I'm having my BA tomorrow. My PS said we are going to try 375cc-425cc's HP. I'm really torn between HP and Mod+. Has anyone preferred Mod+ but PS recommends HP? If so, what was your result, were you happy? I'm getting so excited and for some strange reason don't foresee me getting much sleep tonight. Hehe :P

@Ciao510 thank you so much. It went really well. My boobs are starting to be a little more sore now but nothing unbearable.
February 27, 2014
im at day 14 450cc silicone. high profile. keep on the meds for about 4 days and sleep as much as you can. 1 week post op is when i started the real pain. bearable pain but more irritating then anything. its when your nerves start repairing themselves. my implants dont hurt anymore but the nipple sensations drive me nuts!

Oh no! I heard about the nerves repairing and how it's kinda painful:/ does it feel like a burning sensation? One my my friends described it as if someone is snapping a rubber-band on your nipple. Ekks. Have your dropped? I feel like mine are small for 450-475! Did yours get larger?

I cannot believe how Incredible Dr. Sherman and his staff are. I completely felt comfortable. They were great!

My PS actually went with 450cc in my right and 475 in my left. When I was told this my jaw literally dropped but honestly, they don't look that huge. They look exactly how I wanted them to look. I also asked him if he thought I should do Mod+ and he said he would recommend high profile for me and so far, I love them. I'm pretty tired and will update tomorrow with a new pic.

Thank you so much!!! Hopefully it stays smooth hehe

From what I can see they look great! I am also torn between MD+ and HP. My PA recommended HP 375L 400R and I am SCARED! Was there a specific reason he recommended HP? Thanks! Denise :)

Hi Denise, I totally know how you feel. It was driving me nuts lol. When he was marking me for surgery, I asked him and the other nurses what they thought I should do and they said high profile because I'm short and if I did mod + I'd have side boobie and possible a larger gap(which I was very clear that I didn't want lol) I just trusted him and I love them! He was 100% spot on. When I get home I'll upload a naked picture of them so you can see.

Oh I'm 5 ft! I'm also down to get 450 cc silicone but I am going to ask about 475's. Do they look like a good size to you? Considering they will drop and fluff most likely?

February 27, 2014
I would go 475. I love the way mine are, I actually thought they'd be bigger hehe. I just posted a new picture without a bra. I can send you a full body one so you can get a better idea if you'd like.

i am considering BA this summer. I live in NJ. I am nervous about the pain after surgery. How was your first night.......?... Good luck with healing!...
February 27, 2014
First nite you sleep. First three days you take meds and rest. If you have kids it's equivalent to when your milk comes in. And is engorged. But pain wise. I believe there will be pain and discomfort for a good month or two. But it's tolerable pain

February 27, 2014
what concerns me also is, when can I go back to work after surgery. My job requires some liftings.
User Avatar
February 27, 2014
How much does your job require you to lift?
User Avatar
February 27, 2014
I am a nurse. I do not do heavy lifting, just helping some patients to get up....I will take 2 weeks off , will I need to stay away from work longer......? thank you all for respond. Wish you speedy recovery...so you can enjoy this summer with new hot body..LOL
User Avatar
February 28, 2014
@mamicka I think two weeks is plenty of time to take off work. As far as lifting, I believe my PS said nothing over 20lbs for the first month. You're so welcome, I appreciate you asking me. Hehe

February 28, 2014
thank you for your respond again. How you feel today? Can you do stuff around house, or is it still painful...I will schedule apoit. with PS soon, I am ready to go........ I am tall and skinny, 5 10 and I hope that I will qualify for BA cause I am too slim. Hello to Canada, I lived in Vancouver for about 12 yrs. Canadians rock!!!..lol

I feel great. I haven't been doing anything around the house. My husband and my mom are taking care of me. Yesterday I went for a little walk and when I came back I was pretty exhausted. I feel tired more than anything. Not much pain. I'm sure you will qualify for a BA and because you're so tall, they are going to look fabulous on you.

I'm in love. This overall experience has been a lot less difficult than I had originally anticipated. I don't have much pain (knock on wood) hehe. Here is a picture with out a bra, they look funny but I know it will take time for them to drop and settle.
