Hello ladies,
Ok so I am getting my BA on Monday June 24th and I'm starting to freak out! At my pre op my surgeon told me he choice 350 ccs silicone HP. I told him the whole time I wanted natural looking boobs, NO big gap inbetween and I don't want to look like I have 2 balls sitting on my chest. So when I said I was getting HP I was shocked. He said the mod plus would give me too much side boob. I'm thinking if I chose a smaller cc would I be able to do the mod plus? I mean u showed him pics of what I wanted and he insist that HP are the way to go for me? Anyone get HP and love them? I mean I'm no expert about breast augmentations so I'm not knocking anyone who has HP. I've been researching and actually seen alot of girls that have HP and look amazing! I'm just super nervous that they aren't going to come out how I wanted :-/

Hello and welcome. I myself have mod + 385 gummy implants undies and I love the profile. I wanted a very natural look and I have achieved that. When I 1st hot them it looked like 2 balls on my chest but once they dropped and fluffed they look very natural. Did yr ps say y he recommended hp 4 u?

Do you have a narrow chest? Mod+ does not fit on everyone.

I don't even know what they consider a narrow chest, u have pics, what do u think?
June 20, 2013
I don't know either. The side boob comment made me think of that.
June 20, 2013
Me and u are kind of in the same boat! My PS wants me to have 650/700 HP saline and I have a BROAD chest... I thought I'd need a bigger diameter to fill up my broad chest?? But apparently a broad implant will make me look broader? I'm a 38 saggy deflated b going for a d/did! Surgery is on Tuesday June 25th! Good luck to you!!

             your ps is right! i had mods before and i had way to much side boob! i was flat in the front and bigger to the sides: i didnt like it at all: i like being bigger toward the front; and just enough side boobs! it all depends on the look your going for!

Hey boobie friends :) so i bought arnica and bromelian today and was wondering when to start taking it and how many at a time? Also how was it getting put to sleep? Another thing im worried about is never feeling like the implants are apart of my body, scared ill never feel "normal" I know everyone says they don't even remember how it feels not having boobs after a few weeks, I'm just fearing ill feel weird, some girl on here posted that she got them removed because of it!!! Was the surgery easier then you expected or worse?

I also am scheduled for Monday the 24th will be getting 400 cc silicone under the muscle . Not even sure if it was high profile .. I showed my doctor what I wanted .. And also told him I don't want them sitting on top of my chest . He showed me where they would start and even offered free lipo to get rid if the little pockets of fat under your arm . I really trust my doctor . Everyone raves about his artistic touch and my best friend had hers done with him as well . I guess that's why I feel confident leaving it mostly to his discretion . I wanted to go. Bigger but he said he would not recommend it , being I don't have a lot of skin . So I'm hoping they are going to be big enough .... Getting very anxious .. As I'm sure you are as well .. Good luck ! I will post pix as soon as I can of my results :)

I have HP and am almost 8 weeks and am very happy! Getting put to sleep? It was nothing, they put an IV in the pre op room and then in the actual OR they were just putting on the heart rate monitor stuff and talking a little to me and then the next thing I knew I was being awaken in the recovery room. I was just very tired and had a hard time waking up and just felt a lot of pressure. I was expecting it to be way worse. It is surgery but would do it again. Just remember to get rest and let others help take care of you. Are you getting over or under the muscle? Good luck with everything :-)

Thanks for ur comment! I'm getting under the muscle which I know hurts more but I had 2 csections and the recovery for that is NO JOKE! couldn't even laugh or sneeze, so I hoping this is a piece of cake compared to that! I know my backaches will prob be the worst part for me

I think under the muscle is better. I had 3 consults, my Ob/gyn, and the mammogram tech tell me that it is better for screening to go under, look more natural and feel more natural with the silicone. If your worried about the weight hurting your back, there isn't a noticeable difference. But to have to sleep on your back for that long kind of bothered my upper back and neck. I can sleep on my stomach now and am so glad! I could laugh but it kind of hurt to sneeze but I'm sure not nearly as bad as a c-section. You'll be a pro!

How long before you could sleep on your tummy again ?! I think I'm seriously most worried about that lol I can't sleep any other way ... Dreading that part for sure ..

The first few days I slept mostly in the Recliner or propped up on the couch, in bed with lots of pillows for a while. Then by 2 weeks I was able to sleep on my sides. I've been sleeping on my stomach for maybe a couple weeks. Time goes by pretty fast, can't believe it's been almost 8 weeks! If I can do it you guys will be good. And YES it's worth it ( . ) ( . ) !!!!!

Did I buy the right stuff? My surgeon says I don't really need it but wouldn't hurt if I bought it, I've heard alot of girls say it works great so I figured why not? Just wondering if I purchased the right brand and stuff
