WORTH IT
I'm 2 days post op and so far pleased with the results feeling sore and tight but happy! I went with 375cc round high profile mentor implants. I had surgery about 9:30 on Thursday morning.
Before the children I was a 32d and after breastfeeding was left completely deflated and barely a b cup. I just wanted back what I lost!

So far pleased with the results
Today is worse than yesterday, I'm experiencing lots of tightness and discomfort not so much pain it's just uncomfortable. Wasn't easy getting comfortable to sleep do hopefully be able to find a more comfortable position tonight. Iv been taking my arnica but some bruising has appeared today just on my incision site. Hoping every day it gets easier now Iv mostly lay on the sofa today but got up and walked about now again! Frozen peas are very much my friend today haha!

Were your implants under the muscle or over?

Day 3 post op
Don't know if I mentioned before but I have dual plane technique which is part under, part over the muscle. Again last night was tricky to get comfortable but I took a cushion from the sofa up to bed and would sleep for a few hours then wake and have to find a new position. My back isn't feeling great I think from my sleeping position. My boobs probably feel slightly better than yesterday morning and evenings are the worst. Very tight and heavy finding great comfort in frozen peas! My compression bra is really comfortable will post the design later. My kids are home tonight from my mums hoping each day gets better from now on. Looked at them in the mirror today and although they are very swollen and looking a little silly I cannot wait to put a bikini on. Left boob more swollen and painful than the right and find if I move too much get muscle spasms!

They look amazing so early on. Interested to see the results with the dual plane as I don't think I have seen any previously.

I was a 32d pre children post breastfeeding was left with barely a b and little breast tissue! My surgeon uses dual plane and I am really really pleased with the results so far! I just wanted natural looking breasts. What are you going for?
October 11, 2015
What's the recovery for dual plane? I havent got anything scheduled, I'm getting married next year so can't justify the money at the moment :-( I have gone.so far as to look at loans, done the rice sizers. Darent go to a consultation as can't trust myself not to sign up haha. Keen to follow your post as the recovery for under the muscle isn't practical as I teach exercise classes. Lots to think about.

I have 3 small children and am very active excercise 3/4 times a week and all high intensity! I explained all this to my surgeon and she said dual plane is most effective. I breastfed 3 children and had lost all tissue at the top you can see my before pic. My surgeon said I can go back to light cardio after 3 weeks and hopefully resume everything else at 6 weeks! Recovery so far so good! My surgeon doesn't use drains and I'm just wearing my compression bra. I'm day 3 post op today and can completely lift my hands above my head and am very mobile. I can't say as I have had any pain just discomfort the only really pain I had was when I first woke up after surgery in recovery and had a shot of morphine since then I'm pretty much off painkillers other than ibuprofen before bed. Definatly recommend it!x

Looking fantastic! I got 375 mentor moderate plus 4 days ago and am loving them!
October 11, 2015
Thanks how are you getting on recovery wise? I'm getting there swelling reducing and getting more mobile! Just the nights that's aren't comfortable
October 12, 2015
Feeling really good, off the pain killers. The most annoying part is the darn bloat right now! I drove and ran around a bit today and am feeling it now..time to relax. :-) can't wait to sleep on my side!!
October 12, 2015
You sound just like me, had mine done 10/7. Experiencing all the same things.
October 12, 2015
Are you finding the swelling is subsiding and getting a but easier now? Yesterday afternoon I all of sudden felt a whole lot easier last night wasn't as bad either I mean they really ache but getting there! Are you happy with your results?x
October 12, 2015
Hi, yes less swelling thank god, so far happy but they are uneven so hoping that's just one being more high and swollen.
October 12, 2015
You look great! I'm having mine done in a week in the U.K. and I'm worried about the recovery the most xx
October 12, 2015
So was I! What are you having? Don't worry it's much better than I thought it would be accept the morphibe straight after but I only had one day of pain killers now just take ibuprofen before bed! Do you have arnica? I got arnica 30c nelsons and started taking 3 days pre surgery and will continue until 7 days post op! Also taking solouble vitamin c and zinc daily and lots of pineapple for the bromelain!x
October 12, 2015
Agh I'm so disorganised I haven't actually got anything yet! I'm having mine done in Edinburgh. I'm getting 340cc dual plane. Iv no idea what size sports bra to get or what type.
Sounds like you're having an ok time pain wise then, that's so good to hear :) I think I'm worried about sleeping and being grumpy as I'm a side sleeper!! Xx

You will be fine I have some fab bras I'll send you the link! I can honestly say it's not as bad as I thought more uncomfortable than painful! Sleeping on your back is annoying day 2/3 the worst, but last night slept propped up on a beanbag and wasn't too bad! You will be fine! I'll post a review about my bras and the website and how to figure sizing my surgeon recommended mine and they are very comfy! Are you nervous?xx

What are your stats? Height and weight?
I'm dreaming of mentor 375 myself. Had anatomical before, and disliked them wholeheartedly.
I'm slightly apprehensive on account of potentially higher risk of rippling, mentor has got the softest gel, grade 1, but inspira's is just " slightly firmer" .
