34F after uplift with implants anyone?

Hi all, ive seen my surgeon and he suggest 295cc moderate profile 98% full implants with uplift.  He said this would probably make me an EE/F. A different surgeon suggested 230cc low profile to make me a D/DD. The inbetween size is 260cc.  Im worried the 295 will be too big and wondered if anyone would be willing to show me a picture if they are similar size? Im size 12 clothing, 5'7 and currently a 34D empty and low! 

I know people wish they had gone a size bigger but i would hate regretting going too big especially as its an uplift and i want this to last :0)

Hiya Hun.  I didn't have an uplift, but I had 325cc implants, and that's taken me to an F. And mine don't look big at all. X

Trust your surgeon Hun, if in any doubt over size, make another appointment. Take some pics of the "look" you want to create, rather than worrying about cup size. As what you perceive to be a D cup, others may not x

From the sizing and description I'm presuming you're having have the Natrelle Responsive?

The profile differences are firstly going to make a difference. As you'll see in the diagram below, a high profile is narrower at the base with more forward projection. A low profile is wider at the base with less forward projection.



Do you know your Breast Width Diameter? This makes all the difference when choosing and implant profile.

The dimentions of the two implants are:

TRF285 Diameter: 11.25 Projection: 4.6
TRL230 Diameter: 12.5 Projection: 2.5

As you can see babe there is a MASSIVE difference in how these implants are going to look when inside your body.

If it were hun I'd personally seek another opinion preferably from a BAAPS surgeon (if money is tight you can see a BAAPS surgeon for as little as £25 at MyBreast) just give that 3rd decider of an opinion with the two others being of such a great difference. At least then with a third opinion which is going to sway either to the low or the high and help make your mind up hun.

Its a BIG decision to make babe so take your time and give it lots of thought hun. Xx

Cookie thanks for the info your am expert! Can I ask how do I check the surgeon is BAAPS registered and what does this mean over others? I'm having natrelle soft touch moderate. I prefer what this surgeon was saying as he said because of the amount of skin I have a larger implant would work better and he wouldn't use low profile as the first suggested as they would be flat and spread out. I wish it was all simple lol!

The Soft Touch implants are 100% filled babe. They're a highly cohesive implant and lessen the risk the of CC, so not the softer ones which are the Responsives and 95% filled that you first thought.

A BAAPS surgeon will have held a consultant status within the NHS for at least 6 years. They not only will be on the specialist register for plastic surgery (all surgeons doing BAs should be on this specialist register. You can check this on the GMC register) but they will also at the very least have a FRCS qualification.

They will then go through stringent testing and to become a full member of BAAPS a surgeon has to be voted in by their peers who will allow membership based on their qualifications and their skill. Their testing doesn't stop there though. Throughout their membership, they will be constantly monitored to ensure their work is up to standard and that they are up to date with all the latest techniques. These surgeons are at the top of their game babe.

Surgeons who aren't members of BAAPS may well be very good good surgeons. They should at least be in the specialist register for plastic surgery. You don't really know much more about these surgeons other than their work at the clinic. Most commercial clinics use non BAAPS members and they are generally foreign surgeons which makes it difficult to look up their background, so you don't really know anything other than what the clinic tells you. You can look up their qualifications though on the GMC register. I doubt many have a FRCS qualification.

You can find a BAAPS member in your area HERE

Just click on your location babe and then click on the names to see the surgeons qualifications and also their place of work. Xx

Sorry I'm asking you loads of questions! They said they are 98% filled so yes thats the one and what does lessen the risk of the cc mean? This will be my last daft question :-) x

Ask as many questions as you like babe. If I can help... I'm happy to hun  

The Allergan Soft Touch are 100% filled. They're the new 5th generation implant. Slighter firmer than the Allergan Responsive which are 95% filled but the additional filling has lessened the risk of capsular contracture. There is always a risk of CC which can happen at any time whilst the implant is inside you no matter which implant you have. But the 5th generation implants will give the very least risk of CC

Capsular contracture

After having a breast implant, your body will create a capsule of fibrous scar tissue around the implant as part of the healing process. This is a natural reaction that occurs when any foreign object is surgically implanted into the body.

Over time, the scar tissue will begin to shrink. The shrinkage is known as capsular contraction. The rate and extent at which the shrinkage occurs varies from person to person. In some people, the capsule can tighten and squeeze the implant, making the breast feel hard. You may also experience pain and discomfort.

Capsular contracture is an unavoidable complication of breast implant surgery. Everyone who has breast implants will experience capsular contracture to some degree and it is likely further surgery will be needed in the future.
