Hi! I would like to ask if it's possible to have expanders for the first surgery. I want to go very big but undergoing as few operations as possible.
What size I could reach with them and after only one surgery?

I don't know if any of the booby girls here can answer that question. Your plastic surgeon would be the one most likely to know the answer.

I know from what has been said here before is that most surgeons prefer to have one set of implants put in first to create and shape the pockets. Once the pockets have settled, healed and no complications arose then they are prepared to go to expanders to gradually increase the size of the pockets up to your desired size. I suppose because expanders don't have a set shape and size at the beginning it would be really difficult for a plastic surgeon to know whether the pockets he created are ok or not.

Good Luck and let us know about your experiences.

What is the price of the prosthesis 800mls you two are there in EUA, I am living in Brazil?

[flashyfair]

How are you doing? It's been a while since you received the expanders. I hope all went really well without any complications. Are you now the size you want to be? Let us know girl so we can support you!!

[flashyfair]

How are you doing? Are the small infection you had all cleared up now?

Any progress with your search for custom made implants?

I hope all is well in big booby land.

Hi Flashyfair,
The infection cleared up, thank goodness. But that clindamycin is hard on the stomach after 10 days. The custom implant search is dead in the water at this time. I tried hard, but 1500 customs are as high as they go. Gone are the days of customs being any larger. I'm having fun in boobie land and getting used to using my breast support hoist that allows me to do my treatmill without straining my back (in picture section). I need to lose a "few" pounds before next summer. The extra weight makes my girls look smaller. Overall, I'm getting used to my large breasts, and somedays they're just there. I still like them a lot, but you know how it is in life, you can't be nuts about something forever. My husband is still responsible for giving me lots of backrubs.

I wonder how Sheena 650 is doing with her new expanders?

[girl_1964]

yes I would very much like to know how it goes with sheena650.
is indeed exciting to see how Hindes girls will look like.

If you don't get that size silicones will you be able to switch to permanent salines or are you going to have to stick with the expanders and keep replacing them every so often?

The idea of wanting large breast came from knowing my well-endowed aunts. During my teens I failed to develop like them and hoped someday I could. Well life happens and finally this past summer I told my husband after I noticed too many gray hairs in my brunette locks that we better go ahead with augmentation "now or never". To say he jumped at the chance would be an understatement. We'd both wanted augmentation for me for more than a decade (so long that we were losing sight of the dream), but the motivation and money never lined up just right until those gray hairs irritated me. I knew I wanted to go quite large, and after years of research had learned about tissue expansion as a means for being able to reach sizes that are difficult at best with repeat surgeries using fixed volume implants. And, I can stop filling when I get the look I want. I have complete control of my final size.

On July 23rd, 2008 I traveled to California with my husband for a nice "plastic surgery getaway". My husband tried to take good care of me, but you just can't be fully prepared for it the first time no matter how much reading you do. My surgeon placed Mentor Moderate Plus Profile saline implants over the breast and through the inframammary crease which were rated for 800cc with the maximum overfill totaling 960cc each. Going from 0cc to 960cc was PAINFUL because I had no pocket to begin with. After 2 - 3 weeks, the pain was much improved and I started to fall in love with them.

My husband and I had discussed with my surgeon prior to the first surgery what our intentions were and he mentioned that I would have to wait at least 3 months before having the initial implants replaced with the expander implants. I was hoping to get the expander implants right from the first surgery since that makes the most sense, but my surgeon insisted on having a fixed volume implant in place for the first 3 months, maybe to allow for the pocket to become "mature".

Anyway, on November 5th, I was back in the operating room and the pain wasn't nearly as bad this time. The Mentors were swapped out for anatomical expanders from a company I'd never heard of. To be honest, I was in tears when I saw how ugly the expanders were just after surgery. They looked like triangles under my skin instead of the beautiful circular breasts I'd had the day before. My surgeon reassured me that the reason for the anatomicals was to help establish a modified pocket that would lead to a more gradual slope from the clavicle to the nipple. Well, the next day I insisted on a fill and was brought up to 1200cc. 3 weeks later I had a fill of 120cc (1320cc) , then 2 weeks after that another 120cc (1440cc), and then just yesterday I had a fill of 180cc (1620cc). My fill ups are being done by a local plastic surgeon where I live who has agreed to help me. When I reach my final goal, I will then go 10% over that volume for a few weeks and then probably have to fly to Europe to have my final silicone gel implants placed (since nothing larger than 1000ml can be placed here in the U.S.)

My next fill is planned for January 9th. The fill ups don't hurt (except that the needle has to go through the skin of the breast and into the filler port on the implant). I think my final goal will be either 1800 or 2000. My expanders are rated for 2000cc. Also, with each fill up, they are becoming more like anatomical breasts and less like the ugly triangles they were before.

I would like to state that I am not a stripper or model, nor do I have a website or plan to have one. I have a graduate degree and am married to a medical professional. I mention that only to illustrate that sometimes, even normal women just want big boobs!

P.S. I've had to really learn to dress my "ladies" down since they seem to draw so much attention now, and it can be uncomfortable at times. It becomes a safety issue and so needless to say, I prefer that my husband go with me when I'm shopping.

I hope this helps!

Hey English Girl...
I have been wanting to talk to you so bad...
I have many questions for you and would love it if you sent me a private message..
I have been looking into going with dr. Foster, and would love your opinion and insight..
I am currently a deflated A, after breastfeeding, and if you look at my pics you can see "the boobs I want"..
dr. foster said that I have enough breast tissue to get 960cc overfilled to 1000cc's but I am scared that is way too much???
is it even safe to go that big at first???
were you completely flat chested to begin with???
I dont want them to just look like balloon balls.. I want them to have a droopy sort of look..

I would love your opinions and advice!!!!!

[flashyfair]

From what I have read about your posts it seems to me you are serious about having BIG boobies.

Look at the latest pics posted by Redbonemami. This will give you an indication of what 950's look like. IMO they are large, luscious and beautiful but not excessively large on a relatively slim body.

If you look at the pics posted by Englishgirl then you get an idea what huge boobies would look like. But Englishgirl is not a 32A type of woman and on her larger frame those boobies IMO does not look excessively fake or out of proportion and they too are luscious and beautiful.

If I was you I would would decide on the look I want and then work towards reaching that goal.

Going from small to really large in one go is a risk that you take. Any surgery is a risk. The idea is to limit the risk and maximize the up side.

It takes only one serious setback to crush your booby dreams forever.

If you take to many chances or the risk is very high and the reward relatively low then you should not let booby greed get the better of you. Instant gratification does not always last.

Rather space you plans over a period of time and work toward the results you want.

See your booby dreams as a journey of delight and exploration and a period of personal growth to be enjoyed and shared with your loved ones.

You Go Girl and Best of Luck
