I had to kids and breast fed which resulted in saggy deflated a cup breasts. I went to Dr. Bartell in Madison, WI for a fuller natural tear drop look. Nothing too big, just enough CCs to fill out what I had. I had my surgery yesterday and it went well. I got 375 CCs moderate profile implant, it seems big now but I think it’s due to the swelling and me not being used to big boobs. I’m having moderate/manageable pain right now and I can’t wait for it to subside. Can’t wait to see them in a month or two and try on swimsuits and clothes that I didn’t feel comfortable wearing before. I so happy I have them done just hope the drop and fluff soon. I will post more pics in a day or two. Dr. Bartell’s staff were wonderful! The nurse April was super sweet. They sent me home with an orchid, it was so nice.

Congratulations on your success, your results are indeed very natural. What are you best tips to help others on their journey?

Thanks. My best tip is to have a supportive caretaker to help you for a puppet of days. Maybe three days. I needed help getting out of bed, going to the bathroom. Had trouble opening doors. The recovery is no joke. My husband went back to work on my 3rd day and after he left, I wished he stayed home with me. I was out of it for the first 3 days.

Good tip! I think people underestimate the recovery and everyone's experience is so different. Better to have more support than less.

Wow they look amazing!!! Did you get a round or teardrop implant?

I have a moderate implant, but I told him I wanted a tear drop look.

Hi ! I’m going to see Dr Bartell next week and I wanted to know if you were still happy with your results
April 25, 2019
Yes I am!! Everyday gets better, they are setting in nicely. The first week after surgery is tough but then things get better. I’m back to work and feeling and looking great :)

Hi @cassy160! Wondering how your consultation went and if you proceeded?

I doubt you will see this, being that you had this done several years ago…but if you do, are you still happy with your results? I have my pre-op scheduled in a few days and I’m getting super nervous! My shape is almost exactly like yours and I also am wanting a natural look. I think yours turned out great!

Day 6, love them!

Day 6, just taking Tylenol. I have “zingers” which are random bursts of shooting pain. The doc said it’s normal. I read that zingers means that my nerves are coming back. My breast are also swollen and pointy still, I hope the point goes away. I like the natural slip that I have. Looks very natural and that’s what I wanted. Dr. Bartell really listened to what I wanted and delivered. Yay!

You look amazing! Did you get to choose between the teardrop or round shaped implant? Or, did he adjust the implant to look more tear drop? I want the same natural look you have.
