Honest review!
Surgery scheduled for this Friday, 11/17/17. PreOp was Monday, 11/06/17. Looking to add more overall volume and a bit of upper pole fullness but do not want to look obnoxious. I am considered "petite" in my frame but I have been told that because my breast tissue is "focused" at the bottom of my breasts, I need a good amount of CC's to create a more round, full look overall. The doc has chosen Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch implants in the "Full" profile (comparable to HP/Style 20) in a range of 450cc to 605cc but he doesn't think he will need to go as big as 605cc. I am hoping for the most natural look possible and would go smaller if I didn't fear that smaller implants would look like two tennis balls "separated" on my chest. Because my breasts naturally fall to the side, I'm so scared of that big gap in the middle. I'm having serious second thoughts but know that's somewhat normal right before surgery. I find myself looking in the mirror trying to find a reason to stay as-is because I'm terrified of the overly-augmented look but the truth is my breasts used to be 32D & perky but at 29 and after mild weight gain/loss (20lbs) they are just not the same. I may call the doc's office tomorrow and request a smaller size/additional fitting, but with surgery scheduled this Friday it's a slim chance as they have already ordered the implants. One thing I do not love is that they don't stock all of the sizes in-house so you have to order a small range of sizes at least one week prior to surgery. I really like the doc but honestly felt confused & rushed in my consult with the P.C. and only tried sizes one time with the P.C., without the complete understanding of which profile was what and which profile I was actually trying on, and which profile would fit the parameters of my "wish" pics. And my "wish" pics weren't addressed until my pre-op apt, so it was frustrating to have to pick a size before we discussed the general look I was going for. I kept asking for clarification and did not exactly receive it until I sat with the doc in my pre-op appt. I also was taken back with the Full/High Profile choice as I was thinking Moderate or Mod+ would be ideal to fill the gap, in my non-professional opinion. But obviously I am not the expert and am trusting the pro. I'm very worried I'm going too large with too much projection and will be top-heavy or look too full. I wear a size Small & 26 in pants, and barely have a booty. I'm just second-guessing myself and am very scared I'm going too large or with the wrong type of implant. But I'm also nervous that if I go smaller, they will look too "separated"... I am trying to understand why one would choose the Soft Touch over the Responsive gel and I'm still not fully clear. I know it's personal preference but what if the Soft Touch is TOO full and they end up looking/feeling like hard beach balls? Would appreciate some encouragement, I'm doing this literally all on my own with no family/support and I'm feeling very alone and very frustrated. Thank you in advance!

Did you go over or under the muscle?
November 20, 2017
Hi! I went completely under the muscle. 560ccs in each. He gave a nerve block and I cannot feel my right breast but I have read that is quite normal for a bit especially after going big and under the muscle. My advice is set your alarm on your phone for pain meds, do not not take them the first few days. Getting behind it makes it so much worse. And eat tons of protein and as "clean" as you can. I will post a pic of the protein powder they gave me to use 2 weeks prior and 6 weeks after. PS I have an adjustable base bed and it's the best thing ever, look into it. It's worth it just to sleep better regardless of having new boobies or not! When is your surgery?
November 19, 2017
Thank you for your review! I have a consultation in January but keep going back and forth. Every time I see a good result Im convinced to go through with it. My breasts are similar to your before so it's nice to see a great looking result.
Please keep progress pics coming!!

Oh you are sweet thank you. I had a hard time finding similar before pics, as I never breast fed but looked like I did. I was never 100% set on getting them done so I understand the hesitation completely. But I kept looking in the mirror and realized they will never be the same so augmentation was the best option. You only live once, I say find a great doc and do it! Some days I felt like WTF am I doing? Then others I realized I didn't feel as confident as I once did and it's my body so I decided to go for it. I almost called the day before to cancel, so remember it's normal to have second thoughts. I will keep posting pics every day! If you have any questions don't hesitate to message me! I know it's hard!

Thank you for such an awesome response!!
I breastfed for one year but still have quite a bit of breastfeeding tissue and am currently a 34/36 C
I was also thinking about going mod. Profile as I liked the more natural look but I want upper pole fullness.
I've obsessively looked at this site but your story is closest to mine.
You have 560 cc full profile right?
It may be hard to tell now but does it feel like your carrying extra weight? Or is I barely noticeable?

No problem! Yes I have Natrelle Inspira Soft Touch 560ccs in Full profile. Comparable to High Profile. My doc said going moderate will make them too "wide" all around and appear upto my clavicle, as theoretically implants are as tall as they are wide. Once he explained it to me I better understood why he wanted Full profile. I have to scoot myself off of my bed and kind of keep my left arm/hand against my chest when I get up but otherwise they don't feel too heavy, my upper back hurts but I think that's due more to the Velcro wrap I have to keep on at the top. I feel some burning zingers in my right breast and my right breast is still numb to the touch but I've been on top of pain rx & Valium to avoid the sharp ones. They definitely feel tight but not how when I read that people wake up feeling like a bowling ball is on their chest. It could be the nerve block he did to help that but they don't feel too heavy. I will take more pics when I have help showering tonight. They are very swollen so they are pretty hard too.
November 21, 2017
yes! that makes so much sense. I imagine they'll add a little bit of weight but naturally the back will begin to make more muscle to compensate the weight. I can only imagine the swelling and I feel for you!! take care of yourself hun,
lots of rest.
I live in vancouver b.c and am going to see dr. pugash. i've heard good things from the site about him. I hope I have positive experience.
Happy healing and keep posting!!

Hi! Thank you! I'm sorry for the late reply. I stink with technology! I have seen a lot of different positive reviews for Dr. Pugash in BC on this forum, so I'm sure you'll love your results! It's good you're on here early doing research & gathering info.
I have an old friend who played on our ML Lacrosse team here in CO who is from & lives in Vancouver, actually 3 of the 4 brothers went pro & played on the same team here for years, super cool, I always would see these beautiful pictures from back home in Canada and get super jealous! Always wanted to visit, so beautiful. Total side note haha but it reminded me!
I'm so excited for you. You will love your boobies! I already am happy I did it. Just get all the goodies beforehand & you'll be golden! Take your meds on a schedule & don't skip, if you get behind the pain you'll regret it. I took Dilaudid & Valium in rotation & slept a lot which I think was the best thing to do, if you have the time & can, sleeping through the pain the first few days, by end of day 5/6 you'll be so glad you did. Of course eat & go potty & wake up to take meds & walk around a bit, but I woke up & showered the next day (quick pass-through, hair up in a bun) bc of doctors orders- after taking pain meds- then went back to bed & didn't shower for over 5 days after. Gross but it's because I was down for the count, asleep. I'd get up to go potty, do a lap around my kitchen to get the blood flowing then back to the bedroom I went. I put clean sheets on my bed & washed my duvet cover/towels/blankets the night before surgery bc I knew I'd be a dirty B for a bit.
Anyway, you'll do great, the first 3-5 days are the hardest. You'll look back at it and it will just be a blip on the screen! Good luck & yay for boobies!

Congratulations on the new boobs :)
I got mine done on 10 November and they still are little sore and have a little pain from time to time on one side. But it will get better . Hang in there

Dec 13. They are looking at 560 for me, but over muscle. I'm having a really hard time finding pics of that size with natrelle, subglandular. My doctor said I have enough tissue to make subglandular work- but curious to see what that size looks like with it. My befores are very similar to yours.

Best protein shake to use before and after surgery
This is the best protein powder to use before and after surgery to improve healing. It was part of my package with the doc but you can Google it and purchase it online too. "Mend Cosmetic". I use almonds, orange juice, water, frozen raspberries, blackberries, strawberries, 1/2 banana, blueberries, peaches. Sometimes I add green apple slices. You can use milk instead of juice or water. And whatever fruit you prefer. No sweetener needed. You want to consume as much protein as possible to help you heal. The fruit helps to go potty too!
