Thanks for posting this! Hopefully some other ladies will check in here, too. Are you going with silicone or saline?

Pam1327 29 Jun 2011

I hope so!! Iam going with Saline for sure, submuscular, and the inframammary incision. Sooo excited!!

Yep - I'm in on August 5th (with a Tummy Tuck too). You seem more sorted with what you want, I'm still yet to make all my decisions. Next appointment is July 18th. Counting down...

How did your appointment go?

You might want to check out our Mommy Makeover community if you're also having a tummy tuck. Good luck!

Vanessa:

I agree with the weird feeling...I want it so bad and wish it was over already and I had my new boobies! =) I see you had yours done on Thursday....I wish you the best with recovery!

bmega:

I see you to had yours done on on July 7th...I hope you are recovering well! =) Can you tell me what size you were before hand (height, weight, etc.) and what size, type and style you went with?? Thanks a bunch!

I was a 36c. I’m 5'5 i weight 145. the Dr. put 475cc implant but filled up to 500cc. round smooth saline, under the muscle. i so happy with them so far. my recovery is going good. the only thing is that my right boob is really sensitive right now. but my left one is healing a lot faster. they told that’s normal. my first Dr. visit is tomorrow.

hi again. I was only 32a prior to surgery, very small frame, 5'1", 101lbs. I had a silicone implant of 350cc inserted undermy breasts, under the muscle. Its been 8 days, just visited my surgeon yesterday and everything is going fine. The incisions are still alittle sore. He also recommended me to push inwards on the sides and down on the top to help the implant settle in its pocket. I am very happy with the results so far. I actually have boobs n finally feel like a woman at 51!!!! yay me...lol

Hello! I am a little late on this thread, but just joined this sight a couple of days ago. I am scheduled to have my BA next Friday. I am soo nervous! How did yours go? How are you feeling? Any suggestions on how to prepare? I hope you love the girls!

Pam1327 4 Aug 2011

Don't be nervous!! You will be so happy afterwards. I feel great today. Just get tired from time to time, other than that, my recovery is going very well. I really didn't do anything special...just prepared myself. My husband and niece helped me with some chores and our 6 year old. Iam sooo glad I finally did it! Best of luck to you!

ldubbs77 4 Aug 2011

Aw thank you! I hope I love them! So, you got yours done yesterday? What size? I am also going with a saline moderate profile implant, placed submuscular, with an imframammary incision. I went with a 375 cc, but am still kind of unsure if I made the right decision. I am currently a 34 AA, and want to be in the "C" range. Are you in a lot of pain? Any weird symptoms so far? Sorry for all of the questions, it's just nice to talk to someone else you has already had it done.

Pam1327 4 Aug 2011

You will love them! Yes, I got them yesterday. I originally wanted a 400cc, but my PS recommended a 425 overfilled to 450. I was a 34B before and she said I would end up being a D in the end. I fully trusted her decision and so far Iam very happy. I have minimal pain. I was prescribed oxycodone, but I only take half doses. After my check up today, my husband and I did a little shopping. I got a little tired, but that's it. I slept well thru the night last night and I am going back to work tomorrow. I had very minimal bruising and fluid loss. I truly feel great despite what I have been through. As far as the questions...ask away! I did the same thing you're doing to get more information. :)

ldubbs77 4 Aug 2011

That's awesome! I hope that I have an experience similar to yours. I've been reading other blogs and have seen some girls talking about how much pain they were in, and all sorts of complications. It started to make me worry and second guess myself. My PS seems like he will do a great job, so I know I chose right there. I usually have a low tolerance for pain and get sick over pain meds, so I am praying I don't have to take many. Please keep me updated on your recovery; I'd love to hear how it's going. So happy for you!

Pam1327 4 Aug 2011

I hope yours goes well too!! I read alot on here and on the site implantinfo.com. I had to stop reading because I too, got nervous. As far as the low pain tolerance...it just depends. Your PS will prescribe you some pain medication. I have a very high pain tolerance. Mainly I had a heavy chest feeling and it was just a little uncomfortable. Do you have kids? If so, the pain is very similar to your milk coming in. A very full tight feeling is the best way I can describe it. As far as getting sick, they gave me pepsid to help with nausea. They can also put other meds in your IV. Afterwards, they put a patch behind my ear that helps with nausea for 3-4 days. Just tell your PS your concerns and he/she will do something about it. I feel fine today, just get tired after taking the pain meds (that is a symptom of the oxycodone). Other than that, all us well and Iam thrilled.

ldubbs77 4 Aug 2011

I am 23 with no kids. I did have my knee reconstructed because I tore my ACL, and I am hoping since I survived that painful surgery, this will be a breeze. My PS prescribed me the nausea patches for before and after the surgery, as well as muscle relaxers and vicoden. Hopefully that will be enough and won't make me sick. I might try and just do half of the recommended dosage at first to see if I can handle it. I feel like I can handle the tightness and heaviness, so that's good. Thanks for everything! You've been a great help!

Pam1327 4 Aug 2011

I think you will be fine. I just always thought in my mind that eventually the pain will go away. It's good that your PS prescribed those meds. They will help. I take 1/2 doses through the day and a full dose at night. That works for me. Just try not to stress about it. I read and read so much last year and ended up cancelling and regretted it. This go round, I knew that I wanted it and I was ready. Iam so happy now and it makes it so worthwhile that I have hardly no pain. The tightness and fullness isn't all that bad, plus the pain pills help. It's kinda like having a few bricks on your chest. The nausea patch helped a bunch. My recovery was quick because I woke up quickly and had the patch to stop the nausea. My nurse said it would be awful to heave! Very bad pain. Also, if you take a 1/2 dose it might not make your tummy upset as pain killers tend to do that. Iam glad I could help...anytime :)

This is my 1st post. I just has my consult today it went well. I'm 5 feet, 95 lbs I'm current a 32 A want to be a Full B or small C portion to my size of course. At my consult they tried me in a 300 cc and I thought it was too big but she told me that it will settle down once its under the muscle so I trust her. I schedule for the sx will be in Sept. Very excited and wish you guys all the luck.

Pam1327 7 Aug 2011

Yay! As far as what size to get and what size you will be in the end, trust your surgeon. That is what I did. I put complete faith in her and her staff and Iam so thrilled. There is just so much that goes into picking the right size for each person. September isn't that far! I remember calling my PS's office on June 24th and they scheduled my consult on July 26th. I was so bummed b/c that seemed so far away! I called the office a few days later and they bumped my consult up to July 12th and I was so confident they let me go ahead and schedule my surgery on August 3rd. The waiting was awful!!

ldubbs77 7 Aug 2011

@King: I totally agree with what Pam1327 said. You really have to trust your PS. I went in for a consultation back in February, and knew right then and there that I trusted him. He talked me through everything, and after hearing what I wanted to achieve from surgery, he picked out a range of sizes for me to try on. I didn't want something too drastic because I am very active, so we decided on a 375 cc saline implant. My surgery was originally scheduled for July 25, but I got really sick, and had to reschedule it for August 12 (next Friday, woo hoo!). I hope that I can still get it; all depends on my blood work and if I still have mono/infection in my body. Keeping my fingers crossed! But, good luck to you! I know it totally stinks waiting (I've been waiting for almost 2 years now), but September will be here before you know it! Good luck and I know that you will love them!
@Pam: How are you feeling thus far? Any changes? Everything still great? I hope so!

KING2africa 8 Aug 2011

I went to a few surgeon MD to get their point of views on the sx part. I wanted to go through the areola instead and one of the MD told be he can use a cone instrument to squeeze the silicon in the the breast pocket. Have any one heard of this?
Thanks for your input

ldubbs77 9 Aug 2011

I have never heard of this, but it sounds interesting and I'd like to know more. If you find out more about it, please let me know. I am actually choosing to go under the crease in my breast. I did not really want my scars to be seen, and my PS told me its the way he would prefer to go, so I am listening to him.
