Last week I had my 6 week checkup and my PS is very pleased with my results. My right side finally dropped and looks great. I love my new breast. I now can exercise and go back to my normal routine. I have another follow up appointment next month. I am also so glad I went with Saline, they feel so natural and I can't even feel the implant at all. It feels like my own breast. I had a lot of breast tissue and had my implants placed under the muscle,my skin was already stretched out so that could be why I can't feel the implant. At least with the Saline I will know if it ruptures and not have to worry about getting an MRI done every 2 years like with Silicone. Plus it was cheaper too.
I will post a updated picture soon.

I have a similar predicament. I used to love my breast they were only a 34 b but they were full and perky. After I had my son they moved up to a C but deflaited. Also they are uneven. I am 5'7 and currently 160 but I've been losing 2 to 4 pound a week. I wanted to reward myself when I get to my goal weight and im seriously considering breast implants. I do think a larger size like a full c or a d would look good on me. I'm still in the research and selling my husband on the idea. I hate the thought of feeling like you have to pick between feeling attractive and being a mom. I thought your post were very helpful and informative, and a Great idea of what to expect. Thank you

Hi Effy!
Thanks for your post! I absolutely love my new breast and wish I would of done this a long time ago. Depending on what brand I am now wearing a 34D and think it's the perfect size. I'm only 4'11 so I was worried about going too big. The best advise I can give you is print out a picture of the size, shape you would like your breast to look like and go off of that instead of cc's or a bra size. Your Dr will use that picture during surgery to compare and make sure to achieve the same size on you. That is what I did and I got the same results as the picture I provided. Wish you the best of luck and let me know how it goes.

Hi there! I've had my implants for 1-1/2 years now and still love them. I would do if all over again. The only thing I would change is to go a little bigger. So I would say find a picture online of the size you want and give the picture to your dr. That's what I did. I think 450ccs would be perfect! Good luck and let me know if you have any more questions.

I wish I has your list of questions before my surgery!!! Not that my PS didn't do a good job but I do wish I went bigger so I wish I asked him to bring bigger implants into the OR. Still .. I'm a firm believer that whatever happens happens for a reason so I am good with what I have (still going through boob greed, not gonna lie) and thankful that I had an easy recovery and very little pain. I will tell you I was not productive at work until 1 week post op. (I was fortunate enough to work from home for 3-4 weeks after my surgery.)

4 Week Post Op - Today I had my 4 week check up. My PS said everything looks great. I still can't exercise or go swimming or lift anything because my right side is still a little swollen. It's getting better each week and dropping slowly. I have no pain at all and they feel like a part of me now. I can't feel the implant and they actually feel more real than I thought they would considering I got saline.

I went and got measured and I am a 34D.

I asked for a full C but am so glad I'm a D. I did show him pictures of the size I wanted to be before the surgery and wasn't sure what size the picture was and I look the exact same size as the picture. I think I'm the perfect size for my body frame. I'm sooo thrilled I got this done and wished I would of done it sooner.

Had my 3 week post op appointment today. Dr. gave me the okay to start massaging my breast and to keep massaging my scars 4x per day. My right side is still swollen and hasn't dropped yet. My left side is perfect! In 1-1/2 weeks I can finally stop sleeping with this surgical bra and can buy a new bra with no underwire. I can't wait! I'm not sure what my final size is.

I posted a updated picture below.
