SSF-485cc Gummy Bear Implants, Procedure in 2 Weeks!!

Thriving105534
WORTH IT
I'm 39 years old, 5'3", roughly 150 lbs, and I've had 2 kids, they are 13 and 10. I am going with the SSF-485 cc round Natrelle gummy bear implants that will be under the muscle. This procedure has been something I have thought about on and off since I was around 18 years old. At that point in time I wasn't thrilled with my boobs but I was at peace with them and wanted to wait until I had kids. Firstly so I could breastfeed without implants causing issues and secondly because I wanted to see what I would look like post breastfeeding. Well my body let me down on that......they deflated horribly. Like super sad balloons......Currently I am a 34B, but a small to mid size B. From what I am seeing it looks like I could end up in a big C or a D cup, which is what I am looking for. I had 2 consultations, one this year and one a couple years ago (which was with a different doctor). I chose Dr Ortegon because while I was anxious the first time I went in, his staff instantly made me feel relaxed. He took all the time I needed during both my consultations to answer my questions and show me all my options on the Vectra imaging software. I am still quite anxious about being under complete anesthesia and the whole healing process. It's still surreal that I have committed to doing this. I'm super excited to see what happens in 2 weeks, and beyond, once the healing process is complete. I will post before pics soon.

One Day Post Op! Loving Them So Far

Thriving105534

I'm currently one day post op so they are still real sore and high. I had my 24 hr post op appointment this morning and they took the gauze out from my surgical bra and said the lack of bruising is good. There is a potential for bruising down the road but today they look good. Scheduled my 2 week post op appointment for Nov 4th, hoping they drop at least a little by then. Looking forward to being able to massage them and get the pressure out. They currently feel like they did when I was nursing my kids and they were overdo for a feeding. They are rock hard and sore right now. I've been told that's how we want them for 24 hours out of surgery. I will post before and after pics shortly.

just over 3 weeks post op with before pics and current pics

I'm 15 days post op and they have started to drop and fluff.......or drop anyway. I'm still loving the look and how much better my clothes fit now. The tight feeling is gone but the muscles are still tight and there is some swelling still but the pain has subsided and im now impatiently waiting for them to finish dropping. there was some slight bruising and a small blood blister that developed from the tape over one incision. it all went away with no issues. I have lots of zingers throughout from my nerves healing and there is some sensitivity around my nipples but that should go away. I started massaging them last week after my 2wpo appt and that has helped them feel better and less sensitive.
