“Loving my new Boobies soo far!! - Beverly Hills, CA”
Spent: $9,500 in Beverly Hills Ca,
Well i decided to finally make a consulatation after wanting BA & tummy tuck for a while now. So i did about two months ago. I'm going to get my breast done first & hoping to get my tummy tuck in 6mos. to a year. Since it's too expensive for both procedures at once. Although this doctor is pretty well known on tv for his work. He does do a very good job on everything iv'e seen him do.
Well anyway, I'am 25 yrs. old & have two kids. I'm ready to feel sexy again. However, i'am still questioning the size of implants. I wanna go between 450-475cc Silicone, but since i'm getting a lift, they are telling me that it might rip the stitches. So they are saying to go for 425cc will be pretty big still & better for me. By the way I'm a 34b/c. So if anyone out there has gotten breast implants w/lift, I would love your feedback please. I will be posting before pics soon. Thank you!

QUICK UPDATE:
Hey ladies!!! Sorry i haven't been on here in the last couple of days. I'm 5 days post-op & i feel great!!! Well let me make this quick...Right after surgery the anasthesia definately took control of me. But i had no pain at all, It was more like soreness & just being uncomfortable. Rather than that it was ok. I ended up getting 475cc's silicone w/ a crescent lift. So far i'm very happy with them! I will be posting pics soon, i feel like i've just been goin & going. I really need to rest. I just wanna say that Dr. rey is the best!! He gave me exactly what i wanted. Pics soon to come just have to load them to my laptop. I'll try tomm. k ladies! :)

Hi ladies! Sorry i haven't really been on here to keep you guys updated. Today i'm 1 week postop. & everything so far is going great! I never had to take any pain meds. I got my drains removed from the crescent lift on the 4th day after. I noticed i forgot to mention that earlier. So this is my info on my BA. I got 475cc's Mentor Smooth Round HP silicone gel under the muscle on both breast. Right after surgery i looked at my breast and they never looked swollen like everyone describes, just a bit. But they never wore high on top. I actually like them since day one. 1 week today they still look pretty much the same from when i came after surgery, just a bit bruise on my right breast & a lil bigger & they are starting to look more round as well. I wasn't able to load the pictures from the 1st couple days of surgery.=( So i took a picture with my webcam today, so u guys can at least get a peek 1 week postop. I'm still not home, i'm actually enjoying myself here at my sisters house. She's been a big HELP! Tomm. is her Bday & were having a girls nite out! =] I promise i will post more pics as soon as i get home. If you guys have any questions. Just ask! Well thanks for all the support!

So I know i haven't really been on here in quite a while to keep u ladies updated. Well first of all let me say that i did have a quite long recovery due to some accident. I hit myself on my breast 3 weeks out, left a big bruise & my left breast was swollen all the way up to my 2 month post-op. Finally the swelling is gone as well as bruising. I think i did too much right after surgery, that i regret. So my advice to you ladies that are planning surgery is please take it easy. My problem was that i felt too good rite after surgery & thought i can do it all. Big mistake. Well overall I'm so happy with my results, i would have to say that its the best thing i ever done for myself. I feel soo much sexier in clothes, at first i'm not gonna lie...I did have boob greed. I wanted them to be bigger. But know i'm glad i didn't get them any bigger, i love my size they are just right. I went from a 34b/c small to a 34DD. I know that sounds big n they look big here in my 9weeks post-op pic, but they are not that exaggerated. With clothes they look smaller, i'll post more pics up soon. But they are perfect for me. If you ladies have any questions feel free to ask. I ended paying 9500 towards the end btw.

Oh I also forgot to mention that i ended up getting an allergy reaction to the surgical glue. So i also had to deal with that as well. My rash was all red around my nipple, uggh it was so bad. As u can see i still have a bit of it left around my nipple except its more like a faded brown dryness around my nipple n breast. I'm just thankful it's almost all gone. N that my breast are almost healed.

He really is understanding. He makes you feel at ease. Answers all concerns. Even took the time out on a weekend just to make sure everything was ok, since i was over concern about a lil mishap. But over all yes i really reccommend him! =0]




Very exciting for you! Remember that larger implants cause your breasts to drop more with age...so that's another benefit to going with 425cc instead of 450 to 475.
We'd love to know who your surgeon is!
Thanks so much for posting your story to RealSelf. Looking forward to reading more as your journey progresses.
Mine were a revision, lift and TT.
My prior ones were saline, under the muscle and 300 cc. The new ones are silicone gel, high profile, and 400 cc which look much better on me.
I am 5'7 135 pounds, medium frame, but small ribcage. My bra band size is 30 if that helps you.
Maybe i'll stick to the 425cc's.
Good luck!
