taken out. But you will not be sitting there one day years from now saying "I wish I would have....."
Many women on this site say that with in weeks they already wish they went bigger & I felt the same way with my first implants. I told the dr, I wanna come out of surgery feeling they're a little big, then the swelling goes down and I'm in love! Versus.... Coming out of surgery and loving the size and after a few weeks the swelling goes down and I'm bumbed wishing I went bigger. This time around I'm in love!!❤️

That is so good to hear! You look great already, after such a short time! Was it easier the second time, going under, recovering? How are you feeling? Still resting a lot, taking pain meds?
May 3, 2015
Pain meds I stopped after 2 days. I feel amazing. Both the 1st and 2nd breast augmentation were easy for me. I feel the 2nd has been nicer but only because the dr said with the second they drop faster. So with this time around I didn't ever have that weird Hugh boob look. at 4 days I was grocery shopping, cleaning the house, folding close, swiffering the floors, picking up my son from school, ect. The only thing I haven't done yet is care for my 9 month old. My mother n law has been watching her every day while my husbands at work! Then when he's off work he picks her up and cares for her the rest of the time. I thought it'd be sad and I'd miss her a ton. And of corse I miss her. But secretly it's glorious!!! I can nap when I want, I can go where I want, ect!! It's a nice break!! Lol!!! On Tuesday I go back to watching her full time. I'm excited to be with her again- but it's reminded me how much work a baby is! Lol! My son is 7 years old. So it was finally getting easier with him and now we have started all over again ;) lol!! Oh welcome the terrible twos and the horrible threes! Lol!!! Hopefully this time around is easier! My son was a little crazy! But that's boys I guess;)

My comment was too late. I am sorry , but it looks like you did well. They look great!

Do under the muscle. You have less chance of rupture. Also ask the dr about high profile implants. They are more narrow so u can have a bigger implant w them
April 28, 2015
Thank you! Yes, he suggested extra high profile the minute he saw and measured me, and after having heard that I like them to be a bit bigger... I will get those 610 extra high profile but am not sure if they are the exact same type. http://www.simplybreastimplants.com/breast_implant_sizes/meme_polytxt_xp.html

If your worried the big implants will be to wide then that's when you do high profile implants. That what I had to do. I have a small frame. Xs or small shirts and size 0 or 2 pants. So the dr tried moderate, and moderate plus profiles and said the big implant was way under my armpit so he had to switch to high profile and they were perfect! Which is what I like anyways because the high profile implants protrude further from the chest. And that's what I want. But they are still big enough at 700ccś that I still have a little of the side boob. I wanted that.;)
May 1, 2015
I love the high profile look but even though I am tall, I have a slim Upper body and my breast width is 11.75cm, the 545 implants are 12.5cm (diameter) and the 610 are 13cm. So I hope they will still Fit me and won't be under my armpits... Exciting!!!

13 weeks and 2 days... Might seem long, and on the one hand I wished it was today, but on the other hand time flies and I still need to find the time to travel to see my PS and ask him in person about my wish to go bigger. The only time I saw him we were discussing 400something vs. the 545... Now I am thinking I will go with the 610... But don't know whether that is possible...
I think I would end up with an hour glas look only when going bigger. The other size would make me look kind of 'normal' if you know what I mean.
I look slim, but I am wearing jeans size 27 and tops xs or because of being tall and the need for longer tops, arms, I am wearing small.
Do you still wear size s now? Or do you have to wear medium? I think it will be hard for me to find a new look with clothes that fit women with big breasts. I know, that something tight is never wrong but I find sometimes something loose can look quite sexy too, depending on the look. What do you think should I have in my wardrobe with my new breasts? What kind of dress, top, coat? Or is it really only important to find something slim that doesn't make you look fat?

They look awesome. Where was the incision?
Im having my surgery on June but haven't decided where I want the incision. My doctor recommends to do it on the areola so i won't gets scars under my breast. But im unsure.
May 7, 2015
I did mine under the breast, but that's just a personal decision. I don't like the way it looks w the scar on the areola.
May 7, 2015
something to consider, its a good idea to go with what your doctor is more experienced in/ or thinks is more appropriate for you.
May 9, 2015
Your day 2 looks awesome! I'm almost day 3 and still not quite looking like boobs! Mine are super tight and high! Can't wait for the roundness to take shape and the drop and fluffing to come! Without implants i am a flat A cup. So your 700cc could end up being large compared to my 800cc cause you had more breast tissue! I wish i could fast forward past this tightness and weird lookingness!
May 9, 2015
No girl I was an A cup to begin w too. I had implants in my before pics. This is my second set. I am naturally as flat as my back! Lol;)
