I have been wanting to have my breast done ever since having my daughter...

I am 5'2 about 48kg.. Im a small C cup and would love to go to a full C cup or small D :)

I have already been for my first consult.. Pretty much too meet the surgen. Talk about what i would like to achive.. And i tried on sizes... My PS suggested I go with 345cc silicone gel implants he said they will shrink about 10% once placed under muscle.. So now im just not sure :) any sugestions? I have my final consult next week sooo excited too finaly book in...

Soooooooo excited..

i had my final consult today and very happy with what i have chosen..

Im going with the 345 cc high profile, round gel implant! Under the muscel..

Im going high profile because after having my daughter i lost alot of volume at the top so should feel them back out nicely. So im booked in 26.7.2011 soo not too far away at all..
:)

So i have noticed that theres not alot of information about scar management..
At my last visit to my PS i was given a brochure for scar management its called NewGel they are silicone strips that are applied to your incision and are ment to help to reduce,flatten and smooth scars .. The web sit is www.newmedical.com

I will be ordering myself some for sure..

If anyone has used something similar feel free to leave me a post :)

So my surgery is in about 5 weeks!!!!! I can believe im finally doing it .. eeek im getting excited and nervous :D

Im only having 8 days off work so im a little worried! Im a hairdresser and only work three days so i should be ok!

My PS said i should be fine in a week so i guess i should trust him as he does have 25 years experience up his sleeve :p
I guess ill just have to take it easy...

Updated on 27 Jul 2011:

Updated on 26 Aug 2011:
I DID IT :) i finally have my new boobies :)
so i went in for surgery at 1pm and woke up in recovery at about 6pm i was in a little pain and asked for some pain meds. I was ok within about 20 mins for me the pain was around a 4 out of 10 i didnt have the heavy presure that most woman experience for me it was more of a burning sensation like the feeling when you breast fill with milk when breast feeding, my chest muscles where very tender like i had done a massive chest workout times ten. Everything has turned out amazing im very happy with my results . Im still not aloud to have a shower till tomorrow so ill post a photo asap. I have to wear my compression bra 24/7 so im going to follow my doctors orders for best results :)

Updated on 30 Aug 2011:
so i am now a week post opp and feeling alot better. the first few days were really rough for me not being able to do anything for myself. i have an appointment tomorrow with my PS to have my dressings changed..

ill update again tomorrow :)

Updated on 7 Sep 2011:
two weeks and two days post opp.. 8.9.11

i feel pretty good so far!! still a little tender. my breast are dropping nicely, think most of my swelling has gone down they are pretty soft now not as hard. i do still have some numbness which is to be expected im starting to get an electric shock like feeling in my left breast which indicates that nerve activity is returning, but it feels soo gross lol..
im still wearing my compression bra which i think i have to wear for another two or more weeks while my breast are healing. i have an appointment with my PS next week 12.9.11 so ill update a photo then..

four weeks post op feeling great!
back to almost all my normal activities. still not aloud to go back to weight training for another few weeks but im not to stressed about that ATM. as i have my amazing new boobies keeping me occupied lol.

don't really have any pain or tenderness any more, still a little numb but its to be expected.
breast have settled nicely and feel like a part of me. over all i think i had a pretty good experience and im very happy i went through with it.
worth the two years wait that's for sure. im in Sydney Australia and we have just come into spring so can wait to go clothes shopping to buy lots of nice clothes that i can wear with out a bra hehe.. ill keep everyone posted anyway as i go ..

Hi - I've just had 325cc round high profile under the muscle. I was a deflated B cup before and now theyre a DD, think when theyve settled they'll be a D as I'm only 12 days post op. Best thing I've ever done by the way, and I'm so glad theyre a big bigger than what I orognally wanted. They look natural and my clothes look exactly the same as I always wore heavily padded bras. Good luck with your op :0)
mandy77 10 Jun 2011
hey, glad your surgery went well and ur happy with ur results :)
Im a small c cup atm, i have lost alot of fullness after having my daughter, cant wait to have nice full breast again :P.. just wondering how tall you are?

Congrats. Im sure you hold them well :) im having silicone gel implant, when i tried on my sizers the implants pretty much felt like real breast tissue. Thankyou my surgerys not for another 8 weeks. Ill post photos asap :p
kindsorry 12 Aug 2011
hope you have considered the possibility of permanent numbness after surgery....if this happens, like it did to me...it's not worth it! I didn't know this ahead of time and it's changed things forever :(
mandy77 14 Aug 2011
Yes im awear of all the complications . I was given a booklet with everything i need to know. Sorry to hear your not happy.
LadyLi 20 Jun 2011
Wow, you have beautiful breasts! I don't think you need implants at all! I just got mine done hoping to turn out like yours naturally :) I have 304 cc mod plus going from an A to a C. It's only been 5 days and I am still very sore but I am pretty happy with the results thus far. Good luck with with your decision - I hope they will meet and exceed all your expectations!
mandy77 20 Jun 2011
hey ladyluc, congrats on your surgery :P thankyou for your kind words, i uploaded a side view of my breast, i think the front view made them look alot bigger then they are :p..

im hoping to achieve what i had before having a baby and dont mind if they turn out a little bigger :)..
LadyLi 21 Jun 2011
They still look really nice and if they look that good to begin with... they are going to be gorgeous!
I am petite just like you, but going from not having any breasts is really going to take some time getting used to. ;)
mandy77 22 Jun 2011
Thankyou im hoping so :) well enjoy them bet you will never look back :)
LadyLi 22 Jun 2011
It is great that you are online doing your research and getting support and information before taking the big leap. I do not want to be a downer but before going through with it, make sure it is 100% what you want to do. It may be hard googling "breast implant regrets" but with such beautiful breasts to begin with, just make sure the surgery is worth it :)
mandy77 22 Jun 2011
Yes 110% sure i want to go through with it. I have been thinking about it for the last two years or even more. I think i did my partners head in from talking about it all the time so he said to book a consultation. And now im just waiting for my big day :) im sure i will love my resaults :) thankyou for ur imput :)
mandy77 22 Jun 2011
Hey.. i just seen you are wanting to have your breast removed? My nail lady had hers done a few months ago? She has two children and in her earlie 30s i know after she got them done she hated them, as they felt so foreign to her body. Now that hers have dropped into place nicely she loves them :) i think its common for woman too feel how your feeling. Especially going from not having much breast at all to a few cup sizes bigger.. I wish you all the best. Maybe speak to ur ps to find out whats making you feel this way. Good luck
LadyLi 22 Jun 2011
After I stopped my post op meds at 5 days, I've become hyper emotional thinking I made a big mistake. I don't feel that they look so bad just don't know if I could get used to having this feeling of a foreign object I side of me. I talked to my ps and he said that a lot of women go through this and to just give it some time. I am also sad about losing sensation on the undersides of the breast. Doc said this should come back in time (but it's a risk you take in this surgery). Some other people I talked to, especially those who went over 400 ccs have permanent nerve damage. Imagine a weird numb feeling when your partner touches your breast! A once sexy feeling part is becoming a look but don't touch! I wish I really thought about how that would affect me psychologically. I'm sorry, I don't want to rain on your parade! I wish you nothing but the best.
PS there should be photos on my qu post. I really had absolutely no breasts before:( kinda miss my little boobs and padded bras lol
mandy77 22 Jun 2011
I think with time you will love them :) i honestly do. I also think to give them time your only one week out .. It may take a bit for your sensasion will come back but im sure it will:).. You would still have swelling too? So im sure once thats gone down they will feel even better.

Maybe the best thing is to not be on here reading other peoples negative reviews. Lol It will probley do your head in.

And ur not raining on my parade :).

I wish you all the best and hope you start to enjoy your new boobies :p something im sure you have been wanting to do for quite some time ..

Me too! Same here. Check out my before... If I wore a AA cup, it would have wrinkled on me. I literally had boyfriends ask me why I bothered wearing a bikini top. After pics on the other hand, I am VERY happy with! I'm thinking I'm a full C now, but I Haven't been sized yet... If this is a full C... I may be leaning toward a D?

Sorry you had to postpone your surgery! Think how great you'll look in fall sweaters, though!

DaleAnn82 20 Jun 2011
Wow! You have beautiful breasts now! But I understand the need to change. You can see my befores, I really needed a change. Sorry it got post poned and good luck!
mandy77 20 Jun 2011
hey DaleAnn82, thankyou

i uploaded a side view and you can see they are pretty deflated :( i think i have pretty wide breast so they have nice shape, but are not as full as they once were :)
your results are amazing i bet your very happy :)

i cant wait to fill out a bra.. and not have to wear heavily padded bras ever again..:)
Perry4538 21 Jun 2011
Wow, you have beautiful breasts! I wished I had breasts like that naturally and I would have never gotten mine done. I can understand your decision though. I had to postpone my original date too. I developed a stomach virus and had to wait 6 weeks before imy surgery. I love my results. Went from 34a to 34c/d. I got 400cc,gel, under muscle. Good luck!
mandy77 22 Jun 2011
Thankyou.. I Like my shape and i know they are not that bad. I just miss my fullness.. I loved the size my breast went to after having my daughter, and when i stopped breast feeding they felt/feel even smaller then what i started with before baby. Iv been thinking about it for about two years and have done lots of research. I had a friend get them done by thesame surgen about a year ago and hers look amazing and very natural. Wow you went from an a to a d :) bet you are very happy with your new aditions .
kcjojo 21 Jun 2011
I too agreed w/ other people here that you have really nice natural breasts. Have you asked for other opinions about the high profile? I heard high profile tends to look a bit fake since they're narrow and stick out.

I just had my BA 5 days ago going with saline moderate plus 300cc overfilled to 330cc. I was thinking of 275cc and no more than 300cc but my surgeon said at the surgery table he saw that 330cc looks much nicer than 300cc or less on me (I'm only 5"2 and 95 lbs).

I'm still recovering so I hope the implant will drop down nicely later. Right now it doesn't look too big as I thought it would given that I'm so small and getting 330cc is like a high C for me.

I would go w/ silicone gel if i have to do it over again so you've made a right choice there, but you might consider a few more other opinions about which profile will be best for you so that you have the best results.

Good luck with your surgery!
