Feb. 4 Breast Augmentation 360cc's - Asheville, NC

Thank you! I do love the way they look, I think it's just strange for me to look in a mirror and see such full breast and lots of cleavage lol. Definitely not what I was used to. I wish I had taken a before picture that I could post but I didn't think about it :-( I just can't wait until like the 3 month mark when they feel like a natural part of me and I can feel free to do as I please! Especially looking forward to showing them off this summer! :D

Hi MommyTwoTimes! Thanks for sharing some info on your recovery progress with me! I love hearing from people who have had a similar procedure as mine as to how their healing process is coming along. Makes me feel better about the process and helps me to learn more about what I can expect in the next few weeks. Please keep me updated on your progress and share any helpful information you would like. Thanks :D Also, on the outer side of my left breast it feels as if the muscle is being stretched sometimes so much that it sends a burning sensation to the middle. It's like I can feel the precise borders of the muscle. I don't have that sensation on my right side. Of course, I think my right side gets worked more since I'm right-handed. Have you experienced anything similar to that?

My surgery was Feb 6 (saline 300s under muscle); from about POD3-5 I was regularly getting searing pains under my right boob, from the outer edge to about the midpoint (I'm guessing) of my incision. They still happen every now and again but not near the intensity or frequency! I never really had any trouble with the left one, just the expected tightness and soreness.

The burning sensation you are feeling is exactly what I still experience. Only in my right breast as well. From what I read the muscle used to hide the implant is taking on alot of adjustment being lifted from its natural position. Just that alone is enough to really know that obviously the healing time for sub muscular might be slightly longer. Don't know if you know as well or have been informed that the muscle is at an angle say from the fold of your armpit to the nipple. So if you do ever notice ripples or folds it will be on the outside of your breast cause the implant is not covered by the muscle there. I was informed of this by my PS.

Thanks for your input :-) I am on POD 14 and I don't feel that burning sensation hardly at all anymore. I am almost past the soreness as well. Mostly just some soreness and swelling in the morning! Hope you're getting better each day, too!

Oh wow! I didn't know that about the muscle position in relation to the implant! Helpful info :) Thanks!!

Yeah no problem. :)

Thanks! Congrats to you for your upcoming surgery! My starting size was a 34A. I always wore padded bras and would sometimes consider myself a small B. I had proportional breasts, they were actually full with a nice tear-drop shape because I haven't had any children to compromise their shape :-) I will try to find a picture to post with a bathing suit top on to give you an idea of my prior size. After talking with my PD we decided moderate profile plus would be the best implant profile for my chest size. I have a very narrow chest but I was afraid that if I went with high profile that I wouldn't get a natural look. My PS agreed and said moderate profile plus would be the next best option to get the forward projection I wanted. Feel free to ask anymore questions, I'll be happy to try and give you an answer. I know how many questions I had going through my mind before surgery lol!

I am considered a "34b" in Vs sizes but I'm sure that would be smaller in any other bra lol.. I am looking to be a 34d/32dd.. What's your height and weight? I'm 5'2" and 107 and I don't wanna look top heavy with mine :/ I love the shape of yours tho with the mod plus.. So far my ps has said HP but ill wait till my pre op to hear more about why he threw out HP at my consult lol I think mod plus would give more of the closeness (I don't want a big gap) like yours

Like yours meaning yours are close lol not having a big gap

Do you have any newer pictures?

I am 5'5" and weigh 103 lbs. That's what I was afraid of with HP because I had looked at numerous pics of before & after's with HP and didn't like the gap that seemed to come with that implant type. The mod plus are just wide enough to keep that gap from appearing! Your PS will be able to tell you whether that would happen with your body measurements though. Be sure and ask that question!

Lol I understood what you meant :D

I will post a couple new pictures tomorrow sometime. They seem to have dropped slightly. I don't know if the picture will be able to show the difference between the change but I can feel the fullness up top decreasing and distributing down a little more. Tomorrow will be day 14 post-op!

K cool thanks!! N that's good I do want a lot of upper fullness tho.. I don't mind the fake look.. Just don't want too much of a fake look ya know

I know exactly what you mean! That's what I said, I told my PS that I wanted upper fullness and not too much of a tear-drop shape. Also, I wanted it to look natural but not so much that you couldn't tell I had something done. I wanted my money's worth ya know lol. I am extremely happy with the way they turned out. They don't look ridiculous on my small frame which was one of my concerns and they give me great shape when I put my clothes on! Love them! I'm sure you will too! How many cc's were you thinking of going with? Also, another tip...take into account the breast tissue you already have because it does make a difference. I compared my result to the other 360's and mine turned out bigger because I had more breast tissue to start with.

I have no idea about CCs it's way too confusing I thought I knew I wanted or needed to have about 325-350 but then other women I've seen with my cup size got around 400ccs plus to get my goal size :/ so I'm so confused! Lol my pre op is on March 8th so I will have almost 2 weeks to find what range I want and then ill leave it up to my ps to try in sizers during the surgery and know what look I want EEK!! I have to take into account the breast tissue but I'm also going under so that's another thing I need to think about I'm afraid of going too small AND too big lol

Totally normal feelings that you're experiencing :-) I remember thinking about CC's a lot! I couldn't decide on anything until I tried on sizers, and even after that I decided to go just a little bigger than I initially planned. You will get a much better idea when you talk with your PS and try on sizers. Let me know how that goes and good luck! Until then, I think it's a great idea to google some pictures and print the ones off that have the look and size you want. That's what I did, I called it my "vision" page. Worked out great for me and my PS said it helped her to understand the size I wanted better, rather than just saying I wanted a full C/ small D cup lol.

lol I will let you know how it goes!! Ugh March 8th can't come fast enough!!! and yea I will get started on that I think I have pics of 2 looks printed already maybe 3 but one is one of his patients so thats cool lol I know he can give me the look I want!

You can look through my profile and pics :) I know 600 sounds like a lot but I am 5'11 athletic built so worked for my frame :)

Hey countrygf! Thanks! I'm loving my new beauties lol! You look great as well :-) 600cc's doesn't look as big as I had pictures- it fits your body frame well! I think I could have went bigger but I have a very small frame and didn't want the boobs to overpower my figure lol. Keep in touch throughout your recovery process!
