Breast Implants: Stories

I breasted fed 2 beautiful children for over a year each. I finished 8 months ago and am left with saggy and deflated A cups. When i used to be a nice full B. I hide from myself in the mirror and my own husband. I was so excited to schedule this surgery! I need a lift and silicone implants....with thin tissue and at 5ft 10 inches and thin, my surgeon said saline would most likely not work well for me. I started researching safety and reading the label off allegran implants and am having second thoughts. Some of these complication rates are sky high!!!! I am so dissapointed and do not know what to do. I really want his but I am so conflicted right now. Surgery is set for early June....

I finally decided! After being reassured that implants are safe (finally!), I had the procedure done on June 13th, 2012. I had Mentor silicone gels put in at 400 & 375cc's (left breast was bigger) I was a small B cup (maybe A, but who knows) before and my goal was a D. With my frame, 400CC's was expected to be enough to put me in the ballpark.

The surgery was not bad at all and the pain minimal. My scars are so small!!! My surgeon used a funnel, so was able to keep my incisions small and they are under the breast, so are invisible. I am so happy with the results. I do wish I would've gone a little bigger, but overall I am thrilled and my breasts are now PERFECT and filling up a D cup. He adjusted the silicone implants perfectly and now my boobs are the same size!! I measured my bra size using the measurement guidelines online and it showed I am a DD/E since I have 4-5" between my cup and band size. I measured about 10 times, and then my hubby measured me and it still says DD/E, but I don't LOOK like a DD./E, I don't think? They aren't super huge at all. In fact,with clothing on, they don't look large at all. I don't know if this is accurate since I started with an A/B and only went 400 cc's.

Anyway, I am so happy, recovery was easy, and I feel GREAT with no worries about safety. I thought I would worry after they were put in, but I am not at all.

The only thing that was not fun is that the keflex made me dizzy and tired and I got a yeast rash. But, other than that, this was so much easier and less painful than I imagined! I only took pain meds for two days. I didn't even need tylenol after day 2. I still can't lift my baby, but Wednesday I am cleared to do that.The worst part (besides not lifting her) is not being able to jog for 4 more weeks! I am worried I will get out of shape and gain weight! But, it is worth it :)
