So Glad I Found Him! - Grand Rapids, MI

I ended up with 350cc mod plus smooth silicone. I'm 9 weeks post op and so I'm wishing I would've got the size I asked (425cc) however he said they wouldn't fit. I guess it's easy to forget what you started with tho! In my profile pic there is no padding-just underwire. I still have pains here n there, and when I move a certain way I feel like an air bubble in my rt breast.

Thank you! I left a response, but I'm new to this so it shows up on my profile...?!! Have you had a BA?

For some reason I can't see your pics...?

There are small differences, but from what I've read it's kind of decided upon based on your chest width. I'm pretty small across my chest, but my PS said "mod profile plus will give a natural look"-which it does.If I wear an actual bra, I have a lot of cleavage, I just liked the look of women in sorts bras w/cleavage! And that's why I wanted a little larger w/HP. I'm still very happy.

I would absolutely recommend the pain pumps. They are not something that you have to push a button or anything, it is on its own timer for localized numbing. I had my surgery on a Monday and they were removed on Thursday. They are very helpful especially if a person can't take pain meds or has allergies.

Thank you...u look great too! Did you have any revisions or "upgrades"?

             yes! ive had several! ive recently had a redo to go bigger 6 months ago! im loving these! no more revisions for a while! 

Thank you

I do plan on upsizing a little, not for a while. What size r yours/silicone or saline? They are GREAT!!!

             thank you 4everhappy! mind are silicone cohesive gels! 

Thank u so much, I really think that the 350-450's seem to be the best looking on cosmetic surgeries. I do wish I could've went a little bigger though! For some reason I can't see your pics :(

Ya I think they look the best too. I hear a lot of people get boobie greed. I'm hoping I don't! Ha

Are you going w/saline or silicone? And do you know what style (high profile, moderate...)? Thank you SO much for the complement, sometimes for some reason I must forget what I had and I get greedy! If you have any questions please feel free to ask-surgery is so fresh in my mind and also this is such a great website! @michellehk6

I'm getting silicone under the muscle-high profile. Im nervous the high profile will look too "fake", but I'be seen a lot of people with the hp and they look great! I hear the pain after surgery is pretty awful? How long until you felt normal again? I'm having mine 9 days before Christmas..hoping I feel okay by then.

You will be "ok" but don't over do it. It's totally worth it to take it slow, and it's an invasive surgery. Especially when you go under the muscle...why did you decide to do that way? I honestly always thought that was just "how it was". But my PS told me that pretty much everyone has been taught that way & the benefits are mostly false. If I had it to do over again-Im so glad I did subglandular. I love cleavage & another disadvantage for under the muscle is every time you move/flex/exercise-your entire boob moves! Either way tho-it's a great confidence booster & you will b so happy!! I'm excited for you! Lol

My surgeon suggested under the muscle and so did the surgeons who I consulted with. I know it's more painful surgery but they said it's a more natural result. I worried about the flexing the muscle part... Lol

@michellehk6-that's something I still don't understand is how they say it gives a more natural result-when we already know it's an obvious give away whenever you flex!? My implants feel SO real it's crazy. And I know they look natural, it makes me wonder about why they even put it under the muscle. Maybe I should've done more research-I basically went by the women I knew that already had them, & the fact that my PS is also a breast reconstruction for pt's that have breast cancer. I consider him an expert even tho he doesn't have boobs lol! I'm gonna have to ask him again about his reasoning bcuz I was so excited that maybe I missed something?!

I think it has something to do with how much tissue you already have pre ba. I don't have much at all, so if I got overs they would be more likely to show the edges of the implants and rippling. For girls who have more tissue or have Breast fed, their natural skin covers the implant better so over the muscles aren't noticeable. However I have seen overs look so normal (like yours) and unders look really fake. I think it just really depends on the surgeons comfort and opinion. My surgeon basically only does unders because he prefers it personally. So I'm going with that because it's his specialty. Your surgeon did a great job over the muscle!

My sister has them under the muscle and they look great, she has really small ones tho lol. And I agree-if the surgeon has his "way" and it works for everyone then that's what I would do too! You're gonna have a fun time buying bathing suits for next summer!! I bought 6 so far!

Victoria secret is having a huge clearance on bathing suits. 5 dollars and up! Ends today. I already bought some.. Hoping they fit my girls! Lol

I was going to ask.. What size bra are you wearing now. We are pretty close to the same size. I'm ten pounds more than you. But curious what size the implants got you to

I was a DD but since they "settled" I'm more of a 34/D. And I had 350cc mod plus. I was a B before my surgery tho. They say every 100-150cc adds 1 cup size, and that seems to be true for me.

Okay. I'm starting with an average A and 397 should get me to small D I'm hoping. I just don't want boobie greed! Lol

Then honestly I'd say go with 425's...bcuz it's almost inevitable that once they settle, you will think "if only..." I feel that way, YOU are paying so make sure your surgeon knows EXACTLY what you want!!

Thank you, I think yours are great too. I really understand how you feel about basically "getting what you paid for" though. I have seen numerous patients that were way smaller than me to start with and they got larger implants. I actually didnt want the "natural" look-yes I wanted them to FEEL natural that's why I have silicone. But now that they have "settled" I feel that the size I requested (425cc) would make them fuller. I suddenly feel like I have a great size like I always wanted, but they sag a little bcuz the implant needed to be larger. Sorry for the rant! But it's not being selfish, it's the thought of why aren't mine like the 15 other patients I see?! (Don't get me wrong-Im still SO much happier w/them!)

Wow, thank you! I'm very happy and so glad I got silicone mod plus. My sister has saline and has has one rupture, also my friend has them & they both have visible lines. I feel like mine have been there forever & I waited to save a little more. 100% worth it. Do you know what you're going to get?

Thank you, Im still trying to find shirts that I feel "comfortable" in. As for now-tank tops are my favorite!

Thank you! You look so great too! I've started to think my scars are too high tho?! My breasts are just how they should be-but the incisions seem to be above the "crease"...how long before they fade?

Yes,mine too.I was wondering how long it take!

             thank you! mine faded in 6 months!
