36 Yr Old, 5'10" 115lbs with 270cc Mentor Mod Plus Anatomicals - Houston, TX
ORIGINAL POST
All my life I was skinny and flat and after three...
WORTH IT$7,000
All my life I was skinny and flat and after three children, even more so! After wanting to get a breath aug for 18 years, I finally decided to go through with after seeing great results from a friend of mine. I did a lot of research and finally settled on Dr. Sean Boutros in Houston. He will also being doing my orgnathic surgery in a few months, so it is nice to have already established a relationship with him and his staff. He has a great bedside manner and truly loves what he does. He also tends to err on the conservative side which was important to me as I did not want to look 'fake'. He examined me and after listening to the look I wanted, recommend the 270cc Mentor Mod Plus anatomicals in 'Tall'.
I had a lot of presurgery anxiety as I had never been put completely under and was terrified of being nauseous and vomiting upon waking up. The nurse and anesthesiologist put me at ease and assured me they would keep meds on board to prevent nausea. They brought me to the sx suite, late me down and it was lights out! I woke up to them lifting me up and saying I was all done. I was coherent enough to ask.for anti-nausea meds through my IV (even though I wasn't nauseous) and they happily obliged. They got me in a wheelchair and asked if I was in pain and I told them.no, just felt tight.
I was fine on the drive home, just dizzy and a little tired, but no pain. I didn't even really start to feel sore until late that night and the next day. The worst part for me was having to sleep reclined and on my back....it gave me excruciating back pain...however, keep in mind I refused pain meds and the muscle relaxers (I don't do well with narcotics as they tend to make me sick) so I probably made it a little harder on myself than necessary. The first 3 days were the toughest due to be sore, back pain and lack of arm mobility. I actually started driving again on day 5 (drove myself to my post op) and that ended up making me REALLY sore that afternoon and night and I also had a bunch of bruising pop up on my left side. Call my doc to make sure it was nothing to be concerned with and they had me send a pic and then assured me that it was normal, especially with as much as they had to manipulate me in surgery.
I am now about 2 and half weeks out and things are SO much better! They have started to drop some and soften, which is nice and I can now raise my arms above my head with only a slight twinge. They are also starting to feel more like a part of me and less like two rocks sitting on my chest....well, except in the morning (oh, the morning boob!). I am definitely getting excited about my final result, especially since I went to VS the other day and the only bras that fit were the 32DD (Wha...!!!).
If you are considering doing this, all I can say is 'Go for it!'....I am really starting to feel confident about my body and actually feel like a grown woman! Yay!!

Hey i saw a comment of yours on another post and Im so happy i checked your profile.
While i was looking up "shaped" inplants alot of women had negative things to say, and even tho my doctor is skilled with using them i was still nervous. But lately i have been seeing more and more women that look AMAZING!!! IM even more excited now. Getting 350cc shaped (round base) through the nipple and i cant wait!!! 11 days left :) :)

I think in the hands of a skilled surgeon with proper post op instructions, you will be fine. I wanted them because I am so skinny and wanted a very natural look. A friend of mine got almost the exact same implant and you can not even tell hers are fake and she is of a slight build also. I think you will love them! Just be patient with your results...the first couple weeks can be scary regarding shape and location. I am on day 25 and am.just now feeling like they are really dropping and taking on a more natural shape (though I still have a way to go). Good luck with your surgery and I can't wait to see your results! :)

August 29, 2015
You look great!!! I got the same implant but 440 cc and I was happy to see someone else with the mentor version! my swelling seems to be almost completely gone and I'm just waiting to soften up a bit more and see what happens with size from there. I am going to follow you and looking forward to seeing more posts!

August 31, 2015
I know what you mean about the Mentors! Seems like everyone has Sientras! My swelling went away pretty quick and they have started to drop (I'm 25 days out) and are slooowly get softer. I can't wait till they are fully dropped and feel squished with more movement. So far, I am really happy with them and I feel like they get more natural looking everyday. You look great! How do you like yours so far?

August 31, 2015
I am very happy so far with the mentors shape and size. I would say I have very little swelling at this point and I started dropping after the first week. I will be 4 weeks tomorrow and hitting the gym for the first time! I really do like the implants and the shape of them. I will be happy for some squishy-ness too lol. I think I read it takes longer with the gummy bears ? my tops are getting softer than my bottom part for sure!

Thank you! I didn't buy any bras yet and probably won't until I'm about 3 months out. They have just recently started to drop, so I want to wait till I am fully dropped and fluffed. I love them so far!! :)

Almost 4 weeks post-op!!
This coming Thursday will mark 4 weeks since my surgery and thinks have goiter so much better! I only have the occasional twinge, usually in my arm pit area if I stretch my arm to quickly. I would say 80% of the tightness feeling as gone away and I have moments of not feeling tight at all. Unfortunately, I am still getting morning boob, but it dominoes quickly once I get up and start moving around. I still sleeping on my back as I haven't found side sleeping very comfortable since I still have some bruising down the sides of my ribcage. Per doctor instructions, I have not worn a bra nor massage AT ALL. I have noticed that they have dropped some. My right has dropped a little more than my left and is starting to slowly take on a rounder shape towards the base. They have also started to get softer....mainly on the sides and the bottom, but still have a firm feel if I real grip them. Everyday has been a gradual improvement and I am still very happy with my shape, size and placement. Can't wait to see what changes the next 4 weeks bring!! :) Posted some current pics.

Glad you're seeing some gradual setting in. You look great! When do you get to start wearing bras? If you have a moment, feel free to check in on theĀ Tall Women with BAs forum to see if you can answer any newcomers questions! ;)

September 1, 2015
Glad to hear you're doing great as well! Gah....the dreaded morning boob....I think when that goes away, I will finally feel 'normal'! You are looking gorgeous!!

September 2, 2015

I have the end suture knots still sticking out. Gonna have Dr. B take it out at my next appointment. Not really liking my scars, but I have a tendency to keloid, so I will see what he says. I hear you on the working out, I started doing lower body a couple weeks, but I miss riding! And please post pics! Would love to see your results!! :)

September 3, 2015
oh my gosh! that's exactly where I had issues was the knot lol I also keloid but one scar looks great and my other one needs much improvement and they told me not to use any scar treatment . I will post tonight or tomorrow to update mine!

7 weeks post op and feeling GREAT!!
Hi everyone! I am now 7 weeks post and I am feeling so much better! Morning boob has basically stopped (woohoo!) and I have gotten the all clear from Dr. Boutros to resume normal activity. I think they have dropped as much as the are going to, but they still need to fluff and soften more. They are way softer than when I started, but are still kinda firm feeling and there is very little movement (jiggliness). Dr. B told me not to wear a bra post op and I am still not in hopes of expediting the fluffing process. I feel like they are the perfect size for me and I don't look fake. I posted some current pics and promise I will get my 'befores' up. Hope everyone is doing well!!

they look great. so natural and perfect for your body. Can't believe you're DD. The cup sizes are so confusing. I bought some wireless bras from VS in 36C and they fit great. and then today I tried 36C in a wired Angels bra and it was too small, had to go with 34D - and it freaked me out.

December 8, 2015
Your results look great! I just had 295 anatomicals and I was wondering if you felt like they got bigger after the initial swelling went down. I live the size right now but I don't want them to shrink, just light you said.

December 8, 2015
I don't really feel like they got bigger so much as they assume a more natural shape. They definitely didn't get smaller. I am almost exactly 4 months out and they look really natural and are starting to get really soft with a little more jiggle. A friend had hers done a year and a half ago and she said she noticed the biggest change around 6 months. I am in a 32D bra. I love it because I can play them up or minimize them according to what I wear without ever looking 'done'. I hope you are loving your results! I will try and post new pics. :)

December 8, 2015
That's good to know! I am liking the results but I'm only 5 days post op so I'm anxious to see the coming results of course. I too want them to look natural but also be able to play them up when I want to! Do you have any trouble getting. Good amount of cleavage with a good push-up bra at this point? It's so hard for me to tell now because they're so firm at this point.

December 8, 2015
Due to the placement of mine, I had good cleavage from the start. I really don't have much 'side boob'. They are soft enough now that I can push them together and make them touch. I think.it takes a little longer for ours to soften since they are a little firmer than regular silicone. I still have firmness towards the top/inside...but underneath and the sides feel really squishy and pretty close to natural breasts. It will seem like they will never get soft, but I really noticed it during month 3 to 4.


December 8, 2015
You are very welcome! I just posted a new pic so.you can get an idea of what they look like now. :)

Oh I bet you're going to be "dressing up" all the time with your new found curves! Congratulations, you look great! Feel free to join theĀ August 2015 breast augmentation surgery forum for some additional post op support. Update us again soon!
