Ok, so this site is amazing! I started consults about 3 weeks ago and have decided on a doctor & scheduled surgery. I need a lift and implants! At doctor's suggestion, I went with the "Gummy Bear" moderate profile implants. He asked what size I want to be. Now that's tricky and as noted on here, a D on one lady looks a lot different than a D on another. Right now I WEAR a 34C, but I have room…its not a snug fit like it once was. I've had 4 kids, breastfed 8 years. Yes 8. Although La Leche will tell you breast is best, and breastfeeding won't cause sagging and loss of volume, it's a lie! (I really wouldn't change a moment of those times with my kids). So my pitiful puppies are like depleted balloons. I would say I'm likely a 34B and want a 34 D or DD. The doctor was like, ok! He never told me a cc size because he didn't want me caught up in that. But I am. Very caught up. So I'm debating just trusting him to understanding what I want, or going back in pre-op to go through it all again. I did call his office and his nurse went through a spiel about how wonderful the pa is and how knowledgeable…he knows what size you want and he'll make it happen. But does he really? I'm so worried I'll come out dissatisfied and feeling like I don't have my money worth. Should I just up the size to DD?

Thanks so much for sharing your story with this community. I hope you find everything you need in terms of feedback and support here. If you would like advice on implants size, it would be helpful for the community to know some stats about you: your height, current weight, etc. Let us know how we can help!

My doctor based my implant size strictly on the wish pics I provided him. I had done a lot of research and really trusted him, so I went into surgery with no idea how many cc's I'd come out with. In my case the wish pics were pertinent. If you get too caught up in a cc #, you might be disappointed because as you said the same # can look completely different on different people. As long as you trust your doctor and have communicated with him the look you desire you should be happy! I do understand the frustration though! Good luck, you'll be in my prayers.

Need Some Quick Help ….

suzanne97July 12, 2016

My surgery is scheduled for Friday (it's Monday now). I'm having a lift and implants. I have four kids under 9 and my parents are helping my husband for 4 days. My mom will continue to help an additional 3-4 more days. On post op day 11 we have scheduled a short vacation (4 days) with my husband's family. (They do not know about surgery). Is this even possible!? My husband is clear on "no lifting" so he will do kid carrying and any other lifting that needs to be done. What did you/could you do a week and a half after surgery?? Thanks in advance. (Btw, my PS just said I'm not back to normal for a month…no lifting and I won't be able to take care of myself, much less kids the first couple of days. After the weekend, I can take care of myself and kids (minus housework and lifting). "Listen to your body.")

Hi
I'm 12 days post lift/implants and I feel pretty much back to normal , still tight across the top around the pecs but otherwise ok. I'm pretty much able to do everything, although I'm careful not to stetch too far and put my arms above my head . I'm still sleeping on my back and turn slightly to the side if I want to but can be a bit sore sometimes.
I would be fine with a vacation now, although everyone's healing is different and I don't have young children to look after. Just remeber to take it easy , don't over do it and rest before your body is crying out for you to do so :) have fun and good luck

Natrelle 410 unders yesterday!

suzanne97July 16, 2016
So I went in for surgery yesterday. The lift and augmentation took just over 2 hours. I got Natrelle 410 mm, under the muscle. I am so excited but nervous (I want to keep this a secret). So far it seems very unlikely I'll be able to hide these massive girls, but maybe when the swelling goes down it'll be possible.
