Hello ladies :) I'm so glad to have found this...

Hello ladies :) I'm so glad to have found this site! I have wanted a boob job since I was 16 and stopped growing from a 34A cup! Now I am 37 and have had five babies including a set of twins and have nursed them all! Now I'm deflated and a 34AA (still wearing 34A's though :-/ Needless to say, I'm ready to do something for myself now ;) I am hoping to achieve a full D cup.

I have seen my surgeon and am definitely going with the silicone gummy bear mentors. Now for the cc's decision! I am thinking 450cc's. Doc will be inserting partial under muscles.

I am 5ft 7in and weigh 138lbs. Muscular and fit and active. Any thoughts or help with this would be awesome! It is so confusing. Oh and also doc says surgery will likely happen early Jan! Plus I'm on a cancellation list so anytime!

Going with 425cc's silicone gummy bear mentor mod...

Going with 425cc's silicone gummy bear mentor mod plus. I wanted 450cc but I understand the bigger you go, the higher the risk! So for the sake of lessening the rusk of complications....it's a no brainier for me!

Feeling nervous about size choice! Something keeps telling me to go 450cc to get to a D cup. My PS says 425cc. Based on lowering the risks of skin getting less wear and tear over time. I just don't want to compromise fullness...hmmm

So I found out that I'm a 36 band boardering on 34...

So I found out that I'm a 36 band boardering on 34. Apparently I knew more about size when I was a teenager! Lol Somewhere along the line I discovered I could wear a B cup if I wore a 34 band :-/ I guess it made me feel better when bra shopping! Reality has it though, that I'm really still an A cup with a 36 band...Now I'm concerned about achieving my small D cup with 425cc mod plus silicones :( I wonder if it's at all possible? Any thoughts ladies? I would love to get 475cc but my ps thinks that would not be a good idea with my skin :-/ I know I could pull the size off though. My hips are 35 inches waist 26. I am athletic with a flat tummy. So pleased to say this after giving birth to five babies!!! Including my twins!!! I guess I have good genetics. Just not for boobs. I must say though....after nursing ALL of them and two of them at the same time, my chest does not look THAT bad. Just dealing with skin on boobs from stretching. I did get stretch marks in my boobs as a result but no where else! Go figure?! Wishing all you ladies speedy recoveries and I will be glad when I get to the other side of my journey...Jan 29th is my big day and my nerves tell me it should be sooner :-/

Lol this is so ridiculous! I saw my PS, for one...

Lol this is so ridiculous! I saw my PS, for one last visit before my surgery, and she said, " no, you are a 34 band!" Apparently there are several ways of figuring this out. Some band size calculators say I'm a 32...sigh. Anyhow, whether I'm 36, 34, or 32. One thing is for certain, I will no longer be an A cup soon!!! My PS is going to try with sizers the 475cc and 450cc before settling on 425cc's. I'm happy about this. Apparently though, my breast mounds sit "high" so she has to lower my creases :-/ Not thrilled about that. Has anyone else dealt with that?

Time is now whizzing by!!! I am starting to get...

Time is now whizzing by!!! I am starting to get really excited :) I just hope the size will be okay. I have to trust my communication with my PS and her interpretation I guess. That is somewhat nerve wreaking. I can't understand why 475cc might not work for me when I see other woman measuring smaller and getting that size? PS is going to try to do 475cc and work her way down to 450cc then 425cc. Whichever fits best. I want the 475cc!!!! I understand the general consensus from all of you is, "I wish I went bigger!!!" Anyhow, I did ask her NOT to interfere with my natural crease line. I just don't feel comfortable about changing that. Hence the "sizers" in the operating room. Does anyone have anything to say about that? Or any of this? Thanks ladies :) It's been great visiting this site! I have really appreciated the knowledge I've gained! With you all speedy recoveries and some good rest tonight!

Well ladies, the countdown is truly on for me now!...

Well ladies, the countdown is truly on for me now! I have been in a back spasm that radiates to my neck for this past week and it hasn't let up. My husband says it's the stress of thinking about the surgery. I don't know but it has been so painful. I thought I had pulled a muscle working out....who knows! But I have had a whole lot of inflammation in my upper back shoulder muscle and its made me concerned that I will come out of my BA lopsided....ahhhhh! Anyhow, I'm looking forward to being "put out" so I can escape this miserable pain. I don't think the BA pain could come close or certainly not top it. Crazy timing though...Aside from that...I am really really excited. I admit I will miss my own chest as it has nurtured and fed all five of my babies!!! However, it shows :-/ So I'm ready to have my perky self back with some added padding ;) without wearing pads!!!! Ha what a concept :) I love it!!!! Cheers ladies...thanks for following my reviews! I'm enjoying all of yours...

Help ladies :) Alll has gone so smooth...I feel ver doped writing this! Lol But it's done!!!! My PS placed 480cc Ulta High profile mentor gel (silicone gummy bears). I'm thrilled with what I see!!!!Just gotta drop, soften Nd fluff ;) I am posted a photo for you all. It's taken 7 hours past the surgery, just now :) Much love and happy healing friends

Ok ladies, I just need to hear how much you all...

Ok ladies, I just need to hear how much you all swelled up in your boobies? I am swollen so bad....uniboob!!!! I feel like they are gonna explode. When does this subside? :((( I feel like such a whiner but I have five children to take care of and I'm really hurting. Please tell me the swelling goes away soon. I just had my surgery yesterday morning. I got 480cc's Ultra High Profile silicone mentor gel (gummies). Is is reasonable to say you can swell a whole cup size up? Thanks ladies, for your response...love you all and wish you happy surgeries and happy healing and happy boobies ;)

Hello ladies! Checking in quickly as I'm trying to...

Hello ladies! Checking in quickly as I'm trying to rest more now...
I believe I have more swelling than normal because there was a mix up with my post surgical bra...PS said they measured me for one and they supply it but after my surgery the nurse asked me for it and....ya...anyhow I explained what I was told...somewhere along the line it got overlooked and I was wearing nothing!!!!!! Nothing while shopping on day ONE for a post surgical bra!!!! The nurse was so concerned she gave me one from another PS but it wasn't big enough :( That made me worse. Three stores later, at different ends if town, I found one. I'm still recovering. Every bump and step I took was excruciating and I have a HIGH pain tolerance!!!! My natural crease line was changed too so I believe the bra support was very important. I've posted two pics of day 2. I know I will love my boobies once they recover ;) Thanks for reading and sharing ladies! Oh and when did you all start to feel that your boobs were real to the touch. Right now they feel like rocks!!! I have Silicone gel (gummies) mentor 480cc's ultra high profiles.
Xx

P.S. I think my size after swelling and before...

P.S. I think my size after swelling and before dropping and fluffing will be a 34DD. Right now I'm wearing a 36DD because of swelling so I've subtracted a cup (1 cup worth of swelling) from that (36D) and converted it to a 34 band. 36D equals a 34DD. Hopefully this makes sense lol!

Well ladies, I'm concerned because I had sent...

Well ladies, I'm concerned because I had sent photos to my PS about my sternum swelling and a stretch mark appearing on it and she said I need to see you right away!!!
:( I'm scared and second guessing....what have I done! I have to drive 3 hours to get to her and get last min care for my FIVE kids... I hope my body is not rejecting these...just sharing. Here I go...

Sorry I've taken so long to get back and thank you...

Sorry I've taken so long to get back and thank you ALL for your heart felt concern and well wishes/prayers <3 I'm ok!!! My PS said I was ok and she just confirmed this in person for my nerves!!! Here I thought she saw something concerning!!! Wheww what an emotional roller coaster...She actually told me she was very pleased with the way my skin handled the volume and that she was surprised! Yayyyy! Honestly, I was imagining the worst. I wish I didn't scare myself and everyone else. Anyhow....I am softening a little today :) I actually feel my own breast tissue! I have also had a sensation in my nipples that feels like a "milk letdown" ...I know all you mothers that have nursed would know that feeling. It's a strong inner tingle. They still feel numb on the outside but they harden when I stimulate them! Strange and wonderful because I know that means they are coming back :)) Admittedly, that was a fear I grappled with before signing off on the surgery risks. I am also feeling inner rumbling...implants settling in I guess. The tightness feels like a being engorged with milk. The tightness in my sternum feels like a burning tearing sensation. I feel it has let up this morning!!! Yayyy!!!! Anyhow all you lovely ladies. I hope you feel just as beautiful on the outside as you are on the inside ;) Much love and well wishes for speedy recoveries and upcoming surgeries!!! I will be posting more pics soon and can't wait to find a minute to check all your reviews and new pics ;) My kids are all keeping me very engaged....but I am resting. Somewhat ;)

By the way ladies....I forgot to mention I had my first BM yesterday!!! Was so nice not to be constipated anymore. Seeing as we're all sharing...lol It is part if the journey...
Do any of you know when cleavage starts to form? Also after you dropped and softened, did you go up or down a size?i had my first shower and I feel human again ;)

The shae butter really helps with the tightness!...

The shae butter really helps with the tightness! My PS wants me to wait a week before doing any massage. I still have to wear my sports bra 24/7...it's post op day 5 today...getting there!!!!

I'm liking the size better in the look of the first photo standing straight on but I'm afraid they are a whole lot bigger! You can see in the last two picks. Ladies...don't do what I did and full your salt craving post op! Oh boy I'm paying for yesterday!!! Not good for recovery.

Well, now I just need to do a spray tan and summer can come!!! Also my boobies need to "fluff" (shrink a tad). I'd do this again in a heartbeat so if you're on the fence....
Xx

So my PS informed me my progress was huge!!! I am dropped and fluffed! Still get morning boob and feel tight where my creases were adjusted and stitched. All is good! I am proud to say I can wear a CK bra without underwire or padding!!!! :))) Yayyyy!!!!! Happy boobie heaven and healing all :) Oh ya and PS says I will stay this size because if that! 34DD...

Ok ladies...just need to report that over the past couple days I have felt an extreme heaviness and as of today they got softer. I do believe the changes are almost complete for the next little while...time will tell but I'm def a 34DD in most brands. Scary size for me anyway but I remember it is the look/shape and not the size that matters. When I look at someone, I personally notice the overall...not a cup size. I think we are all rocking it!!! For all of you who are pre surgery...it really has had an amazingly powerful impact on me, for the positive :))) I will post more pics of my latest progression later today..

Hello ladies....Ifor all you post op ladies, I was...

Hello ladies....Ifor all you post op ladies, I was just wondering when your discomfort let up. Aches, pains, tightness and nipple sensitivities. I just want to feel literally COMPLETELY normal again!!!! I had my surgery Jan 29th....I'm probably getting impatient.

Well sweet ladies...I have taken a few steps...

Well sweet ladies...I have taken a few steps backwards with my recovery :( Incisions are totally healed...thank gawd. But my pain is not in a good place. According to my PS, this is a direct result of using pec muscles! Who knew? I honestly thought I've been taking it easy :( It's hard to know where to draw the line!!! Any of you post op ladies relate to this?? It's very discouraging. This too shall pass....More pics to follow and I will include incision pics. I have used NOTHING on them and they have healed beautifully. They are fading more and more everyday!!! Yayyyy for good news :)) this is where I wanna focus. I'm not gonna lie thoug....the pain has come back ten fold. My advice to all you pre op ladies.....take it easy for S long while and don't be fooled when you feel better. I was pain free and slid backwards fast and this is where it has brought me now at three weeks post op....
Xoxo

Well ALL but one of my pics got erased while I was trying to post incision pics :((( I messaged the co-ordinator. Sorry for the confusion with my update of new pics.....crazy!

Phewwww.....I'm still dealing with pain!!!! I was...

Phewwww.....I'm still dealing with pain!!!! I was four weeks post op today. Sternum/inside boob pain interferes with my energy levels. In my opinion this procedure is not for the woman who can't handle discomfort. Expect it. I'm greatful that I at least have a high pain tolerance!!! If you have a low pain tolerance and are an impatient person....I highly suggest you think long and hard about going ahead with a BA. It is a huge commitment. Huge.

Ok ladies....I'm feeling better. Pain is under control with Tramadol once again. Here's hoping I won't feel that again. Please....if you have children and you are getting this procedure.....GET HELP!!!! I posted a 4.5 week picture. Right now my nipples are pretty much at attention because they are sensitive. You can literally see the milk ducks even though its not from milk...lol. They are "acting" engorged. No swelling left though. Also it look (in the picture) like one is higher...it must be the way I had my arms or the angle I was standing because they are even! AND...I do love them!!!

I have a question for all you post op ladies....my hubby was never a boob man so I knew this was never thrilling for him (as it is for me) but have any of you experienced your partner acting like they don't like the "new girls"?? I'm getting some vibes that are negative from my husband!!! He has not said anything but when I ask him he just laughs and says, "no!" But he really doesn't seem to notice them!!! I know he was never a boob man but.....? Any thoughts on this? Anyone?

Pre-op phase I wondered how real they could actually look. Especially while in positions other than standing. Well, here I am post op week five and I've taken some pics to answer this question for YOU!!! Xoxo

Hello lovely ladies :) I have not been on here...

Hello lovely ladies :) I have not been on here much as my email does not notify me of any comments anymore :( The co-ordinator, Angie, has not got it figured out as of yet. Every time I change my email notifications to send, it goes back to "none"!!! Anyhow, I will be posting a ten week post op tomorrow but I believe they still look the same ;) 34DD...go figure?!! Lol I love them though!!! Happy healing/surgeries all :)

P.S. I should have mentioned that at week 8 post...

P.S. I should have mentioned that at week 8 post op, I returned to bootcamp which is a high impact exercise! Prior to my surgery, I was doing 50 real push ups. Now I am doing 50 push ups and half of them are real, the other half are off the knee. I suspect this will be a gradual progression and in no time I will be back to where I left off! I did go under the muscle, so I am very pleased to be able to say this!!! It does feel funny while doing them though. It doesn't hurt. It just feels weird. I'm sure this feeling will let up in time...eventually I probably won't notice. Oh and as far as running goes...get a very high impact support bra. No issues ;) !!!! Yayyyyy!

Hello ladies :) I just came from LaSenza and had...

Hello ladies :) I just came from LaSenza and had some bra luck! They had 34DD's and I didn't know it. I suppose that is because I wasn't given the go ahead for a proper underwire bra until now! I am very pleased :))) Still no regrets. Happy boobie land to you all!!! Xx P.S. I've posted new pics.
Great review?

Lima you look fabulous. Perfect size really gorgeous x
Limaboro 17 May 2013
Thank-you :)) I just came from your pics and likewise woman! Isn't it so nice to be on the other side and healed too?!!
odnew 17 May 2013
Omg Your boobs look good! I got 480cc UHP too on may 3.. They still have not dropped yet :(.. I started off with b cup and no kids maybe that's why.. I'm hoping to be a d size or DD (boob greed) . It's two weeks already and they're still swollen and haven't dropped yet. I hope they get a little bigger once they drop, did yours?
Limaboro 17 May 2013
Thank-you :)) Congrats on your new girls! I'd love to see some pics!!! Dropping can and usually does take a long time. I was an odd situation because my PS lowered my crease lines (I think that meant they had less dropping to do?). It's not to many people that get UHP and in 480cc like me so I would be interested to follow you! Are you the similar height as me? I'm 5'7" ....Also mine did look bigger as they softened. My husband thinks they got bigger too. I'm not sure. Definitely though, they are so much better dropped and softened ;)
odnew 17 May 2013
Yay! Def can't wait until they drop. I dont really know how to use this website yet. I just signed up to comment on your photo LOl. I can email you some photos. :) oh and I'm 5'4.. I was stuck between uhp 535cc or 480cc bc 535cc was the next size up for mentor sillicone gel..but I was afraid that might be too big.. I had to go with uhp cuz my bwd is 12. The biggest I can go in HP is 400cc. The doctor said he thinks 480cc would be proportionate with my petite body. But I wished I went with 535cc now because you can hide them easily with clothes. They look big when you're naked or in a bikini but a lot smaller under shirts.. Really hoping it gets bigger once it drops and fluffs. :)
Limaboro 17 May 2013
Oh I think that size should be just right for you! My breast width was in the same range as yours. Hence the UHP. I too, wanted the size ;) Seriously, it just gets better! I would love if you can email pics. The sight is pretty user friendly. I know other woman would really appreciate this reference too. I feel honored that you signed on to comment on my profile :)) Keep me posted!
ThatGirl8 16 May 2013
oh wow they look awesome! and thats so amazing you can wear real proper bras now!!! 34dd holy moly lol =)
Limaboro 16 May 2013
Thank-you, ThatGirl :) You look awesome too! I will check your profile further as I find more time to say hi again to contacts in here. I've been out of the loop for a bit with some sad dealings. Nothing to do with my surgery. Family news. Anyhow....life throws ya for loops like that I guess. Back to the subject though. I was aiming for a D cup. I think I have gotten use to the DD but it was somewhat surprising to hear that size :-0 I remind myself, it is how they look and not what size they are ;) Cheers!
SweetAmy0787 16 May 2013
Im so happy for you! You look amazing and sooo sexy girl! I actually was wondering what happened to you, because its been a while I dont see u comenting on my profile. I cant wait to be there and feel my girls soft enough so I can squish the hell out of them without feeling pain. On monday I will see my ps so they can teach me my messages tecqniques. But Im very happy with my results and they look bigger then what I expected and Im loving it. I hope they stay big! :) im glad to see u back and hope to hear from u again. Xoxo
Limaboro 16 May 2013
Hello SweetAmy...I'm sorry you haven't heard from me. I didn't forget anyone in here. I have had some BIG family trauma (sad news with parents) but I'm slowly coming around again. Congrats on finally getting your boobies!!! They look fantastic :) I will check your profile further when I have a bit more time. Just trying to catch up with everyone here. Big hugs
SweetAmy0787 17 May 2013
Oohh Hun!!! Im sorry to hear that u going through a hard moment but thats part of life sweety. You especially you know I been through hell and back to get here today to be able to get my BA! Also like 2 weeks before my BA a old girl friend from high school passed away because of her surgery went wrong in her second section injecting her ass to make it bigger and they killed her. It was very sad she was just 27 yrs old and left 2 beautiful little girls and all the fam n friends heart broken. That made me think for a moment that I might of been a signal for me tO not go through my BA. But after all the thinking hun I said to my self, this is diferent Im going to a plastic surgeon that is board certified n I been wanting this all my life n God loves me he will protect me! I prayed everyday n I keep praying, I will keep u in my prayers dear! You will go through this everything is temporary!!! I love you girl I will be here fOr you whenever u need me! Mu@@@@@@ xoxo
Limaboro 17 May 2013
THank-you for your kind words sweetie. I'm so sorry to hear about your friend. That is tragic. Hugs returned
Paisley73 15 May 2013
So glad that you are doing so well and you look great! I can't wait to feel more myself and for the swelling to go down.
Limaboro 15 May 2013
Thank-you! The swelling WILL go down...hang in there. You have a great result :)
ThatGirl8 27 Apr 2013
Wow your scars are healing so nicely! You look fantastic! And man you look better then me and I had no kids lol. Keep up the healing!!! My surgery is may 1 ekkk!
Limaboro 17 May 2013
Thank-you :)) So do you!!! Congrats!!! I hope you are feeling better.
FLsungirl79 27 Apr 2013
Hi Limaboro. I read your review just the other day and looked at your pics and I think your breasts look absolutely fantastic! I was looking at sexy49's XHP's and I saw a comment that you had made about also having XHP's and I had to check yours out too:) I was feeling really good about the extra highs until I asked a question to the docs on here about whether they would give me a "beautiful" result and got some alarming responses. One doc actually used the word "deformed." WOW, I wasn't really expecting that! I really want large attractive breasts (not really looking for "natural" just beautiful and symmetric looking) as I am afraid of low hanging matronly looking breasts more than high and perky breasts. The largest I can go is 360 CCs, and I really just disagree with some of the docs comments that this is "large for my size." The other day, I found another woman on here who's 4" shorter and 2 lbs lighter who has 450ccs XHP and she looks fantastic too~ not at all "too large". Anyway, I ok'd my doc to use the 320's (his preference) if he thinks they will fit better after using sizers in the OR, but I think I am going to take that option out of the equation because I just think I'll be disappointed with that size once they are under the muscle (and I get the feeling my PS tends to favor the more modest). I have become pretty attached to my 350cc rice sizers and I think that even the 360's will look smaller once they're in. I cannot stop thinking about this, it is keeping me awake at night, lol! I don't understand why the docs think this will make me look deformed when I have seen other girls like you who have attractive perfect looking breasts, using larger XHP's!? I should have never asked the question because it just took some of my joy away and clouded up my judgement. Anyway, sorry for the rambling but as Im sure you remember, it really helps to have ladies to talk with that are on the other side, enjoying their beautiful, perfect new breasts. Thank you for keeping up with all of us who are still waiting! XO
Limaboro 29 Apr 2013
Thank-you! I feel fantastic ;) No worries in the rambling...that is what this site is for. Getting it all out right?! Lol All I have to say is go with your gut and make certain you trust your PS and also your communication with him/her. Use pictures of likes and dislikes. It will really help. Cheers!
sahmiam 22 Apr 2013
I know right maybaby? You have a friggin killer bod....then u throw salt on my wounds by mentioning that body gave held and birthed five kids? Go go girl!!!!!
Limaboro 24 Apr 2013
Awwww thank-you....you have a great bod too girl!!! Nice results...your gonna love them ;) xo
maybaby517 22 Apr 2013
Your boobies look fabulous and not to mention your killer body after 5 kids WOOOOW is all I can say!!!!
Limaboro 24 Apr 2013
Congrats on your decision! You will look great ;) Thank-you for the wonderful compliment! Xo
piper6207 20 Apr 2013
You look amazing!!! I've been wanting to find some taller ladies to compare to (you're not quite as tall as me).. but, you're thin and you & I seem to have a similiar build. Kind of wish I would have gone w/ the 475 HP I tried on during my pre op appt. but my best friend told me to trust my first instinct and stick w/ the 397's. So, you don't feel like you lost much in size once everything settled? I've enjoyed reading your story. thanks for sharing.
Limaboro 24 Apr 2013
Thank-you Piper :) Instinct is always best...good news...they actually get bigger when they settle. Or feel bigger anyways. I think it comes with getting softer!? This is at least my observation. I'm glad you enjoyed my review. Ditto! You got a great result :)
Jilly.Bean 9 Apr 2013
I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and I tried to do some push ups, modified as well as regular and a little light yoga at home. I just wanted to test the waters. It felt very strange. Like a weakness or wobbliness in my chest almost. I didnt like it at all. Was that how you felt?
