535cc UHP BA Happy Birthday to Me! 5'6" 118lbs
WORTH IT
I guess I should start with Hi, I'm Valerie. I guess I have wanted a breast augmentation since I was 12. I remember stuffing my bra and hoping no one noticed and going to school... I have 2 children, a nine year old and a 5 year old. I breastfed both for a year, and it shows. I was fat after my last daughter for 3 years... then I got divorced and lost 50 lbs... 20 of that has been in the last year, and I am happy with my body, the beginnings of a 6 pack, and I love crossfit... We recently moved to Florida to join my boyfriend of two years and I have a gorgeous view, the dream man, and now the only thing that is missing are my boobs.
Now I had some for a few years while I was breast feeding, and I when I was a bigger girl, they were there, but still small for my body. I have the same wish pics of a lot of the ladies on here, cute and perky and big. I want to go big. There is no point in paying for the procedure and dealing with the healing if I am not going big... so here I go to go big or go home.
I visited 3 different doctors in Kansas before we decided on the move. He had been travelling back and forth for the last year, and got a second job that made the back and forth visits almost impossible. So out the girls and I came... We found a doctor that a client of his recommended, Dr. Joshua Halpern. After the initial visit I was hooked, I saw before and afters of other ladies... 1 week out from surgery, No Bruising, and Fast healing due to his technique in the operating room... so here I wait... We are putting the down payment down next week, I guess it will feel real then... but for now it still seems like a dream... more of a nightmare, me stuck with a body that doesn't feel like mine... looking in the mirror and seeing my chest which used to be big and beautiful while breastfeeding, all saggy and shrunken.
I am 5'6" and 118lbs... very petite. I had a few suggestions for all the doctors that I have been to... one suggesting 350cc moderate plus, one suggesting 400cc hp, and Dr. Halpern suggesting 535cc UHP. He says these will give me the DD look that I am going for. I have a large A, small B at this time. my rib cage is Super Tiny... I measure around at 30"
We chose the implant based my breast width and the results that I am looking for. I would love to go bigger, but at this point, I don't think my skin will stretch much further.

This is a shock to come across your post. As I thought it was a forum for mostly women getting explant. And tryst me we are in thousands !
We can all tell you the dangers that you are really in that your PS will not tell you! How every one of us is hugely relieved to get the tixic plastic out of out bodies (and most didnt have anythung wrong with them, me included)
Let me start by saying I had the tear drop and eventually one flipped and I could move it! This is what they’ll do. And rippling.
Took them out got round (all under muscle) . On the morning after that surgery I knew it was a decision i regreted. Why Am I cutting myself open for vanity?! I mean Why?!
I was flat before and id happily go flat again because trust me they’re not worth the healths risk now, not ever. I have one breast that is hard and one that never softened, no reason ... I was relieved to find this site with hundreds of women tellung their stories of explant and giving each other so much encouragement with being just themselves again . Its now heartbreaking to find this flipside to the site actually encouraging implants again. Please look up the very real problems even New implants cause beforegetting them . It will shock but knowledge is power. I wish you all the best of luck and please know the ladies on the other side to this will happily help you . x

Mandy, I am so sorry your results were not what you wanted... I love this website. I found many great stories of women who had surgery to improve their bodies to the way they wanted them to look. My wish pics for my doctor are from this site, and without them I wouldn’t have been able to get the results I wanted. I wish you all the best.

Then you would know the shocking evidence of the harm All implants are causing now and in the future.
Thousands of women are seaking help from lethargy, fibromyalgia, brain fog.. and as soon as these things are taken out these symptoms go away! You were born with a beautiful body and soon enough you’ll understand its the media that has changed your perception of beauty. I Wish you the best I really do.

Mandy, I already had issues with autoimmune diseases for 11 years before I ever had surgery, so you are talking to the wrong person about this stuff. I love my implants, they are the best decision I made 2nd only to divorcing my first husband. I am happy with them, they improved my self esteem and I feel like my real self now, so you are wasting your breath and your time. You are on the line when it comes to harassment here about my own personal choices while spreading your anti-surgery propaganda. This site that you think is for women who had implants removed was created for people who wanted to get surgery to do reliable research on doctors. I spent over a year researching on this very website to find the right doctor for me. I love my body, and I enhanced it to fit what I see as perfect. You lying about having autoimmune diseases disappear after the removal of implants is pitiful. My autoimmune symptoms disappeared when I changed my diet, and it saved my life, so I don't appreciate you spreading false hope. Please stop spamming my profile, there is no way I am going to get my implants removed. I am reporting you for harassing me.

I am so excited today!!! So the doctor's office called today and said that I can move my appointment time up. I just spoke with them yesterday and paid 1/2 of my final balance and moved my surgery up from 3/16 to 3/9. The great news they called about was to ask if I wanted to move my surgery up to 3/2. Of course I said YES!!! That is 6 days away! I can't think straight, and my excitement is bubbling over.

So my lab report came back and I have an enormous UTI with my health issues that I have I couldn't feel that I was having symptoms until it was so extreme that it was almost a kidney infection. The doctor called me in some antibiotics yesterday and I've had 3 doses so far I haven't slept in about 3 days because I've been in so much pain. The burning is starting to subside the tiniest amount I go in here in an hour and a half to find out if my white blood cell count is down low enough to still get my surgery in 2 days. I'm hoping that the pain from my surgery is not as bad as my UTI pain was on Saturday night. My amazing boyfriend ran down the street to the Walgreens for me to get some azo. I've been reading all kinds of lists on what to expect after surgery, items to have on hand after surgery and I'm excited but on the other hand I'm still in so much pain from my infection that I am getting nervous about how difficult this recovery is going to be
