SB in Seattle

Brand New Boobs - Seattle, WA

i chose a silicone implant and it was ordered pre filled at 286 cc. i'm not sure if it was a specific profile/type of silicone implant. my understanding is that the saline implants are inserted and then saline is filled in the breast.

Sure, I am posting an update tonight. He was a really great doctor, I hope your appointment goes well!

That is what I learned as well. I hope to keep the boobs healthy for the next several years.

The follow up visit went really well. It was really quick, and the doctor said everything had healed and was settling great.

My chest does feel heavier but its not uncomfortabale and they are so perky I feel comfortable without a bra on. I have noticed that my left breast is softer and more sensative than my right, and I think that may be attributed to the fact that I am left handed. More action on that side?

Thats a good question about lifting. I was told not to lift anything for 6 weeks and I tried to stay away from lifting anything very heavy for maybe the first month and even after that I didn't lift much. I did feel some pulling in some occassions like when reaching for a glass on the top shelf. I was told to stay away from the gym until my six week check up and I didn't fully follow that. I got back into the gym and doing light workouts maybe a month later. Once I got cleared after the six week check up I started working out and lifting weights again that afternoon.

Hope I was able to maybe answer your questions. Sorry for the delayed response, but I also am finally posting some new photos.

Good luck with your surgery! I'm sure everything will turn out great, perfect timing for the christmas dress!

I did read and ask about how often the implants would have to be replaced, but didn't ask the specifics on cost. I assume with medical advancements, technology, and whatnot the cost would be difficult to predict ten years down the road. I chose a silicon implant and from what the doctor told me and my research the chance of rupturing is low and saline is more likely to rupture, since there is a vulnerable spot where they fill the implant. Keeping the implants and myself healthy for the long term has been something that I have been thinking about more since the procedure and I was planning on asking more questions when I go in for my follow up appointment later this week. So I will post an update once I get some more information.

My scars are maybe about an inch and have healed nicely so far. They are covered up for the most part by the crease of my breast. My chest feels so much better now then the first week or two after surgery. All the swelling is gone and I have been regaining sensation. A couple weeks ago I didn't have sensation on the inside of my right breast, but recently it has been coming back. My nipples are super sensitive, almost annoyingly sensitive. I feel like the implant has settled in and nerves are still healing.
