Good morning all,

I am heading out in less then a month to have my plastics done. Could someone help me with breast size? Everything I have read said that 70% of people that get implants wish they would have gone larger. So if I decide on a size I like..am i supposed to go up a size or two?

Also for anyone that had surgery in Mexico - Since we do not go for a consult until the day before, Do they let you "play" with the implants for a while to pick your size?

Thanks all!

Don't go too big. I want to get smaller implants myself. They look more natural. I am hoping to get my implants changed next year.

IMO, how natural an implant does or doesn't look or feel has more to do with the implant design itself than it's size.

The gummi/teardrop looks real in almost any size.

HAHA thats what I am getting..Been calling them my Gummi Bear Boobs! lol

I had implants put in when I was thin and 35. I was a size AA and went to a C. I'm hippy so they fit my figure. You don't want to go too big as you have to consider the pull on your back too. Many women with overly large breasts have back problems because of them. I asked my plastic surgeon for his opinion and he had the same size idea I had. Mine looked really natural (Well if perky breasts can look natural on a 35 year old woman with 3 kids). I have since lost my boobs to breast cancer (implants too ). I wasn't able to have reconstructive surgery at the time because I was uninsured so I'll be looking into that as soon as I've lost my excess weight.

My cup size is a nice c!

I have always been large! Pre-sleeve I was a 42DD. In high school a full C. I am now wearing a B when it really could be smaller but refused to buy an A cup! lol

Wow, I'm a 42 DD now and although I do like them, I felt much better (back pain wise) with a C. I can only pray for results like yours. If they get down to a B i will def need a lift!

My little sister has always been the skinny one, im talking size 0-2, a 4 on a bad day. 6yrs ago sh got a boob job and went from a A cup to a C cup. She is having them redone today to correct an issue with never damage from original surgeon and have the silicone removed and having the gummies put in. She is also going up to a full D.

Good imput on all this; but I have a different question. Just starting to look into breast surgery...since I have lost 85 lbs and am now at goal, my once full breasts (D cup) are pretty deflated. I look fine in clothes and even lingerie, but once the bra comes off it's sadly sag city. Do I get a breast reduction? Implants? I just need them to look natural and not like deflated balloons. I don't know what kind of surgery I need for this. I am so happy with the success of this surgery except for this part. Any ideas?

My plastic surgeon urged me to go one size larger and I'm glad I listened ! Now that I lost 55 lbs they look beautiful perfect and are a great size ! Ask your surgeon what size he suggests as he will follow your proportion

Queen of Crop...probably a reduction/lift where they use your own tissue to give you back your firmness and give them some perk. I think I may go that route if I eventually have plastics. I am still a 38DDD after losing nearly 100#, but they definately need "picking up" if you know what I mean.

I have the exact same issue - I see the plastic surgeon on Dec. 7 for my consult. I wonder if after they take the extra skin I will need implants!

Hi there It's all new! Will you let me know what happens when you see the surgeon on 7 Dec? I have asked for an appt too but haven't heard back yet. Would love to know what they say and how much this might cost. You can email me directly at queen@queenofcrop.com

Q of C

I'm a B now was an E (DDD) when I get implants they will be a C cup. I want cute bras and perky boobs without extra weight on my back.

How is the scarring with the lift? I'm concerned about that. There's no way in hell I will go back up to a ddd like I was 100lbs ago! I'd like to just use my own flesh and fat so that I never have to worry about having something removed down the line. (BUT the gummies are oh so appealing, and they offer them in MX where I will go again for my plastics)

I am so out of the loop...what's a gummie?

I am so out of the loop...what's a gummie?

Gummie is a reference to the material the implant is constructed out of. Breast implants started out as silicon which were a great material for the look & feel of tge breast, however caused considerable health problems when they ruptured. Then saline was introduced as an option, it was the preferred material for many years as it posed no risk if a leak developed however the recipient almost always "looked" like she had implants because as she would move around the implant would dramatically change shape. Furthermore saline didn't "feel" real as it had the feel of a bag of Water as opposed to the fat tissue the natural breast is made of.

Enter the Gummie. Innovated approximately 10 years ago & quickly gained popularity among premier surgeons(these are a bit more expensive) the Gummie is once again a silicon implant, the major change is that instead of being a silicon gel in a "bag" the Gummie is a cohisive unit it is very soft and pliable but is a molded unit that cannot leak. Unfortunately for very small breasted women the Gummie is not an option as a first surgery, because of its semi-solid form it all but requires some excess skin for insertion. Which makes it an ideal option for those who have the extra skin and are looking to restore some shape.(and can afford it). In the last 2years or so another great innovation has come about. The Teardrop Gummie is an implant that utilizes the Gummie material and fashions the implant into a teardrop shape giving a much more natural apperance. IMO the Teardrop Gummie is undetectable in both feel & appearance to a natural breast when properly placed.

After writing this I think I need to talk to the manufacturer about a commissioned sales position.

Here is a video demonstrating the cohesiveness of the material in the Gummie implant
