Hey everyone! I just wanted to update everyone on how things are going for me! I am now 6 months and 6 days post op. I do not have one regret!! I am in love with my boobs! LOL. They have dropped quite a bit, although they still have some softening to do. I have bought 4 bikinis so far...string bikinis that I would never have been able to wear before my surgery!! Everything is going great! I just wanted to give hope to another woman that may read this and have doubts about the surgery. :-)

Oh very nice! I can't wait to see them. Sientra I heard has really nice breast implants and are the "latest and greatest." :)

I am going to Calobrace on Dec 11 for an augmentation. I am currently a 36A and I chose something like 457 in one and 491 in the other. I didn't get to do the imaging but I'm going go ask about it at my preop appointment. I'm so nervous they will be too big. I don't want to look like I'm choking on my own boobs!

What are you stats (height and weight)? Are you going under the muscle? Those factors make a difference. If I had it to do over again, I would go bigger. Provably quite a bit bigger! Not that I don't love them, but Dr Calobrace told me that the number 1 complaint of his post op patients is that they wish they would've gone bigger, and he's right! When you first have the surgery they will be swollen and you'll think oh my gosh, these things are huge! But the swelling eventually goes down.

I'm 5'5" 160 lbs (need to lose a few). I'm currently in a 36A but u don't event fill it out. When I had my consultation I decided on 457 in one and 491 in the other. I play sports and work in a hospital so I don't want to be "top heavy"
November 17, 2012
With my stats, 5"5 and 135, I really wish I would've went a few cc's bigger. Do you want them to be noticeable? I got 435 in one and 485 in the other. Good luck with Whatever decision you make! Dr Calobrace is a wonderful doctor. :)

You really are making me more comfortable! I think I'm just nervous.may I ask what size yours came out to be
November 17, 2012
I can wear a 36D but I'm more comfortable in a 34DD. Sounds big but it's really not. I don't look top heavy at all. Ill try to post more pics soon to give you a better idea!
November 18, 2012
I was really nervous too. It will be okay! You've obviously wanted them for a long time. It will be a great gift to yourself!

You have eased my mind so much! I've never had much of a chest. People told me that they could grow up until 21...that never happened! I've always wanted boobs. I would stuff my trainer bras with socks when I was little. I've thought about implants for a few years but never thought it would really happen. Finally my boyfriend said why don't you just go for it? So I am! And I intend on getting in the gym after I'm all healed up. My healthy body weight should be right where you are! Thank you much for calming my nerves! And yes pictures would really help!

Once you do this, you'll definitely want to start getting healthy. I've joined a gym and I go five days a week. I feel so much better about myself. I really wish I would've had someone to ease my mind before the surgery but I just didn't know a lot of people with implants. There's another site justbreastimplants.com, you can join and talk to other women and get a lot of your questions answered. It has really helped me.
November 18, 2012
I joined that one as well. It also really helps talking to someone who has the same doctor! I think that is why you have been able to ease my mind so much! How long was it before you could do things? I have to lift patients up in bed and whatnot at work. I'm taking a little over 2 weeks off.
(If I'm bugging you by asking too many questions tell me!)
November 18, 2012
Haha you're not bugging me at all! I'm glad to help! I think it was a little over a week before I could lift my son, who is 3. But it wasn't comfortable. It took quite awhile for those muscles to heal. Honestly, I thought the tenederness was never going to go away, but right about the time I had those thoughts, it slowly started getting better. I think I had a pretty easy recovery but everyone goes through it and everyone is different. The only advice I can give is to stay on top of your meds and keep a positive attitude!
November 18, 2012
Thank you so much for all the encouragement! It has been great talking to you! If I have any more questions ill hit you up. If you think of anything else let me know!

I haven't posted for awhile, but thought I'd catch everyone up! I am now day 3 post op, and today I felt wonderful!! The day after surgery was by far the worst. I was regretting the decision I hd just made because of the amount of pain I was in. Glad that part is over. BF and I went to lunch and to dinner today. Ive been walking around lot and folding laundry, just trying to keep the house in order. I haven't taken any pain meds since Friday night before bed, Ive been taking only extra strength tylenol and of course the muscle relaxer and my antibiotic. Today was great. Hoping for an even better day tomorrow!
