I've been very lucky to cross by this site, it has helped me tremendously. So today, I've decided to post my recent experience in hopes to do the same for others. My first BA was July 2015, had 650cc silicone high profile from mentor over the muscles. I was originally a size 36c and that brought me to 36DDD. LOVED THEM!!! In August I had a car accident, and the seat belt messed up my left breast, so I had to go in for removal, replacement and repair. Since this needed to be done, I decided to also get a lift!
Question was.... what size can I fit now? I love my DDD, but with lifts, your chest tends to accommodate a smaller implant than before. So I left my fate in the hands of my Dr. Stephen Miller.
My surgery was today, not gonna lie, I woke up IN PAIN! Begging for more pain meds... 3 hours post surgery I was better, and have been since. Itself now 11pm!
So my Dr found that the "ultra high profile" are smaller in dimension (2cm+) and bigger in projection, so not only he managed to keep my 650cc, but he gave me more projection!!!! I'm sure I'll love them!!!!

It was a good night overall, kept waking up every hour or so, pain under control with meds.
Saw my doctor this morning and being that I had surgery less than 24hs ago, I'm very happy so far. The lift of course comes with all those stitches that are not so pleasant, but over time they will get better!

Slept a little less, the day of surgery, 1st and 2nd day post-op, I think I pretty much slept all day!
I was able to get up more, go downstairs and have breakfast and lunch with my family and got back in bed, read a bit, watched TV, etc. Overall feeling much better, did not take any pain meds, and my breast seem to be looking better as well... still asking myself if they will be as big as before...!!!!

I had a great day, no need for pain meds, maybe overdid it a bit during the morning so I just relaxed the rest of the day. 1 thing tho.... my incisions itch like CRAZY!!!! Don't know what to do anymore!!!!!!!! But I'm very happy so far with my results!!!!

Yesterday I got some of the stitches removed!!! Dr Miller said everything looked perfect and told me not a millimeter bigger implant would fit me LOL... he knows me so well, he covered my "I want them bigger speech". I was not planning on changing my implants at all, this surgery was not in my mind at all until I noticed the deformity on my left breast due to my car accident, so of course if I was going to have to remove/repair/replace, I was going to take advantage of being in that OR!
Anyways, for some reason since half the stitches are out, I feel like everything is going to open up, being out of the house for 3 hours was also exhausting. Good news is... I measured myself yesterday and I haven't lost my DDD (I know it's still early but it gives me some relief). He also said as my implants settle more (my skin on the lower pole is as stretched and hard as it can possibly be) my nipples will go up. I did already notice the difference between them, but I can't expect perfection, I'm still happy, love the outcome and am relieved this fuc**** accident did not take also my boobs away from me!

I've been wanting to update regularly but unfortunately I got sick.... sneezing, coughing + stitches, is not a great combination. I was doing great until Saturday... oh well, I just wanted to upload a pic to not stop the progress...

We all go crazy when it comes to "profiles", thought this might actually help... I happen to still have pics with HP from my 1st surgery... got to say, I'm loving them UHP!!!!

Can't believe it's been 2 weeks!!! Feeling great, no much change, just hope my nipples get aligned since 1 is slightly lower, but so far loving them! Scars are healing beautifully, I think he did an amazing job!!!!

I saw my Dr. today to remove the rest of the stitches... let me just say for the ones that did a lift... take something with you for pain cause that suit hurts like a [RS bleep]!!!!!!!!!! Terrible the burning pain... and because I can't just have something run smoothly, I noticed my wound opened when I got home! I just took a pain killer and got in bed... I'm done for today, just hope this heals and it does FAST!!!! Note to all "let the scabs fall on their own" I think my Dr. removed the one I had where the wound opened up...!
