350cc's Mentor Silicone Mod Plus Profile *NEW pics at 20 weeks*

I am relatively small: 5'5 and 117lb. 47 years old with three children. I had a 22? measurement under breasts. My PS recommended 350 cc Saline unders Mod profile plus. I am looking for natural (non-Pam Anderson) breasts of somewhat small size. Hoping for the best.

First week was a bit painful under breasts, and apparently I developed a hematoma right breast. Doc said since no real pain, lets wait and see. As an aside, Doctor's should NEVER tell me anything that could potentially be construed as a problem :) I am my own worst enemy!!! Anyway, looks like it is getting better.

Photos at two weeks. I appear much larger than most 350 cc photos I checked before sx. Right side is high (my dominant hand side).

Hopefully my pictures submitted work out :)

One month out...

Today is a month after the breast augmentation, and I am noticing great improvement. The breasts are softer, dropping, do not hurt as much (nerves are firing, although), and hematoma appears to be going away. Swelling is way down, and I kinda like these new breasts. They looked really boxy in clothes up until this week, and I feared they were too wide. However, they are moving inward slightly, and the look is way better.

I got the clearance to run, and so I did. I was told to wear a very good sports bra, and I chose an extra support UnderArmour. The run was ...different. But no problems with the breasts moving. They just felt a little heavy. No pain the following day, so I believe exercise is a go. Yeah!

Here are a few pictures I took at 3 weeks. Hope they help, because my husband is getting a little worried about me posting pics on the Internet :)

Correction...

Just noticed I said I have Saline implants. They are, however, Mentor Silicone implants. For the record.

Thanks.

6 weeks.

I am now 6 weeks post op, and breasts are progressing nicely. I really have to compliment my surgeon on her professionalism throughout: she is quite focused and I appreciate that immensely.
My breasts are much softer, still high, are somewhat wider than optimal, but I got what I asked for.
Hematoma appears gone, and I am in no pain. I have twinges of nerve "awakening", but nothing really worth noting.
As an aside, I moved up from a small Champion sports bra to a medium. Old swimsuits fit fine. The really only challenging part of this whole process is finding tops that do not make me look matronly. I really want to avoid that :)
My breasts do not appear much different than 3 week photos, but I will post a couple anyway. Hope this review helps.

Feeling really great about my breast augmentation. Breast are very soft and move just like real breasts. Nerve pain every so often still, but I understand this is somewhat normal.

5 Months 350 cc's Really Happy:)))

  • 17 Nov 2013
  • 5 months post
Ok. Now at the 5 month mark, and I am 100% happy with my decision to have the BA and 350cc's. I STILL have some lingering nerve pain in my right breast, but it is not terrible (I never have to take anything for it). Sometimes I think it is caused by pressure from tight sports bras, but it also happens when I have on loose bras, so it is a guessing game. I am not sure if the breasts have completed their "drop", but I really like where they sit. HAPPY:)
Best of luck to all those on their BA journey. It is worth it.

Great review?

Wow! You look fantastic! So glad I stopped by to read your story and see your pictures - you really look fabulous. Isn't it great to do this for ourselves at our age? It just goes to show we are never to old do something new and something good for ourselves. Now that I'm at almost 11 months, I'm only really noticing that I had them done again because I'm back in the gym. Up until now for the past several months they were just a part of my normal self again - I have gotten so used to having them. But now that I'm back in the gym on more conscious of them again, but that's a good thing because it reminds me that I did something wonderful for myself this year. The only other time I'm really reminded that I have big boobs now is when I'm on a date! It's rather shocking how readily and easily a man will bring up your breasts on a second date. I had no idea!

I also want to say that you've totally inspired me to lose the 7 to 10 pounds have been wanting to lose for a while. I'm 5 foot 8 inches and used to weigh 122 pounds and was always very fit until about five years ago. I now weigh 132, but I keep saying to myself that rather than wishing I had gone bigger with the breast, I just want to lose the weight that I have thats around my stomach. The way that you are built is exactly the goal I'm headed for. That's what got me back in the gym today.

That is so sweet. Thank you. Your dates bring up your breasts? Boobs...what don't they do :))))) My hubby never professed to being a boob man, but he sure does love them now. I suspect he was trying to be gentle with me all these years:) 5'8 122lb is indeed fighting weight isn't it. Very lean/fit. Hope you there!!!!!! By the way, hope you catch a good "date". They HAVE to be out there:)

Your most recent pic is so beautiful. I wish I was in as good of shape as you, dang! But I'm probably not dedicated enough to stay looking like that, it;s hard work! Can I just say, your husband better know he's the luckiest man in the world? Let me repeat myself, HE IS THE LUCKIEST MAN IN THE WORLD to have a woman as hard working and beautiful as you. I'm hoping my results will be as natural looking as yours. I know you keep saying patience, but I want that now!!!!

Holy. Crap!! A) You're 47?? And B) You've had 3 kids?? DAMN, girl!!!!! You look AMAZING!! Seriously fabulous results! Glad to hear your recovery is going well, and that Champion definitely works for ya. The caption cracked me up - my hubs is often trying to get me to run in just my Champions, instead of my high-impact running tanks that REALLY hold everything in! Lol

Thanks LL2! I am so happy your breasts are evening out. They look absolutely great! I am sure it is a relief that you will not need a revision. I really like your grey shirt in the photos. What brand? It is very flattering on you!
  • Reply
Thanks, babe! I'm so glad, too. The grey shirt is from Abercrombie a few years ago. I love button up waffle shirts. Wear them all winter! I found some cute ones at H&M last year, too.

Still looking great! Love that sports bra:) what brand is it? I'm collecting a bunch of sports bra for post recovery . Great to have an update from you:)
  • Reply
Hey Ready!!! Getting ready? I bet you are counting the days at this point:) The sports bra is Champion from Target. It is reversible, and other side is so cute. They are $14.99. VERY supportive. By the way, I wanted to tell you that I am just so happy you decided on the larger sized implant. It's PERFECT on you. I will never understand how that type of thing works:) But bigger looks stunning on you. I look forward to hearing about your journey soon!!! Keep posting:)
  • Reply
I am on both accounts:) ! Thank you for your kind words:) I went to Target this weekend and looked around at there cute sports bras. I am getting ready:), bought my marena recovery bra and some coobie bras. Getting really excited!!! I'm glad to have your advice :) , I do think I will be happier with the bigger implants. I'm looking for semi-natural, lol. :))))
