31 Years Old, 5'5 and 124 Lbs. Ideal Implants

Thank you!! Yes, making the decision is so hard! For me, it was Ideal Implant, or nothing at all. My husband wasn't comfortable with the idea of silicone. That being said, I am very happy with my result. I love knowing that if one leaks, I will know. They look natural and feel VERY soft. If I push on them just the right way, I *can* feel a little bubble feeling sometimes...but that could be because we didn't overfill OR it could be that the pocket it still settling? It isn't really noticeable and doesn't bother me. I never thought in a million years that I would have a BA. I wasn't against it, it just never crossed my mind and I didn't think I would ever want it bad enough to do it. After my last baby weaned a year ago, I started to really miss feeling feminine. I saw a few people that I knew have augmentations and thought, "why not me?" I can tell you that since doing this, I have felt feminine again and confident. I hope this helps in some way! :)

Thank you so much for your reply! That is exactly how I feel right now- miss feeling feminine after breastfeeding has literally taken them all lol. I hate putting on bathing suites etc. I also am set on Ideal or nothing. I think I'm most nervous about the recovery w the kids (2 and 4) and if I wouldn't recover quick for some reason. Would you say it was ok as far as that goes? I know the first couple days will be rough. Also, I'm very active now running and lifting so taking a break there will be tough too. I had my consultation and am so close to pulling the trigger w my deposit! Lol. Thanks again!

Also, are you happy with your size?

Hi Jens0216, I had my op on Aug 2nd with Ideal Implants 270 filled up to 305cc. Macie84 was a great motivator with her beautiful results :) so may I please help you along with her? I need to post new photos but check out the one I have & my before. My recovery has been so easy, I truly believe smaller implants stretch muscles & skin less & hence you can heal faster. Let me know if I can answer some of your queations too :)

Thank you Tuba7! Glad to hear your surgery went well and your recovery is going good! Can't wait to see more pics of your results. Are u happy with the size so far? I think I am a little smaller than your pre. I def lost everything after the kids. I am def leaning towards going through with the Ideal. You guys are helping my confidence!

What is your bwd? Can you post a photo or inbox them to me? I did excessive hours of online research on sizing & implant type & profile, even exchanged direct emails with Ideal Implant CEO & the genius behind the design!
Absolutely happy with my size & implant type so far. I wanted full but still small breast like the time I was breast feeding! Didn't want anyone to know except my husband. With all due respect towards big boobs lovers, I find small/firm breasts sexy & classier. Just my taste. Started with 255 silicone for sizing but ended up with 305 Ideal & they are perfect for me :) massage on my page if you want, not sure if everyone gets annoyed but notifications for you & I talking!

Yes, I was really nervous about the recovery. I have a 2 and 4 year old as well and my 2 year old doesn't sleep through the night yet. :/ It wasn't too bad though! I had my surgery on a Friday (my parents live fairly close and picked my littles up that morning) and they stayed the weekend with them so that my husband could take care of me and that they didn't see me in the hardest part of recovery. They came home after 3 nights. My husband took that Monday off to help take care of them and would get up in the night with my littlest one for the first week. My parents came over during the day to "visit" and help out. If you can get through that first week with someone helping you, you will be just fine! I wasn't hurting that bad after the first 48 hours (that's the worst, or was for me), but I wanted to be REALLY careful to not do anything I wasn't supposed to, like lifting anything too heavy, so that I didn't mess up the pocket of the implant. So having people around that first week for me was just a precaution. I actually had my inlaws stop by like 5 days post op and they had NO idea and still don't! ;) The worst part of doing with with little ones is when they want to get in your lap and their little elbows jab you...you have to be careful with that! I knew that if I was going to do it, I wanted it to be when my babies were young so that they didn't really notice, you know? So it was now or never.

Yes, definitely! I mean, SOMETIMES I think I could have went just a little bigger...like 320 or so...but those 20 cc's wouldn't make a difference and this size suits me I think! It is believable for my body size, so it doesn't attract any attention, but it is WAY more than I had. :) I was terrified of being too big and it being noticeable. I wanted a natural look and that's exactly what 300 cc's got me!

Aw, thanks Tuba7!! I'm so glad I could help! I agree that a smaller implants helps to have an easier recovery! So happy you are feeling well!

Thank you Macie84! It is great to meet my new boobs' sisters here! There aren't many Ideal 300ish around & it is always helpful to get advice from people with similar base/goals.
Still hoping to look as good as u! U had very cute small breasts & that matters. I have more miles on me ;)

Yay! I'm so excited for you!!! :) I think that was the hardest part- calling to make the appointment for surgery and paying the deposit. My husband wanted it to be 100% my decision (he was happy with me before and would NEVER ask me to do it, but supported me either way), but I'm so used to making all big decisions together. It was hard! I read where one lady said her husband must have read a book on etiquette if your wife is considering breast implants and I got so tickled. I felt the same way. He was always and still is, so careful about how he discusses it. He's a sweetheart. :)

Oh! One thing my doctor suggested to aid in recovery and just general breast pain was Vitamin E oral supplements. I was still pretty tender 6 weeks out (in places) and so I started taking them once a day and it made a BIG difference for me. I still take them. Maybe ask your doctor about it?

I seriously feel like we have the exact same scenario! Lol. My husband has been the EXACT same way! I also never spend a lot of money on myself so all in all it was very hard to pull the trigger! But I feel like I do deserve something for myself and just was dreading going another summer hating myself in a bathing suit.

Thanks for the tip on the vitamin E... I will def ask about that! Do u feel any pain now? When did u get off pain meds?

Day 3 post op was my last day on pain meds, after that I just took tylenol whenever I needed it! I had soreness/acheness on and off for the first few weeks...like if I over did it during the day cleaning OR if I forgot and used my arms (which used my pecs) to get up off the bed or floor. I noticed I was "tender" for a couple of days afterwards. I don't have any pain at all now. I am still protective of them though and try to be careful...I'm sure it isn't necessary and someday I won't even think about them. I just spent those first 6 weeks being SO cautious, that it is hard to let that go! lol My doctor said that the pocket can move for up to a year, so maybe after that I will relax a little more?
I had not bought a swimsuit in probably a least 5 years, but this year I bought several. :) And I have never cared about bra/underwear shopping , but it is actually fun and exciting now...especially since I had to get all new ones!

Ok great to know! That's how I have been with bathing suits and bras- just hate it. So I'm looking forward to that! Your a 32 DD now?

Yes ma'am! I can wear a 34C or 32 DD. :)

GOOD LUCK

Thank you so much!! I think I'm going to tell him 300 cc for sure! How do you feel at 3 weeks?

I'm 4 weeks now and feel great! No pain and can finally sleep on my side. What did you end up with for cc's?

P.s, your result looks great! I hope your happy with the size.

Thank you Sfmomof4! Sizing has been such a hard decision!
