Best Decision Ever! 250 & 275cc Mentor Silicone Moderate Plus Profile - Dallas, TX
ORIGINAL POST
I started at a 32A and am now a 32C. My dream...
WORTH IT$6,300
I started at a 32A and am now a 32C. My dream size! I've always wanted breasts but I was scared of having the fake look, so I wanted to go with a smaller more natural looking implant. Dr. Antonetti and I decided to go with 250cc on my left larger breast and 275cc on my right smaller breast moderate plus profile. I had never had surgery before so I was absolutely terrified but as soon as I go to the surgery center everyone made me feel so comfortable. I woke up from anesthesia and felt a little pain so the nurse put something in my IV and gave me a Vicodin. I was only nauseous for about 5 minutes when I got up to leave but that went away pretty quickly. The pain wasn't too bad. It was more of an annoyance than anything else and I had set an alarm to take my meds every 4 hours. I was up and walking around the day of surgery and I went on a full day shopping trip 3 days after. It's been 6 days and I'm no longer taking any pain medication. My incisions are tiny!!! I still have the steri strips on them but I saw them at my post op and it's just a little line less than an inch long. He is also going to laser them once it heals. I am soooo happy with the results and they haven't even dropped yet! I will be posting more pictures as the time goes by and they drop.

Everything has been running smoothly. The swelling has gone down and my implants have settled a bit. The only irritating thing is that my nipples hurt. I never really realized they were there until I could literally feel them rubbing up against my bra. It seems to be getting better though.

My nipples went crazy sensitive (like I didn't want ANYTHING to touch them sensitive) somewhere around the 3 week mark and stayed that way for around 10 days or so, then they calmed down to normal sensitive. You are looking amazing for 17 days out!!!
January 11, 2016
Well it's good to know it goes back to normal! Thank you :) I love my new girls :P

Yes mine are under the muscle. Hope your surgery goes well and that you have a quick recovery!

In the end I got 325gr full profile, the surgeon decided that this size looked best! Now that I see yours I think maybe he overdid just a little..even though I'm happy with my results.
How are you doing so far?

So far so good. They're a little further apart than I'd like but I they're still settling in so hopefully that will change. Glad your surgery went well! :)

They were really hard for about 2 weeks. It's almost been 7 weeks and they're in between soft and hard. Definitely not soft though.
February 8, 2016
i'm over 3 weeks and mine are still hard..sometimes I worry they'll stay that way! Also I've got mondor chords now, so I feel a little upset at times...
I also feel mine are a little too far apart.
Have yours improved?

Ok I'm only 4 days out and I got the exact same ccs as you. Mine feel like giant bricks . And I'm hoping they will get smaller after a bit .
February 8, 2016
What are Mondor chords? I feel like mine are still pretty far apart but they've definitely gotten softer. I also have this dent in my "cleavage" when I push them together but my dr said that its because I'm too skinny there and if it doesn't go away he will inject some fat around it.

They'll get smaller after the swelling goes down. Unfortunately for me I liked how they looked when they were swollen cause they looked closer together. Now that the swelling has gone down they look far apart. They'll definitely get softer with time if you massage them. Mine are finally starting to jiggle.

mondor chords are like strings under the incision (in my case mostly on the right) but apparently they are veins sticking out a bit and pulling. They said that sometimes it happens (I read some reviews here luckily so I didn't panic!) and they should hopefully dissapear in a few weeks. My right breast feels really hard and pulling in the last two days! hope it improves!!
February 9, 2016
When I say hard , I mean really hard? Is that the norm? I feel like that's all I can focus on
February 9, 2016
It's cause you're only a few days out. They get softer. Apparently not as fast as I thought they would but they definitely soften up. Did you get silicone?
February 10, 2016
Yes I did. And I feel like when I get up and walk my boob will like cramp and tighten really hard. I'm 6 days out now and I haven't seen anyone else say theirs did this.
