Well... Here I am 7 mos post op from getting 371cc mod+ gel implants...
Not sure what to say exactly. Except that pictures make them look way bigger than they are / look to me in the mirror.
I still have my consult for a revision. Sorry gals, kept having to reschedule due to the baby and work. Nov 15 I go though. I get married September of next year and I'd LIKE to have them done before then, depending on price. But I won't be butt-hurt about it. I'd rather save the 2-3g for our wedding. Anyway. Here's some pictures and scar progress shots.

Dr. Snodwon did an amazing job on my breasts. The scars are smoother and barely visible at just 1 month post op and healing was a breeze. His staff was nice and he was on the same page as me regarding the size and look I wanted. However, I almost wish he would have given me a min-max CC so I could figure out how big I could actually go, because at 1 mo post - I am having major boob greed and wish they were bigger. But all around, that has nothing to do with him. He did a fantastic job.

I totally understand if it's not what you were hoping for, and you are definitely entitled, after spending so much, to feel happy about your result. But if it means anything, I do have to say that they look amazing. I would have had them on my wish pics had I seen it before my surgery :) Good luck with everything!

I agree with both replies below :-) they look natural and fit your frame perfectly!
question: Didn't your surgeon try different sizers for you to get an idea on they'd look?
I am getting my BA Nov. 18th. I am excited but a bit nervous. My current size is 34 A I want a natural look (just like yours! You have my wish boobs :-) ) I chose Natrelle 339cc's moderate profile. My surgeon said I'd be a full B or small C cup.
Keep us posted on your revision appointment. :-)

I had a TT last year. I am getting a brachioplasty and BA with the same surgeon. She is awesome!
J
November 9, 2016
No he didn't have sizers. I made my own and THOUGHT that was the look I wanted. I'll post a pic in the same white bra as my before and rice sizer pics when I get home to show how much smaller they are compared to the rice sizers. We looked at pre and post op pictures of women with the same stats as me and both agreed that the 375cc would be the look I was going for to achieve the full C. But it's not :(
D
November 10, 2016
For a breast augmentation surgeon to not have sizers seems odd... that's wrong on his part to "make a decision based on someone else's pictures. Every body is proportioned different even if the women had the same stats as you. 375 ccs can be huge on certain frame and not as big on others.
I hope you get the results you hoped for this secon time around :-) and congrats on the wedding :-)
J
November 10, 2016
Thanks! And yeah. He didn't even measure my BWD and give me a min or max implant size. Just agreed that because my ribs are wide, that HP would be too narrow which I already figured. I'll post an update after I speak to him

November 21, 2016
Did you have your appointment yet?
I had my BA Thursday. Did you feel lots of pain 2 days post op?
J
November 21, 2016
Yes. I'm not going to go bigger. Right now anyway. He says that for 100cc, the risks are too great to do it again. And I had then done on a Wednesday morning and I felt fine by Friday. Stopped taking pain meds by Saturday morning. Just felt tight. Like when you are post birth and your milk comes in or get engorged.

I think they look perfect and I wouldn't change them because at about 1 year mark they settle into place besides if you do gain weight later as you get older they will grow and stretch out your skin. The bigger you go the saggier they will be in the future because of the weight on them. If you still want a bigger size full C cup then you have to get 425cc - 450cc. Best of luck.. Again I think they look perfect because you still have the choice of wearing a push up bra if you want as compare to if you go bigger then it doesn't look as natural if you use a push up bra.
J
November 11, 2016
True but o got implants to avoid needing a push up bra. And the ones that I have , have to be done up at the tightest setting because they don't squish easy like real boobs. Which is extremely uncomfortable. My appt is Tuesday so I will see what he says.
P
November 11, 2016
They will squish once all your swelling goes down and they settle into place. Keep massaging them.
J
November 12, 2016
... I've had then since April loll. They've settled.

I haven't been swollen since like 1wk post op.

They fit you and are lovely . Do not get larger ones. Look at my explant review - and you'll see what going too big does to you. Holy cow do I regret it. Now I'll never look normal. Love where you are girl! You have a beautiful outcome. You'll have issues - and there will be opportunities to tweak. Plus as you get older, if you gain weight - have kids - hull double where you are now. Another thing - that size will stay put 500 will get heavy and fall faster. Just trying to help you out. Bigger boob's are never the answer to anything - for real.

I had my tubes tied when I had my son last September and have never gone over 140lbs not pregnant (160 when I was pregnant both times). But I'm not going bigger. My Dr doesn't recommend it :(

This is a little bigger than how I'd like to look. Not all the time. But at least have them big enough to achieve a sexy look like this. And at 5'6 140lbs ish, I think 575cc-600cc would do that and not have me look too extreme. Unless I wanted to anyway.

Do u know what size she has? They look huge but I know some models wear ultra push up bras too.. To get the exagerated look. I would say 500-600 is a good estimate. Have u scheduled your revision?
J
August 10, 2016
I'm not sure. And yeah. I wouldn't want that look on day to day basis. But if I wanted to, then at least with 500cc I could. And not yet. I have an appt some time in September.

August 9, 2016
If I were u I wouldn't go for a voluntarily revision just for size, this early.
We all know implants may require revisions for rupture, capaular contractual, future sagging, etc. So why not enjoy your smooth recovery, healthy state of implants for now & do what u like to do later or in 10 years?
I got 305cc last week & I set my own expectation that size can be a little unpredictable so whatever i end up, I am going to love thrm, till the next round!!
Sorry if I am not pushing u to go for it now! But we are all here to play good cops & bad cops like friends do :)
J
August 10, 2016
I understand. But there's no way I can justify spending 8grand (after interest because I'm paying monthly) and then giving up the chance to have them done again and get the size I WANT, for only half of the price. I HATE them. I have no cleavage unless I wear a padded push up bra. I can't spend 16,000$ for two breast augmentations I'd rather pay 10,000$ in total then hate my body for the next 10yrs

August 10, 2016
Good luck & hope you feel super happy soon :)
I didn't factor cost/discount you may get for fixing them now vs when there's a problem down the road & you are right happiness is priceless :)

Do what makes you happy sweetie! I will trade mine out too as soon as I can get the timing right. I remember being so upset after my BA that I spent the first six months crying everyday and then I am still unhappy with them to this day.
I hope that your PS can give you a discount. Mine completely wrote me off so I'm searching for a new doctor but I will pay the extra money rather than not be happy :-/
Good luck to you!! Keep us posted! Xx

You should maybe consider
High profile. I can only go by surgeon but it seems many are not really hearing what we want but also most of us don't know what we want. Initially I talked about looking "natural" but the more I thought about it , I do want to appear on the fake side. Most women who have natural breasts are not perky after a certain age so to be perky the implants will most likely look augmented. I was
Going to get moderate plus but after I told ps I wanted to be at least a D she suggested the HP to get me thr volume that moderate would not give me:. There is so much more to it than I ever expected but we only really know until we go thru it .

You are absolutely right... I think that there is a lot of miscommunication between most doctors and patients. Especially when I go on this site and find numerous reviews from people disappointed after their BA. I too wanted a natural look but I also wanted to be a good size.. Which my PS told me that I could not have both. I ended up too small by accident but I know that I would have compromised a faker look if I could have had a better size (this was more important to me).
Anyways, it all comes down to finding the right doctor.

I did so much research, hours upon hours, before my surgery. Knowing what I know now I would have a hundred other questions and way more wish pictures. I am happy with my results but without clothes I wish they were bigger. My ps told me she does not believe we lose cc's behind the muscle . I disagree completely with her. I also know that once I settled they got smaller , another thing she said was not true. I guess we live and learn
J
August 16, 2016
I am entirely with you on all of that! I was ecstatic when I first had them done. But I agree they got smaller as they settled. I have my appt next month, in September. So I'm hoping I can get a revision in October. There's SO much [RS bleep] with my job now though, I am taking them to court because they refuse to give me my position back (I just came back from mat leave Aug 8) and they have me cleaning upstairs for the parts dept... So ridiculous, I've been here for 3yrs in January.

August 15, 2016
Can I just say that your beasts look great now. They never look great the first month but that's just my opinion. At 4 mths they look real. I think the size is natural and thy have dropped well. Your measurements are the same as mine so I'm really happy with the before and after pics. I know your worried about one being slightly bigger but it's really not that noticeable and if anything it just keeps them natural looking as Noone has 2 perfect same size breasts. I have read a lot of posts on here and sometimes I wonder if the first few months after breastfeeding augmentation clients are maybe a little too obsessed? Your breaststroke look great. They compliment your body and shape. I think you made some good decisions.

4 months post-op (still unhappy)

Well I had to postpone my revision appt consult until September. I missed the one spot and the earliest they had wasn't til the end of August. And my next spot was middle of September.

I am still so unhappy with the size when I'm naked. In bras and bathing suit tops they look awesome. And big! But wearing no bra in just a tank top, you can barely even tell I have boobs at all, let alone fake ones.
He said that my left one was bigger than the right before surgery but not SO much bigger to need a different sized implant. But I think that I will need two different sizes. As my left is WAY bigger than my right boob. You might not be able to tell, but I can.

I'm thinking of doing a revision and going from the 371cc silicone I have now, to about 575-600cc IF my Dr thinks my body can handle it. These are the only photos from today I took just to show how disproportionate they still are with my stats. I'm 5'6 and 138lbs.
I still have a "shelf" from my two c sections that is stubborn and no matter how hard I try to work out and eat healthy, I won't go away.

I feel the exact way, they disappear if braless in a tank . Ugh. One thing my PS told me
But never really underrated too now is with my small BWD and little tissue and this being my first "rodeo" my body can only allow so much implant but the big boobs we see on women, that is their second or third "rodeo" . It takes
Steps to get there. I also love
The way I look in clothes and a padded bra and even nude but wish they could be bigger out of clothes. You look great! Keep remembering where you started compared
To now

Yeah. I totally understand! I am happier now than I was pre BA. But I just can't help it. I was promised a size and look and I don't feel I got it :(

August 3, 2016
Ugh. I feel you!! My recovery went SO fricken wonderful and smooth that o sit here and think, what if round two is horrible?! My scars were really faded but because I tan, they're back. Not bad though. I think I'd be 575cc max because they say 200cc is 1 cup size (mind you. If I'd have known that before hand, I'd have probably went 400+) and I researched for months before I got them and talked to two different women also. A girl who went to the same Dr as me got 350 (25cc smaller than me) and has WAY bigger Boob's and we were roughly the same size pre op. But she is a lot tinier than me weight wise. I was thinking I could start waist training and then with a smaller waist they'd look bigger. But I shouldn't have to do that. I was promised to be a size and expected it.

It still puzzles how women with similar stats can come out so differently. My recovery was so easy too. Would hate to be greedy and go under again and then risk compollications. Nothing wrong with wearing a lightly padded bra or push up . At least I now I have "real boobs" in the bra cups as opposed
To silicone inserts lol
J
August 3, 2016
Lol. This is true! And I agree with you 100%
But the fact I'm still saddened by their size when I'm naked, sucks. Especially because I got these so I didn't have to wear padded push up bras lmao

I feel ya! I am going through the same way as you and wish that I would have selected larger implants. Mine don't have much projection and I feel like they are non-existent in clothes. I think you look great now but if you are wanting to go bigger... 500/600 cc should fit nicely too! Good luck :)

August 3, 2016
Thank you! I know that my body wasn't able to go any bigger than 371 because I had asked for 375 but I am hoping that if the price is right, I can just go forward with it ASAP. The way me and the bf look at it, is ... I'm paying the 6500$ over 3 yrs which , with interest is like let's say $8000 total. Either I wait til they're paid off and pay for them in full again and end up paying like 15,000$ in boobs. OR I pay up front now (as long as they're not more than 3grand) and pay 10-11,000 in total.
I'm really hoping that he is going to be on my side when I show him pictures of what I look like vs what we both looked at of other women with my stats. Because my results aren't even close to the same :(
