    Default Thinking about getting my boobs re done

    So i had my implants put in july 2002. so its been 8 yrs. Ive always been very happy with them. I got 425 cc unders saline mentor smooth rounds. (amazing i can remember all of that but not my checking acct #..haha)
    anyways,lately i feel like they have gotten smaller. I dont think they actually have but either way I wanna get them bigger. I fill out a 36 C cup right now but id like to be a full D.
    I am calling for a consult today but im still having concerns such as...do i really need this? should i just leave well enough alone? what if they dont look as good as what I have now? I mean they feel great, the scar is minimal and they fall to the sides when i lay down and look pretty damn natural.
    Im not sure I want a fake look. All i know is when Im naked they just dont look big enough! Im 5'9, my jean size is a 7 or 9.. i got a bigger butt. I just want boobs to balance it,

    What do you think? Take the plunge or leave it alone?

    If the last one went well then maybe you should do it with the same surgeon. I understand wanting to balance your body out, but just be careful that you don't start fueling an obsession for constantly bigger boobs.

    Hey babe here are my thoughts on the situation. Regardless if u go thru w/ it right now or not..boobie law states it is smart to get them redone every 10 yrs anyways lol so ur not too far from that mark. And by having ur boobs done I would imagine u know the reasoning behind getting them done about every ten yrs. But anyways I honestly dont see anything wrong w/ it..and I really dont see where u would fall under that catagory of this being an obsession. To me if it was goin to turn into that..u wouldve already wanted them redone the first yr u got them. so I say if u want it go for it!! and goodluck!!

    I agree... Its almost time anyway. Arent those the same fears we all have? You will have to take the risk eventually anyway. If you are ready now then nows the time.

    Agreed that as saline implants start nearing their 10th 'birthday' the odds of an implant failure start to increase parabolically. A 'pre-emptive strike' i.e. voluntary implant replacement is a lot less stressful than waking up one morning with a 'flat tire' !!!

    As to implant size, 425cc for someone who is 5'9" tall with a few 'curves' is actually fairly small. And as we get older, we all generally get 'curvier' ... well, everywhere except our breast implants !

    Also agreed that if the same plastic surgeon who originally did your implants is still in practice, that going back to the same surgeon is probably your least expensive option !!!

    Up to you, of course, but I personally think that C sounds like a nice size for your height and build.

    That said, I'm one of those people who's naturally busty and hates it, so I really don't understand the bigger-is-better ideal a lot of people seem to have going on. Smaller ones often sit up nicer and also create a more streamlined overall silhouette.

    ^^^ well, where implants are concerned, large or small implants can be made to 'sit up nicer' ... because, unlike natural breast fat, the implant itself can contribute to the shape and firmness of the breast.

    I think going bigger would be nice for you. I have 425cc's right now and I'm a 34D and only 5'1". Needless to say, they are big haha.
    Would you opt silicone this time around?

    I think i will stick with saline. I will discuss further at my consult next week.
    At the time only saline was available. I like the way my boobs feel. They bounce, they fall to the sides when i lay down, they feel firm but not hard ya know?? I have felt someone with silicone implants and i was amazed at hoe soft and natural they felt. But personally i like the feel of mine better.
    Maybe cause im so used to them??
    Anyways, yes 425 ccs on someone who is 5'9 and pear shaped really is NOT that big. Im thinking somewhere in the 600 cc range. Whatever will give me a full D. And yes im going to use the same PS (ted eisenberg for all you philly/so.jersey ladies) and the price is actually pretty damn affordable i was surprised.

    if you want things to 'tighten up' much, I'd recommend thinking of at least 250-300 additional cc. If you don't want a whole lot of additional forward projection, go with low profile implants which will result in improved fullness and cleavage instead.

    ^^what do you "tighten up".. like a lift?? They dont really sag but i suppose they could be a bit higher on my chest..
    So you really think at least 250 cc's?? Decisions decisions. I do want them to stick out a little more. Nothing too dramatic tho!

    well given your measurements i think a D cup would look great on you. i'm surprised that 425 cc is only a C cup i thought it would be a D or so cuz i got 300 and it is a D, i am kind of hoping that they shrink to a C soon. i think you should do whatever makes you happy. i myself got a second operation and i'm so much more happy with the second pair than the first. you only live once..

    ps Ive been thinking about getting my redone too for the remaining years of my being n the industry. Its been 12 years since my second BA. I got mine very young..Id like to get them redone and can but something's holding me back...Its basically that they r already a F/G cup and other than wanting them lifted they dont really need( I dont feel they do_) to be bigger. So until i make up mind for sure either way Im not making a move. I want to be sure of what I want like I was before when I went through w my previous surgeries. I was sure of them with zero doubt.

    ^^^ well this is the classic dilemma ... having your boobs redone without larger implants virtually assures that some sort of breast tissue removal will also be required in order to 'tighten up' the breast skin. But this also means lots more linear inches of incision ... either around the nipples ( a.k.a. donut lift ) with risk of nerve damage, or via removing skin from the bottom of the breast .( a.k.a. anchor lift ) which risks angry ugly scarring.

    UPDATE:
    So im scheduled for 2 weeks from tomorrow. Wow.
    Im currently 400 cc's - dr. is thinking 650-700 to get me to a full d. he is currently measuring me at a small-medium 36 c.
    Im getting a little nervous tho. For one: I dont wanna tell many people. I know my family will deem this as unnecessary and frivolous and yeah i know i am my own person and its my body but i still would just rather not have to hear them b*tch about it.
    Two: What if they are too big? I remember feeling this way before my original BA 8 years ago and now Im like Damn i should of went bigger.
    The dr showed me pics of girls with similar body frames(height/weight) and a full D looks pretty damn good. Just cant help being nervous(and a little excited, i wont lie)

    in all probability, unless you tell them or dress 'obviously', I doubt that your family will even notice another 250-300cc !

    And if you're still talking hundreds of cc's instead of thousands of cc's no worries over being 'obviously' big !

    I guess i was just thinking with the initial swelling that they might. altho my PS said the swelling wont be like it was before. they wont be as high(like sitting on my collarbones basically!)

    ^^^ that's absolutely true since your doctor doesn't need to traumatize your breast tissue to create a breast pocket for your implants ... pockets already exist and all that is necessary is to do a bit more tissue separation around the edges to enlarge them. I would guess that after just a week the majority of post-redo swelling will already be gone.

    If you stop and think about it, 425cc rated implants have a diameter of 14.2cm and a projection of 4.1cm. 700cc rated implants have a diameter of 15.6cm and a projection of 4.9cm. So from a 'breast growth' standpoint, you're talking about an extra 0.8cm = 3/8ths of an inch in each breast, about the equivalent of taking a deep breath with your current implants ! The majority of the extra cc's will actually wind up creating improved fullness / cleavage.
