Hi Ladies, First I have say THANK YOU FOR THIS WEB PAGE AND ALL YOU LOVELY LADIES!!! Its been a great resource! So it has been 2 weeks since my b/a and am now wondering if I should consider a donut lift which my surgeon suggested. I'm wondering if I should have gotten HP too, I also have only been in my surgical bra for 2 weeks and haven't tried on any actualy bras so not sure what my result will be. Not sure if this is just boob greed REALLY setting in! I should note I did want side boob and cleavage more than projection which is why I chose 550 MP+. Any answers would be most helpful & appreciated!!! thank you xo!!!

I think you look good, and that you've gotta give it time :)

Speaking from experience (I've taken pretty much all my pics down except my wish pics and haven't been on much lately) I had 500cc mod profile implants and didn't like them from day one, they were always wide and flat, not full enough from the side view... I tried to give it time and unfortunately I still wasn't satisfied and had to have a revision. I now have 700cc uhp, which sounds big, and reading lots of stuff online all these Drs talk about it being very large and "risky" but idk why they make them or why any dr would put them in w their name on the line if it wasn't a good idea.. Anywho, the reason why I went with 700cc was because I wanted to keep the width of my 500cc implants but I wanted more projection and upper pole fullness, which I did indeed get! However one thing I have learned is that you can achieve that look with smaller implants but the pocket placement and technique matters, what you are starting off with naturally matters, and most importantly any sort of a lift, usually a full lift is what offers a good long lasting result instead of shoving a larger implant in. I didn't have much "sag" my nipples weren't pointing down, I didn't have much to begin with just very deflated and I think maybe low on my chest wall... And I definitely wouldn't have been able to place a pencil under my boob and be able to hold it there, I didn't have enough to hold it! However, I have learned that this doesn't always have to be the case to get a lift. Hopefully this helps

Considering a lift?

Hi Ladies, First I just want to say how thankful I am for this website and all of the comments and pic from you lovely ladies! So.....It been s since by b/a 550+ under the muscle without a lift. My surgeon suggested a donut lift and to think about it after the implants have settled in. I don't know if its boob greed or what but I feel like a want them bigger and more perky, may even consider bigger implants or HP at my next consult at my next f/u which will be the 1 month PO visit. I am totally confused!!! I also have been only in the surgical bra so don't really know what they will look like in clothes. I've posted a few pics for you lovely ladies to take a peek. Any feedback will be most helpful! I xo

Larger implants will not be perky as they are heavier and draw the skin/tissue downward. It sounds like your surgeon has the right idea to perform a lift once things have settled a bit more. Best of luck to you.

You look great!! I know all about boob greed but I think you look big already and that they will continue to look fuller as they settle.
