WORTH IT$6,000
A long time coming... (5'2", 116lbs) I've always been small up top but before children my breast were not a major issue that I felt needing fixing right away...they were small but perky and I felt comfortable with them. Fast forward a few years and two years total of breast feeding...and now my once perky 34B's seem to have deflated and are no longer as full and perky...my 34B bras have extra space to fill, and this wasn't an issue for me in the past. I always wanted bigger breast, but was very patient bc I wanted to finish expanding our family and I wanted to make sure I could breast feed them both before I underwent breast augmentation surgery...in fear that I would no longer be able to breast feed...but now that I've fulfilled those mommy goals :) I feel it's my turn to do a little something for myself...to make me feel sexier and more confident in my own skin...and the hubby isn't complaining :) he can't wait to see the soon to be new girls! As he likes to refer to them "Fun bags" lol!

*I had my consultation on July 25th 2014....and was very impressed! I was recommended by my very good friend who had an amazing job done and awesome experience. He is an amazing surgeon and his staff is fabulous...very informative, listened to my wants/needs, beautiful/clean/organized office, made me feel extremely comfortable....I absolutely loved my experience and I was sold :)
$6,000..costly compared to other consults I've been to....but paying an extra couple thousand dollars for a top quality surgeon is truly worth it to me....and a bonus is that he does the surgery by the axillary which will cause less visible scarring, and surgery is done either in the hospital or in a surgical center affiliated with a top hospital in our area (big bonus...it's a scary thought for me to have surgery done in the back of an office)

*Surgery is scheduled for September 18th, 2014!!!! 450cc moderate Plus cohesive silicone gel, transaxillary incision, sub muscular :) I took 13 straight days off from work post surgery...Hope it's enough time to heal and start to feel a bit normal/pain free.

*Pre-Op appointment is scheduled for September 5th, 2014.

you go girl, make sure you keep wearing the band on top, so that your implants don't rise

Exciting!! How did your procedure go and your recovery? :)

Well I mean still recovering but I think I'm doing exceptionally well. I'm a hairstylist and was back to work after 5 days off and had little to no problem doing the things I do at work. My left side is higher and a little smaller praying it drops and fluffs to even out with the right side but I'm happy. Been having a few sharp pains tonight don't know what that's about. Overall though definitely not as bad as I expected it to be. How about you ?

That's great!! :) The whole experience overall for me has been awesome....I mean there was obvious pain for the first week or so...and I returned to work at day 13. Not the best idea bc I'm nurse and there's a lot of heavy lifting involved....I had limitations bc I couldn't lift more than 10 lbs-if that!...by the end of my 12hr shift I was in a lot of discomfort :( but after that day everything was smooth sailing :) They are still a bit high but I actually like them like this....my PS said they might drop a little in the next couple of months BUT if they don't :) I'll be happy either way. I had a c-section a couple years back....and my BA recovery was not nearly as bad...painful but tolerable. I'm so happy you had a nice recovery too :) I'm so happy I did this for myself..one of the best decisions I've ever made for myself ;)

HP vs Moderate plus

User Avatar

When I went to my consultation my PS stated that Mod Plus would be great in order to achieve results based on my wish photos...but now looking at the results of other Realself members...I'm liking how the HP's look :) Any thoughts????

I got HP silicone and I love them! I initially wanted mod plus but my plastic surgeon recommended that I go with HP. I wish you all the best! :)

Actually after going over all of my wish pics my surgeon said I would be happier with my results going with the HP so maybe you could try that
