I am so glad I found this site! It is great to hear the testimonies of all you women and be able to relate and know what to expect.
I'll try to get right to the details :)
I had saline 330 cc implants 15 years ago after breast feeding my first daughter. After finishing breast feeding for 9 months, my breasts lost 2 cup sizes and my left breast was deformed and caved into my chest wall. I looked totally deformed! I got my implants about a year and half after I breast fed. After 3 surgeries to make me look half normal, I stuck with this set (330cc saline) so you could imagine how I could feel needing a new set and I'm hoping to improve what I have.
So, I want to increase my size a bit for more fullness and I'm needing a lift.
I've gone to 5 Dr.'s for consultations and have decided on Dr.Brian Klink.
He was decisive and really made me feel like he knew without a shadow of doubt what would work best for me.
So, donut lift and BA , cc's are undecided. I have my consultation tomorrow. Yay! My surgery is scheduled for July 29th. I may end up needing a full lift but won't know until tomorrow's consult and vectra imaging. I'm so glad to have this option for sizing!!! I'll keep you all posted! Thank you to the ones out there that update late- post-op surgery pics! The breast change so much, it's nice to see the result months down the road.

Today I went to my pre-op appt. with a lot of anxiety and questions. Dr Klink was very patient with me and answered all my question. I he wanted to go up to 500cc's but I am very hesitant. As we talked he really got a more clear picture of what I wanted and I also brought pictures. I can't believe how at peace I feel and feel like I'm in the best hands possible. If he ends up doing as well as he says in surgery, I'll be thrilled! I've never had a surgeon say that he is responsible for his work and if I was unhappy, it's HIS job to fix it, on HIS dime! I'm totally sold on his confidence, clarity and skill. What a Great appointment! I can't wait! Btw... I'm leaving the size up to him. Let the artist be an artist!
Wish me luck!

You might enjoy this forum for tall women getting BAs. Often times taller women can gracefully carry a larger implant. Glad you found RealSelf and that you have found a doctor you like to perform your revision. Good luck and please keep us posted!

Sounds like a great appt! Mine is August 9th. 10 yrs ago I had a tummy tuck with Dr Klink. He is a perfectionist and what I felt was good he thought needed a little more TUCK!! I had a second tummy tuck. No cost to me. It still looks great! Very flat tummy for a 60yr old!! My implants are 16 yrs old and have encapsulated. I trust he will do a great anchor lift and smaller implants. I'm worried as well about the size and sagging. How did you both decide on the # of CC's? Any info would be appreciated.

Hi!
We didn't really decide on what size. I have , in my opinion complicated boobs.
When my implants are out, my left breast is totally deformed. I told him I didn't want to be big, I'm not a showy person and I have two daughters to raise by example. So, I left it up to him but NO larger than 500 and really would like them around 420-450 max. He said 500 would look great/best but he would err on the conservative side.
I'm trusting him!

Hi everyone!
One week from tomorrow it's all coming to boobs! I'm excited and very nervous. Not with my surgeon but with recovery and what size I will end up. To be honest, many of the reviews with the Benelli lift have not been great. Some horrible. I pray my surgeon gives me the best results and they hold up. He seems very clear that the donut lift is what I need.
I even said to him, why not just do the full lift and he said I didn't need it. So, I'm on the count down. Good by Sag City!!!
My wish pics have been all over this site so I'm sure some of you are familiar. I'll keep you posted.
