This Is a review on the 2nd of two surgeries I've scheduled. This is for implants and making my thighs match the rest of me. I will have saline implants under muscle, transaxillary incision. 36B to be full 36D with natural look. I am getting water lipo of inner & outer thigh and knees to balance look

All the staff at Athenix, especially Elle, my patient coordinator, are the best. They call for reminders, they call back right way and they made special effort to order two sizes when I wasn't sure on size. Dr. Precht took it from there to get my fill levels right and even me out. So far, I am thrilled with the results.

Wow, will you be recovered enough from your recent tummy tuck for your next procedure? I can't imagine doing them all at once though. Do you know about how many cc's you'll need to get from your B cup to a natural D cup? Thank you for your continued sharing on RealSelf. Looking forward to your updates!

I'm not sure how many ccs I will need but go in next Wednesday to try on cup sizes and discuss with my dr. I am super nervous but I do feel pretty good at this point post tummy tuck. I still have some swelling my hips but my tummy is already starting to come back to life and not be so numb. I strarted elypical at the gym and have been able to grocery shop and carry several bags inside the house. I think it is because I took it so easy for the first 3 weeks.

Let us know how the next appointment goes. Be sure to share some wish boob photos with your PS. If you have time, we'd love to see some photos on this review like you did on your tummy tuck review. Take care!

So, I wanted to post some wish photos to get some feedback on if you all think that my wish photos look natural and that based on my current size and shape. Two are saline one is silicone. I will be getting saline, under muscle, through armpit. I am looking forward to your feedback. I have had a tendency for cysts in my left breast that they have had under observation for two or three years now. I thought about doing the fat transfer but the PS office recommended against it as it could cause more issues. If anyone else has had this and got implants, I would be grateful to hear about your experience. This is the thing that has me most nervous about my transition.

Hi Iris, thanks for posting on my review. I had a great time going through your review; I love your easy date to remember ;). Thank you for mentioning about Dr. Ted Eisinberg, as I bought his book and read it over the past two days. It was humorous, put my mind at ease about so many questions and I feel ready to see my PS on the 19th. Thank you! I am excited to follow your journey...

I don't think you need a lift . Are you going with saline due to your cist ? I had saline and if I could start over I would have gotten gel the first time . I liked the saline but the gel is so much better . I have had 2 breast revisions and I got gel with my last one . I love  my knew boobies !

My PS only does saline and do.to sensitive skin that has issue wit latex and glues and the like I figure that it would be my best option in case my body rejects them for some reason. Did you go behind the muscle?

Two fold, the cysts and my sensative skin. I tried to have a BB ring, stud,etc, tried all different types of material and it just wouldn't heal. I am fearful I may have the same issue with implants and thought if I do, the saline would be easier to remove.

That's a good reason . Did you use salt water on your BB ring ?

I followed you to this review. I'm getting the mini tt and abdominal lip as well as a ba redo. Going from 450cc to 350cc with a lift this time. I know I'll be happy with the 350cc. I'm just too big and want something smaller. I go in on sept. 26th. We will have to console one another being a day apart. I'm gonna post everything to a mommy makeover review so you can follow me there if you want.

Ana, my review is finall up! I posted a new review for my new boobies and abs. If your interested in seeing what a vagina lip looks like under your armpit check out my before photo. I'm looking forward to my new boobs, armpits and stomach. Review is: I don't want to have to post in so many places so I will post the tummy tuck portion of my upcoming procedure under mommy makeovers. Cuz I have to update on the boobies too and I know I'll be tired. So one review will have updates on the 3 procedures I'm having done 9/26/13 Review is: Mommy Makeover Part 2 - Perkier Boobs and Flatter Tummy Coming Next Week! - Lubbock, TX

Hi Great2BMe, I will check it out tonight. I have been busy and have a follow-up appointment tomorrow since I didn't ask all the right questions and confirm that we are going with the 500cc that we talked about. I got really nervous after researching and seeing so many talk about this being too big for a 5'3" frame, so we are going to look at it again. More later.

It all depends on how wide your chest area is. The wider you are the larger you will need. I'm 5'4" and my chest area is wider than most 5'3 or 5'4 girls so I could carry more implant. 450cc were fine another 50cc wouldn't make that much difference. It also depends on how much actual breast tissue you have. The more natural breast tissue you have would equate to smaller implants. Everyone is different.
