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!

I'm adding before pics that i took about a month ago. I recently lost 10 lbs so i'mma bit thinner now. been working out before surgery as much as possible. I'm 5"7 weight 135lbs as of now...I still don't know what size implants i'm getting. I do know i'm getting Silicone & anywhere 425cc-475cc's. My pre-op is the day b4 surgery, so until then i'll keep u ladies updated. Wow 5 more days till my surgery...getting nervous! ;)

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.

So i will be 13 weeks post-op tomm. & finally i'm glad that my nipples are getting their color. they were pretty dark there for a while. & big now their rounding up well. lol Well i'm posting this new pic now, i'll post some more later with bra & clothes.

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.

Congrats on making the step. I haven't had mine done yet, but this coming Monday I'm having my pre-op visit. I'm also a 34 C. I have 3 kids, two are twins. I'm 28. 5 foot 5 inches and 140 lbs. I'll let you know what the verdict is as far as cc's go. I plan on posting a before and after pics as soon as possible. Good luck. My surgery is May 26th.
MiizzSweetz25 24 May 2011
Wow! Only 2 more days to go DaleAnn. Well good luck on everything!! Let me know how everything goes for you, keep me posted w/pics as well. I will be posting pics of b4/After as well soon!

I had my BA on May 19th and couldn't be happier. I am 5'2, 125lbs and was a 34a/b. I got 400cc mentor silicone gel under muscle. I had no pain just soreness and mild discomfort. After three kids and ten years of wanting a fuller chest, I'm thrilled so far. Best of luck!
Amber11 6 Jun 2011
How do you feel about the 400cc for your body size and type? I am 3'3, 125 lbs.and also a 34a/b. I am looking into a getting a BA very soon. Do you feel the 400cc compliment your size and frame well? I would love to see a before and after picture as I was considering going for a 450 to 475cc.
Perry4538 7 Jun 2011
With your current size, I think you would be happy with 425ccs. Mine look very proportionate to my frame of 5'3" and 125lbs. I'm measuring a 34C to a small D. I was previously a 34a/b depending on bra. You definitely don't want to go too big and risk needing another lift in ten years or sooner. I was fortunate though and didn't need a lift, but may later in life.

I got a lift with implants 2.5 weeks ago. Check into the high profile. My doctor told me that they work well with lifts, and I couldn't agree more. I am very happy with they way mine turned out.
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.
MiizzSweetz25 28 Jun 2011
Thank u i will.=]
mandy77 26 Jun 2011
All the best with ur surgery :) im booked in for surgery 23.8.11... Im going with 345 cc silicone gel implants. Im currently a small c cup and should take me to a small D. not sure if this will help you but my surgen said the bigger the implant the more complications later on? With drooping and things like that. So something to consider:) i think 425 cc would feel them out nicely :) .
MiizzSweetz25 28 Jun 2011
Thanks girly! Well good luck with yours as well!! =]
Maybe i'll stick to the 425cc's.
Sportyboysmom 28 Jun 2011
You'll have to let us know if Dr. Rey is really like he is portrayed on TV. I used to love watching his show and all the patients he worked on turned out fantastic!
Good luck!
MiizzSweetz25 28 Jun 2011

MiizzSweetz25 28 Jun 2011

Perry4538 28 Jun 2011
I'm so excited for you! You will be fine. It was nothing like I thought it would be as far as pain and discomfort. I am five weeks out since my BA, and am so glad I finally did it. Good luck, but don't worry, you are in good hands!
DaleAnn82 5 Jul 2011
Can't wait to see the pics! I'm glad your experience so far is good!!!
kcjojo 5 Jul 2011
Oh wow, you got Dr. Rey (Dr. 90210) as your PS? He's flamboyant but good. I used to watch that show and he's like the best one on there. Hope you're doing great w/ your recovery. Can't wait to see your pics.
MiizzSweetz25 7 Jul 2011
Yes i did!! Actually he is soo nice & funny!! Very understanding & help me any way possible that he could. So far i've had a great experience with him.

SunshineTX 7 Jul 2011
Wow its nice to find someone with a simular story...Im 5' 7", 140lbs, I have 3 kids though :) Our stories are in reverse though, I am 1 week, post op-tummy tuck. In 6 months to a year I plan on getting silicone implants w/ a crescent lift. I hope your recovery is going well! I'll be checking back for your recovery updates, I would like to know what I have to look forward to! Happy healing!!
MiizzSweetz25 7 Jul 2011
Well Good Luck Sweetie! If you have any questions, don't be afraid to ask. =]
Perry4538 7 Jul 2011
Wow, they look great! I had minimal swelling and no bruising, so I was happy with mine from the beginning too. Wished I would have taken before and after pics though. I forgot what I looked like before. I go back for 6 wk postop next week, so I will look at pics dr took before surgery. Take it easy, and follow drs orders!
