I had different sized breasts too so my surgeon used a bigger implant in the smaller one. Only 30cc difference but it has matched mine up almost perfectly. Unless you get massive implants (over 650cc) you probably won't need a lift anyway xx

Does anyone know if the 1100-1500cc ones have warranties?





Even though I correspond privately with the ladies here who are most informed about these 'XL implant subjects' I still like to update this thread in case any other girl has similar issues and goes looking. It's also a handy way to think out loud!
With the expanders, apparently they can look pretty freaky when they're first installed since they are anatomically shaped and not fully filled. Due to the nature of my business I cannot really afford to look like this for a few months. I did read the account of one woman who got expanders from Dr. Foster; she said she basically threw such a fit post op about the initial unsightly appearance of the expanders that he was willing to fill her up with some extra to make her happy. Maybe he'll acquiesce with me too if tell him that whether or not I choose him depends on whether or not he can make me look normal sooner..........
Of course the plot thickens. I really only want expanders if I can leave them in for a while; at least a few years. Unfortunately they aren't meant for this and the warranty is voided after 6 months. I have read about a woman who left hers in and one ruptured at 20 month. Granted, this can happen with any type of implant, I need to ask Dr. Foster what the rate of early rupture is. Best case scenario would be of his office will have numerous stories about women who have had them in for years no problem.............
Thing is though, I think custom XL silicones also have no warranty and high risk of rupture too, so really if the risks are the same it's probably cheaper and more convenient to stick with the expanders! At least they're stock and they're driving distance away, and they're probably cheaper!
The safest bet is probably to get the 1500s overseas(unless they too have no warranty and a much higher rate of rupture), although unless I can get them in low profiles(I currently have hp) I'm really not convinced that 500ccs will be a significant upgrade.
On Monday Dr. Foster's office will be open and hopefully I can get in contact with someone in England about the profiles available for the 1500s.
All I know is I want to get into the implant manufacturing business! You telling me that with today's technology there is no way to make a virtually leak-proof gooey ball????![]()

The Mentor Spectrum adjustable implants aren't technically classified as 'temporary duty' tissue expanders. Instead they are classified as adjustable but permanent breast implants. They are round, and highly elastic ... thus you wouldn't have to deal with a situation of massive rippling and 'flat tire' aesthetics even if the initial fill was still only in the 1000cc ballpark. You would however instantly void the warrantee once your doctor filled these implants past their 675cc official implant rating.With the expanders, apparently they can look pretty freaky when they're first installed since they are anatomically shaped and not fully filled. Due to the nature of my business I cannot really afford to look like this for a few months.
As I posted earlier, Mentor Spectrum implants ( rated at 675cc ) have been tested all the way up to 3000cc fill according to a Mentor representative. I seriously discussed this option with my own plastic surgeon ... and he in turn discussed it with the Mentor rep ... right after the FDA rules banning importation of non FDA approved large custom implants was enacted. However, because the implant shell is round, they are going to take on a VERY round, firm and fake appearance once you get to the 1500cc fill level.





^^^ yup, true ... but ... if you have a custom implant fail, you're still going to have a 3-4 month wait while a warrantee replacement custom implant is manufactured. You're still going to have the costs issue of travelling outside the USA plus paying for the replacement surgery. You may have additional concerns if the 'failed' implant allows your breast pocket to contract during the 3-4 month wait ( to the point where the warrantee replacement implant will no longer 'fit' inside the contracted breast pocket ), etc. From a professional career standpoint, purchasing a third 'spare' custom implant is almost an 'essential' investment if you're going to go the custom implant route.





Where do I keep the spare stored? Since I can't take it with me.
I don't think Dr. Foster works with the Spectrum adjustables. The 'ball syndrome' doesn't sound very appealing but once you slap a bra over 'em I doubt it's too obvious. Naked I don't care because guys who love big fake boobs usually aren't that picky lol.
I need to know if the British 1500s are available in low profile!!! I really don't think going up to 1500ccs will make a big difference, unless I can switch the profile(since LPs look bigger to me). 500ccs is not a lot on a 5'10'' chick.![]()





TBH though, I haven't even spoken with someone aside from an office girl and I don't like these MYA people. I'm calling them tomorrow and if I don't like what I hear or if they give me the run around I'm giving up on them because I will have lost all faith.





I can't believe this is so difficult for you. How shitty.
I don't have a lot to offer advice wise for LARGE implants, but I'm going to agree with what you said about low profiles. I think they would look better, and make a bigger impact that just upgrading another 500cc's and keeping HP's. I don't know that 500cc's would be that noticeable a difference projection wise (compared to what you already have, that is), or at least enough of a difference to be worth going under the knife for.
Don't stop until you get what you want. It's out there, you just got to hunt it down.





If Dr. Foster's office says they have seen plenty of long lasting left in expanders I think I'm just doing that. I realize that I change my mind a LOT, but it's because my factors keep changing all the time lol.
I should mention that I did meet the famous Dr. Pousti and I realized that I have a bizarre issue: I get the hots for every plastic surgeon I deal with. I have a feeling that Dr. Foster, should I meet him, will break this spell..... Even my first PS the youngest Dr. Umanski, he was a good 2 feet shorter than me and I still dug him! Dr. G at the LJCSC is to die for, Dr. Quiroz was pretty hot, there was something about Pousti I liked.... what the hell??
Dr. Pousti said that he has zero ruptures, I'm not sure if he meant just with extremely overfilled implants or in general, but it's good to know that the extremely overfilled ones aren't popping off left and right which is what I feared. I'm still not going to him though, I don't care for his work.





At the office of the European surgeon who puts in your custom made European implants !!!Where do I keep the spare stored? Since I can't take it with me.





^^^That makes me super nervous. My worst nightmare, upon calling the surgeon to set up removal and replacement surgery is them going "We can't seem to locate it.....don't worry we'll pay for a new one, we'll order it ASAP....." )
.........
I spoke with a British patient coordinator, she says seeing the doctor in person is usually a must when ordering custom implants but she's going to show my pics to Dr. Singh when he is back in her clinic next week. Because I'm only going up to 1500 from 1000 I *might* have a chance at not needing a real consultation.
Aaaaaand unfortunately they only make custom XL cogels in high profile...........That does not make me happy.
ETA someone from MYA just contacted me and said the maximum size was 1600 not 1500, I hope she's right.
ETAETA #%#@^&#%@%!! I just don't know! I'm looking at women who have the size implants I want and I KNOW that 500-600ccs is NOT going to get me there. The choice between expanders or cogels is basically the choice between size or longevity. Size or longevity size or longevity size of longevity......??

^^^ well, without question, custom made 1600cc rated implants are going to have an asthetically superior appearance and a more 'natural' level of firmness than massively overfilled saline implants.





I don't want massively overfilled salines anymore, the choice is between expanders and XL cogels....I saw a pic of one woman with expanders and they looked very nice. Although them moving around could be a potential pain in the ass since they are anatomically shaped.![]()





They only make the CoGels in a HP? If that's the case I see your dilemma in Cogels vs. Expanders.





Yes! How stupid. They're not truly 'custom' then damn it!!! Dr. Foster's office isn't open till Wednesday..... If I go to Dr. Foster I may have to live in Lake Tahoe for two months minimum. After hearing horror stories about other patients of his who had to go to other doctors for fill ups I only want him to do my fills. God why does this fucking shit have to be so goddamned complicated. If I didn't absolutely need a revision I might just throw in the towel.





I forgot about Dr. Domanskis in Newport Beach...... I hear he is super expensive, but he might be willing to fill me up a lot quicker than Dr. Foster would and that right there could be worth it since I'm having a real sucky time trying to work out the logistics of expansion with Foster.
Since I'm moving I figured that if I went with Dr. Foster, I'd get rid of my place here and then sublet a place in Lake Tahoe during the expansion process. That's a pain in the ass though because I'd rather move once, not twice, but I'm not willing to travel to and from Lake Tahoe for each refill. Way too expensive and inconvenient. The biggest issue with going to Lake Tahoe though is driving there....that shit is up in the mountains and I am TERRIFIED of mountain driving. Hoping I could figure out a not-so-treacherous route up there, even if I have to drive an extra day to come in from another direction I don't care!!!
With Dr. Domanskis I could move to my permanent residence a hell of a lot sooner and I have no problem doing the Vegas/OC drive.

It sounds like expanders might be your only option.
Unless you can locate some co-gels over 1500cc (which is unlikely).
Melonie is right about the spare you can leave it at the surgeons office in case you ever need it.
I wouldn't worry about it being used by someone else, but like Melonie said the cost of flying over to the UK again should anything happen would be a pain.
Side note : Is there any way of contacting any of the models who have recently gotten co-gels over 2000cc in the US ?
I assume it would be quite a closely guarded secret but you could always try and ask anyway.
What have you got to lose ?





Since the imposition of the new US FDA rules regarding 'specific medical device approvals', to the best of my knowledge essentially ALL implants being placed in the USA are limited to 'catalog' implant shell sizes. This typically means 800cc or so. Granted that there are a handful of doctors that are willing to overfill 800cc shells by HUGE margins !!!Is there any way of contacting any of the models who have recently gotten co-gels over 2000cc in the US ?
... but the 'importation' of custom made large silicone implants that lack a US FDA 'specific medical device approval' for placement by an 'above board' US surgeon in an 'above board' US medical facility simply isn't happening anymore ! Talking out of school, there's too much financial risk for any US medical facility to jeopardize their gov't approval by allowing a non-FDA approved procedure to take place, and there's too much financial risk for any US plastic surgeon to wind up in court re a malpractice lawsuit involving a non-FDA approved procedure.
I would also add that the 'huge implants' niche of the adult entertainment industry is now becoming dominated by European girls ...
... which actually leaves a huge niche market 'void' just waiting to be filled by any enterprising American girls who is willing and able to pursue the 'offshore' option to obtain 'major league' custom implants.
Because of citizenship / work visa issues, the new European huge implants girls are prevented from doing much 'work' in the USA. The remaining American girls who got huge implants prior to the latest FDA regulations taking effect ( including myself ) are all getting older, with every 'retirement' creating a niche market opening. The remaining American girls are also all facing the strong possibility that any 'problem' developing with their existing implants will force them back down to an 800cc implant shell size ( due to unavailability of 'repair parts' i.e. no longer 'legal' replacement custom implant sizes ) thus knocking them out of the niche market as well whether they choose to retire or not. For example google 'Tiffany Towers' ... who was forced to replace her 2500cc silicone implants with 800cc saline implants, and after one unsuccessful attempt to remain in the niche market was basically 'driven out' by dis-satisfaction from customers who previously loved her ( proving that the niche market is all about cup size !!! ).
IMHO this combination of circumstances is creating a scenario of a steady / increasing 'demand' versus a rapidly declining 'supply' ... which is the classic economic scenario for any new 'suppliers' coming into the market being able to earn huge profits !!!

When I read the posts of the girl you recommended to me on JBI she said that XXL custom cogels could be ordered but she was horrified because she was quoted $12,500 for *just* the implants. With Dr. Foster, he orders them and writes the girl a prescription for them, then she has to travel to the country where they're made, pick them up and bring them back into the US(since having a Dr.'s prescription is the only legal way to bring 800+ implants into the US). With Dr. Domanskis he orders them and then installs them in his Italian office(I assume).
It would still be cheaper and more convenient to just stick with expanders! With ordering 3 XXL cogels the cost of everything(surgeon's fees and travel....) combined could easily be 25k+.
I have a consultation with Dr. Domanskis on September 2nd. Still haven't heard back from Dr. F so gotta call them AGAIN am Montag. I forgot that he has an office in Sacramento, so the treacherous way to and from Lake Tahoe isn't an issue, it's a long flat road to Sacramento.![]()





^^^ it sort of goes without saying that if you're on a 'tight budget' that custom European made silicone implants plus the necessary travel to Europe are more or less off the table.
However, there is a bright side. If you go with overfilled saline implants / saline expanders now that get you into the 1600+ cc size range, if and when you're ready for another 'upgrade' your breast pockets would probably be able to handle 2500cc custom silicone implants the next time around. That's enough size to start being taken seriously by the 'huge boob' fetish market ... at which point even a $25k 'investment' could result in a very rapid 'payback' !!!





I think the folks at JBI have some kind of racket going on........
Why is the word Thailand not allowed? It's almost like they don't want the dames on there to know about such inexpensive options.........![]()





^Nail on the head there....
I guess the American PS's that 'volunteer' their information on that fourm don't want their competition advertised. Which is sad.
Lovin the info on this thread.
I want to upgrade from my 1000's and am trying to see what my options are too. I don't think 1500 co-gels are quite going to get me the size I want - though it might be my best option. I think I want around 2000cc. Is the only real way to do that to get 800 saline and really overfill? That amount of overfill (more than double) scares me a bit lol. Can I get somewhere 1200-1400 shell saline and hav those overfilled?
I'm 5'4 and slim and want HP's for some serious projection lol!!!!!![]()
