Breast Implants: Stories

Bumble I'm so glad to hear you're back to feeling normal.

I'm amazed at the photos and watching how your implants have dropped in the last 5 weeks. You have some great cleavage, girl! 

I can totally relate to the nit-picky feelings you are having ... one of my breasts was slightly smaller to begin with, but since I did silicone my Dr didn't think it was a big enough difference to warrant going up a size in one side. And unfortunately that's the one that hasn't completely dropped yet so it looks a little different because of that too! As soon as I start picking at those things, I stop and stare at my boobs and then my face and say "Makenzie, look at yourself! Look at your amazing rack. Remember what it was before? Now be quiet and flaunt your incredible new ta-tas with pride!"

You truly look fantastic, so don't fret. Thanks for continuing to update! 

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! I also live in SLO and have been wanting to do this but nervous about traveling south to do it. You are the first person I've found that has used Dr Hosn. Good to hear your experience was positive.

I love that you posted so many photos throughout the recovery! I can totally see how they drop over the month. Great inspiration since I'm only on day 3 and they are still riding high :) 

You definitely picked a perfect size for your body. Also so impressed at how perfectly he corrected the slight asymmetry. Can't wait to see the 2 month out photos!

 

oh good im really glad that i can help once i scheduled my surgery i still had to wait 3 months so i know exactly what that feels like but its all so worth it :) well good luck thats very exciting that you set a date and let me know if i can answer anything else :)

This helps a lot! I really appreciate the details. I do have a date set :) Feb. 16 and the "suspense is killing me". I'm very anxious but I find comfort in your story.

hi there im sorry i havent responded to you i just saw this comment yes i went back to work post op day 8 and it was a little hard because i use my arms alot but luckily i also can sit at my desk so it was ok and i felt like i was fine being there...i was only really sore for the first few days but then after that it was just tightness and almost like this rock feeling strapped to my chest but thats all gone now...hope this helps let me know if i can answer anything else :) do you have a date set ?

I'm honestly feeling great I stopped taking the narco yesterday afternoon and am now just on extra strength Tylenol I really have no pain just tightness and this feeling of rocks on my chest but it's really just weird not painful they look pretty good so far still high and swollen but that's all to be expected hope your search is going good :)

How are you feeling?

Awesome! Cant wait to see your results!

Yay!! I'm glad you're home and that there were no complications. It's done. Give us an update tomorrow or sooner if you feel any changes or think that there's anything worth sharing.

for afitnessfan- for my first consult my husband came with me so there was no assistant but at my second consult where we agreed on the final size i went alone and there was a female assistant present but she was very nice and i actually asked her opinion on sizes...thanks so much for your encouragement and ill definitley try and update tomorrow :)

for Ladytee- i definitley stressed my #1 concern was to fix my asymmetry but yeah about the areola size im going through the breast fold so i dont really think he can change the size of them but i know that sometimes the skin can stretch them?? i guess ill just find out tomorrow lol thanks for the good luck :)

Hello. I am two weeks post op and I had a breast lift as well as implants. Make sure you stress the importance of fixing the asymmetry. Although my breasts look alot better than before I am still not happy about the asymmetry. I do not think my doctor understood that I disliked that as much as the sagging. His main concern was the lift and giving me larger breasts. I have to wait 6 months for them to heal completely but I am 99% sure I will be going back to get them more symmetric.
As far as the areola I think you should discuss with the doctor how you want them to look. I think each doctor does what looks best to them. I am happy with my new areola size but my husband preferred them larger so I wish I would have specified that to the doctor ahead of time.
Good luck tomorrow you will be thrilled!

One more question, was there an assistant present with the doc the whole time? There was an assistant present for my consult and it made me feel uncomfortable. Well, it's almost surgery time. Happy New You! Please keep us posted on your recovery. I want to know what to expect. Thanks again.

Hi There I did not go to any other consults with surgeons in slo but I researched all of them and the things i heard and saw about dr.hosn were great my friend also had hers done by him and she looks amazing... He has listened to me really well and I know he's going to give me everything I want....as for the surgery I'm getting it gone at French hospital surgery center hope this helps :) good luck on choosing ur doctor and I'll try cmd post after pics as soon as I can

Brittany, Did you consult with other surgeons in your area? I too live in slo county and I just had my first consult in slo with donath. He seems very conservative and not at all interested with what I want. He said, "I'll make you look right". He decided on the profile and cc's that he determined would look right on my body (or what the manufacturer suggests). Also, will your surgery be done in a suite in the office or at the hospital? Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi I'm glad you updated! I'm excited for you, like I said before I also had small breasts before surgery (9 days ago) 32A/34AA I went with 490cc silicon unders and am beginning to wish I went larger :( still totally worth it and I'm thrilled they are sooooo much better than before. I am still swollen and wishing they would stay the size they are now haha. Oh well, I think I will be happy with the size I am because I can always wear a victorias secret bra if I want the extra size but they also look great in a completely unpadded sheer bra. I think you will look great with the size you chose and love your decision!

Hey tori thank you so much for sharing your story with me hearing your story makes me feel much better and excited about my new addition :) hope your recovery goes great :)

Hi I just wanted to write a quick post. I went through the same emotions you are going through and it was a tough time for me. Pre surgery I was a 32A/34AA depending on the bra. I wanted to end up a full C to a small D but was worried about getting too large of an implant. I initially went in hoping to get an implant ranging from the 380s to 425ccs. I was naive and didn't account for the fact that I had no breasts to begin with. I also needed extra skin removed from previously being a 36E while breastfeeding. I decided to go with silicone under the muscle because I wanted a more natural feel and not having much breast tissue of my own I didn't really consider saline too much. (my mom and 4 of my aunts ll have saline and want to get them redone with silicone). Anyway I had my surgery last Monday the 5th and my ps put in 490cc I was a little shocked when I heard the number but they don't look big at all. I forgot to mention I am 5'8 118lbs with wider hips and shoulders. So far I am completely happy. Sorry my post is so long I guess I just wanted to let you know not to be scared of a number because they look completely different on everyone. Trust your surgeon and just express to him the look your trying to achieve. I am going to get on my laptop later and try and post some pics if you want to look at them. Good luck!

Hey Brittany, I posted on my page to answer your question. But just want add that: don't be nervous, I went through the exact emotions, you need to be fully relaxed so you will have speedy recovery. What incision point and brand of implants did you doc discuss with you? I had allergan natrelle brand. A lot of people say saline implants feel hard, but mine doesnt feel hard at all, the only hard parts is the top pec muscle, but that's because during surgery they were pushed up and now they will slowly relax and be soft again. Don't work out before your surgery, you want to be fully relaxed. Hehe, I'm excited for you, best luck!

I know it's hard to wait so long but try to relax. I had a hard time with before and afters as well. I couldn't find hardly any photos that I wanted to look like. I found plenty that looked great but they weren't what I wanted. It was frustrating. Seriously I poured over probably a thousand and I literally found 2 pairs that were kinda close, and then my ps wasn't even interested in seeing them. I will say after looking at so many different set's of boobies I absolutely knew how big I wanted to go. :0) try to hang in there he'll give you what's perfect for you. Don't drive yourself crazy with all the what if's. ;0) take care, Jen

Hey Brittanyb Well 800cc's is large no matter how you slice it :0), that's the look I wanted though :0). Do I think they look to big on me? No. I'm a bigger girl though. Right now I don't think they look good but they are bruised and swollen and they still have to drop, so I'm really trying to be patient. :0) being patient really isn't my strong suit. What I wanted was to wake up with perfect (to me) boobies, unfortunately that's not how it works :( but I would say that they look as good as they can under the circumstances. :0) my only advice on size is: trust your ps to give you what you want. :0) after all that's what you're paying him/her to do ;0) take care Brittanyb. I hope you get great results. :0D Jen

Hey thanks for getting back to me. I had my procedure on nov. 4th. so I'm just trying to recover right now. :0)
