Breast Augmentation w/ lift! 397cc!

omg, THANK YOU!! I don't think I will ever get sick of the compliments. lol Yeah. I was so deflated before (pregnancy & weight loss takes a toll on the breasts). I feel like I am 16 again. Really, it's like my surgeon gave me my youth back and it feels really great!! Did you see the ones I just posted today w/ out the tape? I had a little bit of the skin on the incision sort of come up when I pulled the tape off my areola. That was FREAKIN CREEPY!! The nurse said the same thing happened to her and those little spots will just need a bit more time to heal but, won't effect the overall outcome. ugh. I have been an anxious mess today. So, your comment means SO much. Thanks for taking the time to write that to me!!

Thanks! They are looking/feeling really good for only being 3 1/2 weeks out. And, no, I am not having any itching. Just, sore still.

Hi!! Thank you! Thats great.. isn't it nice to wear a pretty bra instead of a compression bra all the time? I still wear my sports bras at night and during the day but, when I go somewhere I wear the lace bra and I just feel more.. normal in it. It was a cheap bra too.. I think I got it from Ross or some place like that. Did you take the underwire out of yours?

Piper your totally right. I feel more in it as it fits snug around perfectly, mine was at a good price also from Walmart. I did get the underwire out because I didn't want to ruin it but I will tonight. The wire does bother a tiny bit. Mine are D cups what's yours. But I have 38 D's .. I still think I coul have gone bigger. But I have the biggest silicone size available. Maybe next time I'll go bigger just because I feel I wanta little more projection. I also wear my sports bra to workouts. But not to sleep, I am wearing a soft cup bra instead. Feels good and doesn't bother.

Thanks for the reply piper

WOW. THANK YOU!! It's not every day that you can show people your breasts and get a comment like that. :) Especially after having breastfed 3 babies. I appreciate you taking the time to tell me that. I am starting to gain my confidence back! This was so worth it!!

Thank you so much!

Hi!! Thank you. I went ahead and posted a before photo so you could compare. I had one on here at first but it bothered me to see it so i deleted it. But, i realize how helpful it is for us women to see the before and after. This one is the photo they took at my PS office. You can see, i was very deflated after pregnancy & breastfeeding. If you want a very natural look, 397 is a good choice but, as happy as i am, i still think i could have gone a little bigger because of my height/frame. Let me know what you decide, I'll be excited to see your results!!:)

Hi Piper6207! Thank you for posting your before picture. I saw your results and thought how perfect they looked and with similar stats... I want what she got! I feel that you had a bit more breast tissue than I do before so maybe I will go ahead with 450's!?! I've got my pre-op appointment tomorrow and my final sizing appointment with a girlfriend this Friday. Thank you for sharing your journey:)

I would go w/ 450's if I were you. I wish I had (again, even tho I do love my results).. It's better to be a little tiny bit bigger than not big enough. The difference between 397 and 450 is not much.. but, just enough extra to feel satisfied w/ your size. I think 450 would look great on you! Good luck! :)

Thanks for the input! I love how the 400cc sizers looked on me today, and they say you loose 10% with going under the muscle, so maybe I will go for 450? Final decision has to be made tomorrow:S On our taller frames I think we certainly can handle the bigger 400-450 sizes... I just love how fabulous yours look. Better than natural but no one would have guessed! I'm really concerned about going too big. Then again almost everyone seems to wish they had gone bigger!?! Gah! Only time will tell!

I think I've seen that, about losing 10%, somewhere before and it makes sense but, I always thought the muscle acted sort of like breast tissue in that it added more to the implant.. does that make sense? That's just what seemed to make sense to me but, with that said, I think it's so odd how implants really do look totally different even on two women of the same height and similar build. I have looked at so many profiles on here, trying to find woman who are my height, and some will have 350cc and look large.. some will have 600cc and look small. When I tried on the 397 sizers.. I liked the width and the feel of them. When I tried on 475's, they felt heavy and too large for me. I think that had a lot to do w/ them being bags of silicone stuck in a bra and they would have probably felt just fine inside of me had I went w/ the 475's. But, I went with my first decision b/c I felt like your first choice is usually the right one. I still think you can't go wrong w/ 450. The difference between 400 and 450 is barely significant and, again, you would probably be happier if they were a tad bigger than you expected than for them to be a tad too small. 450 is still considered a modest size (esp. for us taller ladies).. let me know what you decide!!

Thanks! What size are you getting? I had a lot of loose skin to start with so that's why they weren't super high and awkward right after surgery. Thank you for the comment. Good luck w/ your surgery:)

I'm getting 300cc in my left and 325cc in my right...Although I am going for a second consultation just to make sure. It's hard not to second guess size! Thank you :) my surgery may be happening much sooner than I originally planned which makes me so happy :)

Thank you!! I have had such low self esteem for so long, these nice comments will never get old!!
