Ommmmmgggg they look sooo natural and gorgeous! What Doctor did you use? Detail? How many cc's?
July 28, 2016
This made my night! Thank you! :) 300 cc's!
July 28, 2016
Ignore my question I realized you have another post (not connected to this one) and you mentioned the doctor. Did you meet with Dr, Deuber? What was you take on him? I should meet with Lester too!
July 28, 2016
Thank you so much!! :) I did not meet with Dr. Deuber. There were so many in the metroplex! My husband and I looked at lots of before and afters and picked out out favorite 3 doctors...out of those, Dr. Lester has been doing the Ideal Implants the longest and seemed to be the biggest fan of them. I loved how natural his results looked as well! I really liked him- he is very down to Earth and funny, which made me feel comfortable.

They look perfect! I know you went with 300ccs but did you get moderate or high profile? I'm scared of going too big! My PS recommended 525-575 ccs, trying not to freak out, I am 5'10" though.

Thank you!! With the ideal implants, there aren't different profiles.... Just one. I think it is a higher profile. I had told my PS that I wanted to have more shape in my upper pole (I lost it all after breastfeeding) but not the round implant look. He thought that this would be a perfect fit. I love that it filled out my breast, but still had a natural shape and slope. Cc's look different on everyone! I have really small and narrow shoulders/chest.... Also I'm only 5'5". I had that same fear though! Good luck!! Let me know if you have any other questions! :)

Did you get under or over the muscles?
July 22, 2017
I just got the ideal implant with 400cc I am 5'9" and 145 I just wanted a natural look, to help me fill out my tops and match my hips. I am Day 12 post op and your posts helped so much. I really appreciate it, I am happy with how they look so far and am trying to be patient with the healing process.

Hello all! Just wanted to share an update. I am feeling great! I've started using the Scar Away strips to help fade my scars. I'm looking forward to them being less visible. My nipple sensitivity has gotten much better now, however I'm still numb on the lower part of my breasts. They have gotten incredibly soft and are settled. I prefer to sleep with a bra on at night and sleep on my back or side. Sometimes if I sleep wrong (maybe too much on my breasts), they can be sore the next day. Also, one of my incisions still feels tender sometimes. Anyway, just wanted to update! Still love them and so happy I did it. I can get a little obsessive sometimes and worry about if they are symmetrical enough, if they look okay, etc.....but there weren't before my augmentation, and that is where having realistic expectations plays an important role. :)

Flawless :)

Thank you Tuba7!!! :) You guys are so nice! I wish you the best of luck next week! I'll be following your posts to see how it goes. Those first 2 days are the most difficult, after that it gets much better!
July 28, 2016
Thank you for wishing me well Macie84. Feels so good to have support like this. My immediate worry is results & then complications. Just hope none of us are in that 4-5% in need of a revision under 2-3 years. Lots of love & great wishes to u all
July 28, 2016
I agree with Tuba7 ⬆️ best I've seen on here
July 28, 2016
Thanks Lovelove91! My op is next week, hoping I get similar results & share photos here :)

Just wondering, can you feel the implant edge at all along the bottom near your inframammary fold? I just got IDEAL implants same size and I can feel the edges which is a bit unsettling
June 10, 2017
Hi there! I don't really notice any edges on mine at a normal stance. If I lean way forward, I can feel them.
July 21, 2017
They look so great! I'm curious: How does the Ideal Implant feel? Do you think it really feels like breast tissue? Or did you think cohesive gel silicone implants felt more natural? (That is, if you gave both a "squeeze test" before having your surgery.)

I’m going to be getting Ideal later this year and at my consultation I felt the Ideal compared to a traditional saline and I was extremely impressed with Ideal. It felt so much more substantial than plain old saline. I’m struggling for words at the moment but if traditional saline felt like water in a sandwich baggie, Ideal felt like homemade “slime” in three sandwich baggies. It absolutely felt so much better than traditional saline. I can’t say how it compares to silicone, but I know that the Ideal implant is what I want and it’s what I’ll be getting. Not sure if this is too late to be helpful, but maybe someone new passing through will appreciate the analogy. :-) It really does feel a lot like natural breast tissue.

You look great perfect size for your body. When did you feel like your implants softened up? I am at 10 days post op and mine are still so hard
June 25, 2016
Congratulations!! And thank you!! I think my started softening around 3 weeks post op.... that's when I really noticed a difference in how they felt. How many cc's did you end up going with?

Well hopefully in another week or two they will loosen up. I got 450 and 475 one was bigger than the other and I have a very broad chest. So I am hoping the final result will look nice but not crazy big. I have seen so many pics on this sight and I just really like the more natural looking ones . I don't like the huge look or the round baseball look but everybody is different in what they want. I just had lil boobies and wanted a littke volume to look good in dresses and cute tops. Good luck on your recovery and enjoy them new boobs
July 23, 2016
Just gorgeous! Perfect and not to big and fake looking
July 23, 2016
Thank you so much Lovelove91! :) I really do love them.
July 23, 2016
I'm don't live in Dallas but looking to get the same exact look with the ideal implant. I have a consult with Dr Deuber.
January 16, 2018
