Before:
I have fluctuated about 30lbs atleast 4 different times in my life. This last time when I lost the weight my once D breasts completely deflated. They were asymmetric, deflated, saggy and i was extremely insecure and hated the way I looked. I decided to look into breast implants and had my surgery 1 week ago. I'm 5'9" 132lbs and my surgeon recommended a 375 moderate plus profile.
The Surgery + Recovery 1 week out:
The surgery was over very quick and I didn't wake up with any pain. I stayed on top of my pain medication every 4-6 hours and never experienced pain. I was sore and tired but I would not describe it as painful. I do think I am very sensitive to pain so I was surprised by how comfortable I was. I had my surgery Wednesday morning and was off of them by Friday morning. I returned to work Monday. My back muscles are still getting used to the added weight so I am feeling some discomfort there.
Results:
Right now I'm still pretty swollen and I still have a lot of upper pole fullness. However My breast already look 100x better than before and I am excited to see the final results! The doctor used 375cc mp silicone on the right and 400cc mp silicone on the right.
I will provide more updates as I progress!

Hi,
Mine are like yours before, and I'm going in for surgery just in the new year. What shape are your implants!? Are they the tear drop or the flat and round? I hope to have mine as good as yours look in the after photo!

Hi or100, they are round mentor silicone implants. The profile used was moderate plus. Let me know if you have any questions and best of luck with your surgery I am sure they will look great!! :)

Your results are fantastic! It seems that 99% of PSs recommend a lift with augmentation, but I'm finding more and more posts of women who have refused the lift and went just with augmentation. Since your results are incredible without lift, I'm wondering if your PS talked to you about a lift or not. Would you mind sharing this information?

Thank you jerp! I had always thought I needed a lift too! I met with 3 different doctors and all said I could achieve a perky full look without a lift. All 3 surgeons said they usually recommend a lift if the nipple position is lower than 22cm from the collar bone and if no skin is visible below the areola. Since my nipple position was about 20-21cm below and had visible skin below the areola - all 3 said I could get away without a lift! Let me know if you have any other questions and best of luck on your surgery! :)

That is so awesome!! I had a donut lift and looked very similar to you postop. I didn't want to have it, but thought I had to and went along w what my surgeon recommended. I absolutely hate it!! I've seen several implants here that had some droopiness post op like I did and look absolutely beautiful! The donut lift was a big mistake and I've had many other problems w implants many due to surgeon error so I'm removing them. It's interesting how it can go so right for some and so wrong for others! Def be happy w your results- they look great!! :) :)

You look like you're doing amazing! Great that you didn't have any pain. You must have a great doctor! They look like they have already dropped!

Are your implants over or under the muscle?

Hey PrincessPenna! I went under the muscle! The surgeon used a dual plane technique.

I'm about a week and a half out and wanted to post pictures of my scars as well as provide updates! My scars are noticeable but hidden in the crease. I'm just so happy my breasts look better than before so I do not mind a small hidden scar.
The surgeon went under the muscle and used a dual plane technique. The implants are mentor round silicone moderate plus profile!

I'm due to have a revision sometime around March, and my PS recommended me a moderate + profile. However, I wanted to ask you, are you satisfied with the projection from your implants? I am afraid to look too flat. I'm 5'11'' and he's recommended 500cc Mentor round.
December 9, 2016
Hey AmericanNL, I am very happy with the projection on the moderate+ profile. I think you will be extremely happy with the 500cc moderate plus profile. Although it's a moderate plus profile it's a larger size so you will get more projection. I am measuring at a DD right now so I think the 500cc's will give you atleast a D look. Hope that helps and good luck with your surgery!

Any chance you could update your results? They look great 3 weeks post-op. If they haven't changed much, how about with clothe on to see what they look like :-)
Hey there! Welcome, and thanks so much for sharing your story. Congratulations! What an awesome transformation :) Do you know which brand your implants are?
You're welcome! Thanks for adding the extra details. Are your scars noticeable?
That would be awesome, thanks! I'm glad they're healing well, and I'm sure they won't be noticeable. Sounds as though they're very well placed.
