7 months ago I made a poor decision to get 700cc hp silicone Breast implants. I had 480 saline moderate profile overfilled (The round ones). The doc said before surgery he thought I had 550 overfilled. That does make a difference. So if you have implants and you're getting them exchanged, make sure you know what you have. If you don't, have a back up plan. Ask your PS to open you up and look if needed before you decide.
I had to have them replaced do to muscle distortions from working out and capsular contraction. I told my PS I wanted to be just a "little" fuller on top as the old implants were very round and very flat. We both thought looking at the dimensions (I really didn't understand that totally since I wasn't measured around my chest just the implant) that the 700hp would be a good fit. And don't get me wrong my PS is a great PS so far..
However it's been 7 months and countless dr visits for neck/shoulder pain, a fat transfer surgery to cover severe rippling (because by muscle didn't cover the implant). So they are unfortunately not a good fit. They are way to wide. I went from 34 C-D to a very large 36DD -DDD. This is not the look I'm going for.
I have 4 kids. 2 in college 1 high school and one almost there. I'm 40 I workout a Lot (or did before my boobs got into the way) and I'm a mom non the less and don't want that huge look.. I want "big" breast (average D), my husband loves big breast, but bigger is not always better, for me anyways!
I think balance is key. Sexy and classy is my motto with bigger than average but not to big of breast.
I hope that's not to much to ask for, as I've become extremely nervous and depressed over this whole thing. I do not have boob greed. I just know what I want, and I know it's not 36 DDD. My husband and I only talk about boobs lately, and not in a sexy fun kinda way. That's very depressing.
I take great care of myself. I have always. But I feel like these suckers are holding me back now big time.
I'm no stranger to plastic surgery either, as I think if you have realistic expectations you can be as confident and sexy as you want to be. I know I don't want anymore surgeries for a very long time so I'm praying this is it and they turn out the way I wanted 7 months ago.
I am going with the "newest style breast implant" called inspira uhp 580. Doc said it will be 2-3 cm less wide but still give me projection. Which I need since I breastfed four babies and don't want a lift. They are lighter going from 700 to 580.
Keep your fingers crossed for me. I'm 5 days pre op. I will post my recovery as the days pass by.

I think you look amazing!! What do you have now-Mentor or Natrelle?? I want your size!!! I too am similar in height and was thinking in a year or so to redo mine since I feel too flat and wide. Im very broad and need an implant that'll fit my frame well to give me the perfect difference in projection, cleavage and volume. I was thinking 700-800cc hp in Natrelle or ultra high profile and now I want the new Inspiras.

I now have the natrelle uhp inspira 580 the implants I replaced were natrelle hp 700. They are similar in size and projection just not as wide or heavy. I love them so far. They are still in a very post op stage and I also had a benelli lift so it will take time for them to settle and look normal, but I'm very happy with the size.

Yesterday was surgery day
Everything went really well yesterday. I arrived at 8 am and greeted by the staff who quickly got me situated and comfortable. The staff and nurses we're extremely caring. Holding my hand and had me smiling as I was getting the medication to put me to sleep. I had no complications. I did wake up in a bit more pain than expected. A very bad burning sensation around my nipples. I also woke to find the doctor had given me a benelli lift. So that explained the pain. Before I went under I told him I trusted him and to please do what he thought necessary to give me the best results. So after removing the 700's and consulting with my husband as he waited, he did do the lift. This will not be as harsh as a lollipop or anchor, which I was very scared of since he thought it may be necessary.
The size implant that we choose was a very fair trade from what I had and what I wanted, without going to small and absolutely needing a big lift. However it still reduced the weight a great deal and will make them better looking on my body.
I'm at the doctors office now for my 1 day post op waiting to see them. I can already tell they are much lighter. I will post more pics as soon as I get home. I'm so excited. We went with the 580 uhp silicone inspira Natrelle. He gave me prescriptions for pain meds, muscle relaxers, and antibiotics.

Excited for you!! Im getting a third soon to get right and I'll be getting re new Inspiras too, but 700-800ccs and hp or UHP.

What brand were your 700 silicone hp ones and I think they looked great and are my "wish boobs" why did you get rid of them? I want that size or bigger like 800ccs.

I removed them because they were to wide and very heavy for me personally . I loved the idea of 700's but they just didn't work well with my neck and shoulder issues. I also have a smaller waste and found it extremely hard to find clothes that fit right. I also felt they made me appear to be heavier or weigh more than I did. The 580 uhp inspira I just got is basically the same dimensions (projection) just not as wide and less heavy. I am loving them on day one. I can tell the difference in weight already. I also got the benelli lift so I'm just dealing with the pain of that. I'm very excited to be a D but not have the weight and the tension and pulling. I have a feeling a lot of woman will enjoy the benefits of this new implant.
Best Wishes.
