I am 35 years old , mommy of two and active. I am 5'6 and usually somewhere between 125-135 . I was a D cup when younger and after my first baby a C, then after baby number 2 a B. I had went to a plastic surgeon in 2011 for implants and she felt I needed a lift and wait on implants to see if I would be happy with a lift only. I was for awhile and they just aren't what I'd like. I work out 6 times a week and stay in shape but I am very uncomfortable with my breasts and always go for the padded, push ups from Victoria secrets .
I went to the same surgeon and she could tell I was 100% sure this time and so she agreed it was time. I am having Mentor 440 cc anatomical gummy bear style on August 4. I did not want to be too obviously or unnaturally large and wanted a natural look. I am nervous about the size, but with my measurements and fitting I went with my surgeons opinions on what would look best . I will post some current me pictures in my swim suit and my favorite bras lol if I get real brave I will post my natural id say B breast, not firm at all !

one week post
Today makes one week from surgery! I am feeling so much better the last two days and able to do so much more!!! I am glad to be off all heavy pain killers and can start Motrin tomorrow. my doctor said no ice and doesn't do Valium or muscle relaxers. my muscles were very tight so the surgery took an extra hour to get through the muscle and make the pockets. I am looking forward to seeing the changes over the next few weeks as the new girls drop and the swelling goes down. I am having a hard time with the bloating, swelling and water weight from surgery. my surgeon says no heart rate up, no exercise for two more weeks. seems like forever!!! I am going to try and follow all the rules because I have noticed how different everyone's post surgery rules seem to be and I trust my doctor. I did get anatomical gummy bear implants.

Glad you're feeling better, the tight muscles are no joke, I had a similar issue & they said they expected me to be in a lot of pain after, thankfully I didn't have pain, but soreness & lots of muscle tightness. They do change a lot over the weeks, be patient it'll be worth it. You look great! :-)
August 14, 2015
Thank You! it's getting better everyday and my muscles are relaxing more every day . I can't wait for the drop and fluff stage :)

They look great. Your doctor did a great job. I can't wait for mine BA. I hate that I will have to be out of the gym for a month thought. It's gonna feel like forever. lol
August 15, 2015
Thank you! That was my biggest concern and is except I'm still sore enough and get tired so I have zero gym desire lol it honestly is going quicker and because your muscles were cut and you have that tightness and sore at times it helps you not worry about the gym! when is your ba?

What size did you end up getting?
September 9, 2015
oh sorry, I just saw this! I got 440cc anatomical gummy bears , they don't look as big as 440 round would . I am very happy with them.

We have pretty much the same stats. I got 400cc sientra anatomicals. Mine look a lot smaller. I got mod pro. Are yours high? They look really good!
September 10, 2015
Thank You! Mine are medium height and medium profile anatomical gummy by mentor. you look great !

You look great! That's a really good size for you. I love how the anatomical implants don't "ride high" for long, if at all. I am also feeling so swollen, but it seems a bit better today.

Hey! My surgery is on sep 9th and i am so excited. And I am one of few who are getting the tear drop gummy implant but also im going through my areola since i need a breast lift (i am an A cup but have tuberous breasts sadly)
How is the healing for you? Most women i notice are doing under the breast so any advice or experiences i would appreciate. And btw you looks amazingggg.

Thank You! i had a lift in 2011 and have the lolly pop scar. I went to the same surgeon and she was able to go through my aerola from the 3-9 position on a clock. I am extremely happy with my stitches and it looks like the scar will heal nicely!
I will be exactly two weeks tomorrow and trust me, this week 2 has been so much better and you can be pretty much back to normal but get a little worn out and achy , but don't need heavy pain meds. My surgeon has what seem like pretty strict post op rules , I am following because most people seem to have round and I know the pockets are different for anatomical so I assume she has her reasons lol. I was certain I would be ready and begging for the gym, but I am not and wouldn't dare at this point and don't feel ready for intense cardio either. everyone heals different but it takes more time than I thought when I read stories of people hitting the gym or mall days after surgery. and I want to heal and let my pockets form so I don't flip and implant lol.
My implants are def firm at this point but starting to drop and change, one is now changing quicker than the other lol but I know it happens so patience is key.
I had 440 cc tear drop under the muscle and was a b before the procedure , so no clue where I will be size wise after. I will post pictures and update this week. I did find it helpful to sleep in a chair of I wasn't sleeping well. I also have been told no massage , my surgery bra for 2-3 weeks and then sports bra. I can lay down for a bit with no bra and that is allowable. you have to take it easy and don't push yourself, you will feel an slow when you're getting sore or it's too much ! if you have any specific questions feel free to ask!!

Oh wow, a lot of ppl here either love or dislike tear drop sientra for some reason but they look great on you so I am feeling confident now.
Also, did you get have a problem with stretch marks? Omce again thanks so much. Happy healing

honestly, after a few years of my lift I noticed my old stretch marks more and they had dropped some ( I had horrible stretch marks before the lift!) so with the implants I don't feel like my stretch marks are nearly as noticeable, especially the ones I had in the area between my armpit and breast... if that makes sense lol. so , I'm happier with how my stretch marks I had look now and they look better at week two then right after surgery.
What a great idea to go for the lift only in the beginning. You look great in your swimsuit but I'm guessing you'll need to get all new swimsuit tops and bras post op! Feel free to join the August 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum to see if you find a surgery buddy or two!
Ha! ;)
