28yrs Old No Kids Going with a 325cc Mentor Implant. 32b to a 32d Most Likely - Cleveland, TN
ORIGINAL POST
I went for my pre op appointment last week. I will...
WORTH IT$3,500
I went for my pre op appointment last week. I will be having the implant placed under the muscle. Therefore that is the reason I picked the 325cc implant. I was told that after swelling goes down it will be more like the 300 with the exception of the width. I am still worried that they my look to wide for my small frame. However, I am beyond excited about finally getting this done. I have talked about and wanted to do this for the last ten years and it doesnt seem like it but it's really happening!

I am getting excited and worried at the same time. I have backed out of doing this several times because it is a pricey move, however, given that I keep coming back to wanting this it must be the right move. Looking at lots of things online and wanting everything. Can anyone tell me how long they needed to wear a sports bra after or when they felt comfortable wearing under wire again? Also I did the Vectra 3D online it's weird and I don't think it's exactly right, it is interesting though.

You will not regret it I promise! Go for it! I had my original implants in 2000, 360cc saline, under the muscle. In 2015 I had a deflate after having a mammogram. Can't say that it was due to the mammogram or just the age of the implants. In March 2015 I had them removed and replaced with 450cc saline, with no lift. It took me a few months (3 or 4) before I started shopping for new bras because of the scar under my breasts, plus I wanted to make sure the swelling was all gone and the settled in place nicely. Just a little extra tip for you - After my second surgery, I bought 3 extra cotton sports/sleep bras to sleep in because even though I had my implants placed under the muscle years ago I still had some sagging, so this time around, especially since I went bigger, I'm protecting my investment and sleep in a support bra every night.

Yes I am worried about that I usually like to let the girls breath at night so wearing a bra will be an adjustment however, I want them to last as long as they can. I hope you make it past the 15yr mark this time ;)

Hey!! I'm 5'1" 115# and went 300cc to 325/345 Mentor Moderate profile saline which took me u to a high c cup. D in VS size! Im really pleased with my results! I had to wait 6 wks before underwire. I probably waited 3 wks before sports bra and even wear a bra to bed. I feel naked without one now :) Walmart really has comfortable sportsbras at a great price. I found I had to wear 2/3 different ones a day to be comfortable.

What size were you before the implants? I went to Walmart and picked up the cheap ones and I hope one of them will work. I bought a small and a medium just in case, the front close ones.

Hi there! Dr. Hoops did my surgery in 2014:) I wore a sports bra for about 3 months. The ones that zip in the front are the best in my opinion!! My breasts looked really strange and sat like rocks in a regular bra, so the sports bra was a savior!

3 days, so excited/nervous.
I hope I have everything ready and lined up. I am going to pick up some things from the store tomorrow. I am trying to stay well stocked on food and such since it will be my boyfriend taking care of me, he's so sweet that I know he will cook for me too. Yes, there is beer in the fridge already waiting. However, I am wondering if I should bump up to 350cc's... he says it's a shot glass difference. However, this is an uncharted expedition on my chest because I don't know what that will be on me. Any suggestion?
Also of course I'm looking at everything in the world I want to buy along with what I would like the post op at about 2-3 weeks to look like. I'm beyond ready and not all at the same time. Maybe I should start taking the "chill" pills now. Over the weekend I had the 4 prescriptions filled, I called around and Target was cheapest for me as I don't have health insurance at the moment. For all of them it was less than $40.

Go for it! A shot glass isn't that much more. I went from a 360cc to a 450cc and it's not a huge difference. You will be glad you did once everything has healed and settled down.

If you're at all in doubt, go bigger! It's a lot of money to feel disappointed afterwards.

First off, I'm so happy for u. I know the feeling of wanting this so much it hurts. I am 5'3" about 130. Pre op I was a 34b. I got mentor silicone 500hp and I'm so happy with my results. I knew I wanted to really be able to see what I paid so much money for but no look fake. Thank heavens and thanks to an amazing surgeon mine look absolutely natural. Im sure they will look amazing, and the pain is nothing to be worried about. I have 3 children (10, 4 and 1) and was up and back to my normal routine in less the 48hrs. Without pain meds. Good luck. Can't wait to see ur results.

Just for reference, I am 5'7", 125#. I started as a saggy natural large c/small d. I got 450cc moderate plus implants, and am now a solid 34DDD. I bumped up my implant size at the last minute because I was afraid I would think they were too small after the swelling went down. It is truly personal preference. I would think that with the 350cc you would easily get to the D cup you are hoping for:)
