WORTH IT$5,000
I have always had small breasts. I have 3 sisters all with bigger breasts. Since I am the youngest I waited patiently for my big girl boobies too, but they never came. The only time I have ever had any amount of boobs was when I was breastfeeding. I have talked about getting my breasts done for years, but then finally this year everything came together all at once so that I was able to have it done. I am 2 weeks and 2 days post op now. I have been very timid to do a review and post pictures, but I decided to do it today. My stats, 5'7", 165lbs (and still losing), bra size pre 36 A/small 36B, breast width 13.5, 500cc hp allergen smooth round under the muscle. I have bought 2 bras for now to wear when I go out and they are a 36 D. I am curious to see how they fit when the girls are done dropping and fluffing. My recovery has been the same as a lot of women I've read on here. Woke up from surgery with intense pressure, but I never had a lot of pain. I was extremely nauseous when I woke up from surgery and was in the recovery area for several hours because of it. They were finally able to make it go away and I got to go home. I never took any of my pain meds because they all make me feel so sick, but I was never in a ton of pain mostly just uncomfortable from all the tightness and pressure. I took 800 mg ibuprofen every 7 hours around the clock to manage the swelling and discomfort and that was enough for me, except I did take my muscle relaxer every night. I did ice my boobs frequently. Days 2-4 are the worst but the swelling seems to start calming down more and more each day after that. On day 2 and 3 I felt really down about all of it and wondered why did I do this?? But getting past day 4 I felt a lot better. My swelling is all gone now and sometimes I feel like they are too small without all the swelling lol But then I look in the mirror and take some pictures or try on a top I never filled out before and I feel a lot better. This week I have been frustrated by how high they still are. They have dropped some and have softened up quite a bit, but I am anxious for them to drop more. I know the process takes time, but since I am feeling so much like my normal self I want normal looking boobs instead of the boxiness I still have. But I'll get there eventually. So far, except for the few days I have felt frustrated with them, I love my boobs and am just so eager to see their final result in 6 months!

I know what u mean I am 12 days and mine look like yours also! Wish mine would drop and fill out bottom or fluff or whatever it's called i hate them right now... Honestly hope this is not my true result!

I know the feeling. I think that is why I have waited so long to do the review and put up pictures because I have been scared this is how they will stay. But I am trying to be positive and I figured I'd do a review in case anyone else was worried and we could be worried together lol.

May 23, 2015
Yes!!! I have been searching like crazy looking for other ppl like me lol I haven't posted anything on here yet.. Maybe soon tho :) I go back in 3wks so I am going to try and stay patient and wait :))

I am in a lot of pain still and swolen also.. I had Lypo done in one breast and axillory Lypo on both sides!! I hurt so bad :/

My next appt is a week and half away and it will be my 4 week appt. My PS told me at my first post-op visit that they would change much between now and then, and I was really disappointed. He did also say though between weeks 6 and 8 I would see a lot of change. It's so hard having to wait that long!! Oh man! I can only imagine how much worse your pain is with the lypo! I hope it goes away for you soon!!

Yup these are exactly what mine looked like in the beginning. You will LOVE LOVE LOVE them when they finally drop. Keep massing them like your doctor says. It will help to release those pec muscles and encourage them to drop into place. Your recovery looks really good so far! Can't wait to check back in a month to see your progress.
May 28, 2015
Thank you! He has me massaging them 4 times a day, but I think I probably do it more than that because I am so anxious for them to drop!

Hi.
We are about the same stats. I wanted 500ccs. I notice your profile said $5000. Is that how much you paid for your entire surgery in SC? ?

September 20, 2015
Hello! What's the payment process through Dr Sexton office? Do u have to pay the entire 5000 before getting the surgery or partial? Thanks in advance!!!
September 20, 2015
You have to put down a deposit when you schedule your surgery to hold your spot. Then your balance has to be paid in full at your pre op appointment. I can't remember exactly how much the deposit was though, I think it was around $300. Also it was $5,000 for silicone and, I believe, if I remember right, it was $4,200 for saline. I really like him and his office staff.

September 20, 2015
Thanks so much!!! So do the price varies based on the size or is that set price???
September 21, 2015
The cost seems to be based on the type of implant, cheaper for saline than for silicone. I originally chose 425cc silicone implants and the price didn't change when I changed my mind and went with 500cc silicone.
September 21, 2015
That's how it was at my PS office too. It was a flat $1000 more for silicone.

You could tell they are going to look really good. Do you know what cup size they are so far?
May 23, 2015
I tried on bras and I ended up buying 36 D. I was going for a full D cup and so far that seems to be where I'm at :)

May 23, 2015
Looking really good! That's a perfect size for you. Happy healing. Make sure you take it easy the first couple of months. I'm about 7 1/2 weeks post-op.
May 23, 2015
Thank you! I'm trying to take it easy but it's hard sometimes with a 2 year old.
May 25, 2015
Haha.... our stories are very similar.... i have a 2 year old hanging off of me too... it's hard to protect them boobies and taking easy when they are jumping on you all the time.
May 25, 2015
Yes, my 2 year old jumps on us frequently, and I am always holding my boobs to try and stop him from hurting them :)

Last week was rough, I was having a hard time liking my boobs. They're still weirdly shaped, and I feel so limited in what I can do, but I feel like myself again and it was all so frustrating! But I get to see my plastic surgeon next week and hopefully get the go ahead to start doing somethings again, and I feel like the girls have dropped just a little, the bottoms seem more round now. I do still wake up with a little bit of morning boob, but once I get going and do my massages they seem to settle down. The sharp shooting pains don't come as often anymore either. But, my nipples are so sensitive that just my bra or a shirt makes them feel like they are raw, and I still have a numb spot on each boob. But, I am really loving them today, and a couple friends and my sister keep commenting on how good they look, and of course my husband loves them, so all of that has helped me feel better about them.

I'll be 3 wks Monday and my nipple on the right is so raw feeling as we speak! My dr still has me in a compression bra plus than band across chest full time so,,, but anyway girl.. My nipple hurts and I too also have numbing. Mostly my lower half and sides .. I see you are looking better! Good luck!!! I'll stay posted :)) don't see dr again

May 29, 2015
My doctor didn't wrap, tape, or do any compression, and wants me to avoid sports/jogging bras until 6 weeks. But I am free to wear whatever other bras are comfortable. The underside of one boob is numb and the side closest to my armpit is numb on the other. I feel like the numb spots have shrunk a little though. What size did you get??

May 30, 2015
I only have 360cc saline , dual plane. I had Lypo in one boob and axillory lipo in both sides. I was a 36b not sure what I am now haven't dropped much :/

May 29, 2015
I used Nippies to help with the nipple sensitive and standing at attention. lol. Check them out on Amazon. :)
June 1, 2015
You are right on course for your timeline. They will change so much over the next few months. They will look great!

June 2, 2015
I am a yr in to mine 400cc silicone....still have numbness. In my right....shooting vibration in both..it's crazy. .. they look great yet I cannot stand for my husband to even see or touch them. You look great ... they just need to drop. Try just going bra less at home when you can ..it will help alot.
