If you're afraid of being too small and would rather wake up too big, absolutely go bigger! I think that's a good way to look at it. I was totally the opposite. I'm just having my own crisis haha, and I'd rather you hear from both sides of the coin and make up your own mind as to what you think you'd prefer. Not everyone wishes they were bigger. I hope you get the look you want

400cc would be considered a pretty large implant. It's not small. But it's very common for women to have implants that size (400-600) these days and they do NOT look like porn stars like you might imagine. It's not an unusual size by any means but if you read a lot of the answers to questions on real self, most of the surgeons would call that a large implant in terms of healing, stretch on the skin and muscles, etc. It's certainly not a conservative size like say, 200cc. Silicone gives a much more natural look though so they don't look like the saline implants did back in the day with that hal

It's so hard isn't it. I spent months agonising over sizes and now I'm about to have a revision because I feel too big!! I had a consult with Dr Kollias initially and then went with Dr Cooter. Dr Kollias recommended Moderate profile allergen (equivalent to mentor mod+) and less than 300cc. Dr Cooter recommended 350cc HP because I was narrow (11cm BWD) and the only way to get more volume was to go forward (projection). I can understand the reasoning behind this and most women would be thrilled with my outcome. I can say they look really good naked and they match my goal photos. They're just too

So I've decided to fork out the money for the mentor implants. I don't want the cohesive inspires if they're gonna be like rocks! The total procedure is gonna cost way more than I expected actually But still less than my initial BA. I feel so stupid for spending all this money on my boobs. Such a waste. If I could turn back time and never have it done, I would. But, I think if they were just a bit smaller, I could be totally happy. I just can't live with the upper pole fullness I have now. It's too much. I KNEW I wouldn't like HP but my surgeon talked me into it because I was narrow and he wa

I've just realised that the free implants are actually the inspira COHESIVES though. I don't want these. They'll be too firm for me, I know it. I'll have to call up Monday and find out for sure. If so, I'd rather pay for the implants and have the soft touch ones. I don't want to have another surgery and be unhappy with the feel. I already feel like my mentors are pretty firm but they're ok. I can squish them. If they were firmer though, I wouldn't like it. And I know the Inspira will already be slightly firmer because they have a higher fill volume but to then move up to a cohesive will be too

I saw my PS today and have decided to downsize to 275cc moderate profile Allergan implants (equivalent to mod+ in mentor, actually sliiiightly more projection and less width than the mentor mod+). That's a downsize in 75cc. There is 1cm less projection than what I currently have and only 0.2cm less in width. I wanted to go narrower again (240cc and 0.7cm less width) but my PS talked me out of it. He said the implants will be loose in the pockets and they may end up settling weird and put my nipples in an odd position. If I keep a similar width, they're more secure and I'll likely have good ski

Hey all, So I've never had lip filler but I have a very thin upper lip and am thinking I might finally bite the bullet! I don't want 'big, overdone' lips. I want them to look quite natural. At the moment my top lip so thin that when i laugh or smile it almost disappears! I just want it to look a little fuller without being dramatic. Any advice? I've heard there are different lip shapes? that people can ask for when getting fillers. I really have no idea about any of this. Anything I should ask about when sussing out different clinics to go to? Thanks in advance! <3

So I've just signed up to have some skin treatments with Laser Clinics. My skin isn't too bad. I'm pretty lucky in that I don't have a lot of lines yet, just a bit of a frown line between my brows which I've started getting botox for. My skin is a bit more on the oily side so that's good for wrinkles but i have pretty large pores on my forehead and cheeks, which I HATE. I went and had a consult with laser clinics and they've recommended starting with something called 'Skin Fit', which is a treatment package that includes 2 microdermabrasion sessions, 2 mild-moderate face peels and 2 sessions o

You are right in that subfascial placement can help narrow the gap. Having them placed under the muscle or dual plane can accentuate the gap but it depends on how developed your muscles are and how much muscle release your surgeon performs. Also, having a wider implant will help close the space between. I'm so sorry that you have CC. That must be awful!

Have you always had a large gap or is it much more pronounced now due to the capsular contracture?

Looking great already! You are absolutely beautiful anyway, might I add!

7 pets?!!! I'm so jealous! I have 2 dogs and want another but my fiancé' said no. There are 2 surgeons in Adelaide who are spoken very highly of, Dr Cooter and Dr Kollias. I had my surgery done 18 months ago by Dr Cooter. I've had no complications and he did a fantastic job. From memory, Dr Cooter was about $1k dearer than Dr Kollias but both were very reasonably priced, especially compared to APSA.

Mine were quite bulky and long! But that's because my jaw is out of whack and they tried to compensate for that with my first wax-up! But other than that, they looked pretty good! They were literally a mould of my wax-up and just made of a plastic type stuff (similar to what's in fillings). I recommend seeing your doctor and getting some good pain relief beforehand. Something codeine-based like panadeine forte or panadeine extra will do wonders for pain control. They can be quite sensitive afterwards when the anaesthetic wears off. You can't buy any codeine-based products over the counter anym

How exciting! I'd never heard of this guy until now. I did my 20 at once and it was definitely an ordeal Mind you, I had to travel to QLD to have it done (took 2 weeks) and the lab that designs the veneers is literally 15 minutes from the dental clinic so it was easy to send them back and make adjustments. The grinding can get uncomfortable, I won't lie. Mind you, I had 6 crowns (on top) and 14 veneers so a bit more grinding on top for me. My advice is to just put your hand up once the anaesthetic starts to wear off (mine did ). I tried to be brave the first session and just deal with it but

It's definitely an adjustment!! Also, you've just had surgery so you don't even know what the 'new you' looks like yet! That'll take months so your bf needs to shut-up . You're probably stressed and emotional enough and dealing with the pain on top of that, so expect to feel a little uncertain at first. I remember living in my pj's for the first week coz I just thought I looked FAT in everything. It didn't help that they were taped straight ahead like torpedoes and overs look a lot more swollen initially coz the muscle isn't compressing them down . If you have unders, that's probably why you'r

I can feel rippling in my cleavage and ever so slightly I can see it at some angles. But in clothing and bras, even where there is the tiniest bit of pressure against them, it disappears completely. I can feel the edge of my implants in my cleavage area if i try but can't get my fingers under them. It doesn't bother me because you would have to be looking for it to notice and it's only when naked anyway. I wouldn't worry about it unless it becomes very visible.

Hmm.. I don't know that jaw surgery would work in this case. Your bite is now perfect according to your dentist. I think you should consider what your dentist said about the muscles you're using to smile. I can show all of my teeth if I wish but when I 'smile' properly, my bottom teeth don't show. However, everybody's smile is different. I show ALL of my top teeth when I smile, right up to the gum line. Some people only show part of their top teeth and also part of their bottom teeth. If people are commenting that you 'don't smile properly', you might actually be doing something weird with you

My sister had 450cc implants put in a few years ago. Initially, she hated them. But after they settled and her muscles relaxed and let the implants fluff out and take on a better shape, she loves them! Are your implants under the muscle? Because if they are, they will take a lot longer to settle because the muscles are compressing them and everything is super tight. I think you just need to give it time. <3

Hi Honeylove. I'm sorry you're feeling this way I went through a period where I felt mine were too large also. Did you have round or teardrop implants? I discussed the possibility of revision with my surgeon and he was fantastic. Had I decided to go ahead with it, it would've been about 1/3 of the price of the initial augmentation. But this was because of several factors, one being that he'd been offered a free set of implants from Allergan (a new textured implant) so he was able to waive the costs of replacement implants for me. However, you still need to pay a theatre fee, anaesthetist's f

Seriously?? I don't remember mine being painful at all! They were painful after they were first put on and when they were tightened each month but removing them was a real non-event for me.

I don't think they look too big at all! Also, 3mm extra width is hardly a lot be worried about in terms of looking too matronly. I'm guessing the implants are high profile? If so, you definitely won't look matronly. They'll have forward projection as well as width.

I think it was about $240. The second consult was half of that. It was worth it though. Dr Cooter spent 45 - 1hr going through things with me, taking measurements, etc. Also, the sizers were much better than my previous consult because you're given a tight white shirt and disposable bra and the sizers are like a fake boob that moulds around your own boob (rather than just an actual implant) so it gives you an idea of how you will look post op. I felt very confident walking out of that consult.

It's hard to know. In the second pic they look huge haha. I think they could be a 250-275cc mod plus maybe (rounds) but it's always hard to tell. Sizes look different on everyone and we don't know whether those bikini tops are padded inside or how much the images have been altered. I don't think they're high profile though. They don't have a lot of projection. Either way, they look very natural and tasteful. I think the second image might have been digitally enhanced.

@Mama_Milks has XHP @diishere has XHP @Cathy has XHP, although hers are anatomicals @Rachy9156 also has XHP @Indiana01 is another XHP girl These are just some examples I found searching through the gallery.

If you have a decent amount of starting tissue, it's actually quite hard to get a very obvious and stuck-on fake look. It's more of an issue for people who are very skinny and have bony chests and not much to conceal the implant. Going under the muscle will also help eliminate some of that upper pole fullness. There are quite a few people on here who've had extra high profile implants and look great. It's only something like a cm of extra projection between the different profiles. I'd focus more on the size you want. Obviously your ribcage is too narrow to accommodate a 450cc in HP so the onl
