Single Mom, Finished Raising my 2 Kids, Now It's my Turn - Savannah, GA

I want to first start off with my stats. I read so many reviews where I have to go to the top to read the stats. So I decided I would start mine off that way from now on.

I am 51 years young. I am 5'7 and weigh 140-145 pounds. My BWD is 11.5. On May 9th of this year, I had augmentation with 425 cc Mentor Memory gel silicone, High Profile, behind the muscle, with under the crease incision.


I think I am as accustomed to having them as I will ever be. Most of the day, I forget. I don't even think about them. But having never had breast of any size, there are moments I am very aware of my new girls.

In bed, if I roll over on my stomach, then I feel the implant and it's very uncomfortable.

I work 2 jobs and one of them is I own a cleaning business; at the end of a very long day of basically wax on/wax off exercises all day, I am sore and my nips will throb (but not in a good way ;-)).

The scars are healing but slowly and have not faded as much as I would have thought at this point.


If I lift my arms straight above my head to reach for something or like pulling the hatch closed on my SUV, I feel the implant and muscle moving and that could be because mine are behind the muscle, I don't know. It's a strange feeling.

Morning boob has been gone for several weeks. I have finished dropping and fluffing. I couldn't be more pleased with how soft they are! They feel just like breast tissue.


Just as everyone says...I can dress them up to show them off or I can dress down and no one even notices I had a boob job.

Last week a guy came into the shop and was sitting in the chair across from my desk while I filled out his ticket. He couldn't quit staring at my boobs! His eyes were all big and round and he was just about drooling, tongue hanging out and all and this was with them dressed down! First time in my life some guy stared at my boobs!!

Only you wonderful women here will appreciate this........................I LOVE LOVE seeing them in the mirror! When I'm getting dressed, it's a whole new experience!

For the first time in my life, when I walk across the parking lot, my boobs bounce!!

I love my new girls, they have had far more of an effect in my life than just bigger bras. I feel so much more confident as a woman and it shows in every area. I have no regrets.

I had my annual physical this week which included the dreaded mammogram. I was a little concerned at how this test would be performed considering you can't flatten an implant!


The tech was really nice. There was also a student observing. Both had implants so of course we talked about our size choices and which implants we went with. It made me a lot more comfortable knowing that not only was the tech experienced with implants, she also had implants!


She took 8 slides instead of 4. There were 4 "with" the implant and 4 "without". The way she did the 4 without the implant was by pushing the implant out of the way and "gathering" just breast tissue on to the glass. She explained this was much easier with silicone and with implants that are behind the muscle.


I am 4 months post op so I was concerned at the "pushing the implant out of the way" part of this. But it really was no big deal and I got to tell ya...............mammograms after a BA are nothing compared to the total flattening we go through without implants.


Before my BA, I was so very small, mammograms were painful and I was always bruised for several days afterwards. Not this time, I wasn't even sore!


I also ask her what she thought or knew about having an MRI every 3 years if you have silicone implants. Her implants are saline. She said she had done hundreds of mammograms on silicone implants and did not know of anyone having an MRI to check for ruptures. She said to of course, follow all PS instructions. But if your silicone implants are behind the muscle, the mammogram pretty much gets all the breast tissue. Another plus for going behind the muscle.


My mammogram was normal. One more milestone with implants passed.
