Breast Augmentation 300cc - Toronto, ON

UPDATED FROM shona1

6 weeks post op thinking about revision

Here is my dilemma - I think my implants look too wide (not far apart wide, but I think the base of the actual implant is too wide) , my doc says that moderate profile implants are the most natural looking, but honestly, I think the 300cc moderates I have look much too wide for my frame.
On my petite frame they make me look like a football player.
I am wondering if a different profile would resolve this problem. Obviously another costly, painful surgery is the last thing I want to go through.

Can anyone offer some advice?

I have tons of ? Maybe you can help me with . Well First my stats 5'2 104 lbs po 32aa I'm really hoping to be a small C when settled . Is that a possibility ? Wish I could've fit more ? Regardless I'm happy I'm no longer a part of the IBT no more little boy boobs lol any opinions would be great ! Thank you ! I was also wondering about when can I wear heels ?

I'm so sorry about your disappointment. Do you think you can find a good push up bra to bring them front and center so you don't feel so wide? Good luck and I hope you love them over time.

hi, I am so sorry you had an awful experience and feel you went too big. I too have had a consult with dr tong and he recommended 300 gummy bear round implants, I am 5'2" 108lbs. 31 bust 25 waist. Very petite build. I think we are a similar build. I too have breast fed, 2 kids. did you have more than 1 consultation? Dr tong has a pretty good reputation but now considering your post I am reluctant. I also had a consult with dr tong and felt his consult was very rehearsed. I was just wondering what your breast width measurement was, because I have had another consultation and dr. Ali aid far and 2 Drs measured very differently. Dr tong measured me wider than the other dr. 11.5 vs 10. So their suggested sizes were both small because I have very little breast tissue. 255 textured anatomical vs 300 smooth round. And I too had asked for a natural look. Did the squaring of your breast get fixed? I hope it did and thank you for your post!

still too big

shona1June 7, 2013
Three weeks post op and my 300cc's still look too big and round. Thankfully they seem to be dropping and are no longer inches below my collar bones, but they still look massive. This isn't what I was hoping for.

I would love to hear stories from women who've had the same experience - did they get smaller? When? Did they get bigger?

Thanks!

Hi there! I'm so sorry to hear your unhappy at the moment with your results! You got moderate profile? Could u post a pic? I'm so interested because I think I want the 300cc but in high profile! But want a natural look so bad! Not a fake look! My BA is in 6 days!! I'm 5'3 100 pounds, 32a, an some are saying to go 325cc because u loose some under muscle ?;/ so scared to look too huge!

Hi, I just read your review - I had my follow up apt with my ps last week and I asked him why he didn't use a high profile implant with me - he said he doesn't use them at all because they never look natural - the amount of upper pole fullness simply doesn't exist in nature. So, if you want to be natural looking perhaps moderate is your best choice. You will still have great cleavage when you want it with a bra. You and I are the same weight and height (I was also a 32a post op) I would not recommend going up to the 325cc, I know everyone says they look larger under the muscle (that is why I chose 300cc over the 270cc) but in my case, probably because I'm thin, they look big...I imagine your result will be similar. Just curious why is your doc recommending the high profile? Best of luck to you - I hope you will love your result and I hope that my reply is helpful.

He recommended high profile because of my BWD and my tiny narrow frame ;/ I know I have been stressing out thinking I wanted moderate plus. But because I'm so small in my chest the moderate wouldn't look right on me they wouldn't fit my in my diameter, they would hang off the side lol too much side boob. I am probably goin to do the 280-300 cc because I have nothing to start with they said I should get a good natural size since I haven't had any kids an all. Thankyou so much for your response! My BA Is tomorrow!:0

Hello! I hope everything went well and that you are recovering nicely! I would love to hear about how you are liking your implants - did you go with the hp or mod plus? I'm actually really disappointed with my ps for not spending time discussing different profiles with me - I am worried that my implants look too wide for my frame, I'm thinking about getting a second opinion.

Hi there! I can't express how happy I am with my implants! My recovery has been wonderful! Completely not what I expected at all!i went with HIGH PROFILE my ps had recommended that because of my BWD but however he didn't even let me try on the mod + or mod profile sizers because they simply wouldn't fit in my frame , too wide. ;( I'm so sorry your still unhappy! Your PS should've let u try the HP sizers an let you choose which u thought looked best! I left it up to my ps to decide which cc's looked best on me between 280-325. But all HP's because he did say they would be too wide on me of they were HP's. u should post some pix an ask drs the question on here. They all have different opinions but I think if your narrow like me you should get or should have got HP I was afraid they wouldn't look natural on me either I heard the Moderates looked more natural but every body type is so different it's hard to say which looks better on every size body u know? U should most definitely consult with another dr that u have heard good things about an good reviews good photos. Even if its out of state! You should be happy with your body! An If a revision is needed so be it! I wouldn't just leave them the way they are if I wasn't pleased either! :)
