Hello realself! You have been so amazing in...

WORTH IT
Hello realself! You have been so amazing in helping me find so much information on breast augmentation! All you ladies rock. I have been trolling this site for months and now I think it's time to start my own review! I'm a petite women, 5'3 about 110Ibs. I'm a A cup now and would like to become a D cup. At my first consultation I thought I would go with 400cc HP silicone mentor implants. But my second consultation changed it all :/ he gave me the choice of mod or hp...and a newer type of implant...Natrelle inspira?? I am now confused and not sure which path to choose. The second one used the vector 3D imaging and mod profile actually looked a little better but I always had high profile in my head.

In the picture to the left, they look more full. So I say the left! Are those the high profile?
December 15, 2015

Thank you!!
December 15, 2015

THEY LOOK SIMILAR
i think if you choose round implants and want to look more natural the moderate is probably better ( in my opinion it looks less fake )
i will be going with the inspira moderate 310cc (unless the doc thinks 275 or 295 are better in the op room) dual plane

i am going for 275-310gr inspira round moderate profile dual plane..in 3 days!!
I actually prefer a lower profile because for the look I want the HP look as if they stick out too much.
February 8, 2016
Both are close. I say right they look more centered nipple wise to me.

Who has Natrelle INSPIRA silicone gel implants???

mjfl
I'm interested in anyone who have gotten the inspira breast implants.....are they soft??? I'm afraid they will be more firm since they are overfilled. Also do you have any problems with rippling??

they are more full because this will lessen the ripling effect.
January 11, 2016
Thank you! I get mine in less then two months! I'm super excited and nervous. Still can decide between mod or hp :/

I have 595cc FF Natrelle implants and I absolutely love them!
February 26, 2016
I have 450 SRF. They are super soft. I'm only three weeks post op. BTW you are thin and when looking at the mentor vs. inspira, the inspira was fuller. Good luck with surgery and happy healing!
February 26, 2016
Thank you for letting me know they are soft!! I was really concerned about that. Yeah I'm going with inspira to help rippling. I think I will like them. You are looking good so far! Best of luck with healing <3

I just got them and can't believe how soft my breasts are. They feel natural!

So out of everyone I saw I loved Dr. Engel from the Sarasota plastic surgery center the most! He was very to the point and didn't sugar coat anything, which I think is a good trait. He also really took the time to talk to me about everything...good and bad. I think I have narrowed my choices down to 400-450cc SRF silicone natrelle INSPIRA. I'm hoping that's not to big for my petite 5'3 frame but I don't want to end up with boob greed!!!
I go in Feb. 17th to try on sizers and finalize everything so I wil decide then.

Hi, im 5.6,114 lbs, searching for the right size /brand/profile. My doc loves inspira. Are you thinking of full profile or extra full ?
February 4, 2016
Whats the width of your rib cage? And current cup size?
February 4, 2016
Oh, A? Me too. I look much flatter than you. You must be a full A,small B !?
February 5, 2016
Hey! My rib cage is 29" the width under my breast is 12.5" ...I'm thinking full profile , responsive gel (because it's supposed to be softer! I don't want firm!) either 415cc or 450cc...I'm not sure yet :( so nervous!!! My doctor is obsessed with inspira as well! I was originally going with mentor silicone 425cc HP. My friend got them and they are so soft!! Which is what I really want. But he really recommends the inspira ....I'm a small A...I think pictures make them look bigger because I can barely fill out an A cup! If I put a push-up bra on I barely have cleavage :( the bra usually slips up. ...maybe because the top of my breast are so flat? I was thinking of mod+ profile to hopefully fill my gap but I like the upper-pole fullness so will probably stick with HP.
February 5, 2016
I meant 12.5cm sorry about that. Good luck!! Hope you find the right size and implant type that fits you best!! I feel like there isn't that many reviews on inspira implants yet.
February 5, 2016
I love mentor too! Im a small A as well. Do you think your doc insists on inspira so as to prevent potential rippling? Im positive that in my case dual plane is a must, which means part of implant will be uncpvered and thus more prone to rippling. Firmer gels are supposed to ripple less so it may be the reason why our PSs recommend inspira? Im going to investigate it on feb 19
February 5, 2016
Yes he did mention they are less prone to rippling and because I'm so thin and don't have a lot of breast tissue it's something I need to consider. I like them..just hope they are soft to the touch. I'm going under the muscle ...lol there is no way I could pull off over..nor would I want to! Can't wait to see what you decide! I have my appointment with my PS on the 17th and will post pictures of the sizers and different implants! He did say I can pick mentor if I really wanted lol...but like you said I think he is afraid of rippling .

Hi stardrifter
Good luck with your forthcoming BA :-)
I have Natrelle inspiras 445 - I've got the soft touch which are apparently less prone to rippling than the responsive - and hubby informed me they now feel just like natural breast (I'm nearly 7 months post op) :-)
February 5, 2016
Thank you!! :) That makes me feel so much better ! I was really nervous about them being to firm, are you happy with the size you picked? I think your results are wonderful! They fit your body perfectly. I'm just so nervous about size! I'm not sure if 450cc would be way too much for my frame. I will find out the 17th when I get to try the sizers on :D

It just depends how big you wish to look in and out of clothes. See how you feel about the sizers, it's really fun trying them on! Oh and try not to get distracted or swayed too much by any one else's personal opinion on size.
I was guided by my PS then listened to my own instinct rather then friends and family, and I'm really really pleased with my choice. They took a little getting used to, and sometimes still I look in the mirror and I'm like "woah girl you've got big boobs" but I love them.
They took a few months to squish up, some other implants seem to soften faster, but as I mentioned, they're really soft now.
Thank you for your lovely comments - Wishing you lots of luck, look forward to reading how you get on :-)

Oh and I forgot to add - I have no rippling with the soft touch implants, yaaaaay!
February 6, 2016
Thanks girl! You are awesome!! <3 I like bigger boobs and don't mind if they look a little fake. My boyfriend is stressing me out because he doesn't want me to go big. But in the end they are my breasts lol. Yay for no rippling!!! That is great...I hope I get lucky ^_^
February 6, 2016
Agh! I'm sorry! I wrote a bunch of stuff but my phone keeps randomly messing up and only posts the first sentence twice!! I don't know what I'm doing wrong :( I was just saying how great it is you have no rippling! Yay ^_^ I hope I get that lucky. My boyfriend is stressing me out with size, he doesn't want me to go big and I like big! I don't mind them looking a little fake lol. Oh well in the end they are my breasts!

Perhaps he's a little worried of the attention having big boobs may bring? - mine get plenty of stares - from both men and women, but I think that's just human nature - if something catches your eye you're going to look hey! ;-)

If he's secure about you and him and your feelings for each other it'll be plain sailing.
I did listen to my hubs opinion on size, after all his thoughts do count - he suggested the 400s but it was me that wanted the op so it was me that ultimately chose the size :-) and he loves them!
At the end of the day it's you carrying them, dressing them, looking at them - as you say, in the end they're your breasts!
Good luck at your appointment, please keep us all posted :-)

Thanks love! You are so kind! I'm sure insecurity has a lot to do with it. He will get over it lol I know he will love them in the end :) hehe ...I will definitely post pictures on the 17th of all the sizers ...You'll have to give me your opinion on size if you get the chance :D I can't wait.

I think you'll be good. I'm 5,2 and weight 111 I went with natrelle hp saline under the muscle 550 on my right and 470 on the left. After having three kids one shrunk more than the other.
