WORTH IT$6,400
I am 45 and I decided now is the time to get my breasts done--at my age they were sagging and a size B. I wanted big boobs at this point in my life so I went with silicone 550 cc HP Mentor smooth round implants. I didn't care if I looked fake--that is the new in thing anyway. BUT, mine look relatively natural--if being this big and perfect is natural?? :-) I am a very full size 38 D/DD now. I don't have a "shelf" which you usually get with HP implants. That is what I mean about fake vs. natural. My size makes me look like I could work at Hooters and I love it!!!!!
I would recommend breast augmentation for anyone. I just hope that everyone could have as pain-free a surgery and post op care as I did. p.s. I had the peri-areolar incisions (quicker healing time) and sub-muscular which I had absolutely no pain with.

WOW and so you should!! They look FANTASTIC!!! Mine are taking an awfully long time to DROP as you will see if you check out my photos..I am 4 weeks tomorrow...and will re-post some new pics..they seem to be settling a lot more in the last week...but i am afraid it may take two more months (if EVER) before they settle much as YOURS!! Last week I was so upset with how slow things were going I was actually...researching all my revision possibilities...and you and I are almost the same age...so now I HAVE hope...and once again....your new girls look WONDERFUL!!! chett.....cvs970

Hi Chett,
Thanks for the compliment on the girls! Don't stress out about the dropping--my PS said I am a "freak" for dropping so soon and not having any pain, etc. At the 2 week mark I started massaging the muscles at the upper poles while cupping my breasts with my other hand at the bottom to keep them lifted. I also worked the sides with my knuckles to work to get more cleavage, since I had none prior and still don't really. It also helps to keep them from CC which I am very afraid of. I wouldn't go braless--at least not without talking to your PS first. The last thing you want is for your new girls to drop and sag. Patience dear!!!! :-)

hi, holl doll, your girls look fantastic! i got the go ahead to massage yesterday (surgery was friday) and they said to massage the top and bottom 10 times, 3 times a day. silly question but can i massage them more? i want to keep them from CC too and also to drop and fluff :-) my PS seems to be worried that i'm not dropping and i have to wear a compression bandage above my puppies to push them down. have been wearing this since friday (surgery day)

Hi bigdogva,
Thank you! I am really, really happy with my results. I just took some more pics for being 9 months post op which I will post in a minute. I massaged mine ALL the time, I concentrated on the upper poles to help them drop, one was higher than the other because my pocket on that side was smaller. One thing about having big boobs is they are like a toy! I am always playing with them. I dropped pretty quick and more recently they have fluffed even more. I had my girlfriend feel them yesterday when we went swimming and she was in awe at how real they felt. Now she is going to get a BA! As long as your PS has given you the ok to massage--I would massage the tops where the bandage is to relax the muscle that is holding them up there. Also the swelling doesn't help. They WILL drop--it is just so worrisome in the beginning! Did you go under the muscle? That will be a big factor. My PS said to squeeze/pinch them from the bottom 10 times once a day for the rest of my life. I do it at least 5 times a day but I also had mine inserted through the areola. I am really happy for you! Keep me posted! Also it helps to post some pics so you can see your progress! :-)

i did get them under the muscle . my skin was really tight so he feels like the nipples may turn downward. i just called his assistant and said i wanted to massage them more and she laughed and said, play with them all day if you want! LOL she said to massage at the top and bottom, not the sides.. they were put in under the breast not through the areola. i just took some photos and will submit them tonight...w/ this website since im new, said they won't post till tomorrow end of day. its good to chat w/ some happy ladies w/ new tatas! you are getting me excited about my new puppies! :-)
May 30, 2012
One of my breast's pockets was much smaller and he could only enlarge it so much so it was tighter than the other and boy did I worry about that one not dropping or being uneven. I massaged the heck out of it up on the top (pole) all day long!! We have the same size!!! I am 5'7" and got 550cc. You and I have the largest implants out there --and I am on 2 other BA forums (except for the huge K size sites). Most women get 375-475cc. So it is nice to talk to someone who actually is my height who has the same size!!! I was also a 36B. With DD's you get noticed--funny mostly from women when I am out clothes shopping! LOL! I have to say I am lovin' it!!! Am I bad?! heehee! Just keep massaging! I am so glad you are excited--I still am, every day I get up and think, "hmm, what cute top am i going to wear today?" Lol!
I just posted some new pics and they posted immediately--sometimes you have to check your email though for verification.

They look great ..Im 10 days Post Op and mine are riding quite high your drop gives me hope....
November 19, 2011
Hi Kittling, Thank you for your kind words! 10 days post op is still really early. My Left one rode high due to the pocket being smaller longer than the other one and I thought OMG, I am going to be lopsided forever! But, we all want instant results and the muscles are so sore. I remember the day it dropped, I felt a sort of "relaxation" and it just all of a sudden got a little squishier! And it kept on relaxing after that. Do you have any pics to post--it is nice to see the various stages they go through. I have taken pics every 3 days since mine were done. Today was my 2 month post op appt and my PS has signed me off. I massaged mine every day by holding onto the base with my cupped hand (to hold them lifted) and rubbed the upper poles with my opposite hand. I feel like that really helped me in my recovery and helped me to get "squishy boobies" instead of torpedos which is what I had. LOL! :-)

Hi Chett,
Thankyou for your response and your most welcome ..I want mine [RS bleep] to drop likes yours lol..I have been so depressed and stressed out i think im driving all my friends and husband away because i really expected to come out looking somewhat normal instead i feel so deformed ..i will not look at them unless im showering or massaging them and i still pretend there not mine..omg im so like crazy..
Mine look exactly like your second pic and when i saw your drop i got so excited..The problem with mine though is that ive been told that they are quite large for my body frame which is 5'4 115lbs (492cc Natrelle mid range silicone gel )and that i have to be very patient...i had about a handful of breast tissue left after i lost 80lbs.....
i want to post some pics up im just still in a state of shock really..so ill take some and when i get brave ill post them up...
As again Beautiful breasts and i hope mine end up like that..kittling

Hi, it has been 6 months since my BA and my breasts look and feel totally natural. People are amazed that they are so "squishy" and real feeling--not firm like melons. I have never been more happy with my decision. I had no pain, no complications throughout the recovery process. My boobs dropped and fluffed 2 months after surgery and they feel like they are a part of my body. They are heavy though! They weigh 3 lbs.
I lift weights, do push ups, swim and jog--I have to wear one sports bra and a sports bra lined tank top to do it but I can! I can do everything that I used to do, even sleep on my stomach!
I listened to my PS and his nurse about how big I could go--I tried on implant sizers in the office. My Fiance and I both liked the 550cc and Dr. Creech is adamant about only using silicone which is the only way I would go too. The silicone makes your breasts feel like your own. I thought of going 600cc but Dr. Creech and staff including Fiance said that the 600cc would only give me "side boobs" not increase the profile. And they said I looked matronly and top heavy. So I went with the 550cc. And I couldn't be happier. Even my PS said that my boobs were perfect! That is great coming from him!
I would HIGHLY recommend breast augmentation--it rejuvenates you and makes you feel so womanly! Of course my PS was one of the best around--I didn't even have pain the day of my surgery--I went shopping! Dr. Creech in Chandler, AZ is an amazing PS.

Hi kittling,
It is great to hear from you! I am glad you had a good outcome--sorry to hear about you needing to go back. What size are you now? And what size are you looking for? I am a 38 D/DD now after dropping and fluffing. They aren't high or tight and they fill out my bras differently now then they did the first several months. I had the 550cc silicone implants and I thought of going to 600cc but my PS said I would look top heavy and matronly. And that I would end up with more side boob than projection. So I didn't go with the 600cc. I am very happy with my size. Good luck with your new boob job and keep me posted--I like hearing from you! :-)

Morning Holly,
Nice to hear from you too sweetness.. im glad to hear yours are doing good. yes as they settle they do fill out differently .....oh i forgot to send you a picture.i would love to show you... how do i do that?I think im in the 38Ds im a little under 2 cups now, so i want another cup size .i have a 492cc mid range profile siclione now and i have to admit they are great and like you said alot of side boob but damn just having got that extra fullness..really disappointed so i went back to my doctor and he said i would be looking into 600cc to give me my look.. i love the look of the mid range profile but i think the high profile will give me the fullness but less side boob ..He wasnt impressed that i wanted to go bigger lol but its such a personal decision Holly and im really am unhappy with the size otherwise he did an excellent job...i think he might take me to high profile..i cant wait ...i go back in August to re confirm ...I wanted to make sure i waited at least a year from my first one so all my tissues etc are healed.. I posted a question here to get some implant profile opinions ....

March 28, 2012
38 D's are very nice! If you go much bigger you have to wear bras that are unattractive--like my friend did. She has 700cc and is a size F and has my body style but is 5'4". If you want more fullness and a more pronounced side view profile you would definitely want to go High Profile. Like I said I was gonna go with 600cc but my PS said I'd have too much side boob and that if cleavage is what I was after--I wouldn't get it because it depends on whether your boobs before had cleavage. Which mine did not. So he said I would look very top heavy and matronly with 600cc. I went with the 550cc HP silicone and I have never been happier. I get the cleavage I want from my bras and swim suits. Naked I have no cleavage but I didn't have cleavage before. I wish they would make an HP with even higher profile options--they only offer the one now! Then I'd gone much bigger in HP.
Yes, I'd love to see a pic! You can go in under your profile and add photos easily--however I think your account is set to only send private emails and I could not view any of your photos from previously. ? Don't know how you change that option from private only.
So I look forward to seeing some pics. I think I will take a recent one in my swim suit. I am just so happy that they are squishy and real feeling. I doubt anyone thinks they are real--but I like that--it is kind of like saying hey, I pamper myself! :-)
Keep me posted and I'll look for your pics!

Hello Holly,
Thanks for your reply .....Well thats the whole point I dont want to have to wear a bra all the time and im finding im wearing one still to get fullness and its really distressing me...Yes i think high profile too or same style but 616cc mid range because i do love the look i have now but again not enough fullness...I do have cleavage though .Yes i agree they are so real soft feeling and i cant even feel my implant thats how good my doc placed them...
ok ill look into the pic thing or if you like i can email pic if you like... Kittling..

March 31, 2012
Hi Kittling, 616cc would be much bigger--that is exciting! I'll watch for your pics. About the pink tank top--I am not wearing a bra. My PS said I could go without a bra occasionally but if I do it often I will end up with saggy big boobs instead of saggy small boobs. I am so paranoid about sagging I half the time still wear a bra to bed!!!! They are so heavy it is uncomfortable to go without. I also have a hard time finding tops/dresses that fit me. I wear an extra large now when I was a medium. I look forward to seeing your pics!!! I will some some more too.

Holl Doll...... You look awesome. I am having A Mommy Make over and want to end up with Beautiful Full looking breast like yours. I pray that i am blessed to have such similar results . Congrats hun you look great!

Thanks Sunkysd! Your makeover will make you a new woman! My friend is having one too and she can't wait. I can't wait to see your pics! It is amazing what a little help :-) can do for your esteem and just the air about you changes! You are going to look marvelous!

It has been 9 months since my BA and I couldn't be happier. My implants feel like my own real boobs. They don't feel like an appendage anymore. I can sleep on my stomach and even jog--although I have to wear two sports bras. I sometimes feel self-conscious when I am around my family members so will down play them but when my husband and I are out or with friends--I let them be what they are intended to be attention-getters :-) which of course he loves. After being rather flat chested 36B all my life, I am not used to the attention, but I am GETTING used to it LOL!! I love being able to wear tops that are a little sexy, even plain t-shirts look sexy now! At 45 I thought it was all down hill, but thanks to making the decision to get implants for my 45th Birthday--things are really looking great and 45 is only a number! I would highly recommend getting implants if you've had kids, or have always been flat chested. It does amazing things for your self esteem. It isn't about men looking at you (AND women) it is about carrying yourself with a regalness that wasn't there before. At least that is my story and a happy ending it is! :-)

Holl Doll, you look great! I hope I am just as lucky. I am 33 days post op, and stressing over dropping! My PS said it may take me much longer than most since I went so large, and never had any kids. I hate the waiting.... But you look GREAT! Glad your so happy!
May 30, 2012
Thanks Rxgirl70! When I first looked at my breasts afterward they looked like loaves of bread--high on my clavicle and long. I was so worried I started massaging my upper poles right away. I only had to wear the band for 2 days and they started dropping. My right one stayed higher for about a month and i was nervous that I would be lopsided forever! It dropped after much massage. So massage a lot when your PS tells you you can! I am glad you didn't get a lift--I was told I needed one too and I didn't want the lollipop scar (My scars show really well on my white skin) so I opted to wait. Glad I did, the high profile large size lifted them right up! Saved money too!!!! So, I am glad you waited as well, you will be happy with the results. They look beautiful!! And will be just perfect when they drop and fluff. You are going to love BIG boobs girl!!! Congrats on your weight loss too!! You are a whole new woman! Celebrate!!! :D Keep me posted please!!
May 31, 2012
Thank you! Funny, today, I took some photos and I finally see a difference at week5 from week1. So at least I can relax a little bit knowing something is happening finally! I am glad so far that I did not get a lift. If I need one when I am fifty, well I will visit that decision then.,.. but for now, I like BIG full BOOBS, with some natural sag is womanly in my opinion! I am going to try and take care of them, and not go bra-less too much even though I want them to drop, I do not want to drop too much in the end ;).. LOL
June 1, 2012
I totally see a big difference in your purple bra! You are really dropping nicely! :-) You look big and beautiful! Are you a DD right now? Mine settled down into a D/DD depending on the bra after all the swelling went down and the fluffing. It is amazing you will literally wake up and your boobs will feel different, not firm anymore--squishy! And no one can tell they aren't real. Except that they are BIG! Heehee!
My PS said I could go braless on occasion but not to regularly or I'll look like I did pre BA--I will never have saggy boobs again so I wear a bra or sports bra all day and even sometimes at night. I really don't like taking it off. I think it is a security thing. They feel so good in the sports bra. They also weigh 3 pounds and going without a bra actually kind of feels odd. The women that have smaller implants that have tighter skin and got implants that had to be squeezed in--can go braless. But not our bigger boobs at 550cc up. I am having a hard time finding dresses that fit me! I need a lg/XL on top and a medium bottom. Good luck with that! But shopping for tops is fun!!! Keep me posted with pics and news!!! You look so great!

Wow I'm so glad I'm not alone I'm 2 weeks post op and my breast are still very high I was getting very depressed thinking I'm gonna be looking like this forever. After I read all your comments it made me feel better. How long does it take to drop anyways? I can't wait to have great looking breast like yours.
June 1, 2012
Hi aleslie07, Trust me you aren't going to look like you have bread loaves forever. They will start dropping at about 3-4 weeks. I was nearly completely dropped then, but not fluffed. I could lift weights, pushups, jog without any trouble at 4 weeks. By 6 months I was fully dropped and fluffed, but recently I have fluffed more--so that they really feel like my own boobs, I can't feel the implant unless I lay down. I don't see any pics of you so it is hard to tell where you are at. Can u post some? It really helps and it is so nice to have a journal of your journey through this great time! Keep me posted on your progress. You will be able to lift things sooner than you think!

i'm going on a fishing tournament this weekend and the PS told me to wear two sports bras if the boat is bouncing. i'm more worried about getting up and down the ladder when i have to pee!! we are fishing w/ another couple on their boat and i haven't told my girlfriend (and she's one of my closest friends!) i was going to say i had pulled my back out so can't cast out or lift anything...we'll see!! i'm not worried about her knowing but she loves to gossip and i don't want to be the subject of the beach this summer. hahah!! i am so silly - it's like who cares? this is my 8th day! and i'm rambling! LOL! actually all the people i know, i'm thinking there are really only maybe 10% that have natural boobs! :-)
last night they were really gurgling...getting more feeling in them... may go out today and get another more flattering sports bra. tired of the white and gray one - so blah! i need some bling! i'll ask the PS assistant later but how long did they tell you to wear the sports bras? Happy friday everyone!
