I Breastfed my three kids and wanted to get the volume back! I ended up going with 400cc silicone gel implants placed under the muscle with an under the boob incision. I absolutely love them!! Sometimes I wish I would have went larger, but I'm happy with what I have an they look so good!
My surgeon was Dr. Papillion and he made the entire process really simple and straightforward. He was always available to talk and responded to all of my emails within minutes.
Recovery was a little more painful than I had anticipated. I couldn't use my upper body for anything! I couldn't even open my own medicine bottles! I also didn't expect the muscle spasms I had. Those went away around 2-3 weeks. My left boob incision hurt for the first 4 weeks. I am now 8 months post op and I feel completely normal. Boobs are SO SQUISHY! I'm amazed at how real they feel. My only regret is with size, but I have read that most women say that. Overall I am so happy with my results.

What was your BWD? What profile did you go with? Medium Moderate? Full or high profile? What was your height and weight? Do you have any updated pictures? Thanks

haha. I know my review kind of sucked. sorry... I wasn’t going to do one and then decided to and clearly not prepared. lol. I don’t know my BWD, we did moderate plus profile. I am 5’4 and 130lbs. I also have slight pectus excavatum.

no that’s OK, I am currently deciding between two profiles and I just like to hear peoples opinions of what they got and if they are happy with their choice!!

oh ok! yeah my dr didn’t let me choose profiles. He did that. He originally told me he would use high profile but once in the OR he used Moderate Plus. I got to choose the size though. I absolutely love love love them but I do wish I would have went to 550 instead of 400. when in doubt, go up! GL! when is your surgery?

yes, I have heard that many plastic surgeons do make the decisions for their patients. It would definitely be a lot easier for me that’s for sure. LOL I think there such a difference between full profile and moderate profiles, so for me to understand what the implants look like in the different scenarios as far as the profiles has been in Porten to me when making my decision. Right now I’m sitting at 375 to 385, i’m happy to be meeting with my plastic surgeon on Wednesday to finalize sizes that’s for sure. I just want to be done with obsessing about the sizes. That’s what literally keeps me up at night! I know what I want my end result to be, and I’ve got a lot of pictures to show what I ideally like to have my results look like. I think in the end I will be happy because I went over the top communicating with my plastic surgeon! And my surgery is April 3!I started my review if you want to click on my profile you can follow my progress. Thanks again for your responses I appreciate it!
