I am scheduled in july! I have always wished my boobs were bigger and after breastfeeding three kids I wasn't left with much!! Then I lost about 20 pounds and was left with even less on top. I have never done anything just for me so after discussing it with my wonderful husband I decided I was gonna be selfish. Went to two different PS but knew the moment I met Dr. O' Halloran she was the one her office staff is wonderful and very helpful. Really scared of surgery but hoping all goes well.

Also forgot to add I am having a Hysterectomy as well on the same visit to the OR. Anyone else have this done? Also has anyone had both saline and silicone implants which feels better?

Ok well after we worked hard to save the $$$, our neighbor let us know he was moving and we always joking around said if he moves we want his house, so instead of new boobies we are putting a down payment on our new home! Guess I just have to wait again :( , sad but excited too, being a mom is all about sacrifice though so I can wait.

post-op day 1:

got home around 7 pm last night, mysurgery was at 2pm but spent extra time in recovery due to post-op nausea/vomiting, the nurses were great they gave me everything they could scopalamine patch, zofran and phenergan. I was still throwing up last night ( I hate General anesthesia). Very sore today feels like my milk came in and then someone put two bricks in my chest. The muscle relaxers help, not taking the vicodin cause it makes me sick, just using tylenol right now. I am so glad I have this community to refer to so I was better prepared.

I absolutely made a great choice, I love my new boobs they feel great and very natural feeling (says my husband), incisions are still pink but implants have finally dropped and I can wear an underwire bra now, got fitted last week I am a 34 D 1/2 so tried a 34D and 34 DD but D was too small so went with 34 DD, I thought I was gonna be a full C but I guessed wrong.

Just a tip Wal-Mart has great microfiber bras with lightly padded front (so no nipple show) and no wire for only $5, I lived in these the past few months before I could buy a "real bra" and they worked great. Nipples are still numb at the bottom but Dr. says they should come back within 6 months, I loved her because she has implants too and so does her nurse and neither one was afraid to talk about their experience.

I would highly reccomend Dr. Laura O'Hallran in Tyler Texas at Trinity Clinic Cosmetic Surgery!!!!!
Great review?

My Doctor: Laurence O'Halloran, MD

Look great! Did you get saline? Gel? How big??
CVRN 3 Oct 2012
I got 350cc Silicone gel. I liked the way the silicone felt versus the saline, the saline felt heavier and stiffer. Thanks I'm still pretty swollen.

Hi you are not alone. You will love this site .Thank you for letting us read your journey . I hope to read more .Have you picked the size yet ?
CVRN 2 Jun 2012
This site has been wonderful. I have found so much information here it is great. I'm still debating on everything!! I think the ones I liked were 325 or 350 moderate profile silicone. But now I'm wondering if I should just do saline. I really don't know.
