I have posted previously in the Tummy tuck & brazilian butt lift areas....as Ive also had these procedures done this past March. I am having a revisition in January and an very seriously considering changing my saline to silicone and going a cup size larger. I also would need a type of a lift on the right side, and also some release of the pocket area on the lower left. I am not unhappy with my size....but I figure, as long as my PS would be doing the lift and fixing the pocket, might as well just exchange them and go a bigger.

I will also be having a revision on my tummy tuck(scar touch up) a little more lipo on my flanks and lower stomach and lower back. My PS doesnt want to waste any of the fat, so wants to place it back in to my butt for round 2. I had a fat transfer(aka brazilian butt lift) at the time of the tummy tuck. I am now more educated on PS in general, and plan to make this my LAST one so I want to do it right. I am stuck on what type of implant,,,,moderate, high profile, etc. I know it depends on my desired look....which is more cleavage w/o a bra...and more rounded...taking up more room on my chest, not a lot of projection...if that makes sense? Any ideas or suggestions would be awesome.

Also i was advised that apprx 150 cc = roughly 1 more cup size. Does that sound about right? I am currently a 34DD or 36D...depends the bra...but I also have 2 34 D bras as well, sooooo.....I feel Im more of a solid D in my opinion. I will post some pics soon.....Im having some computer issues right now, so hopefully I can get some up soon!!! Anyway you ahould also know that this would be my 4th breast revision. The last 2 didnt go well....he was (diff doc) supposed to have done this small lift but it didnt work, and the time before that he was supposed to have evened them out...they are still not even. My "favorite" breast is my left....the right is droopy and is about 1/2 in maybe more lower. I cant go braless as its VERY noticable. My current PS actually asked me about it after my Tummy tuck...if I "knew my breasts were uneven"....ughh....I just want them right...and if they get larger in the mean while, so be it! :) I am 5'5 roughly 130 lbs small/med frame....ideas? Advise on saline -vs- silicone? Any info will help! :) Thanks ladies, love you all!

I'm not really seeing that they are crooked. I see a little asymmetry but breast implants do not help that. I have that as well. Mine is actually pretty significant. Even natural breasts have asymmetry. I do think you will like silicone though versus the saline. They seem to be highly regarded. I will take some new pics today of my breasts and post them so you can see the 700's. How high does your doc go up to 800? Have you decided on which type of profile?

Yes one breast was always larger and during my 1st surgery my doc filled the smaller one to help even things out. The right actually looks quite a bit larger which is funny cuz naturally the left was the bigger one. Not only is the right larger but it's about an inch lower on my chest do that exaderates things even more. I'm not sure what he goes up to & we haven't decided on a profile..i do feel that moderate is best. I've got Mentors Moderate plus now..so stepping down to moderate should give me more width n the higher CC should keep roughly the same projection..or so I think.

I just posted some pics. So you are looking for wider and not projection? I think with the picture being upside down it makes it a little tougher to see the difference. My breasts are 2cm different in symmetry. It's funny I never noticed it until recently when I went in for the upgrade.

December 13, 2012
Yes I don't know why it posted upside down. I'm off well more than an inch. Its hard to tell in ur new pics the straight on photos, if theyre off.but Yes...I want less gap more cleavage & just to be more symmetrical. If I get more projection with the bigger width I'd be ok with that but ultimately that's not my final goal ;)

Hey gurlie, I have 550cc saline moderate profile, I love them, I just didn't realize with a lift too, the healing process is a little longer too, then I fell and now my incision is slightly open, it's getting better tho, so u want to go bigger??? Whoa! Cuz mine feel sooo heavy now, I can't even to attempt to run, I wanted the full look that's why I did saline, I didn't do high profile, cuz I have broad shoulders, so my dr suggested moderate, an he was sooo right to! Are u going to the same dr who did ur Tt? When is ur sx date?? Happy Holidays gurl!!!

December 15, 2012

Well, 1 month til my revision! Im excited but more nervous this time. I think more so becuz Im also having my lipo revision/fat transfer revision at te same time...and I know what to expect after...if that makes sence. Ive done alot more research since my last post...and I feel more confident about what I plan to go over and discuss w/my PS. The lift my right breast will get is called the Benalli lift. (spelling?) Im a little nervous about have one nipple looking different than the other, but I guess, if that is my only issues, I can live with that. My main concern still lies in the symmerty. I still do plan on increasing that size considering Im having them exchanged...the ones I have now are only 3 yrs old. AND I want silicone. Im REALLY hoping this will be my last major cosmetic surgery for quite some time, so I hope I get the results, all around, I want. EKKK! one month, and counting!!! =)

Aw! Did you go bigger?! ;o) P.S. I sure wish I had.

January 16, 2013
I will keep u all up to date for sure & yes I'm going bigger but I'm freaked out. Here's my dilemma: I have 450 mentor mod+ round shells filled to 550/600. According to mentors chart that puts me about 12.8 width & 5.7 projection. I'm exchanging for 700cc's silicone mod+profile from natrelle. Base width is 15.8 & 5.1 projection. 15.8 VS 12.8 is a decent size difference so I'm FREAKED out they'll be to wide and not project enough!? I've been googling this n am getting more flustered. How do I measure what projection & width i actually have now with my current implants inside my breasts? Argggg I just don't wanna look like a freak show! Lol

Does your PS have a computer program to project how you will look? Otherwise, I think your best bet is to bring in pics of EXACTLY what you want to look like along with the cup size you are going for. Hopefully your PS can give you some guidance. And then whatever size he/she says, add 25-50 ccs LOL! :P

January 16, 2013
I went with the moderate profile, 457 ccs, silicone, Natrelles, under the muscle but I am only 3 weeks post op so I won't have my 'final' look for awhile.

Well I had my post op last Thursday. He was shocked that I requested the 700cc's! Lol I carry what I have now, well. In pics it's hard to tell but you wouldn't know unless you knew lol that I have 550/600! I'm just afraid that with the additional width and the very slight difference in projection that I will look too flat. He doesn't have a computer program that I'm aware of and I totally forgot to show him my wish pic. My SX is Monday girl!!! Lol I will def show him then but it's not like he would have other choices avail if then, he feels what he ordered isn't correct. I'm a hot mess! Lol
