Hi, I had my first breast implants about 8 years ago. It is the mentor high profile 400 cc silicon. I loved how full and big they were but I did not know the swelling went down and I was unhappy. I was looking for a size D bra size. I'm wearing a size 36 C. Well now I'm getting the 800 mentor high profile silicon implants. Hope I'll be a DD. Does any one know what size I will be? I'm 5"3 and 115 pounds.

U will/should get a dd even possibly ddd depends on make of bra. I went from 450 to 800 hp silicon n it took me from a C to a dd/ddd. I'm 5" n average weigh 115 also. Good luck n I think u will b happy. I am with my results :)
January 28, 2016
Thank you for the information. A couple more days to go for the operation :-)

R u getting internal bra or permanent stitches ? I didn't know of these until after my surgery but think with large implants it's a good idea.

Hi, No I won't be getting that procedure. Dr told me I have great breast tissue for the big implants. And they are going under the muscle. :-)
January 30, 2016
Ok didn't realize the tissue makes a difference, that's good. Mine r under muscle also n I didn't get procedure either but I read about it often with large implants suggesting it to prevent from bottoming out. Well hope u have a good n fast recovery :) will b awaiting ur results :)

Please post your after pics. I'm currently 360cc moderate saline going to 650 or 800cc silicone HP would love to to see your results.

Hello, I will post pictures after surgery. Surgery date is Feb 2, 2016. I was going with 650 and changed my mind because I didn't want to think if I would of gone bigger. So 800 cc is the biggest u can go with silicon implants :-)
January 29, 2016
Hi 800cc is too big for your body ! don't do it ! 500cc-550cc is DD-s. Talk to your doctor! I am 5"6 140pounds ,my implants are 500cc and I am 36DD
January 29, 2016
Well with the old 400 CC Implants. I thought with the first operation they would of bring me up to a D or a DD but it did not happen. I started with my real boobs of 36 B. The CC's implants was eating up by my body. So better to go bigger or go home :-) II checked the measurements on the mentor silicon implants on there web sight and compared the 500 to the 800 cm length and it was only 2 cm difference. I"m not having the ultra high profile I'm going with the high profile. Thank You for your concern.

You will be huge! I have 450ccs and I'm a DD. I'm 5.5 and 118lbs. However I also want to increase my size so excited to see how yours turn out. Even though I'm a DD they don't look nearly that big because they are wide.

Hi, I will post after surgery. Probably the next day. I want to show how swollen I'll be. Then I'll post once a week for a couple of months until breast have settled. I'm getting the surgery jitters. Hope I don't look like a freak and made a mistake.
February 1, 2016
Yes my implants now are the high profile and not the wider moderate implants. The 800 cc's will be the same high profile and not the wider moderate also :-)

Dr Griggs is the best. He got the 800cc's in there. Swollen but love the new sizes. I'm a happy camper.

Wow! Congrats! I'm so excited for you! How is the pain compared to your first implant surgery? Also, it looks like one of your nipples kind of points down - like the left implant rides high (before pic). I'm wondering if that's just the pic. I have the same left breast riding high. How old are you? The part of your face I can see looks exactly like mine.
February 3, 2016
I'm 47 years old. That's only the angle of my cell phone that makes my breast look like that.
February 4, 2016
Hi, the pain is far worse because the cut incision under neath the breast tissue is longer for the larger implants to fit. I don't notice the larger implants weight at all. The only problem I have is a burning and bloated belly, I'm very concerned. I'm going to see Dr. Griggs tomorrow Friday for the bandages to be changed. I will ask him what's going on with this problem
February 7, 2016
Ugh. I was hoping the pain was less than last time. How's the burning? Probably just a side effect from surgery. Hopefully you are better.
February 7, 2016
Hi, The burning sensation is finally over, I was very worried and almost went to the E.R. You was right, It was a side affect from surgery. Thank you :-)
February 10, 2016
Hi, still a little bruising under the breast and stomach. Minor sharp pains on and of from the stitches. I will post pictures tomorrow on Wednesday.
February 10, 2016
I'm having boobie greed. I wish my breast were bigger but 800 cc is the biggest they make for silicon. I should of gone with the ultra high profile but have the high profile instead. Hope when they drop and fluff they will appear bigger. Pictures tomorrow. Boobs are still high and tight.
February 10, 2016
Hahaha! That's funny! But it's true that some implants look huge on some people while not so huge on others.
February 10, 2016
Sorry to hear that. I'm hoping for the DD. I'm depressed if it doesn't happen :-(

Swollen still. Implant on the left dropped a little. Stretching on my stitches, kind of burning on and off. I took the sterli strips off after taking the picture. Feel better. Going to take a Tylenol. Hope the pain goes away

Hi you look great! I'm way bigger in frame size than you and was hoping for 700 at least at went from 440 to 550 Hp saline unders last week and am very disappointed. PS said muscle was going to tear beyond that. So how the hell can your skinny self get such a large implant? Lol - are they overs? What profile and I bet there silicone just by looking! Let me know if you could. The thoughts of another revision is depressing and expensive.
February 10, 2016
Hello. My implants are under the muscle. I'm one of them skinny people that eat implants lol :-) Yes they are the silicon Mentor high profiles. I'm sorry you are unhappy. My surgeon is one of the best. Before the surgery he brought 700 cc just in case the 800 cc were too big. I had to go to him before he retired. He was confident he stuff them suckers in there. I'm so sorry you didn't get what u wanted. You can always wait until your breast skin stretches and you can go to another surgeon. I know freaking expensive to deal with :-(
February 10, 2016
Thx for your reply- you did have implants for several years before me though so that makes a difference. My doctor is great too, just on the safe conservative side - as a Nurse I can appreciate that. Keep posting pics so I can continue to be pissed off!
February 10, 2016
The rest of my comment cut off! I'm just kidding you know- I am jealous though. Just sayin
February 10, 2016
Yea in the future I will go bigger with saline. I'll go around 1000 cc's. I know I'm the boobie greed monster. My boyfriend doesn't like the whole idea but oh well my body and I'm not getting any younger. Yea wish they had the silicon implants past the 800 cc mark. Since they feel more natural, I think.
February 10, 2016
How old are you and what's your height and weight if you don't mind me asking? Men need to stay out of the decision! Agreed! Lol
February 10, 2016
Hello, I'm 5 foot 3 inches. 115 pounds. 47 years old. I Look way younger :-)
February 10, 2016
We're same height and I'm 41 soon to be 42 on Monday. Thx again. Yes your body doesn't look 47 good for you!!
You're almost there! Here is a forum for other February 2016 breast implant revision members that might be of help. Looking forward to seeing your results. Hoping you'll update us often!
