Thank you VERY much for showing the deflation!! Im thinking about not only a revision but a MM as well. How did they deflate them and was it done under a local or general?! Im thinking it might help me as well to determine how much natural breast I have before my lift and exchange.

They deflate with a syringe. It doesnt hurt at all - so don't worry about that! Just local. It does show how much breast tissue you have left - that is the reason my doctor suggested it for me. After 2 kid and 13 years with implants, I had no idea what i was working with naturally. I would recommend deflating close to surgery though. You can feel the deflated implant inside... and that can poke here and there. Good Luck with you surgery! I love my smaller size!

Ok, great info thanks! One more question I forget if you mentioned was is your implant that was deflated was behind the muscle, it would make sense if it was not but I gotta to ask :)
January 10, 2014
Yep, makes more sense now. Mine are below the muscle and I doubt it can be done under a local but I will look into it more. Thanks again!

My photo taking skills are not the best! Still a little glue left on the incisions. I love the size!! They are so lightweight!

Thanks for posting the pictures! You have beautiful results and must be thrilled! When was your surgery date? Do you still have pain? I wish I would have discussed texture with my PS. I'm not as perky as I would have liked. Failed the pencil test today. Lol I'm trying hard to lower my expectations at my age!

Thank you!
You look fabulous! Your pics could easily be someone in their 30s! :) my surgery was Aug 28 so I am right past 4 weeks. No more pain per say. Just a little soreness here and there. The worst part is sleeping on my back. My ps recommends a full 6 weeks of back sleeping and I don't want to risk anything. I am cautiously optimistic that they will stay high. My ps took me as high as possible (my request) and now I just hope that texture does its job and they say put. ;) I had never really considered textured until my he suggested it. Most surgeons in the US prefer smooth as they move more freely in the pocket. I really don't care about pocket movement. I just wanted high and tight. You mainly see texture on anatomically shaped implants so they don't turn. It just make sense to me that texture will help to keep a round implant in place as well. I also went almost half the size of my original implants and the weight difference is incredible! I never could go without a bra without feeling like I had to support them with my arm and now they feel so lightweight.

Thank you for your story ..I'm currently looking into revision

I'm still in awe that you are not experiencing more pain like I did after all you have been trough. I'm coming up on the two month mark and still have pain in my right breast. It is better everyday but somewhat disappointed that my nipples are not higher. I didn't really want a lot of cleavage as it's not very attractive and looks more like a butt crack on me.

So sorry you are still experiencing pain... that is no fun!! It was pretty painful the first week but most of my pain now is from the incisions pulling or rubbing. Is your pain nerve pain or soreness? I experienced a lot of nerve pain after my original BA but not a lot this time around - well at least so far... I truly think your breasts look great! Something to think about - you dont want you nipples too high or they might show above your bra and in low cut tops. ;)

Wow what a difference! Larger is not always better. I'd have to say even the deflated picture of your breast looked better than the 660 overs. I'm glad you've got the results and relief you deserve. Your new boobs look awesome :)
September 30, 2013
Thank you so much! Its funny but I totally agree... I liked the deflated breasts better than the hard round ones! :)

Great results you look fabulous, I hope to have such a great out come...I had overs with cc on one going to unders and need a lift on one side , quite scared of doing this all but I need to replace. Also got a chance to see me deflatted , major wake up call. Your results give me hope :)
