hey girls so I originally had my first BA done 12/28/2012 (done with dr.berlet please read bottom of last review if you are deciding to go with him) anyways my first BA I got 475cc moderate plus profile silicones under the muscle.. long story short I was unhappy with them not even close to the size I wanted and not the look I was going for, my left nipple still has no feeling 5 months later and my scars for 5 months are terrible! so I outright paid that surgery 8k that went down the drain :( but I rather spend the money and be happy then spend the money and have results im very unhappy with so second time around I am financing this procedure... anyways on a more positive note! my sure is 2 days (this Friday) so im nervous about my results, excited that I may finally have the boobs I want and just impatient and want to start the healing process so I can be better in time for the summer to tan!! haha my new doctor is dr. gartner, I feel more comfortable with the doctor since he specializes in boobs where as my previous surgeon did not. I decided to go with 800cc high profile silicones under the muscle crease incision... I started at a small B went to a D and we shall see what size I end up at next... so im going to post wish pictures, what I started with before any of the surgeries and how I look after my first BA, ill keep you all updated!! wish me luck cuz I sure can use it!!!

Hey girls! so0o0 everything went extremely smooth....
Unknown123456May 3, 2013
hey girls! so0o0 everything went extremely smooth.. my surgery was at 730 am and we started exactly at that time.. nurses were great caring and informative and dr was awesome.. before going in his ER room he took pictures and drew on me... previously I asked him about getting and internal bra( which is basically extra stitches on the breast wall to hole the implant up and helps preventing bottoming out.. he told me I didn't need it but today when he was marking me he said he will add a few stiches to put us both at ease so I was super happy about that... I was in and out of the ER in a blink and since this is my second BA he did not put an ace bandage on me just because my implants already fit into my previous pockets that were made... anesthesia was simple I didn't get sick and when I woke up I was able to walk no problem... as for pain? NONE I have absolutely no pain at all.. I didn't even take a pain pill until now just incase the other meds I got earlier are starting to wear off but def feels like I got nothing done which was the same for my first BA I guess I just tolerate pain very well lol.. when I was in the car I was like [RS bleep] I can go to work now if I wanted haha but I didn't lol...anywho I did not loose my appetite I was starving so im eating normal which is good and im basically feeling great.. and again I went from 475ccs mod plus to 800cc HP silicone under muscle under crease incision.. im posting same day surgery pics now .. so far so good and much more please with my results.. as far as worth it it hasn't even been one day and they haven't dropped yet not that they will take long to drop since I had pockets already but I think they look good... can only get better from here as long as there are no complications!!

Holy moly those girls are awesome!!! You look wonderful and even though they are 800cc's (holy [RS bleep]) they fit you well!! Look at you!! Looks like you have a 21 inch waist!! You look lovey!!! Congrats and keep me posted! Did he say stay with bandage until tomorrow and then shower? Did he say he could fix you incisions (I'm assuming he used the same ones) def keep me posted and can't wait to see your progress!!
May 4, 2013
thank you hun its thanx to our doc!! you in good hands... he decided not to put an ace bandage on my because being that its my second ba the pockets were already made and the muscle was already loosen so I can shower tomorrow and I wont be able to see my incisions for a week or so but he did use the same ones so hopefully they heal up nicer than my previous scars!! and I will def keep posted and post pic progress.. im excited for your surgery now lol!! im happy I decided to go with him he really is amazing

May 4, 2013
Just read how you didn't need the ace bandage!!! I'm so happy to know he starts on time some of these poor ladies wait all freakin day starving!! By what time were you out of there super girl?
May 4, 2013
lol well I got there at 615 I literally walked up to the door and the nurse opened it before I even rang the bell lol so we got all prepped signing more papers, pics, iv, and him drawing on me.. we were waiting for the anesthesiologist to arrive and we started exactly at 730 I was in the car driving home at 940am crazy!!! he is very organized and then he just called me 30 min ago to check up on me an see how I was doing

May 4, 2013
That is so awesome!!! Yeah ill be there by 630 the latest!!! You are too much but so happy you are able to keep me posted!! Lol my fiancé was like Whoa!! Haha. Well 20 more days for me I feel so much more at ease now!! Still freakin out a bit but more
Confident lol!!!
May 4, 2013
lol!! well its only normal to be nervous you can be going to the best surgeon in the world and anything can go wrong but just know your in very good hands not to mentioned double board certified!! my friend who went with me had a conversation with him when I was in the recovery room and he said that he was a great guy/doc so don't worry and trust me perks will be your best friend.. and the second day will be your worst im having a bit of pain now cuz the other meds wore off but its not unbearable so don't worry!! I cant wait to see your results!! oh and just keep in mind that your boobs are going to be much higher then mine possibly up to your collar bone so don't freak out that's totally normal!

May 4, 2013
Haha!! I expect that high look at the beginning! Again thank god for this site or I would be in for a rude awakening and probably devastated with the franken boob look!! But I'm hoping I am preparing myself for the worst and its not so bad!!! As for the second day I have read it's the worst so no movin for me days 1-5 ha! I wonder if girls in really good shape suffer more since their pec muscles are tighter? I work out but slack off often lol hoping the chubbiness is a plus lmfao!
May 4, 2013
hmmm well I have never worked out in my life so I wouldn't be able to answer that lol!! im just happy I didn't loose my appetite i feel like i can eat more now haha im a weirdo.. and thanx for the compliments!! :) youll be totally fine :)

May 4, 2013

After buying a ton of sports bras targets were thee best by far & still wearing them, i had my surgery done august 2012 600cc HP Silicone over loved when they were swelled, as of today i have rippling in middle of boobs, i hardly have any body fat. I was told gain some weight, im 120lbs & 5'5...i did gain 6lbs was 114lbs.not sure your weight or height, but i ended up being a 30H/32G i like to wear under wire pushup because to support those heavy puppies..not sure if u were told to sleep in sportsbra but i was(target one is the best-tried them all even under armor...like u i did not get sick at all only mistake was i tried going back to working out 4 days later didnt feel to great after but was in full working out , work etc in 1 week..i had saline prior to silicone & was so sick when i had that done...enjoy them & welcome to the big puppy world
May 5, 2013
hey hun thank you!! omg these target bras are so freakin comfortable! and yeah I was told to wear sports bras when going to bed so that my skin doesn't stretch too much! I cant wait to wear underwire bras I wonder what size ill be,,, I was a b went to a d so I think I may be a triple d hopefully haha.. im 52' ... why were you told to gain weight if you don't mind me asking?? haha and thank you! hopefully I don't need to go under the knife again anytime soon

May 7, 2013
I was told to gain weight because those few pounds would cover the few ripples i have :)...I so think your size will be bigger then a DDD ..honestly in looser clothes it they dont look big, but look out in ones that do...i was also a small b, if you have any questions about anything im here for you...you are sooooo going to love them...i have to say im having a heard time finding a bathing suit top that actually fits :)...Nordstrom has bigger bra sizes a little expensive but they fit, i bought a few at victoria secrets bras (for going out & real low cut tops) i had to go to 34DDD & my nipples pop out lol, i cant fit in any victoria secret bra correctly...keep me posted & if you have any questions im here for you...good luck
