WORTH IT$3,500
My breat implant surgery was a piece of cake, have not had any complications at all, they never hurt a single bit. They never looked deformed of like Franken boobie, never had to wait for them to drop. I guess it had to do with them being over the muscle but I love the roundness and fullness. I like the size and the position where they are. They are healing nicely and I am so happy I did it. Wanted them for so long! Wish I had not waited this long. I ended a D size! Just perfect, it was what I wanted!

Got to stop using the Medical bra at 5 week OP, wow nice!

Hi Anna, your results look amazing! I just had my op and doc said I also had tubular breast as I had a deformed ribcage!!! Did you massage at any point? I also went over the muscle:)

Thank you, no I did not, my PS specifically said to not massage them. Just up until now she asked me to massage the scar, but just to make it go down, although it is very thin and not thick at all. What did ur PS say about massaging?

Mine said to press down with four fingers on the top of breast, side of breast by armpit and at bottom in shower every night. It's weird how some PS say to massage and some don't!

I'm having my surgery on sept 30!! Ahh! Lol! I'm going with dr. Luque in mexicali. I enjoyed reading your review. Do you have any more after pics? I'd like to see what your PO pic looks like months after your surgery. My breasts look almost identical to yours. Except, I'm a small B cup now and am going for 410 high profile silicone gel implants. I also weigh around the same as you. I'm 5'5 and have been stuck at 170 for a couple months! VERY FRUSTRATING!!

I will be taking some new pics and updating. My boobs did not change more I think. To me they have always pretty much looked the same since surgery. I totally love them, the roundness and fullness. Ill be taking new pics and putting them up. Goodluck with your surgery, wish you all the best :)

Well I had a nightmare last night having to do with my left boob. First i remember seeing it deflated and hanging and moving all around, then finally at some point, I have the silicone implant in my hand -____- well my subconscious is not very polite, I had a TT nightmare too about a week ago, Anyways, I am really looking forward to get rid of all the dry blood around my nipples, it looks more scary than it should but all is well. PS said to rub oil in nipple so sutures start to get lose. I used neiosporin, pretty oily to me. Get shooting pains every now and then. I dont think my nipples are completely gone for sometimes I get goosebumps and definitely feel them there!

That medical bra is not as annoying anymore but definitely strangles me, oh well! I think my ladies are still about as high and round, the bra band is meant to push them down, I dont mind their fullness and how round they are on top!

Omg you boobs look awesome and are a wonderful size what profile did you go with? I have the same "deformity" and I am getting the exact same 500cc Memory Gel Over the muscle on Monday so I am 5 days away from surgery! I thought I was going to small but yours look a great size! How is the recovery going I hear over the muscle is pretty easy for us!

Thank you! I think its high to be honest i never discussed profiles with my PS depends how wide your chest is and your pre op size. Im seeing her today and ill ask her. She ended doing 520 and i like the size i dont think any bigger would fit. Recovery wise they been very good. Cant complain at all.

Man that medical bra, omg, strangles my arm pits! I asked if it can go off, they said yes, rest at night! awesome!!! I can't wait to get to enjoy them! but my TT will make it all slower, I can wait if I waited 12 years for them :) They are good!!! almost painless! Random pain here and there is normal right? It just surprise me because I have not really had any pain at all, if anything it hurts sometimes a little bit where the drains were removed
