So I seen my PS last week and she answered a lot of my questions I have decided on either 450cc-500cc not to sure yet I don’t want to be HUGE but I want them to be nice and noticeable lol! I am going with Mentor Memory Gel “Gummy Bears” they are supposed to be the best on the market right now I am going to have to pay a little extra but seems well worth it!, I am having to go over the muscle because I have a minor “deformity” so I don’t have a lot of breast tissue underneath my nipple so to make it full we have to go over the muscle. I am going to make an appointment to go back and bring a tight shirt and a front closure bra to get a better idea of the difference between 450 and 500cc.

Hey so I am picking my surgery date on the 9th of April but my surgeon is very very busy but she is going to try and get me a date as soon as she can! On that day I will also decide if I am going to get 450cc or 500cc!!! I was just wanting recommendations for things after surgery like how did you pick the correct bra size before the BA? I have also been hearing alot about Arnica? Any information or help is appreciated!!!

I was wondering when is the absolute earliest you think I can work out? Like push ups and excersixes like that? I am in the Military and I am hoping this will not effect me to much. Thanks for all your comments! I will be taking 30 days of leave and hoping when I come back to work I will be partially able to do everything.

I am hoping some ladies who have gotten 500cc...

I am hoping some ladies who have gotten 500cc implants can comment if you have pictures and what was your size before and after? I know it is different on everyone but I would love to actually see this on a woman! I cant decided between 450cc & 500cc but I am scared 500cc will give extremely large breasts that dont look natural! I am very broad shoulder and dont have much now but I would love to see some ladies who have gotten this size! My surgery is in June and my Preop is May 15th!

Welp, it is getting closer and closer to my surgery date!!! I have excaulty one month before I am part of boob land :) Can't wait to have my new girls!, I am getting pretty nervous and all just about getting back in shape after the surgery because I am in the Army and fitness is one of the top prioritys plus I will be attending a school come August so any advice on how to shorten the recovery time is greatly appreicated! Wednesday I got for my pre op and I will finally pick the size I am going to get right now I am set on MemoryGel Moderate Plus Profile 500cc Sub-Glandual. Any ladies who have gotten the same?

Well this morning I had my last appointment with the DR before surgery which is just under a month away! All I have to do is go get my blood work and talk to the ansetheaisolgist, it's crazy how real it is now!! Getting nervous!!! But anyways this is what me and the DR. Decided on!

500cc MemoryGel Moderate Plus Profile ( she is ordering 450 also just incase I don't have enough to cover the 500)
Over the muscle
Under the breast incision
I will wear a surgical bra for 4-6 weeks ( recommendations on a good one?) I will not need to massage she said because that is only required if you have smooth implants and I will have textured!
Also I will wear a "girdal" for atleast to two weeks minimum to make sure my breasts fall into place correctly!

But I think that is it, oh and I will be staying overnight DR way of knowing everything is going good because she require drains to make sure no bleeding occurs she said it happens normally within the first few hours. & to make sure pain is at the minimum :)

Now everything is so real so any pointers for anything will be great!!!!!!!

Okay so I had my very last consult before surgery!...

Okay so I had my very last consult before surgery! I am starting to get very nervous at this point!!!! But just so everyone knows this is the plan for surgery!

500cc MemoryGel Mentor Moderate Plus ( 450cc ordered just incase we cant fit 500cc"
Over the muscle
Under breast incision

I will be staying overnight which is required by the DR to moniter her patients she will also attach tubes to make sure no bleeding occurs she said if it happens its normally within the first few hours. Also, to monitar my pain! I think its a great Idea I will feel better I think the next day!

I also have to order a surgical bra does anyone recommend a good brand? She did mention to make sure the band is narrow and not wide!

So also said she doesnt recommend massgaing it is not needed unless you have smooth texture implants ( she also commented she has no idea why anyone would want them lol) .

But I am pretty excited yet nervous its gonna be strange waking up to a altered body!!!!

Well I have my surgery in 3 weeks, I am super anxious & keeping reading all these horror storys about over the muscle! I would love to some reassurance on this lol! I am having to get over the muscle to fill in my bottom portion of my breast because of my minor "deformity". But I keep reading horror storys about bottoming out and stuff! Oh me oh my too close to surgery to be stressing like this!

Great review?

Congrats on your decision! It's gonna be great. Make sure your breast width is ok for mod plus. I wanted that and was told by my PS that because of the bigger cc's, she needed to use UHP to fit them in. She also had to lower my natural crease lines because they were high?? Crazy but worth it :) You can get the most volume with the least width in UHP. Hence more projection. Just wanted to share that because I didn't know that. My PS new better ;) Good luck!!! Xo

Limaboro 17 May 2013

P.S. Oh and shock of all shocks, they have the natural look.

KlaSunshine 17 May 2013

Thanks so much for the comment!, & because my chest is so broad and wide mod plus was the only kind she recommended because i need more fullness than projection & she needs to fill in my lower quadron of my breast more than the top area & since high profile is teardrop shaped it would do the opposite of what I am needing! & after hours of research & two DRs. Seemed like it was the best decision, ultimately i wanted i want HP cause it is the best to get cleavage but they arent meant for woman with a broad chest as my PS keep telling me lol. Urs look amazing by the way!!!!

Hello! I had surgery 2 weeks ago and the surgical bras that my Dr gave me are from caromedworldwide.com and its the post augmentation bra for $39.00, it zips in the front and is easy to get on and off. Also very comfortable. I know that a lot of people post on here about the front closures from walmart, which I did get a couple for like $12-15 but that don't have very much support. The are nice for a little change. Does your surgeon want you to have a pretty supportive bra? For sizing she just got me what I was wearing for the around size, like 32,34 ????

KlaSunshine 15 May 2013

Thanks for the reply! I actually have the ones from Walmart and she used the implants as an example and put them in the bra and it weighed down she said its a good bra for after I am healed but yes she wants a very supportive bra with a small band I think I might order the Marena one but I will def. check out the link you gave me! Any pointers?

Paisley73 15 May 2013

I looked at the website for that bra and it looks like a good one. The one I have does have a small band, if you mean for like under the breast?... Or the size that you are around or maybe 1 larger if you don't want it super tight, mine seems just right but some days I do take it off for like maybe an hour and then am HAPPY to put it back on. Good luck finding one. Not sure what kind of pointer your looking for?? I think so dr.s rules of message, working out and driving are all a little different. I had read a lot about the Arnica on here as well and when I went into the OR one of the nurses said that it wasn't good to take. So I opted not to but who knows. A heating pad is nice for your back! :-) Ice for the front! Pill bottles are impossible to open, but them in a baggy or have someone help you. I have liquid pump hand soaps, which are a little hard to do. Zip up or button up tops are nice, just a little easier. Ask away and I'll help if I can!! :-)

bkraz1109 14 May 2013

hey sunshine!! if you want you can check out my page. i know i tend to ramble and my but i have a lot of stuff listed that ive been working on for a few months now regarding pre and post op needs. its the fruit of my labor as ive been stalking others on here for months and reading everything the had, needed, wanted, used and didnt use. lol : )

KlaSunshine 14 May 2013

Haha great! Thanks so much I am going to start reading now?

Danielle77064 14 May 2013

My PS said the subglandular recover is a piece of cake, most of his patients take Tylenol and that's it. We won't have recoveries like the submuscular ladies. I am only taking a week off of teaching my Zumba classes, I may do only 6 days depending on how I feel. I am a gym freak, I am more stressed about missing workouts for this than anything.

KlaSunshine 14 May 2013

I am hoping so!!! It scares me because the end of July I an going to a school that requires alot of physical activitys and I have became a gym freak since the photos I am now 25lbs lighter lol! I hope going over the muscle helps with the recovery! But thanks so much for the reply! I have put in to be off work for 20 days just because if i go back to work physical fitness is required and since this is an elected procedure i cant not work out lol! & i wanna have plenty of time to heal! Hopefully 20 days ill be fairly recovered! I heard stretches starting the day after help amazingly!

Raa1002 13 May 2013

Hi! I had the exact same "deformity" as well and got 350 silicon unders. My doctor had to lower my crease to give me that round lower pole. Any way, I had such a quick recovery , I went shopping the day after and was dancing two weeks later. I'm at about 7 weeks now and most Chest exercises still feel weird but not painful ! Good luck !

Danielle77064 13 May 2013

Hey, I have not tried on sizers on yet, will be doing that this Wednesday. I imagine I will be shooting for around 500ccs to stay the size I have been for years between pregnancies and nursing just so no one notices a change. I went from a nice full D to B after my son weaned. I am very active, I am a fitness instructor and I am going subglandular. A friend of mine got silicone unders after a 100lb weight loss and they did a lift on her as well. She lifts weights and her implants get in her way, she has to push them aside to lift with them. She had hers placed through the armpit though so that could be why hers are moving and getting in her way. Anyways so she showed me her breast the other day so I could feel them and see how I liked silicone and her implants actually sit higher than her breast tissue, she's like drooping beneath it. Although I don't have "saggy" breasts my PS doesn't want this to happen to me. I just plan to wear supportive sports bras like I always have while working out and even sleep in a supportive bra. I can't wait to see how yours turn out. I go in May 24th so come check my subglandulars out then :/

lovelife4ever 24 Apr 2013

I went with 500cc moderate plus profile. I'm 5 '2 and weight 140. I feel like mine look good on my body. At times I wished I went for 600cc. I have yet to post any pictures of my boobs. I say go with the bigger implant. I will post some pictures in the next day or two.

KlaSunshine 24 Apr 2013

Okay great! Yes I would love to see how they look? About what size do you say you are now?

Nique650 23 Apr 2013

Ur in the military? So am I.

Nique650 23 Apr 2013

Hi. Had my surgery almost two months ago. I was a 32 a before n now I'm a 34ddd I went with a 550 cc

KlaSunshine 23 Apr 2013

Hey! Yes I am Army! & your boobs dont look like. ddd but they look amazing! Very nice on you!

Mrs.510 23 Apr 2013

Hello Klasunshine :) I have my surgery in May and have decided on 550cc silicone over the muscle. If you can wait that long I'll have pix before your BA. Good luck!

KlaSunshine 23 Apr 2013

Okay great! I would love to see my surgery is in june!

luvmyhuskies 23 Apr 2013

I have Natrelle 492cc silicone under the muscle. I'm 3 weeks PO today. I have pics up and will post more today. I was around a barely 36A prior. I too have pretty broad shoulders. I'm 5'6" 125-128lbs depending on the minute of the day,LOL. I absolutely love them and I actually wish I had went 1 more size up...but I'm not disappointed, will just go bigger when I need to have them redone! Feel free to take a look at my pics and let me know if you have any questions. Good luck on deciding!!

KlaSunshine 23 Apr 2013

Thanks so much for replying!!!! Your breasts look AMAZING!!! & You have a awesome body lol! That def. helps because your breast look perfect on you and I am much bigger so I think 500cc wont look to bad since I dont have much they will be going over lol!

lily1303 23 Mar 2013

I thinl I had a similar deformity. They had to lower my crease to even it out. I didn't have a lot of breast tissue before and i went under the muscle 465 cc ultra high profile because I wanted fullness and had a narrow chest. I'm happy so far only post op 4 days but they aren't too big a nice handful. I was so worried I was going to go to big and be embarrassed but after showing people sizers they thought it looked natural. I'm glad i went with the bigger of the two sizes I was thinking. That way no regrets

Hello, For me it was no running for about 4 wks, and no weight lifting for about 6 weeks. It was about 2 months til I felt like myself again........but well worth it . :)

KlaSunshine 21 Mar 2013

Yes I am sure it will be!!! What size did you end up getting?

Reading5920 22 Mar 2013

only 300 cc saline unders. Didn't want to be too big. and I'm a 34D. So in a nice VS bra........they're nice. :)
