Hi! I just updated my post. I was lucky and didn't get any stretch marks w/my first 2 BA surgeries, but I was in my 20s at the time and got 270cc's. This time I'm getting something in the 300cc range. You are young so I wouldn't worry too much about stretch marks.
I have some post pregnancy even though I'm back to my pre-baby weight. I had 10lb babies, so I was doomed to get some stretch marks even though I applied cream religiously.
Thanks for the bio oil tip. Did your PS suggest it? I'll ask mine how long I have to wait before I can apply anything. I wonder if this oil will work on my c-section incision?
I got my first implants at 25 and have been pleased with them. However, I was 5'4" and 115lbs with 270ccs. They didn't feel overwhelming for me. When I was 27 I had a deflation on the left side and freaked out at the thought of having to go through surgery again, but it was so MUCH easier the second time around.
Everything was fine until my second pregnancy at age 38. I had deflation occur on the right side, but w/my pregnancy, it wasn't very noticeable. I went for a consult 6mos after delivery and had my "good" side deflated to get a baseline for what my breasts look life after time and 2 babies.
At 25, I was single and my priorities were different. As a working mom my priorities have changed. My husband is very supportive with whatever decision I make. So, I thought I would just get the empty saline bags removed eventually.
My 2nd baby is 2.5yrs old now, walking and potty trained. I am back to my pre-baby weight, but have a bit of excess above my c-section incision. My breasts are a little saggy and asymetrical, but not bad for a 40yr old.
I went through the consult rounds again and have decided to get a replacement w/silicone and some vaser lipo on my abdomen. I'm nervous still, but have given it careful consideration over the last 2yrs.
You are so lucky you haven't had a deflation. Eventually you will need to make a decision, but there's no rush. Good luck.
