Surgery Completed 385cc & 415cc
hendrix8September 8, 2019
I forgot to add before photos in my first post. So I’ve included before pics, consultation sizer pics and and a few day 1 post-op pics.
I had my surgery Yesterday. It was a really great experience. I was very calm, no nerves at all which surprised me. I was ready and had complete faith & trust in dr. Hasell as he is highly recommended and has rave reviews in Calgary. The staff was amazing. The facility was very nice, clean and very professional. It was a very smooth, seamless experience.
As an FYI at my consultation Dr. Hasell measured my breast and recommended that the smallest size I should go is 350cc. That was my starting point and I decided on 375cc after trying some on. Then he upped it to 385cc because the implants are compressed when placed under the muscle.
Day of surgery, Dr. Hasell gave me 415cc in my smaller breast & 385cc in my larger breast to even them out. The surgery experience was great and even though I’m bandaged up I think I’m pleased with the size. The implants were round, smooth gummy bears. Regular profile.
The first 24 hours after surgery is rough. You’ll be thirsty after surgery!! I was in a lot of pain but that’s because when I got home I made the mistake of taking only 1 prescribed painkiller instead of 2. I definitely needed 2!! I’m now taking 2 pain killers & 1 Ibuprofen every 5-6 hours and I am much more comfortable! I was up and about the house today but taking it very easy. No heavy lifting. I am not showering yet bc I want to leave the bandages on from the surgery. My goal I to take it easy, heal and not touch anything! I haven’t even looked at what’s under the bandages yet.

Very helpful. I read all your journey. And we have so much in common. In some ways its a little different, Im scared to end up with big boobs. I wanted to get something comfortable bit end up getting 385 cc under the muscle. I had surgery on Sept 30 and feel like they're too high& honestly Im scared to end up with big boobs. I was want a full cup. I was a 36 barely C cup. It i pray that they dont stay high and big

Thanks for the comment:) I'm very happy with my size! I think the 385 & 415cc's are not too big and not too small. Just right for me. I think you'll be fine as I was pre-surgery 34C and I'm only 5'4" and 118lbs. Since the implants no one has noticed I even got implants. So even better. I look normal in a shirt. I tried on some bras for the first time the other day and I was 34DD which I am perfectly happy with. But I seriously can't wait for them to drop and take shape. This is a long process which I wasn't mentally prepared for.

Omg...... same here. I don’t know what was I thinking. I also have one son too. And its been hard for my hubby and him

Yes! I love my size and shape! All my friends say they are big but not too big - just right and they said they think I didn't need to go bigger. But, I do slightly wish I went a tiny bit bigger but at same time I am happy. I mean, I'm a 32 DDD.. can't complain:)

Recovery isn’t pretty. I took the bandages off after 24hrs as instructed and my breasts are looking pretty rough. The dr told me they would as the implants are sitting high in the tight muscle and I’m very swollen. I’ve put my wonderful post recovery bra on and will wear it 24/7 for the next 6-8weeks. I was feeling concerned about the swelling and size difference in breasts, so I texted the surgeon and he called me right away to answer all my questions and put all my concerns to rest. Dr. Hasell really is just amazing! I’m so grateful I choose him as my dr for this.
