Thinking of going bigger

Loulou6 · 08-26-2009, 01:12 PM

Hi I was wondering if I could get your opinion. I had my breast augmentation on 29June and I went with saline partial unders. 525 on the left and 600 on the rt. I started off a full b on the rt and a small c of the left according to my PS. Originally we discussed a much smaller sized implant and the week before my breast augmentation I went with the larger size stated above. I am not a small girl build or frame. I am 165 and 5'6 so I was going for a more proportioned look. I carry the majority of my weight through my hips. I am currently working on loosing 20lbs so I don't know how that will affect my implants. I do not feel the size I went with gives me much of a different look than what I had prior. I do look fuller, but as far as size goes you cannot really tell a difference and in clothes you cannot tell at all. I was wondering how much bigger I would need to go to have a larger appearance. Nothing crazy just wanting a more proportioned look. I do have pics in my profile. I like the fact that I have a more natural look I just feel I went to small. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Good evening,

I would wait the full three months before making a decision, but if you go larger, don't go up any less than 100cc's- so that already puts you in the 625/700 range. This is a fairly large implant and at these volumes little changes don't seem like so much visually- so perhaps you need even larger? Without examining you this is the best advice I can offer at this time.

Thank you very much. The size you suggested is exactly what I have been thinking in my head. I will give it more time and then do from there. Again thank you for your time.

Hi loulou, I am the exact stats and exact cc's as you. I get so excited when I find someone here that is similar to me. I too am struggling with the too small issue. I am a whole month behind you in surgery date and I did have a lift. Just wondering a few things. Now that you are about 10 weeks have you noticed the d&f? What bra size are you in now? And what does a redo cost? Sorry for bombarding you with questions. I just feel you're the expert now.

Hi. You are not bombarding me. I am a 34DD and in some a 36DD. Its a good size don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to have super huge boobs I just think my frame could have handled more. THANKFULLY I went up a week before my surgery or I would have been way disappointed. My understanding is for a redo you pay for the implants and the anesthesiology. So around 1500 depending on PS. I'm still not sure if I want to go that rout or give it more time. They say you won't have your full results for up to a year so I'm definitely waiting til I see my PS next in Nov just to see what he says. I will say the more time that goes by the happier I get. I think I just had this size in my head and an idea of what I thought I would look like and then after I was like oh...could have gone bigger. LOL

I think you look great! If I looked like you I would be totally satisfied. Your avi picture looks hot and they do look big. My problem is I look down at my chest and don't really see a difference from before. I'm gonna post some bare pictures tonight and hopefully you can tell me if I have more dropping to do. Even thought we have very similar stats, u seems way bigger.

It's nice to see ladies that are similar in size ;-)
I'm 5'5" and 147-150 pounds. I love my curvy shape, and I too think I could have handled a lot more implant and cc. My surgeon was very modest. 450 of to 500cc. It def looks great. Since I'm still small around my bust- ribcage is 29 1/2- it looks big. Do you ladies think that the implant looks smaller or bigger over time? I keep going back and forth.
1 week out I was measured at 36d now I'm being measured at 34ddd. I'm very happy- but wondering how accurate that is and if it'll stay the same. I'm not really swollen, but I def havent dropped all the way.
Thanks for letting me bug you both.

I am feeling the same way. I have 650 unders and I look down and feel like i am the same as before. I know I am not because I was a B cup and now a D or DD. But I just had had a picture in my mind of being more round and a little more fake looking. I am hoping when this mysterious fluffing happens I will look a little fuller.
