After having 2 kids, loosing 35 pounds from Jan...
WORTH IT$10,300
After having 2 kids, loosing 35 pounds from Jan 2015 and going from 40% body fat to 18% in 9 months, my girls were drained. My pecks stood out further than the twins. After having 2 friends use Dr.wayne Perron from Calgary Alberta and loving their results, I knew he would be my plastic surgeon. He is an amazing doctor and his staff are equally as impressive. I travelled from Edmonton to Calgary for the procedure and it was worth it.
After my consult I was nervous and worried that They wouldn't be big enough to look proportanate to my body. At 5'9, 175 lbs, 14bwd my frame is wide. He said I could handle bigger implants but because I was so active he wanted to make sure volume would not be an issue so the team suggested a midrange implant. We decided between 457 and 492 but he went with the 492 midrange Allergan Natrelle. He was happy with the choice and I ultimately left the decision in his hands.
Today was my surgery and so far the only pain and discomfort I have felt it similar to a real hard chest day workout. The incision is periareolar and under the muscle.
Granted this is only Day 1 but so far I am very impressed with the entire experience. He kept asking if I had any questions but his staff answered them all so well, all I said was please use your best judgment and explained again what I wanted out of the end result (volume, natural and proportanate to my frame). In the end I wasn't concerned with overall size, but he seemed satisfied with these.

You look great! I'm following you because my breasts look very similar to yours. I'm Having an arm lift 2/3/2016 and I have lost 130lbs. I'm thinking of having my breasts done at the same time. Happy healing and keep us posted on your progress!

It's important to first find a surgeon you want. I chose mine for 3 reasons based on 2 friends that used him
A-painless/quick recovery, All he recommends to take post surgery is Advil for swelling if you need it. Either of my friends had a painful experience and both recovered fast. It's one of his signatures and I'm pleased to say that was also my experience. You still feel tightness and the feeling of engorgement but soon as you start your stretches, that goes away.
b. Nice scars: he goes under the nipple and your left with a scar that's not even noticeable. I can't even tell where my gf's got their incisions. He is very skilled
C-personality: he is very personable, he listens, he cares and he takes pride in every job he does.
I trusted him and I worked so hard to initially loose my weight so this was my reward. I would do it again in a heart beat

Thank you for taking the time to respond to me. I have a great surgeon so I know she's going to take great care of me. I just worry about losing feeling in my breasts or being disappointed with the results. I'm Having a consult for my breasts in November, so once that happens, I feel like I will be able to make an informed decision. Thanks again and keep up your great work!
September 25, 2015
Those feelings don't really go away till after, lol
Just ask lots of questions, I'm sure you are in great hands!

How did you lose all the weight? You look soooooo good. I would love to see a before in the weightloss side of things. I'm trying to lose weight as well and you look like you've never been overweight!

I lost 35 pounds on ideal protein. Google ideal protein in your area. I have friends that have lost over 100 lbs since January on it. I lost 35 pounds in 13 weeks then I started weight lifting to build muscle. I have been crossfitting for over a year now too and that helped shape my body.

Day 1/ 2 post op
Day 1: I went in for my post op and it was fantastic. Carol explained everything to me again and fitted me with a strap. I haven't taken any pain meds at all yet. It honestly just feels like a hard chest day. I've walked around and rested too.
Day 2:I woke up a bit stiff but that worked itself out as I got up and moved around. These seem so big to me but they aren't heavy at all. The volume is perfect, just what I wanted. I know my frame could of handled bigger but I'm glad I chose these.

Congrats! You look fantastic! I'm also very athletic and I'm worried about selecting the wrong size and being able to run long distances, and do my workouts, and lift etc.. Please let me know how you manage with returning to your workouts!
September 17, 2015
It was a hard compromise for me because I have such a wide frame. Honestly, so far, these 492cc are not heavy and they seem to be the perfect choice as far as not being to big. I will obviously know more when I can actually get back in the gym but I am glad I never got bigger. But I think you really need to consider your frame size too. I wanted to look proportionate before functional (activity wise), and then just choose the best volume for my activity level. My PS actually also recommended the 457cc because of my activity level but said the 492cc would look really good and with the slight difference in volume I wouldn't notice. So I went for it! These are also the largest I could get in midrange for my bwd. If I wanted more volume I would of had to go high profile and when I tried on those, it looked torpedo(ish), and was pointy like a cone. They reminded me of pointy Madonna boobs.

Thanks so much! I'm also more pec muscle and not much breast left.. I love my push-ups and burpees are a huge part of my workouts. I'll be following your recovery to see how it goes!! You looked great and picked a great size!!

Hi there, im just wondering what they said about chest exercises for you, im getting mine done in December and read on here yesterday that chest exercises push the implants out side ways, which worries me a bit, i love doing chest exercises, in fact your pre-boobs look like mine, more pec than boob, so nice to see your results, they do look great
September 17, 2015
Hi, yes my pre-boobs were basically pecs with little breast tissue that I had left.
I was advised to lay low on bench press and push-ups for that very reason (implants pushed to the side) but I am just going to do this by trial and error. I doubt I will do a heavy chest day again but I still want to crossfit so I will be doing pull-ups and push-ups. I'm just not sure when I will be able to train yet.

Day 3 post op-range of motion back
Wow! I woke up this morning and had to touch myself to see if my girls were attached still, lol
I have been wearing this compression band and for the first 2 days it was torture but last night It felt fine, and more secure. This morning I don't even feel it anymore. I wonder if they are starting to soften and migrate down a little more. I have good range of motion again. I have been slowly stretching out as advised by my post op nurse. My goal was to be able to lift my arms fully extended up in a door frame and I'm there already. I'm hoping to go for a good walk today. Yesterday they still felt a bit uneasy when I took each step.
Does anyone remember how long it took before they could safely drive again? i can open and shut doors without discomfort but I don't want to push it.
I will post new pictures later. I have been taking daily shots so I can see how these girls progress.

I had my surgery on the same day as you, Dr. Waslen in Calgary. I'm feeling good but the implants feel huge on me!
September 17, 2015
You're doing great! Glad you're taking pictures so you can see your healing progress!
September 20, 2015
Thanks, that has been the biggest thing that has helped me. I see subtle changes at least.
September 17, 2015
I had a TT and BA....I was driving by myself exactly one week later
September 21, 2015
On goodness!! Wow! That's great! Yes I did drive yesterday but cautiously.
September 19, 2015
How many cc's did you go? Good to hear recovery is going well!!
September 20, 2015
My doctor said no full extension of my arms for 21 days! :( I'm jealous that you can move. :) yesterday i still felt like it would be tough to drive safely. What if I had to move quickly. I'm ready to be more independebt again. I'm interested to see how everybody answers you. My ps said its fine as long as your off meds, but I was feeling like it would be pushing it yesterday. I could do it, but wouldn't unless I had to.
September 20, 2015
I know! ;( Two more weeks to go I guess. I've been allowed to walk as soon as I wanted but no full arm extension. Like jumping jack range of motion or even straight oit away from your body.
Wow, congratulations on your weight loss journey and your new breasts! Feel free to join the September 2015 breast augmentation forum for some post op support. Update us often as you continue to heal!
