    Default I want big boobies!   lol

    I've thought about it (silently) for a long time, and now I've decided that I want to get BA. I've done alot of research (though I'm nowhere near finished) and I have a decent idea of what I want. I was thinking large c/small d, unders... but I was wondering about TUBA as opposed to the armpit incision. I really don't want scars on my breasts. I can handle them on my armpits, but I've heard the healing time sucks. I read that the TUBA approach is alot less painful and does less damage to breast tissue since there is no cutting into the actual breast. But then there's the silicone... cohesive gel... which can't be done with TUBA. Argg it's so frustrating! I just want nice large breasts with minimal/no scarring... why does it have to be so difficult???

    Anyway, I was just looking for some referrals as to surgeons? I have a few in mind already, but extra input only helps. (And also input about type/incision locations would help out alot too!)

    After all, I've never done this before. Being my first time, I don't want to regret it!

    Hi Reznor,
    How about nipple incisions? the pictures i've seen heal very well leaving near enough no visible scar.
    Also you may want to consider overs if you do a lot of
    dancing/work out.
    I can defenitely recommend mcghan cohesive silicone gel they feel v.natural already(just over 1 week post-op) and with High Profiles you get a lot more projection.
    Hope this is of some help to you,
    Goodluck in your quest for bigger boobies!!
    Luv
    Babe

    Yes I got a nipple incision and it's healing really well - hardly noticeable even in regular light. In the club no one notices at all - the guys who don't know me thing they're real and I've only had them 5 weeks!

    I got overs though, because I already had C cups and unders would have looked ridiculous. If you have small boobs unders would look good on you, but they will tend to have more of that higher, firmer faker look.

    I have heard that TUBA and armpit incisions are more difficult for the doctors to place correctly, and therefore have a higher chance of looking less-than-perfect. Nipple and crease incisions go straight into the boobs and make it easier for the doc to place perfectly. But crease incisions seem to be more visible than nipple incisions.

    Silicon will be difficult for you to get in the US. You'll have to qualify for a study and this being your first time you won't qualify for a study (unless the doc fudges on some forms and I'd be leary of that). I have saline, and they were quite firm at first but now they are rather soft and natural feeling. Everyone is amazed at how nice they look and feel! Customers don't even know they're fake unless they already knew me from before or someone tells them. I was a little worried about the saling being too firm but it's definitely not.

    When looking for docs, look for ones that are certifed by the American Board of Plastic Surgery - this ensures they're also certified as surgeons and have experience. Also, make sure they have either certified surgical facilities or use hospital facilities because some docs use private surgical facilities that may not be up to par. Implantinfo has lots of great information and resources - scour the whole site!

    Where are you located? I used Dr Jon P Trevisani for my surgery and everything was fantastic! He is in Orlando, FL. Surgery fees in FL are pretty low compared to other areas of the US, and even with travel costs it can be less expensive or comparable to getting it done elsewhere. There are good docs in FL too!

    Reznor, I'm assuming from your post that you're a natural A or small B cup ? I'm also assuming that you live in the USA ? If so, then Bridgette is absolutely correct that silicone implants are not available to first time patients unless a) you have a particular breast condition that justifies it (like tubular shape, reconstruction after cancer surgery etc.) or if you go to a doctor who will "bend" the rules and certify that you have thin breast skin or one of these particular breast conditions needed for first time silicone implant approval. Silicone implants are factory sealed filled to full size, so there is no way a doctor can "stuff" these in through a small incision, whereas saline implants can be "stuffed" in empty and filled by a tube after they're in place using a very small incision.

    The doctor I use (Gerald Johnson of Houston - ) is the inventor or the TUBA procedure, has done literally thousands of boobs using the TUBA procedure, and can make great looking breasts using TUBA over the muscle.

    I also want to point out that from an A cup point of view that large C cups might seem like "big boobies" but they're really not. Another unfortunate fact about implants in the 300-400cc size range (which I'm guessing is the size you're talking about) is that they also have a small diameter as well as a small volume. If you wear a 30 or 32 bra size this is no big deal, but if you wear a 34 or 36 bra size the small diameter implants can create a large gap between your breasts (kinda like the 2 doorknobs look). The only way to close this gap is to go with bigger implants which have a bigger diameter. However, bigger implants will also result in a bigger cup size.

    If you go to you can see the diameters available for different volume rated implants. Try cutting out two sets of paper plates with first a 13cm diameter (= 5 1/8") to simulate 325cc implants, and then another two with a 15cm diameter (= 5 7/8" ) to simulate 550cc implants. Then stand in front of a mirror and hold the sets of plates up over your boobs. This will give you a very good idea how much of a gap you'll be dealing with when you get real implants of various cc volume ratings. One of the main reasons that some implants wind up with a "fake" look is because of an unnaturally large gap between breasts.

    I don't know if I can go to New York... it *may* be possible. It would all depend on if a friend didn't mind me crashing there for a while.

    I was just wondering why normal breasts don't qualify for the silicone? It makes me want to have some sort of qualifying thing just so I could get them lol.

    Bridgette, the picture linked from the site you gave me (the pic of the girl in the study I guess) is awesome... makes me want him to do my BA! I guess I might as well consider him... how much does he charge?

    Argg this is so frustrating! If consultations didn't cost money then I'd be talking all of this out with them...

    Reznor, if you can find a doctor in your area who is participating in the cohesive gel studies, then you don't have to qualify to get them. That is for regular silicone, you can get the cohesives even if this is your first BA. McGhan (now called Inamed) just reopended their study, Mentor's study is also open, and Silimed may still have a few slots available for their study. Inamed and Mentor have studies with textured anatomical implants. Silimed's study is with smooth round. Just go to their websites and contact them about getting names of surgeons in your area.

    If anyone knows of any PS in Alabama (where I'll be moving) or IL that is doing the cohesive gel trial, please let me know. I can't find anything on particular PS's in the trial.

    Wow, that's a tuffy! If you get in on cohesive study, you have to agree to follow-up visits over the next 10 years. If you get your BA in IL and then move, it might be hard for you to keep your appts. On the other hand, if you're not planning on moving for a few more months, you may miss out on the studies alltogether. There is limited enrollment, and the slots fill up quickly. There's always Canada for the cohesives!

    Yes those pictures were a big reason I wanted to check out Dr Trevisani in the first place. Now that my boobs have dropped mine look very much like hers only bigger (but I'm a bigger girl and had bigger boobs to begin with). What Melonie says about smaller implants leaving a bigger gap between the breasts is true. That is a big reason for implants looking so fake. Too many girls and docs are too rigid with wanting a C-D cup when what would really look best on them may be something a little bigger. Trust me a slightly larger size that looks more natural is much better than a C-D cup that looks like two baseballs strapped on! Of course it all depends on what you already have and how big your frame is. When I was going to consultations most docs didn't want to go as big as I wanted, but Dr Trevisani actually told me I needed to go bigger than I thought to get the look I wanted. Also, if you're moving to Alabama it's right next to Florida so it would be easy for you to travel there. The docs in Orlando don't charge for consultations so you can go to as many as you want there, then head over to Sea World and Universal for a little fun!

    If I were really concerned about not having any scars on the breasts I would seriously consider Melonie's doc in Houston for the TUBA incision. I really don't think I'd ever consider having surgery in New York simply because it is just so damn expensive there and great doctors can be found all over the country.

    Not to try to discourage you from seeking out the cohesive silicones, but I'm really happy with my salines. They really are surprisingly soft and jiggly on me! I'm surprised at how natural they look - everyone is really shocked at how nice they look and feel. I and everyone I know really did expect them to look and feel more fake than they have turned out. Anyway just to say you shouldn't discount saline altogether as an option and don't be disappointed if you're unable to get into a study

    Good luck and keep us posted!

    i wanted to add a few things. i had the nipple incision and i wouldnt do it again to much feeling loss at first and i still have one numb spot after five years!. i used to think the same as bridgette about the armpit placement but i have seen approx 20 boob jobs this past two years that are thru the armpit that are awsome. ALL of them are under the muscle and they dont look fake or too high. mine are under and they look like i was born with them. most people i see with overs get the ripple effect in the bag. brigette your docter will NOT do unders at all he refuses. i have seen tons and tons of his work too. not to say he doesnt do good work and yours look great, but i always take exception to a surgeon that wont do all procedures open to him. if i do have mine redone i will still stick with saline (as i remeber seeing the effects of silicone leaks years ago) will go under again and have a armpit incision. the ones i have seen lately are like this and i love em!

    Wow I didn't even know my doc wouldn't do unders because I never asked about that - I wouldn't have unders anyway because of the boobs I already had. Would have looked terrible on me. Unders can look really great if the doc does good job of placement and the girl takes care of them - depends on the person and what they have to start with. I think unders look best on girls with small or no boobs to start with, as they don't have much tissue to work with and cover the bag. I had alot of tissue to work with. Next go round I don't have any idea what I'll want - too soon to tell and don't know the options that might be available then.

    I have heard the silicone cohesives are placed over the muscle. Is the true? I would be interested in that if I can get it next time.

    i have the cohesives and they are over, but could'nt say if that is standard practice as i also started off with quite a bit of tissue a D cups worth?

    just a question, why would anyone put silicone in their body? i know they try to say they are safe now but i know better. i have seen first hand the results of silicone leakage. and let me tell you it was horrible. they are still in litagation over the silicone implants.

    The silicone cohesive gel implants are not supposed to leak into your body. The bags come pre-sealed from the factory so the risk of failure is far less. Supposedly the most common cause of implant leakage is valve failure - if you get an empty bag implanted then it's filled and sealed inside your body, it makes sense that it'd be more likely to spring a leak than the ones that are pre-sealed from the factory. Also the cohesive gel is supposed to stay in place even if the bag does rupture, so the risk of health problems are supposedly lower due to the gel's tendency not to leak into your body tissue. I'd seriously consider getting this for my next BA, but there is always risk, you never know!

    It was my understanding that the cohesive gel was of a jello consistency; If you cut it in half it won't leak.

    Did you go to a consultation yet? His staff is great! Yes I think he does very natural-looking work. My new toys have dropped into a very nice shape already - I couldn't be happier! When you talk to them tell them the girl who came in from Puerto Rico in April says hi!

    It is, when i went for my consultation the surgeon sliced one in front of me and then squeezed it,hung it up side down with the gel exposed with nothing coming out/apart.

    cohesive gel by itself is thicker/firmer than the liquid saline or silicone fluid previously used. This way they don't need the extra "support" of a muscle layer covering them as much. In fact of the couple sets of cohesive gel implants I've seen, if they're placed under the muscle they may wind up being permanently firm - which would create more of a "fake" look and feel.

    Also, Velvet, the Dow Corning silicone scare lawsuits were based on a USFDA study which was never supported by similar studies in France, from the UK etc. After 10 years of being made to look stupid (and after all of the major Dow Corning lawsuits were already settled), the FDA did finally come out and admit that the same percentage of women with silicone implants developed auto-immune syndrome as did women with saline implants or women without implants - i.e. that their previous study which implied that silicone represented a significant health risk was in error! This is the reason that US implant makers Mentor and McGhan are now making a renewed effort to develop new lines of silicone gel implants. Also, for a fact, the rubber implant bags used for both saline implants and silicone implants, the bag which actually touches the inside of your breast skin - are both made of silicone rubber and always have been! Therefore the assumption that saline implants are silicone-free is simply wrong!

    well what ever the study said , i sure did run into quite a large number of people that had the audio immune syndrome and had silicone boobs. quite a coinsidece. i'm not conviced at all nor to i trust big money companies to tell the whole truth.

    That's where personal choice comes in. You inform yourself the best you can, weigh the options and decide which level of risk you're willing to live with. I'm thinking there's potential for rish with anything foreign we put into our bodies, but I'm sure I don't want any liquid silicone in my body to potentially leak all over! I think I'd be willing to take the risk with gel though, since in my mind it'd be similar to the silicone rubber bags we use for saline anyway.
