Best of luck to you Starcream. I know its great to have a wife that shares the same passions that you do. Face it, many woman would not go the size my wife wants which now looks more and more like it will be on the large end of the scale. I guess I'm a lucky guy. I do know since I got approved for financing a week ago, boobie talk between us has predominated other topics of conversation. Its a pretty easy topic to talk about and its not like either one of us are out-pressing the other about getting this done. We are both excited about it. And who can beat that?

Keisha & Bambi want to go bigger, and they still have your wife beat.

But very seriously, no-one can beat that at the moment. You are one hell of a lucky guy. And I thought I was lucky getting a girlfriend who has a big chest.....

Well, here's an update folks.

She bought a DD bra and we did the rice test again tonight. We tried from 500 cc's up to 800 cc's. She is definitely going with the 800's. She even commented that if she does decide to go under the muscle that she may have to go a bit higher in the CC department. She's starting to learn how this BA surgery works! I'm not sure what her final size will be but at 800 cc that DD bra was stretching quite a bit. My guess is an F size when she's done. Or an overspilling DD. She's concerned that she's getting at an unusually high implant size and that a lot of docs will refuse to do the surgery. This is speculation but her first consultation is with a doc who will only do unders, no overs. He also goes by the rulebook of some organization (FDA?) and so she's not sure if he will overfill them. Sounds like he's already too conservative and may discourage larger implants. Lastly, she's definitely posting on this forum including face. She's not shy and this won't be the only site she posts her pics. She feels its pretty anonymous and she wants to show off her new bod.

That's a concern? All you need to do is find one that will.

And seeing some of the great racks that are out there, it seems that there are a few that will.

Problem is we live in a little podunk city and our options are pretty limited. I guess we could travel to bigger cities but my wife would really love to have them done right here.

Forgive me for being a little strong on this, but. . .  Go where the best doctor's are that you can get to!  There may well be a superb surgeon in your area who will fill your wife's needs but, if not, don't go to a less capable surgeon than you can afford to or one without experience in those exact style and size of implants.  If the doctor is unfamiliar with the size of implants that your wife wants, you do not want your wife to be a guinea pig while he tries to figure out how to aethetically insert them.  Your wife will have to live with the consequences.  I realize that that is a pain in the butt and traveling sucks, especially since she'll need follow-up visits.

Let me give you an example, a woman that I know had fairly large implants put in and the doctor wan't really happy about it or experienced with that large an implant (he'd done hundreds of more standard ones).  She wanted them put under the muscle.  He wasn't used to the size and wasn't sure how to make them fit, so he started carving away her pectoral muscle to make it look better on the one side.Personally, I'd say he panicked but I couldn't prove it.  Whatever, it was a dumb idea and was noticable (she lifted weights, accentuating the problem).  That's an extreme case but it does illustrate the danger of a surgeon inexperienced with your implants.  By the same token, you may well find some really fine surgeons in the sticks, I've seen it before.  It's just, you want your wife to be happy at the end of it, and not disappointed by the results.  As anyone who reads the boob mags or goes to strip clubs can tell you, there are a lot of really bad breast jobs out there.

Just my advice, worth exactly what you paid for it. . .  .

Thanks Matt. In fact my wife wants to see photos of women who specifically had higher size implants during her first consultation. If the guy has little experience or feels uncomfortable with the largest size implants (800 ccs is what I hear about the largest he can EASILY get a hold of)she WILL NOT have it done by him. He's preferable now only because of his location. BTW, I talked to a guy at work whose wife used this same doc and she was very happy with the results. My wife also talked to a woman that her cousin knows that used the same doc. She had them done five years ago, has had absolutely no complications, and she's very happy with her new size (the woman was kind enough to let my wife call her on the phone). So it sounds like the local doc is talented BUT we're not sure: 1) his experience with really large implants, 2) how conservative he is. So we aren't just gonna go to the nearest available surgeon, that's just crazy. She does have a second consultation out of town in February. I'll be traveling with her to the consultation (she feels a bit embarrassed about it, wants support, etc.). MY wife personally emailed him and I like his attitude; he will do what the PATIENT WANTS as long as its safe. And placing 800 cc's in a woman who is already a C with plenty of tissue already is not, imho, a high-risk proposition. I think my concern in all of this is that I think most docs will be inexperienced with this large implant size. We've gone to implantinfo.com and have seen lots of before and after photos. Of hundreds of women there's only a couple in the 800 cc range. Yeah, theres a few 600 and 700 cc but I question why there isn't more 800 cc. I guess most women would not go this size so docs will typically not have the experience. In fact, at least on this second doc's website, the biggest woman we could find had 630 ccs. I dig the fact that my wife wants the larger end of the scale but I want to make sure she's in the right hands.

You're probably referring to the fact that this surgeon is ASPRS "Board Certified".  IMHO this credential insures that the doctor will be conservative both in implant size and in his willingness to give a patient what she wants versus giving her what he things would be best for her.  ASPRS "Board Certification", again IMHO, does not reflect the skill of the doctor, but instead reflects an additional "warm and fuzzy feeling" for housewives (as well as an extra $1000 on the surgical fee).  I can completely understand why ASPRS certified doctors do not frequently deal with larger implants.

You are also quite correct that very few plastic surgeons have any extensive experience with 800cc and larger implants.  This is the reason that girls who are truly interested in getting the best job with huge implants usually wind up travelling to one of the plastic surgeons who "specializes" in larger implants.  

In your wife's situation with an abundance of natural tissue, I would also seriously question whether or not under the muscle placement is the best option for her.  Some doctors insist on performing their "favorite" procedure simply because they have the most experience with that procedure, despite the fact that a particular patient's needs might be better served by a different procedure.

Also, if your wife really wants the largest diameter implants she can get her hands on to insure great cleavage, there is another issue.  The implants with the largest available diameter which are approved for use in the USA are made by Silimed, and are rated 1000cc.  However, since the Silimed approval is conditional, only plastic surgeons who are participating in the Silimed study are able to obtain these implants.  If you're considering travelling out of town, it might be worth your while to contact Silimed ( http://www.silimed.com ) for a list of participating doctors.

I had a feeling this may be her problem. She is convinced with the implant size, 800 versus 700, because of the better diameter but not so much forward projection. The #1 question that is flip-flopping back and forth is whether to go over or under the muscle. First it was under, then it was over, now its leaning towards under again. I mean she has a lot of stuff nailed down: the implant size (~800), shape (round), texture (smooth), and contents (saline) but WHERE to place the implant is totally up in the air right now. My gut feeling was confirmed by you Melonie about this doc. I think he's going to be more on the conservative side of things. My gut feeling is that the out-of-town doc will be more willing and have had more experience with large implants (he's been doing this sort of thing for over 20 years). Still my wife did ask the first doc's receptionist if they did have and do larger implants and they say they did, especially for a "larger" lady. Evidently big breasts are ok on an overweight women but not women with medium or slight builds. Its convincing this doc that these size implants will be perfectly fine-looking on my wife's frame. And that may be a very tall order.

dochuge, have you tried looking at http://www.yestheyrefake.net
there are 2 women who've had 1000cc, with pics, and many of the larger volume range (600-800)
just have a look at some of the journals(in the misc. section), they might help.
you're a lucky fella!

NO, but thanks for the heads-up. My wife and I have looked at the ratemyimplants site. Well I got some not very good news today. I talked in more detail with a friend whose wife had surgery done by our local doc. It definitely sounds that he takes his personal opinion on what he finds "natural" in a woman's breasts more than the woman's request. His wife wanted to go higher but he refused. She ended up going lower. She still likes the results but there is a wide gap inbetween her breasts (I don't know how much). I think this doc thinks that tight cleavage without a bra is unnatural looking on a woman and he may pass on the surgery. He's right, how many women naturally have breasts like these? BUT both my wife and I like the look of these breasts and its HER BODY so I just don't get some of these doc's thinking. The only possible good news is that before surgery his wife was a small B, my wife is a medium/large C. So he may feel more comfortable with the larger implants for my wife since she has more to work with. We won't know until the consultation if this guy's personal opinion will make an impact or not. Regardless if he won't SOME doctor will. I just think the out-of-town doc looks at this point to be more flexible.

No disrespect, but if your wife wants to show off her bod so much, how about grabbing a camera, taking a few "before" pics and get her to post them. Maybe that'll take the edge off till she gets the implants. Actually, on that note, how about you get your wife to sign up for the forums here and post her own thoughts and feelings about all this. Cause at the moment we've been hearing from you (again, no disrespect) and I for one wouldn't mind hearing from her about all this. Plus it would make her question asking a little easier because she'll be able to tell the facts (its her bod after all)

Agreed. Maybe she'd enjoy seeing some morphed photos of her right about now.

Also, if you're in Oregon, you're not that far from where Vixen lives near Mt. Shasta in Northern California. Either way, Oregon, Northern California, you're only a day's drive away from L.A. where all the cooperative experienced docs are gonna be located. Seems like it would be worth the trip, and it's not like you'd be commuting cross country.

My wife's at the gym right now but I will ask her when she gets home. I know she posts over at other forums but I'm not sure how she'd feel posting here. She is on a forum for women only and there's a lot of technical stuff going on over there. I am surprised at how technically-excellent answers I have received on this forum. And I really don't think she wants to show off her bod just yet. She's a little self-conscious right now. She's a mom that's breastfed a few [censored] and breastfeeding can wreak havoc on a woman's chest. I do know that she wants to show the world after she's had the surgery. But I guess sometimes you wanna hear stuff straight from the horse's mouth.
