I had my procedure done several years ago and because of nursing I feel like my boobs have lost their fullness even with the breast implants. My goal is to be a full D. I just had hernia and diastasis recti surgery a month ago using mesh. Still recovering. So I guess I'm needing advice on which implants are best for what I'm going for. I have saline now and have had no problems with them ever just want them larger. Lol! I have already been through my first consult with DR.Zoellner and am extremely excited about scheduling my surgery. Any advice is so appreciated!

My doc for my revision is Dr. Zoellner. He is amazing! His nurses were very helpful. Dr Zoellner treated me with respect and answered any question I had. I highly recommend him. He is located in Pinehurst NC.

Glad your saline implants lasted so long! Honestly, you still look great especially for having nursed. Saline is great especially for the upcoming years of getting mammograms, but silicone is very popular. Looking forward to your next journey.

@queenb20, you can find forums on the website but not quite yet via the app. Directly below the blue "Write a Review" button, there are some small grey tabs across the top of the review. Send me a Direct Message if you still need help finding them!

How was your experience breast feeding with implants? Did you have to do anything special or was it essentially plug and let baby chug? Lol
January 16, 2017
I actualy had no issues breast feeding. But i had mine done under the muscle under my breast. I had no issues with milk production or anything. I had good experiences both times. I nursed all three of my kids but i got my first set of implants after i stopped nursing my first. You should be fine. I would definitely talk with your surgeon about nursing with them though because depending on how the surgeon wants to do the surgery can make the difference on how successful nursing will be. And this is only my opinion based on my experience if you are petite and this is your first ba i would not go high on cc or hp right off the bat because i had low profile implants and 400cc with my first set and my boobs while nursing went from a 36C to 36 Ddd and then after i was done nursing i lost a lot of tissue and that's the reason i waited till i was done having kids totally to have mine re done to the size i wanted. But everyone's body is different. I would definitely talk with your surgeon about your concerns

Thanks so much for your response and 36c->>ddd sheesh! That's quite the jump. I'm definitely going to head ur advice and chat more with my doc about this during my consult. Thanks again!

You are so welcome. Lol! It was quite a jump fir me. But nit all bras are the same victoria secrets run smaller. So some brands i wear a 36 D some Dd and in VS ddd. So don't freak out when trying on bras because they all fit differently. Good luck in your surgery dear and again if you have anymore questions feel free to ask anytime
