I am 40 years old and decided that I wanted to fill out my breasts after 2 kids. I alway had large, full breasts but they didn’t bounce back after my second child (who is 3 1/2). Stats-5’1”, 125 lbs, 34 C although probably would size smaller.
I went on two consultations and decided to book my surgery with Dr Fardo at The Swan Center in June 2019. I thought for sure I would need a lift as well, but both consultations said it wasn’t necessary.
Dr Fardo was very kind and informative, definitely made me feel comfortable and agreed with what I was looking for-fill out my breasts without looking top-heavy. He was thinking between 300-325cc because I have a petite frame, but I also wanted to make sure I didn’t go too small. 350cc felt large during my consultation, but truly was probably the size I was prior to kids-if not larger. For the record, I husband thought I should have been in the high 400s of course ????.
The day of surgery I changed my range to 300-350, but trusted Dr Fardo and just asked that he go with what looks best to him when in surgery.
I will continue to provide updates, because these were so helpful to me when I was researching.

Dr Fardo printed my wish pictures and had them in the OR. Final product was 350cc Silicone smooth round moderate plus.
I was in pain after waking up from surgery, but felt much better once I was sitting up in the car. First day went fine, no real pain, just more uncomfortable mainly in my upper and middle back.
First night of sleeping didn’t go great only because I couldn’t get comfortable, but still not really any pain.
Here is a day one picture.....

I got the ok to shower 24 hours after surgery. Here are a couple of pictures. Little bit of swelling, and my stomach is still pretty bloated.

I’m guessing I will be in the beige sports bra at least until my next post-op in 5 days. I will say that after wearing it for 5 days straight, it does feel strange to take it off to shower. I was so nervous after having in off for 10 minutes, that I was a little shaken.
Sleeping so much better, just wake up feeling a little sore. Yesterday was my first day back to work and driving was the hardest part. Definitely more sore this morning after getting out and about yesterday.
Ps(I’m not sure why my pictures are posting like they’ve been cropped).

Today I had a other follow-up appointment and get to move to a different style bra for the next 4 weeks. What a relief! It will be much easier to disguise this new bra under clothes.
Feeling pretty good. Started walking for exercise but still taking it easy. I will get the clear to step it up a bit at week 3.
Chest muscles are still a little sore, but nothing unmanageable.

Here we a few updated pictures. Start back HIIT workouts tomorrow, so I am eager to get back in shape since being out due to surgery. Implants are still a little high, so I’m hoping they drop a little more to fill out the bottom of my breast-bottom is still soft.
