New Surgery Booked - 1400cc

[suzy1qtee]

Hi Everybody.

For those of you who dont know, I was fortunate enough to purchase a set of new 1000cc Silimed saline implants, 17.5cm dia and 6.5cm projection on ebay. They are being shipped as i write and have cleared customs here no problem. I have attached a photo of what size I should finish up with.

These implants could not be used in the US because having been purchased outside the "normal" channels they are deemed "unapproved" - crazy stuff. Anyway this is no issue for me as I am not in the US.

I have booked a surgery for the 2nd of January 2008. My current 1000cc High Profile Eurosilicon saline implants, 14cm dia and 8cm projection will be coming out and the new implants filled to approx 1400cc. This should give me the additional width (and hieght) I am looking for. The aim is to get danielle derek's look.

1400cc on my frame should take me from WOW to OMG. I know some of you think my current set of implants are perfect but I am certain you will approve of the new ones too!

I have attached a photo of the size I should end up with.

[espy]

Best of luck to you... I hope the procedure goes well and you get your desired result.

Suzy,

That is great news!  I know you've been looking forward to doing this for quite some time.  I'm happy for you!

So are your current 1000cc saline not 1000cc shells? But smaller rated saline implants overfilled to 1000cc? Cause, otherwise, wouldn't a 1000cc shell overfilled to 1400cc actually reduce your width slightly, while mostly increasing projection and scalloping of the shell?

And is there a reason that your current 1000cc saline can not be filled to 1400cc?

And of course, best of luck on your 1400cc surgery date, I look forward to future good news and details on the incision, etc.. and how you heal.

[Antoinette]

Congrats Suzy, that is so awesome !!! You will look amazing with 1400cc. I'm so glad to hear that you got the implants after all and that you are booked for surgery very soon. Good luck to you!

[MasterDragonfly]

Awesome news, Suzy!

And also great news that it was a non-issue with Customs where you are.

So, will the surgery be taking place in your home country, or in Thailand?  I'm guessing Thailand, but would be quite interested in hearing whether you found a surgeon close to home willing to do the work.

Hi Xenon

I currently have 1000cc High Profile shells filled to 1100cc not smaller shells filled to 1000cc.

All implants have an inherent shape moulded into them when manufactured. HP's (particuarly Eurosilicon) are more round like a beach ball. Mod and low profile tend to be more oval.

When you add additional fill the implant does expand in all directions to the shape they are manufactured with. Think of diffrent shape party ballons, some are round others long and thin. It does not matter how much air you put in they always expand in the shape they had been manufactured with.

So filling my current implants would have increased both width and projection, but I am wanting an entirely diffrent look than this would have produced.

I have attached a photo posted previously by a BEA user of 700cc filled to 1400. You will notice even with 100% more fill they are still oval shaped.

Hope this helps explain me changing the implants.

Hi MDF

Surgery in Thailand. Even with travel and hotels for two people its cheaper than a local surgeon without all the frustration of having to find someone to do it. To be honest we didnt even try to talk to any local surgeons due to past experiance.

Hi Antoinette

I have been meaning to write for so long and I was very happy to see your post a few days ago. You look great and I am happy you have rejoined us and that you are well.

Yes as you know from our emails finding these implants has been a blessing.

I an excited and nervous all at the same time with going to 1400cc. I get so much attention now (god knows how you cope!)but I just know I will kick myself if I dont go for it. Hopfully the Dr. can get me to 1400cc without any issue.

Do you think they will look too huge given my frame?

Suzy

[wanna_party_inLA]

Wow il va falloir que je me planifie un voyage a l'Ile de la Reunion! :-)  

You got me confused, I would have thought that Danielle Derek has quite a beach balls/high projection look.. but anyway I'm not such a connaisseur. In any case I hope you get what you're looking for  

[suzy1qtee]

Hi wanna_party_inLA

Trust me my breasts project out TWICE as far as Danielle Dereks!

But lack the hieght and width of hers.

Dont be confused its quite simple really

Cheers Suzy

[Psf_79]

Danielle Derek has an almost perfect look, so I really can't blame you for not choosing well Good luck!

WOW -> OMG = WOOHOO!

Dang, how did I not know this?    I always thought you had silicone.  Guess I've got my forgettory to thank.

This is definitely true if compared on a countertop (per your attached pic, which I've saved for future reference ) or if the implants were, say, dropped into a body of water.

But the shape of the implant pocket (as crafted by the surgeon) will have some say as well.  For example, if the pocket is extended upwards and laterally, then tension of the surrounding tissue (eg, skin) will tend to smoosh it in those directions.

To use your analogy, it would be like taking the balloon of a given shape and pressing it between both palms.  Guaranteed to cause the balloon to diverge from its inherent moulded shape.

That said, I don't disagree that the moulded shape/profile of the implant will have some influence over the final look.  It's just not the only vector to consider, is all.

Now I have a much better understanding.  Yeah, it sounds like you've got things well in hand.

Out of curiosity, why not Eurosilicone cohesive gels in the size you're considering?  I take it you're partial to the fake/perky look?  Meaning, the gels wouldn't have been perky enough?

Awesome.  

I know I've read the odd tidbit in Australian news how women are gravitating towards larger implant sizes.  And that's creating the sort of controversy which happened in the USA some time ago.  (Well, I suppose the controversy is ongoing, but the controversy seems (to me) to be new in Aussie.)  So yeah, it'll take a bit of a shift in thinking before the first surgeon in Aussie would step forward to become the Dr Domanskis/Yermian/Baeke/etc in Australia.

Btw, how does the whole pre-op/surgery/post-op scheduling work in Thailand?  When cherri got her surgery, first we went for the consult, then we booked the surgery (3 weeks out), then we went for the pre-op consult (2 weeks pre), then the surgery, then the one day post-op check, then the one week post-op check, then the two week post-op check (which is today, actually), then there's the 3 month post-op check.

Obviously when you get it done in Thailand you don't stay there for 3-4 months.  Just a guess, but do you just work out the details in advance via phone and e-mail, book it, pay for it, fly in a day or two before surgery and stay at least one week post, then you're good to go home?

Is there any sort of hand-off after-care procedure that the Thai surgeon gives you to take to your family doc?

Given that you're currently at 1100cc (with the overfill), it's only a delta of 300cc.  Given that you've already had a prior breast augmentation (going from nothing to 1100cc at that), I think the hard yakka is already behind you.  And behind the surgeon, for that matter.

Check out christina w's introduction thread in the General Forum.  Six weeks ago she went from no implants to 1200cc saline overs.  She also posted a couple of self pics there.

Don't forget to take lots of vacation pics when you go to Thailand!  

[Djoser]

Are you really from Réunion?? Good Lord you're amazing!!

[ValNTx]

Suzy...Congrats on the pending revision.  I know you've been looking forward to this quite some time. I still contend your current BA is perfection. On my next BA, my hope is to achieve your current look. Just goes to show, we all have different boobie goals LOL

Best wishes,

Val

Hello,

How much time do you have to stay in Thailand for your breasts to be appropriately healed?
I guess after such a specific procedure, you don't want to be back to your country before being totally sure all post op complications have been avoided.
Will you stay much longer than it would be required for say, 300 cc implants?

Best wishes.

One common theme with breast augmentation surgery is that you can pretty much depend on the first surgery being the worst/most uncomfortable/having the greatest risks.

But remember that any time you get a general anaesthetic, you've increased your risks.  By the same token, as soon as you get in a car and drive somewhere, you increase your risks.  Or get on a plane.  Or have a shower.  Or go golfing in a thunderstorm on a course with no trees while holding an umbrella high above your head while standing in a puddle of water.  

300cc implants suggests to me that this would be a first surgery.  I don't recall whether suzy1qtee had a surgery prior to the one which took her to her current size, but if so, that would explain the ability to have lower risks/quicker recovery than with a first surgery.  If her current augmentation *was* her first surgery, then kudos to her.

I'm sure suzy1qtee will tell you many good things about her surgeon.  Back when she mentioned his name, I went and looked it up, and it seems that he (and a few others at that same Thai institution) were originally board certified in the USA.  And if memory serves, her surgeon specialized in hand microsurgery.

If all you're getting is 300cc, the trauma won't be as bad as, say, 1000cc.  This is assuming you're not in need of a lift/mastopexy, which of course increases the risks.

The other noteworthy point will be whether you go over or under the muscle.  Going under seems to bring with it a great deal more discomfort than going over the muscle.  At least with the first surgery.  The trade-off is that going under the muscle tends to provide better long-term support for the implants, and also makes them look slightly more natural (hiding the upper aspect of the implant).

That said... 300cc?  You might be a tad bit disappointed with that.  Or did you just mention that as an arbitrary point of reference?

[guiM]

Master,
Thanks for you answer, but I was just mentioning 300cc as an average figure.
The fact that my question focused on the trip's length more than the breasts' look itself might have misled you, however I am a man.
So even 300cc might be more than I can cope with personally.
But I am looking forward to seeing the OP's new look, which promises to be even more impressive than her already flawless current one.

[beshine]

lucky you  

i think you will look fantastic with 1400cc !!

best wishes for the 2nd of january

[Verbotenbruste]

Congrats, best of luck to you!  Will look forward to hear how it goes.

[Parhelia]

This is exciting news, I can say without reservation that you have the nicest breast I have ever seen. The few pictures that were posted showing your assets from the bottom with a shirt on were incredibly hot, I hope you take some more and post them before the surgery...I'm sure the new ones will be even better though.

 

Hope everything goes ok and the results are satisfying.

[Verbotenbruste]

Your surgery is fast approaching.  Excited yet?

[suzy1qtee]

Hi Everyone.

Merry Xmas to you all.

Yes Surgery date is fast approching. I guess I am excited but also a bit nervous as these procedures, although a relativley minor surgery, still have risks. I have a poor reaction to the drugs they use to put you under so the days following the surgery are none too pleasent.

Lastly I ready hope that this, being my final surgery, delivers the result I have in mind.

I am leaving for a 9 day vacation in Asia and China before going onto Bangkok for the surgery. I will be back on the 11th of Jan 2008 and will post some photos then.

Thanks for all your best wishes and kind support. I hope that everything goes smoothly.

Have a safe Xmas and New Year.

Suzy

[Fedde]

You go girl !

Isnt there a different drug you can use ?

[MasterDragonfly]

Wishing you safe travels and an uneventful surgery, Suzy.

[Psf_79]

That's tough, Suzy That kind of reaction can't be too rare, so I wonder whether they have any substitutes for those problematic drugs. Anyhow, happy new year and happy new boobs Have a great time in Asia! If you're into that kind of stuff, be sure to buy some pearls from there. They're of high quality (if you get them from the right places) and very affordable.

[christina w]

Hi Suzy,

Congrats and can't wait to hear from you after the surgery. Hope everything goes well and you get the results you want.  

Take care,
Christina

[apatel]

Sawadey,

Hope it went well and the weather here in BK isn't too much for you.

[derf79]

Any word yet?

[suzy1qtee]

Hi everybody.

Thanks for all your kind thoughts. Everything went well. They are big and SOFT!!!!.

I will post a better outline of the surgery and result soon. Still swollen and tender but they look and feel better every day.

The are super soft, and have plenty of movement and "give". I have been able to by tops that i simply could not get into before because the implants were hard and the ristrictive pocket, which assists in getting a really round fake look, just wouldnt allow them to move much.

These are so much more comfortable to live with AND SO SOFT. Final fill was 1300cc. I left it up to the surgeon as I wanted softness.

Write again soon.
