30 year old mama of two! Breastfeeding/pregnancy didn’t change my boobs too much. They’ve pretty much been this size always.
Never felt very womanly or like they are proportionate to my body (tall/wide hips). Worried I’m going too small with 425. Id rather be too big than too small since I already know what being too small feels like. I also don’t want them to be too big for my body that they look too circular.

I have above the muscle now and have to get them replaced after 16 years . Have saline and still going with saline . Trying to decide to go under muscle this time . Any advice ? I’m torn bc heard more painful
August 20, 2018
I’ve heard that under the muscle is more painful but you get more natural results? I’m still new to this! Do you like your above the muscle implants?
August 21, 2018
I do like my above - I’m going for my pre op Wednesday and gonna talk to surgeon and see what he says . I’m getting my implants redone a week from today . Can’t remember what cc i have but i wear a c- gonna go little bigger this time . I’ve heard under is a lot more painful and a lot longer recovery time
August 21, 2018
I bet the fact that you already have had implants in give you a big advantage. Your recovery is probably going to be easier in that way! I stopped pain meds at day 3... took a one at day 8. Was back to driving and doing most things by day 4. The thing that’s the most painful isn’t my muscle pain, but the stretching of my skin the tenderness. I hope that helps! Definitely ask your surgeon about what the difference in recovery is. You can even as the the surgeons on this site and get different opinions!

So u went under the muscle ?
August 21, 2018
Yup! 450cc round silicone gel under the muscle!
August 21, 2018
Was under horrible pain for recovery ? And also i am just concerned bc i have seen people with unders that when they move and flex chest the implant moves with em - that’s a concern also for me
August 21, 2018
I have nothing to compare it to, so I can’t say. I’ve never felt my implant move like that. I would say the most painful part for me wasn’t the muscle pain, but the pressure, skin stretching, and now dealing with the little shooting pains and nipple tenderness.

Wow amazing results! I bet you feel incredible ..im currently 5 days post op 450cc round high profile under and I'm dying in pain my results are perfect but I'm struggling desperately how are you feeling now? I'm hoping this will subside pretty soon
September 10, 2018
Ugh that first couple weeks can be rough! Don’t worry it will get better! It’s worth the wait! How are you feeling? What’s hurting? I’m feeling almost 100%. My progress has been slow and gradual. I’m still having tender and sensitive nipples. But it’s improving!

Day of surgery!

KEB11
This was my first surgery. I was feeling a little anxious but the staff at TMC surgery center was amazing. And Dr. Rao is such a great PS I felt at ease. I had to check in at 6:00 am. I got all undressed and ready. I asked the nurse how long it would take and she said 2 hours since my PS has a reputation of being a perfectionist. She also said that several nursers that work at the surgery center had their augmentation done by Dr. Rao. It made me feel good about choosing Dr. Rao! He’s just the best! I woke up a little feeling drowsy and in pain. For some reason I felt the need to talk, so I was just talking about anything I could think of and my husband said I kept saying things like “I know where I am, I know what happened” ???????????Here are some before pics and some sizers I tried on!

I just want to comment and say that I’ve been searching for a proper posting for the longest. You have great bare before and after photos your before is clear and the after is fantastic congrats on the new girls. I am low C and wanted to do 450cc HP but recently felt like that would be too small so I want to know why were you before? And what is your new cup size? Please and thank you
August 22, 2018
Yay! Glad I could help! This forum has helped me out so much, I was hoping my review would do the same. I was a 34a (but wore 34b for extra padding). I tried on a 34dd and it fit... but I was still swollen. I’m guessing I’m a 34d. I can still fit in all my old sports bras. I’m super tall so 450cc isn’t as big on me as other ladies.

Also wanted to add that I told my plastic surgeon I wanted to be a D cup. I couldn’t go any bigger because my breast tissue and width was too little.

I’m assuming your dates are off? Post title said day of sx but the date states 10 days after?
August 31, 2018
The post title is the correct days. I didn’t post until after surgery because life was just too busy! My augmentation was August 3rd!

Ok, I was confused! How are your breast doing with d&f?
August 31, 2018
I think they are dropping... i see a tiny bit more fullness in the bottom part. But they are still sorta hard. I think my progress is just slow. But they are a tiny bit softer everyday, and I like them more and more so that’s something. I’m still super tender. How about you??
August 31, 2018
I’ll do a other update!

I am 13 mpo BL/BA 500cc and I LOVE my boobs! You will love your boobs more and more everyday! It may take 6-12 months to complete d&f, it’s different for everyone. Some are good by 3 months but my year was very interesting. I was last sized at a 34H at 7 mpo but fluffed again at 12 mpo. I live over an hour away from Nordstrom or any mall so I been living in sports bras again since my bras are snug. You can read my profile anytime.

Are yours moderate or high profile?

Day 2

KEB11
Lots of pressure and discomfort. Felt a little loopy from anesthesia. I was going to try to be tough and not take pain meds (I just don’t like taking too many medications in general and have a high pain tolerance). But I gave up on that real fast. I was lucky my 2 kids spent the night at their grandmothers house. So I slept the day away.
