36A to 375 cc moderate plus, sub muscular, 5'7 125lbs, no kids
WORTH IT$9,000
I got a BA when I finally decided, "I'm worth it!" June 2nd, 2020. So far I am thrilled.
My Stats:
5'7
125lbs
36A ... hoping for a large C or small D
12.5 BWD
375 cc moderate plus
Sub muscular
With my BWD, Mentor only gave me two options: 325 cc or 375 cc. I chose the larger size and I still fear it's too small. But so far, recovery has been a breeze! I am amazed.... no nausea and next to no pain. My doc doesn't recommend ice or massage and I have followed the directions on the pain pills exactly as prescribed. Sad to see my weight has gone up more than 10 lbs! Can't exercise but I am still eating like a maniac. Still, wish I had done this sooner!

Mentor 375 cc ... almost one week!
It’s exciting to see the progress each day! I was pretty disappointed on Day 1 with how small they looked. Almost like I hadn’t had surgery at all! But Day 5 looks much better to me.
On the downside, the weight gain is real. I am up 12 lbs. I would like to think it’s all bloating, but with no nausea and a massive sweet tooth, I’ve been overeating. It’s really difficult not to exercise. I have bulimia 2, which means I am a compulsive eater and exerciser. It’s killing me not to work out. But my caregiver (Mom) is watching me like a hawk. Plus, it’s such an investment and a life long dream, I don’t want anything to mess it up. I am off the narcotics and simply taking Tylenol. Other than some general breast tenderness like PMS, everything is going great. Although I must admit I’m pretty numb overall. I’ve read many reviews that dislike the post compression bra, but I love mine. I don’t want to be without it. (Wacoal sports bra with an underwire, per my doc). I see him again in two days for a follow up. Also, I must remember to enroll in the Mentor warranty program. I think you only have a limited time to do that post surgery. Wishing you all the best with your BA journeys and trying to be patient with me. Ha ha.

Yes you have to enroll w/Mentor within a certain amount of time. Are you paying for the extended warranty? It's weird how every PS has their own po instructions. I was given a compression bra but couldn't wear underwire for quite a while however I had a BL/BA. A lot of times PS like their patients to wear underwire bras to hold/help your breasts heal in a certain position. It also helps those with bottoming out issues. Good luck, congrats on your BA and happy healing dear.

Thank you so much for your message! Yes I was thinking the Mentor extended warranty was probably my best option. I was very surprised that the bra the doc recommended had an underwire after everything I have read on RealSelf, but I have to admit I love it. Feels nice snug and secure. Wishing you the very best!

One week PO, Mentor 375 mod +
Quick and painless appointment with the doc to remove the steri strips. Scars looked worse than I had hoped, but he gave me special oil to apply to the incision sites 3 times daily. No “morning boob” like I have read about, but I do have some all over tenderness throughout the day and general numbness. No constipation but still feeling bloated. He also tightened the straps on the sports bars by a knotch... not quite as comfy but still feels so much better with the bra on than off. Sleeping has not been a problem. Still very happy I did this!
