Breast Augmentation - I would do it all over again!

I Would Do It All Over Again!

WORTH IT$3,500
I am a 38yr old mother of 3 boys: 17yrs, 11yrs and an 11 month old baby. After having babies, breastfeeding, loosing and gaining weight, my body looks so disgusting! I’m 138lbs of flabby baby fat. My breasts are deflated and depressing looking! So I finally decided that I wanted to get breast implants. I did research on-line and wanted to find a reputable 5-star plastic surgeon. I read up on Dr. Lawrence Chang, viewed his work on his webpage and compared other surgeons. I was absolutely satisfied with choosing Dr. Chang, he was very personable, he listened to me concerns, good bedside manners but best of all, my breast look AMAZING!! Goodbye deflated boobs! I went with 300CCs because I wanted a more natural look. I definitely didn’t want any anyone knowing I got breast implants. My family doesn’t even know! So yes, 300ccs was perfect because I went from 34A/B to 36 full C. Thank you Dr. Chang, you are the best!!

Your results are amazing! You look great! How long did it take for your implants to settle? Did you have a lift as well? It’s been 6 weeks for me and implants are still high and have not filled out lower breast pole. It feels like my breast tissue is hanging off implant and the actual implant still high.

Thank you!! I absolutely love them. They eventually dropped after about a month. No, no lift. Dr. Chang said I didn’t need one. As you can see in my photo, my nipples are like high beams now lol. What CCs did you go with? How is your pain level?

Your breasts look amazing!! My breasts looked similar preop. I was a 34 small b cup before got 300 cc silicone gels under muscle implants. Went to a good plastic surgeon. But it’s been 6 weeks and nipples still low and implant high not dropping into lower pole of breast. I still have some discomfort but much better. Fingers crossed they drop down.

Thanks, I kind of wish I would have went with 325CCS but I was so paranoid about being obvious. Are you happy with your new boobs? Do you have a photo posted of them on this website?

Yeah I kinda wish I got 350 cc. I am almost regretting not getting a lift in my case bc implant looks weird in relation to breast . My breast tissue and nipple are too low. I tried posting my pics and concerns and RealSelf team replied back and said they would not post and I should ask my PS my question. It was odd bc I’ve seen some crazy posts on here

Hmmm, that’s odd that they didn’t allow you to post your review! Bummer, I am curious now to see how your breast augmentation turned out. So I take it you’re not happy with your surgery. Do you plan to get them done over?
January 8, 2019
I am gonna give it some more time. I’m also not sure if I’m gonna have more kids. I think eventually I will prob have to get a delayed lift. Pre op I think my nipple was at or the level of breast crease so I was kind of in between a lift or implants alone. Praying they will fill out the lower breast pocket but it’s already been 7 weeks so not hopeful.

How old are you and how many kids did you have? What was your goal as far as cup size? And yeah, I don’t think I want to put myself in more debt doing another surgery so it is what it is..

Recovery Was Painless

Jessibella
I forgot to mention that post surgery, I felt zero pain! I was totally paranoid prior to surgery bexause people told me they had to take pain meds especially at night. I was surprised because I felt zero pain, only pressure & swelling on my breasts but that was it! The only thing I hated about post surgery was that I was loopy as hell for days from the anesthesia. I tried to drink tons of water to flush it out of my system. The fatigue and dizziness lasted for almost 2 weeks! It’s been 8 months now and it’s still feels uncomfortable wearing no bra to sleep or even being bra-less all day long. I don’t like that I don’t have support for my breast so they flap everywhere lol Definitely something I am I used to but I’m not complaining.. Also, I forgot to add that I was being so paranoid with what CCs to get because I didn’t want to be obvious. 300CCS was JUST RIGHT but when a few weeks after surgery I went to VS to get measured and she told me I was a D cup. I was thinking to myself, “wow, I am huge!” Well, as the months passed and swelling was gone, I felt like my boobs shrunk a bit because now I am a full C cup. So my advise is to go hard or go home! I honestly wish I would have went with at least 325CCS or 350CCS because I find that I am still wanting to buy VS push-up bras. I have a friend that went 450 and she only wears sports bras, no need for push-up. Right now, I’m enjoying them and the debt that came with it so maybe in a few years down the road I may get the surgery done again but with more CCS. Other than that, i am so in love with how beautifully my breasts came out. That’s why I said I would definitely do it again :-)
