TUBA Boob Implants 385CC Under the Muscle - Birmingham, AL

UPDATED FROM MoldedClay

My Boobs To Date

WORTH IT$3,000
Okay, my phone is working again so I took some pictures and decided to update you guys. The implant on my left has dropped really well. However, I can see from the pictures that the implant on the right has not dropped as well and is still sitting a bit high. I must start vigorously massaging the right breast and it will be fine I think.

Yes your review helped a lot!! I am 5'3 and 130 lbs so I have a small frame too (a small booty lol). I was considering 475-500cc because I do want them on the fuller/larger size. What do you think? Pre-Op I'm a 34B and I have some extra tissue to fill up since I have a 2 year old I breast fed for 2 months! How did you feel right after surgery and when were you able to manage walking around and doing little things like walking in the mall, staying out and not sleeping all day. The downtime after surgery is the only thing I'm worried about.
I think that 475-500 will be quite large for your frame. I have 385 and sometimes they feel a little too big on my frame. Right after surgery, I was sore but it was no big deal. I had a bit of constipation due to the narcotics. I was able to do my own thing and manage on my own about 5 days post op.
Thank you for your review. My doc actually RECOMMENDED tuba which blew me away. his staff said he is 'the best' at this method. Im open to it but have many concerns. please update if you have any complications. and do you think recovery was tougher, longer than had you chose another incision site. thanks again.
I love the TUBA method. I have had no complications. Recovery is actually easier for TUBA and it is much more painful if you attempt it at another incision site (i.e. the armpit). Good luck and if you need anything else, please ask. I don't always check these comments so it might be better to PM me. Good luck!
What is your current bra size?

You look great! I had a MM and used Dr Hedden as well. Love him!
Thanks!
Hello I know its been awhile but I keep looking for someone who has gotten Tuba and their results thanks so much for your pics and updates .I am 9days PA and from the beginning the right one was already low in place it was actually lower to begin with due to breastfeeding and they had gotten HUGE from A to like DD So they were saggy and tinny after deflated now Im scared cuz yours look amazing btw but I got 510 ccs Im 5"1 135 hope they aren't to big. I AM Big bone tho thick frame huge ribs Also i feel like the left is still very high and tight my areola skin when I get in the downward position is alil loose did this happen to you when Im standing you can't tell tho maybe its cuz its hasn't soften or dropped. Another question if you dont mind my right side armpit is completely numb is that normal and how long did it take for them to completely drop..

Finally Healed!

I have no more pain at all...no twinges or anything like that. I have been massaging and when my cellphone starts acting right, I will put up some new pictures. They have "dropped" more and look great. The only issue is that they don't really feel like real breasts but that is to be expected with saline. They feel more firm than real breasts. Overall, for the price I paid, I am very happy.

Wow I think they look great! They look pretty big.. Did they drop more? I'm going for 500-550cc, I'm 5'8 & 145lbs. Do you have a petite frame? I also heard about tracks in your stomach from the tubes.... Did you or can you still feel them?
Thanks. They have dropped more and when my camera stops acting up, I will post more pics. Anyway, I am about 121 and 5'4" so I do have a petite frame. I felt tracks for about the first two months. After that, they went away. I massaged them so I don't know whether the massage made the tracks go away or whether they were going to go away anyway. Good luck.
The more you massage them, the faster they will go away. I'm 7 months out. No track marks, and look very natural (even with having 600cc's)

I Must Hop on that Massaging!

I have no major problems. Sometimes I feel a twinge of pain in my boobs but I have had surgery so I guess that is to be expected. Sometimes I feel as though I went a little too big. No biggie! Breast augmentation is not a once in a lifetime thing anyway as it is well known that people often get revisions after aging or pregnancies. But for right now, I am happy. They jiggle a little bit now so that makes them seem more natural. Sometimes they look a little too high up and too rigid and square. I have to start massaging them more vigorously and more often to help them look more natural and to help them drop more. But, it is still early in the game. I have just had them for a little over one month.

Just checking in to see how you're doing and to hear if the massaging is working. Have you noticed any further dropping and fluffing? Hope you are well! We'd love an update to your review when you have a chance!

They are looking better and more natural and more settled now. As soon as my cellphone starts acting right, I will post pics!
Thanks for the review update. Glad your breasts are looking and feeling better! I have a hunch that around the 6 month mark, your implants will feel even more a part of you and more natural.
