37 Year Old Mom of Two Can't Decide Between Mentor and Natrelle Implants

I'm a 37 year old mom of two who truly wants breast augmentation surgery. I've found my doctor but can't decide between Mentor and Natrelle implants. My surgeon has recommended Nataralle but all the videos and picts of the ones I like are Mentor. She says the Natrelle are basically more full. I'm worried this will make them not be as soft and less natural looking. Anyone seen any videos that show how soft the Natrelles are after 3-4 months?

Finally took the plunge and decided to book the surgery. Interviewed several Drs and decided on Dr. Baron. She listened to me and even had me come back for a second consultation because I had more questions and was so unsure. Every other surgeon assumed they knew what I wanted and she asked first and then gave me my options. She even explained everything to my husband (he was not on board initially). Anyways we are going with the Allergan Natrelle 410 Shaped Gel. I haven’t completely decided on size yet but thinking 400-425ccs. I’m a little nervous because they are considered firmer but I really want a natural feel. Since I have borderline ptosis (sagging), Dr. Baron says this is the route she would go. I have been searching high and low for photos but there just aren’t that many posted for them. Anyway my surgery isn’t until November so I’ll be anxiously awaiting!

I arrived at the Surgery Center at 6:30, checked in and was taken back in no time. I was weighed, gave a urine sample, and was given a cocktail of antibiotics and non-narcotic pain meds (Celebrex, Gabapentin). I had 6 pills total but those are the names that I remember. The anesthesiologist was super nice, he came in and spoke with me, my Dr. came and marked me up and I was right on schedule for an 8am surgery. They walked me back, gave me something to relax and that's all I remember. When I woke up, I wasn't in any pain... a little disoriented but no pain. My chest did feel heavier like when you're nursing and the baby sleeps through the night and you are too tired to get up and pump so you feel full the next morning. My Dr asked that I trust her with size. She wanted to sit me up and see which looked best and I was informed that she went with the 405ccs during my debrief. She did a dual plane 3 procedure submusclar. She said nipple placement was great and everything went well. I ate a salad and went to sleep as soon as I got home. Woke up and watched Netflix with the hubby. I took my pain pills every 4 hours as advised but really wasn't experiencing any pain. I did have too pee a lot during the night and could only sleep in 2 hour increments. I assume that was because of all of the IV fluids. The next night was much better.

Today is day 2 and I still feel good. I haven't removed my surgical bra, but I went to church today and brunch with the family. I crashed when I came home but feel great. I can lift my arms above my head, dress myself, and get in and out of bed with no pain and very little discomfort. I feel so good that I'm afraid that I may over do it. I'm not taking the pain pills anymore and took a Mag07 to help me go, because the constipation is real and probably the most uncomfortable part for me. I took a peek at my breasts and they look great! It's so funny, because I was so worried about going too big and I now wonder if I went big enough lol. I always said that I'd rather wish they were bigger than to wish they were smaller though, so I'm happy with the decision.

More updates to come...stay tuned
