2 years after removal

$10,596
Wanted to show what my breasts look like 2 years after having the original implants out. I have put on weight, so there's not a drastic difference in size, but you will see I've lost the fullness up top. I'm kinda sad about this, but also happy that I don't have to worry about foreign objects in my body. If I could do it over again, I would do a fat transfer or Bellasoma procedure (if I could afford it!)

Breast implant removal

Due to my cap con and not wanting to spend more money or go through more surgeries, I decided to remove the implants. Best decision ever! Wish I had initally spent my money on a lift + fat transfer instead (or tummy tuck). Dr Ford was great, so nothing to do with him or his skills, just decided heavy, foreign objects in my body weren't for me. Luckily, I had enough breast tissue/fat that I wasn't left with deflated breasts.

When researching implants, don't just read the good reviews -research the complications, the possible breast implant illness, and other stories that aren't so positive. All the best!

Here I am, 2 years later. I developed cap con in the left breast around the 1 year mark and while I dont think it's gotten worse, I've decided to replace both implants. Going from Natrelle Inspira 375cc, mod profile, under the muscle to...???? In thinking Natrelle Inspira FULL profile, 485cc in hopes to achieve more upper pole fullness. I dont want to go bigger, but this is the smallest size in the full profile that I should get for my frame which is 5'6", 215 pds, 15bwd. I'm terrified about the increase in size. I started off around a 36 D and am now a 38 DD-DDD and I dont want to be bigger, just fuller and a different projection. I'm also thinking of going above the muscle this time, as apparently under the muscle compresses the upper pole fullness. I have a lot of good tissue, so am a candidate for above the muscle.
Dr has suggested I go with Natrelle Extra Full profile, 545cc, but I feel that will be too big. :( Has anyone else with similar stats gone through something similar? I'm dying over here, terrified that I might be making a mistake re: size.

What did you end up doing? I noticed all the Dr on the Q&A forum stated this was going to cause further issues and it's a higher risk of CC? Please update?! Love to know what you decided to do? Thanks. I hope everything went well. Hang in there.
