- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

1 week post surgery update
My breasts are settling nicely. The discomfort I had in the days after surgery (muscular ache) has gone and so has all the tenderness. It has now been replaced with glorious nerve pain!!!! It's searing hot stabby awful pain but only occurs when I move in certain ways. Oh and my nipples burn if I stand up for too long, but that seems to be improving a little everyday. :) I can't wait until recovery and healing is over and I can resume a normal life again. yippee
Size: I had a meltdown earlier in the week over size. I thought they were too small and regretted not going bigger. I was literally depressed for a couple of days. I am now so over that it's not funny!!!! I think the size is perfect. In fact I am going to have to hide them more than I realise while they settle. They will be nothing less than perfect - assuming I have no complications in the interim.
Speaking of size, my surgeon and I initially decided upon Natrelle 330cc moderate profile implants, when I first met with him back in February. At out second meeting we realised that I was really wanting a bit more so we decided upon 365cc or 385cc. I assumed I would still be getting moderate profile. Just before the surgery last week I said "ok let's go 365cc". Lo and behold he actually put 365cc HIGH PROFILE (full projection) implants in me. I didn't find this out until my serial # specifications certificate came in the mail 5 days after surgery. I am not complaining at all - trust me! The width of my HP 365cc's are exactly the same as the Mod 330cc's. They just project about 1cm more. I am a details girl, however. And I think a lot of us like to know exactly what is being put in us. As much as this has been a lesson for me to trust someone else's expertise, it would have been nice to know exactly what I was getting. Knowing what profile you are getting is important.

Day 4
More movement in my arms today - I even made the kids lunches today for kindy/school with no pain. This is a huge overnight improvement as last night I tried to make an easy dinner and I couldn't stand for more than 10 mins without pain and cutting (pushing downwards) was a bit painful. My head feels really clear today. I feel really good.
I am wishing I went a bit bigger - maybe somewhere between 385cc and 400cc but I will save that as an incentive if I need to have them done again in the future. Having 365cc implants means that my recovery is way easier and with 3 young children to run around after this is so important for my healing, to heal properly and for the running of the family. I didn't want this surgery and recovery to affect my little ones too much and I don't want anyone to notice I had this surgery. I look about the same as I did before with all my padding and bombshell bras. I just have a lovely upper pole now. I am also into running and lifting weights so this is much better for my lifestyle on that count too.
My baby (19 months) and I had a big cuddly sleep on the couch together yesterday. He slept between my legs with his head on my belly. It was bliss. I miss his physical closeness so much. The hardest part so far is not being able to hold them close without worrying about being knocked on my new knockers. He accidentally head butted one of my boobs from underneath the day before, but it wasn't so bad.
TMI alert - I finally went #2's on the loo today. Hallelujah! It had been 4 days. I have never had constipation so now I understand what all the fuss was about!!!
