I read that you had to be 21 or 22 to have silicone implants per implant companies warnings. Most PS won't do it. I'm surprised. Did he discuss that with you?
May 10, 2015
yes he did, it risks the chance of me being able to breast feed among the risk of a few other things! i turn 21 a month after the surgery :) The silicone implants he uses also come with a lifetime warranty, thats something I've never seen before so maybe they're a new implant that hes not as worried about putting in me!?

I looked into it and found out my implants are only available in canada :) that's why other countries have restrictions, these ones done!

I'm using the same surgeon as you and was quoted $9000 plus tax...did you get some sort of promo?
May 11, 2015
The currency is american, it was 9450 (canadian) with tax for me. 8 months ago it was 8250

By the way, my "wish picture" is a friend, dr chong was her surgeon! She did 375 hp silicone too and she had a push up bra in that picture but how good do those look?!?
May 11, 2015
I'm wanting a really natural look... I asked about moderate plus but both dr chong and the surgeon I saw for a 2nd opinion both recommended Hp....
I'm hoping because I'm "bigger" they'll blend in a little bit.. who knows! Anything is probably better than what i have going on now!
May 11, 2015
I think as long as you have natural breast tissue to cover, it's much easier to achieve the natural look!! I've seen lots that he's done and even though he's not overly personable, I wouldn't trust anyone else with my girls!!
May 12, 2015
I definitely don't have much tissue...but I'm broader/bigger boned than most of the girls I've seen on here...I guess it's a trade...both surgeons said I need the shape of the hp's because I have nothing going on haha

Dr chong is a boob magician. :) I got 485cc unders but with a lift. I'm 25 I've had five children :) I could t be happier with my results !

My supplies :) what else do i need!?
~Baby wipes & face wipes, surgeon recommends no shower for 48 hours D:

~laxatives, surgeon recommends senekot (hoping i dont need these)
~paper tape, surgeon highly recommends leaving incisions taped for a looong time after surgery (is this normal?)
~gravol
~bio oil
~antiseptic body wash (for pre op, prescribed by surgeon)
~a huge fluffy "boyfriend" pillow, since sleeping laying down is going to be out of the question for a while!!

A heating pad for your neck & upper back. If the implants are under the muscle you won't be able to pull your shoulders back to [RS bleep]/stand up straight & it kills your neck, shoulders & upper back. I had more surgery than you will but I also got Wisp toothbrush things. Also the paper tape is definetly recommended. It's to keep tension on the scars so the heal & stay flat. Goid luck!
May 10, 2015
Wow i didnt even think of gauze!! Awesome tips :) how often did you have to change your tape? I'll pick some more up tomorrow, amazon buys probably wouldnt get to me on time!
May 10, 2015
At first I used the tape for gauze & once the steri strips (or stitches) come off then I taped. I took showers & blow dried the tape. Once it stated falling off I took coconut oil & rubbed the rest of the tape & slowly peeled it off. I change me tape now probably every 5 days.

You need about 4 more rolls of tape. Order it from Amazon you can get a box with 8 for $10. Did you buy any gauze? You need that to put on your incisions for a little while. I responded before I looked at your picture of supplies so I went off your list & then looked at my stuff.

We have surgery on the same day. My pre op is this Thursday 14th and I'm getting nervous as now. How are you feeling? X
May 11, 2015
Thats so exciting :D I can't believe its coming in less then 2 weeks!! I'm quite nervous and anxious but I'm really excited too, how are you feeling?
May 11, 2015
Literally the same... All my friends are very excited too. I love wine and one of my friends have names them already - one Pinot and the other Shiraz... So funny. Nice to have the support though . .. I hope my pre op will give me a bit more of reassurance and that I have everything I need [RS bleep]
May 11, 2015
Awesome :D I got 2 more rolls of paper tape & 2 rolls of gauze, a shower loofah with a long reach handle and I also got different ice packs :) the ones I have there are quite heavy so I got ones I can fill myself in case the weight of the pre filled ones was too much! Did you use coconut oil for your scars? Or just as an aid to take the tape off?
And lastly what is a wisp toothbrush? Sorry for 1 billion questions haha you have awesome advise, thank god for this site
May 12, 2015
I am 6 weeks now so I use coconut oil to massage my scars & to moisturize my body. Then I will wait a little bit & use tape or the silicone scar away tape. I'm using the coconut oil & scar strips now the most. I had so many questions & concerns & was incredibly thankful to the site & the wonderful ladies that have replied & encouraged me!

Wisp toothbrushes are those little disposable plastic mini toothbrushes that don't need water or for you to spit. They are definitely not as good as a normal toothbrush but they will help if you can't get to the sink. They come in a bag similar to the dental floss plastic things lol

I just had my surgery yesterday. I made a box that sat beside me for the immediate post op. Pills with the caps opened. You wont be easily able to squueze down to open the child proof ones. I was prescribed valium, percocet and anti nausea. Also told to purchase stool softner, laxative as a last resort. I sleep on the couch with my pregnancy pillow creating a steep angle and then I slide down to about 45 degree.... it helps reduce swelling. The pills knock me out so having a litthe box close by so you don't have to reach far for a snack - you need to eat with your pills even at night cuz the will make you nauseated - is key. I had crackers and power bars but couldn't stomach them so I had my hubby get me some cold Cucumbers and fruit and bananas those hit the spot. My do also gave me compression socks to help reduce possibility of clots. A thermometer, just in case of fever. my surgery was at 5 pm and I was able to move around easier next morning at 6 am but since the pills knock me out, I am spending lots of time on the couch inclined.
