I am almost a year post op and I just wanted to add something. The biggest question is always, should I go bigger?/Am I going too big? THE SIZE!! I just want to add from my experience. I think it all depends on your shape, size, and the size and shape of your boobs before the surgery. I have a natural tear drop shape, because of that, I do wish now after a year, I would have went a little bigger. They are nice and big, but I do not have the cleavage I expected. and still don't feel like theyre big at all. I dont know if I just have gotten used to them, but I wish I would have gone bigger. Maybe 450-500 cc.

I went yesterday for my 3 week postop :) The "massage" is crazy! Not really like a massage...its like your going to smash your boob off!! But it does feel good afterwards, its not as tight... Ive been having soreness right in between my boobs..like in my ribs. When I lift them up it feels much better! I still have 3 more weeks in a sports bra..and I hate it!! And its starting to get hot outside...the bras suck when youre sweating! Cant wait for swimsuits!!
So after my appointment, I went to Victorias Secret and got fitted...I was super suprised to find out I am a 32 DD. The D fit..but was not comfortable..so I tried on the DD and loved it! I just couldnt believe that was my size! A lot of people don't even know I had anything done.. they dont look big at all. But I am so happy! :) Will post some pics tonight, so you can see 3 weeks out :)

OMG, I wish I had found this site prior to my surgery! I had silicone implants one month ago yesterday! I have to say that I had more pain that it sounds like you had... I was pretty darn flat in the beginning as I have not had children or breast-fed. Therefore I was totally flat and I think this led to a lot of stretching of my nerves that provide feeling to my nipples. MAN!! I tell you after I started massaging, my left nipple literally felt like it was going to explode! I only had 325 ccs under the muscle, and due to not wanting to be too big (as a tall skinny girl, it just wouldn't have looked natural). Anyhow, I've also had a lot of fears around the fact that my implants have not yet 'dropped'. Have any of you had this problem? Again I think it could be due to me not having had hardly anything before, so the skin is super tight and the muscle tone is really strong. Therefore, I feel like my breasts are riiding too high. I've talked to the PS and he says this is normal.... yet prior to the surgery, he and the nurse BOTH told me that by my 2 week post op check I should have dropped. Well... it's been a month! So obviously I'm worried. But still WAY better than what I had before! I was really afraid of going too large and it screaming out "That girl got implants!" so I think I chose the righr size for me for now... but I do also feel like due to being skinny and having a narrow chest wall, my breasts certainly feel like they're bulging into my armpits more than I expected. Again, overall very happy... but I would have thought the nipple pains would have gone away by now. Getting better, but would like to hear if any of you had this experience. Thanks to all for your honesty and openness in sharing your experiences!

I am 2 months post-op and my left breast finally dropped not that long ago. It took forever it seemed. I think you'll be fine :-) I had 265cc silicone, under the muscle as well. I applied Palmer's cocoa butter all over my breasts everyday after showering - that seemed to help my skin a lot, especially with the dryness.

I have wanted a ba forever...Im 36 mom of four boys....I was scheduled for June 8..2012....after reading so many stories of women getting sick and not liking them after surgery....I decided to cancel until I was sure I wanted to do this....now Im not sure if I want to do it at all....I was so excited untill I heard the horror stories....Im 130 lbs and a 34a....anyone else experience this???
May 7, 2012
you always hear bad stories... so you need to make the decision! I am absolutely thrilled with the results! I have confidence back :) And it was only for me. My husband was perfectly content...of course, now he very content!!! I feel like I have already "dropped" I really need to post pics..i just havent had time! Sorry ladies..will try to this week ! They are very dry from stretching, so I use lotion as well all the time. I did have a lot of loose skin, so I feel like theyre just the size when I was breastfeeding,....and thats what I wanted :) So I didnt have much pain after surgery. I actually mowed the lawn 3 days after..and did a foil (I do hair) that night.

OMG... you are so fortunate. But make no mistake ladies.. I would TOTALLY do it again! And I certainly wouldn't call mine a horror story. I just have the one breast that is ever so slightly higher than the other. My nipple pain has almost totally subsided from the stretching. Now it's just the waiting game for the big drop! But I would DEFINITELY say that if you can find a good plastic surgeon, GO FOR IT GIRL!! I wish I had had the money to do it sooner... But overall I am VERY happy with the results.
May 17, 2012
one of mine is slightly higher also! But it was like that to begin with, and I could have done a "cresent lift" but I didnt want them to look fake...so I opted not to :) I am doing so good now! No pain at all, doing the "massage" twice a day. I am so happy that I finally did this!

I finally slept on my stomach!!! Yay!!! It felt weird.. I was so cautious..like I didn't want them to rupture lol! I guess I'll be getting more used to them, just still so new. I am in love though! They have settled a little and they look awesome :) No one even knows I got them. So I'm really happy with the size I chose, not so huge a lot of people don'tknow, but I definitely know! They look huge everytime I look in the mirror, im shocked! I can't wait to wear a regular bra! My incisions are kinda irritating, they hurt a little, they feel bruised. There aren't any visible bruises, that just what it feels like. It feels really weird when I bend over, like I have to hold them or something... its just so weird going from having nothing to definitely having something :) It has been very different. They're kinda hard to get used to. When I look in the mirror I can't believe its me! And I do understand what Ive read other people say about being almost depressed.. I am super happy with them and I would do it all over for sure, but it's just like any other surgery, if you don't watch it, you can get yourself down. I probably won't update untill my next postop, which is May 5th. Thanks again for all your kind words, means a lot to me :)

Congrats, those are EXACTLY the boobs I wanted!! You look fantastic! And I get what you mean about being paranoid sleeping on your belly :) I'm 5 weeks out and I still find myself flinching a bit before I turn over haha
What size did you end up with? I can't find it in your posts :)

I need to post another pic, they already look better :) not so stiff! My PS told me not to massage yet..but I want to! They feel so tight its uncomfortable.
I'm not positive what size I am... I have tried on several bras, one was 34C, its a push up, and it fits very well, then I have 32D that I Love! Theyre both Victorias Secret, but different styles. So after my next postop, I think I will go to the store and have them size me :) Sleeping still sucks! When I wake up, which is several times a night, I feel like they are so sore!! It'll get better though..im hopeful!!! ;)
