    Default 4th times a charm? Yeah a boob job thread...

    Has anyone had multiple breast surgeries? I had my first one when I was 18 (I'll be 27 in Jan.) Saline, went from AA to C. All was well but I decided after about a year 1/2 of dancing I wanted an upgrade. Got HUGE memory gel implants going from a C to a D/DD. Well I hated them. I'm a small girl 5'5'' and about 110 and not only did they look ridiculous but they felt horrible. Heavily, uncomfortable, my back and neck ached all the time, sore muscles, etc, etc. So about a year ago (after having them for only 2 years) I had them removed ignoring my PS advice to get smaller ones instead of just removal.

    Well I can't say I'm miserable without them but I am literally as flat as a board. I'd really like very small implants just so I can wear a normal bra and fill out a bikini top. I'd be satisfied with a full A very small B. I'm just worried that I've put my body through so much already I'd be pressing my luck.

    Any of you had experiance with this? Thanks!

    my own experience is that going bigger always seems to work out well. Going smaller requires an extra degree of 'talent' on the part of the surgeon.

    In theory, having implants put back in after having implants removed is doubly complicated. The reason of course is that the 'pocket' has been empty for a fairly long time, allowing non-stretchable scar tissue to develop on the 'lining' of the pocket. While not impossible to deal with, this makes for a much more complicated surgery ( laser scalpel removal of scar tissue ? ).

    If your back hurts with larger implants, you need to work out more and exorcise those muscles to have better posture. I have 32DDD/F boobs and I'm shorter than you (4'10", 107lbs). They are 525cc's of co-gel and they look HUGE on me but that was entirely the look I was going for. I do very light weight training along with yoga/pilates to keep my body adjusted to holding them up. Big boobs don't give you back problems, bad posture does.

    Even with boobs as big as I have, I'd go bigger before I'd go smaller. Your indecisiveness is strange, though. Do you really want them at all? Three surgeries is a lot for your body and skin to take. Also, that's a lot of cash to be throwing around for elective surgeries you can't maintain or commit to. If you can't decide to keep them for more than two years, perhaps you should just do without.

    i would never go smaller. i want mine bigger but my surgeon is reluctant to do it as I have anatomical co-gel implants and he said with second surgery there is greater risk of the implants rotating.

    I have 360cc co-gels and I would love to get 460cc coz I love big breasts.

    Implants shouldnt cause back pain coz they don't weigh much. are u sure its the cause?
    my implants took me from a small b to a 30DD and they only weigh 700 grams in total.

    I heard that once you get your implants out the pocket will heal completely and then you just have smaller ones put in with no problems. Try this forum for info

    ^^^ again, if scar tissue was created on the pocket walls while the implants were in, removing the implants does nothing to remove that scar tissue. In fact, removing the implants allows the scar tissue to contract and thicken. This isn't to say that the scar tissue or other pocket 'surprises' can't be dealt with beautifully by a skilled surgeon.

    I believe that your reference of having implants removed to 'allow the breast to heal completely' refers to cases where the implant pocket has become infected. In such cases, the continued presence of implants provides a 'home' for the infecting bacteria ... making the infection very hard to totally kill off. In such cases, in order to totally clean out the breast pocket and kill off 100% of infecting bacteria it is indeed necessary to remove the implant ... but typically only for 3 months ( as opposed to a year plus ).

    Melonie do u know much about implant rotation (in anatomicals) in second surgeries? I really want to go bigger but I want to stick to anatomical and my surgeon is reluctant. I love my boobs so I want to stick to the same surgeon, I just want bigger. He said there is a greater chance of rotation - the reason for this (in my very untechnical explanation) is that the first time you get implants (and anatomicals are textured) your own cells attach to the textured implant and this doesn't happen as good in the second surgery? if that makes sense...

    ^^^ yes it makes sense - for the very same reason of pocket lining scar tissue ( which won't adhere as well to a new implant surface) that we've been discussing. I have had anatomically shaped implants with textured surface in the past, and actually replaced an 850cc rated set with a 1500cc rated set ( custom made) many years back. My surgeon used a high power xenon laser scalpel to remove ( actually, 'vaporize' ) ALL of my breast pocket scar tissue that had formed around the 850cc rated implants, so that the new 1500cc rated implants would then only be in contact with 'fresh' pocket lining tissue. Zero rotation problems with the anatomical 1500s despite crushing beer cans with my cleavage !

    Does your surgeon have a high power laser at his disposal ?

    I had all the scar tissue removed when I had the implants removed.

    Thank you. I might go for another consult and ask him about this. I am getting very lean and toned at the gym and dieting at the moment and this is reducing my breast size so I def want to go bigger. I also want my breasts to sit closer together (Im not sure if this is possible because I don't know if size itself will help this or it's just my chest shape).

    Melanie just out of curiosity what implants do u have atm?? did u prefer anatomical?

    ^^^ basically speaking, the amount of space between breasts is a function of implant rating and profile ... the higher the cc rating the wider the round implant diameter / anatomical implant width. In general, high profile implants trade away diameter / width in exchange for projection ( = bigger cup size ) , but at the expense of 'fullness' / cleavage.

    Melanie just out of curiosity what implants do u have atm?? did u prefer anatomical?
    At the moment I have Polypropylene String Implants ... which started out around 3000cc each but have gradually 'expanded'. I was part of an experimental group of 50 girls to get Poly String implants ... which the FDA has since outlawed because of the 'side effect' of slow but continual 'expansion' .

    As to anatomical implants, over the years I had 3 different sizes 850cc, 1500cc customs and 2500cc customs. The 2500's had a great shape with great fullness ... the 1500's left a bit of a gap between breasts, and the 850cc implants left a huge gap between breasts.

    Given the fact that you're already experiencing a huge gap between breasts, plus potentially dealing with an adhesion issue that could allow anatomical implants to rotate, IMHO you might want to look into round silicone implants. shows that Mentor offers round textured silicones with 4 different profiles. Start out by doing a mirror test with a couple of cut out paper plates to see how the different available implant diameters 'fit your chest'.

    thank u, u def know your stuff!!! im going to look up the string implants it sounds really interesting.

    I LOVE BIG BREASTS. I found some pictures of a girls breasts who I think are absolutely perfect and I want something very similar for myself. I think hers were about 520cc or around that and she was the same height as me.

    To the best of my knowledge, after the USFDA ended the trial and banned further use due to the growth side effect, string implants are no longer available anywhere in the world. I absolutely love mine ... because they are the only type of implants that are truly leak-proof, and because I really didn't mind the side effect. But even though I already have string implants, there is no way that I can have them replaced with newer string implants.

    PS in regard to height versus implant size, I'm only 5'3" !!! There's no reason that you couldn't handle moderate profile 600-700-800cc rated implants to wind up with awesome 'fullness' and cleavage.

    so what will u do? will yours ever need replacing? I'm 5"0. My friend has 700cc and I think that her surgeon is the only one who does implants that size in this state. the surgeons heree are super conservative. I had to argue with mine to put the biggest in that i could for first surgery. I got 320cc and 360cc (breasts were uneven) and he originally wanted to put 280cc and i said no way!! in the end he agreed that i made the right decision.

    Undoubtedly, at some point in the future, I'm going to have to replace my string implants with something different. Obviously I'm hoping to put this off for as long as possible. At the moment the only real issue is having to work out religiously in order to keep my back strong enough to carry around the 'extra weight' without pain or problems.


    My friend has 700cc and I think that her surgeon is the only one who does implants that size in this state. the surgeons heree are super conservative.
    I'd check this guy out. While I'm not familiar with the plastic surgery 'culture' of Australia, in the US and Canada there is a definite division between doctors who deal with 'housewives' versus doctors who deal with 'professionals'. Way back when, I went through the same sort of reluctance on the part of my favorite local plastic surgeon. However, once I got the point across that my interest in breast implants was primarily a business investment as opposed to personal aesthetics, his 'attitude' changed significantly. Or to put it bluntly, if you come clean with your own plastic surgeon about your exotic dancing business, the fact that 'bigger tits means bigger tips', and that you realize that you'll need to have your implants downsized once you retire etc. he may change his mind.

    In the final analysis, there simply is no substitute for higher cc rated implants when fullness / cleavage is concerned.
