I Love my Implants and my Choice! - Chandler, AZ

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.

Hi, it has been 6 months since my BA and my...

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.

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! :-)

Great review?

The Dr. is extremely busy, but he knows what he is doing and he relies on his highly competent office staff to share his/their thoughts and experience with you regarding size, outcome, what to expect etc. He doesn't hold your hand in other words but if you have problems he'll be right there. Don't expect too much time with your PS for routine post op checks if you don't have any problems they are a quick 15 minute appt. Fortunately for me my surgery and post op care was/is a breeze. I had no pain after surgery and i had no problems with my implants. They dropped within the first month and a half and at two months post op right now, my incisions are healing nicely.

Hi bigdogva! Thanks! I am blessed with nice big silicone boobs heehee! And so are you! Are yours saline? Support now is of utmost importance! Just think when we were size B's they sagged--so now as D's we really have to be careful! I have one triangle top that I used to wear; I tried it on tonight and it barely covered my nipples! I definitely need a larger size!!! Lol! I had to give my girlfriend all my cute nighties and old tops because they no longer fit. I felt bad giving them to her because she wants a boob job so bad but can't afford it. That is so sad. I feel like I can't talk to her about them because I don't want her to feel bad or that I am rubbing it in. You definitely won't have to worry about popping out now! How are you handling the boat turbulence and pounding on the waves? That is hard on everyone when you are going fast and are slamming against the wakes. Did your PS go under breast for the incision? That would hurt I'd think with bouncing. Mine were done through the aerola and my recovery time was a day! Have a happy Sunday!

Holl Doll, i think your look real, whos to say you weren't blessed with nice big boobs? you carry them very well :-) i couldn't wear the triangle tops, even before. even though i was a B i liked support and like the underwire bras. as much as we are boating and running around, i like them protected! and not pop out climbing off and on boats- the funny thing is before i'd be jumping the waves at the beach and had my little puppies so "pushed up" w/ VS bathing suits they would pop out. don't think that will be a problem now haha!! have a great weekend!

Congrats on 1st and 2nd!!! I have a friend who has had her implants (saline 750 cc) and her implants aren't hard and still don't have to be replaced so that gives me hope. Maybe ask your PS when you see him tomorrow what causes breasts to get hard and turn into balls. I'd like to know too! It takes an awful lot to rupture an implant--women wrestlers have implants and they get shoved to the ground --worst case scenario so I am not too worried about doing any damage. Although my dog jumped on the bed on top of my new boobs after surgery and I yelped and thought one ruptured. Don't worry. But I can imagine how sore you must be after bouncing in the boat all day especially your incision sites! I am glad your friend didn't freak out. I know what you mean about seeing boobs everywhere now. i am always wondering are they real or fake? I think mine look fake which I don't mind a bit. I figure if I shelled out $6,000 for them they might as well look like a shiny new toy!!! LOL! They FEEL real though and naked I think they look real. My problem with the triangle bikinis--I would wear one in a hot second but I am so afraid of drooping without some support!!! They are 3 lbs!!!!! When I take off my sports bra they actually kind of hurt to hang loose at first. They like being bundled up I guess or it is my mind trip! :-)

I found a really comfortable black sports bra at JCPenneys today (underscore seamless racer back sport) lightly lined. $15 It's the same material as a bathing suit perfect! I'm going to wear a cotton sports bra under that and then just a tank top over that instead of a tankini top. They had a really nice sexier racer type bra but only had 36 D and it was a little tight. Not a lot of selection in larger sizes at all. I'll definitely check out Walmart.! I'm sure after drinking beer and fishing together for 8 hours. I'll end up telling her! I had a fitted button down shirt on tonite and she didn't notice She did notice my new haircut though ;). It was funny - there were a few girls there enhanced and my husband made the comment...it's like when u buy a new car-- you see ithem everywhere! This sounds stupid but I'd rather people think they are really mine. Kind of like yeah my hair really is natural auburn w blonde highlights ;).

It is hard to find bras in our new size but I'm not complaining! I didn't tell my Mom that I had a boob job because I didn't want her to worry about surgery and of course she would immediately have visions of size ff porn star boobs. So when she came to visit (she lives out of state) she kept saying you look really good, did you get your hair cut? You've lost weight...finally she said your boobs look bigger, what kind of bra are you wearing--I want one!! LOL! I told her it was the silicone kind--she looked at me for a second and I said the $6,000 kind!!! and she about fell on the floor. BUT, she said she liked them. I had her feel them and she said that they looked so real she wouldn't have thought. All her friends have the kind that are hard as melons--so when she hugged me she didn't notice so much. So I can totally see how your friend hasn't really put it together yet. At first I was like--I don't care if the world knows they are fake, I spent $6,000 on them and I love them! Now that they've settled down, I kind of like the fact that people can't tell if they are real. I still highly doubt anyone thinks they are real, they are too perky and the side profile is so pronounced but from the front they look real and they FEEL real. So I don't care. But I know how you feel--in the presence of other women who have had them done--I would want them to think mine were real--I hope that doesn't sound catty! :-) Now, I notice fake boobs everywhere I go, my fiance and I play this game--"real or fake". I was out last night and this girl had huge boobs and was in a strapless bandeau type sun dress with no bra and she clearly had fake ones because they sat like cantelopes. She looked pretty good though I must say! Also about the hair, yes I am a true blond, but I do highlight it because I have grayish roots--but I don't tell anyone because to me I really am blond. Well I can't wait to hear about your excursion! Have fun!

we came in first and second place! woo hoo! my husband wasn't the captain though and the guy driving the boat was going so dang fast! i had two sports bras on and a tight tank top plus i held on to them and sat in the back of the boat. i had to tell my friend because i was holding myself! haha. at first i mumbled something about my back and then just told her. i had wrote in a earlier post but i think i put it on yo yos post just becuz i clicked on the last email sent. wasn't sure if that goes out to everyone. im def. not telling anyone just because even my good friend was like oh, hope they aren';t too big....hope they dont get all hard like so and so's... she gossips sooooo much too - i told her i havent told anyone and i did not want anyone to know. i told her that i had lost so much weight and that's where i lost first so just added a little bit of volume. i don't think i'll be wearing a triangle bikini top around here! haha!! anyway i told her three times that i knew it was going to be hard for her but i DID Not want her to tell anyone unless they didn't live here and i don't know them!!! now if i can just get my husband not to run his mouth. haha!! when she was telling me that stuff i wasnt really offended because one thing i do like about her is that she's very honest. maybe too much sometimes LOL!! anyway, i hope i didnt hurt them. they are waking up and before the fishing tourn. i'm getting little stabs and can tell my nerves are healing.... after the crazy boat ride, they were aching so i took some advil and chilled out. i swore to my husband they ruptured and he said they were still very much enhanced. haha! my follow up is this Friday so i hope he checks them out good. maybe i'll tell him to doubleck... the sides hurt more than anything... not a bad pain but aching... wore a tankini, low cut yesterday without a support bra... was hoping the top didn't slide over because they still are pretty numb and i wouldnt have known! there were a few girls at the beach that were def. enhanced. one girl had a triangle top on and she was def. a DD and they were high too. there was no support in the piece of cloth to move them up and keep them there. i personally thought they looked great. now, there are boobies everywhere!!!!

It's funny you mention your going on a boating excursion this weekend. Two weeks after I had my BA, my Fiance had his company picnic at a LAKE! I was told absolutely not to get my stitches wet and NO swimming! So we went, and I wore a cute short sundress with my bathing suit underneath and when we went out in the boat, i just dipped my body into the water hanging onto the ladder and peed. People asked why I wasn't swimming and I said it was too cold! It worked out just fine. Having a back injury sounds ok but I would think if she is one of your closest friends, she would be able to tell you are bigger. Couldn't you just tell her to keep it a secret until you are ready to "unveil yourself" after YOU get used to the idea?! I would hope she'd be quiet and understand and BE THRILLED for you! Believe it or not Walmart has some very cute sexy sports bras that give you cleavage, lift and major support. I bought 3! I love them and wear them every day and to bed too. They aren't blingy though. At my 1 month check up my PS told me I could wear regular bras but that they needed to have a wire or at least good support--he said because they are big and heavy they will sag after a while without it. I said A-Okay! I am afraid to even shower without support--I hold them up with one arm--I know I am paranoid! :-) Have a great time fishing!!!

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!

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!
aleslie07 30 May 2012
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.
Holl Doll 31 May 2012
oops, I wrote I could jog at 4 weeks, I meant 4 months.
Holl Doll 30 May 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!!
Rxgirl70 31 May 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
Holl Doll 31 May 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!
Rxgirl70 30 May 2012
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!

hey i sent you some pics ..did you ever recieve them..
Holl Doll 7 Jun 2012
Hi kittling! I didn't receive any pics :-( did you send them to my email? murphyholly@hotmail.com. I also didn't see any on your profile page. I am sorry I am late in responding to your post--I must have missed it somehow... Please resend. I hope you are doing great!
