I had my BA on Nov. 16th, my incision was through the areola. I went from 36A to 36C, so I got 345cc. I'd always considered the surgery but it wasn't until after my separation that I felt I needed a boost of self esteem. I chose 345cc because I wanted to look and feel natural. I'm 30 years old, mother of 2, a 12 year old and 1 year old. I weight 140 lbs and I'm 5'1, I am at 2 weeks now and healing great. I'm concerned about the scarring and what I can do now to help prevent bad scarring later. Like if I should be using ointments or some scar treatment. My Dr said to use (HP) hydrogen peroxide daily on my nipples for faster healing and almond oil for the redness on my breasts since it seems I'm going to get stretch marks if I don't care for that area too. I am using the HP but regular baby oil.

I had my BA on October 11th. I had Mentor Smooth moderate 475cc on both sides. I am now 6 weeks post-op and its one of the best decisions I've ever made. I LOVE MY BOOBIES! :)

Mine feel high also, but it seems like some swelling has gone down.. When I ice the sides after a while I feel like the cold travels to my nipple/areola area.. Does anyone feel that??

Goncar were urs very high and tight ??? Or were they where they should be right away? I'm getting a gurgling in my left breast. Still swollen n very tight
  • Reply
They were a little high but not extremely, they are already droping. My left one feels lower and softher. The right one feel tight like if the skin was tighter. The gurguling noise should go away before your one week post op. it just air trapped in the pocket where your implant is. It is not the implant itself :p

Yeah thats why. High profiles stay a little higer and rounder at the top portion of your breast. Mines are under the muscle also it looks more natural. I got 250cc, whent from flat to a small b. i whanted to be porotionate to my petite body im only 5'1" 90 lbs

Hi, I am 21 5'3ish 145lbs. My procedure is a day after yours!!! I'm getting 400cc saline implants filled to 450ccs, under the muscle, areola incision.Currently my bra size is a 36A (barely) lol.. I hope to be a full C cup. Haha I already am dancing in my pants lol, I can't wait. Where are you getting your procedure done??

Hey there :) I'm having my procedure on Monday Oct 8th and I'm nervous!!! I would love some feedback ladies !!! I am 24, 5'5 @ 125lb very active/toned. I am currently a 34B. I have lost weight which has caused me to lose much of my upper polar area. I was once a full C. My PS and I agreed that Allergan 450cc HighProfile Silicone Under muscle, in crease would be best for my anatomy. My breast have a width of 12cm so the 450cc HP are what fit safely. Let me know what you guys think. Any Help would be greatly appreciated. Pictures anything!!! Come sunday I hope to be relaxed lol yea thats a joke im going to be dancing in my pants.
