I went to Dr. Szczerba in Rosemont, Illinois his is the best ever. The dr. was very nice, patient, explains everything in detail. The nurse went thru about 10 different looks with me, make sure you bring a bra of the size your thinking of it's easier and also bring a few different tops to change in so that you can check out what size best fits your needs. I went with my dr.'s choice as I trust him. He already told me don't ask for something out of the way, I will not put implants into women if they are not perfect and look good. I trust him.


I'm going w/ 550 CC Natrell Gel. I'm like a negitive A after two kids. They look awesome in the bra I brought in during my visit. If you don't feel comfy with your dr. get another one. This your body. Look at all the pics if you see alot of pic's you don't like, such as breasts that are higher then the other. Forget that dr. You have to study on line each dr.'s pic's and really investigate the whole picture, I did this for months and hours a day. If you see alot of pic's that look like crap move on to some other dr. Just so all you girls know. What you start with is what your ending up with, only bigger. When you see breast going side ways it's because your breast do that now. Remember what you start with is what you end up with only bigger true fact look at each pic you see on websits. Also that High Profile Round cup cake look, it's because our skin doesn't have enough stretch in it and you went to large. Think of what you want. I have at least 5 good pic's and 5 horrible pic's I don't want to look like after surgery. I'm showing the dr. tomorrow on my pre -op appointment. '


Good luck girls ask questions and study before and after photo's from every state and keep looking until you see a few your happy with and then bring them into the office and ask the dr. if you will look close to that photo. They do this for a living they will tell you yes or no. And also ask your dr how he feels about his name on your breasts for life. He better give you an answer such as I do not put implants into women that will not compliment her body frame. Anyone can take your money but who really cares about your look. Study girls...

Ask a ton of questions I did.

Good for you for doing so much research! That should help you get an outcome you're happy with. I hope you'll let us know how your pre-op appointment goes.

So excited for you!  Are you having surgery on a Saturday?  I can't wait to hear about your results!  550 cc sounds like a great size for you after having 2 children. :)

 

My friend just went 500 and they look really natural.

 

Are you going to upload photos at all to show your before/afters?  

 

I'll watch for your recovery posts, and congratulations!!!

Oh that's PERFECT! Then you can relax and enjoy yourself (it will be extra exciting before the big day). I actually come back from vacation the same day so we'll both be lounging. Can't wait to see the pics, Kate

Hi Everyone,
I'm home from Mexico after 12 nights... Just renewed my wedding Vow's with my awesome husband!! I'm finished with all the house work and I have a two loads of laundry left to do, but my husband said he would take care of the the last two loads when I get home. I'm very comfortable and calm at this point. Last night I was very restless as It was our last night in Mexico. I also think it had to do with all the excitement of getting home to prepare for tomorrow Oct 22nd. (The Boobie Day).

I am all showered and ready to go, my small bag is packed and waiting for us to leave in the morning. I really do not feel tired in anyway at this time as it's only 10pm in Chicago. I have to be up and ready to go by 5:30. Surgery is scheduled at 7am, I have to arrive at 6:30am for my final talk with the doctor.

I cannot tell you how long I have waited for this day to finally come. I will post before and after pictures sometime tomorrow or the following day depending on how I feel when I get home. I am very excited, not nervous at all. I've had many surgeries in the past, however not cosmetic. Talk with all of you shortly have a great day, I know I will.... Thanks all.

I'm sorry it has taken so long to respond. I was very calm thru the entire process. I will not lie, I was in pain, but.... I went with 550cc Ultra high profile. (I started off as 36 AA after having two kids that are now 25 and 23 years old). I did not have much room to breathe, meaning extra skin/tissue. The 550cc Ultra High Profile Silicone Gel implants fit perfectly as I did not go above what the specifications said. I followed the doctors orders also I stayed within the measurements. I am very happy with the 550cc Ultra high Profile Silicone Gel.

I found the first two/three days were painful for me, I actually stayed in bed with alot of pillows behind me and I watched t.v and slept pretty much for 3 days. I took the pain med's for all three days, I felt that If I slept most of the time, I would not pay attention to what needed to be done around the house. I scheduled my cleaning lady to come the next day after my surgery, so I felt that my house was spotless and there would be no worries for myself or my husband as we just landed less then 9 hours prior to surgery from Mexico for two weeks. My husband was the best ever for the last 7 days! God I have a great Man.

I was not too sure about showering so I filled the tub up with water put a towel on the side of the tub and sat down to bathe until I was able to get around on my own. It worked out well. Don't worry about your hair, really just be happy with your new breasts and forget the hair, I'm sure you'll look just fine for a few days without washing your hair. I had to sleep sitting up for 5 nights so the only thing that looked a bit messy was the back of my head and I could not see it, so I was not concerned. lol

I finally felt alot better the fourth and the fifth day, I was up and moving around, however I wanted to cook, and do other things that I knew I should not be doing so, I marched my happy self back upstairs and layed in bed with a magazine along with a few good movies.

It's now Sunday night I'm feeling great, my breast are starting to drop more into place as they are looking like beautiful breasts that all of us women have been dreaming of for years. I would also like to say I went to the hospital with a really nice well written 4 page letter to my husband. I also included another 5 pages of documents on why women go thru this and why we don't feel beautiful with our old broken down bodies after children and also with age. (My husband understood and was happy for me if this was my choice, I wanted to make sure of that). This was the nicest booklet I put together, not only for him but for myself, so that my husband would fully understand WHY.

All men say they understand and that they love us, but I wanted my husband to know that I'm doing this for me and not one other person. Believe me this booklet was better then any gift/wedding ring etc. It meant the world to me that he read this letter as I asked him to do when I went into surgery.

The love, The Lust, The whole package finally hit home and was truly a wonderful thought. I told him how much I love him, how much he means to me and how great he is not only as a husband but a provider, father and on and on, things that we tend not to say as much as we should say. The..... I love you so much along with a huge kiss and a tear in his eye made it all worth it after my recovery!

I am very happy with my choice/Doctors choice I am pain free as of today Sunday October 28th. However I'm still taking it easy, I waited a very long time for new set of breasts as I do not want anything to happen. I'm not trying to be a baby in anyway I'm just being extra careful as I am 49years old and our bodies do not bounce back as If I were in my 20's. I'm missing my workout and being active, but this is the choice I've made so I can deal with it until I'm healed.

Good luck to all of you women having surgery, I feel comfortable and sexy, and now looking forward to a tummy tuck next year.
Thanks everyone, I am trying to figure out how to post pictures so stay tuned. lol

The photos are so new!!! I am only one week Post Op. I love them. Who ever thinks ULTRA HIGH PROFILE implants look bad, you should re-think this one. My Doctor loved the look that I could Rock it out with Ultra High Profile. I can take my shirt off and belive me my breasts are not out of my arm pits and they look so good compared to High Profile. The projection is a killer catch!!! Looks amazing. I was as flat as a wall the 550cc Ultra high profile was the largest my body could handle at this time. I'm very happy and I made a fantastic choice. I'm a 36 D as of right now. But I have to give it 3 months. good luck all!!

Sexy, thanks for posting the pics, they're great. I have to ask you height & weight, the 550's fit you. I was only able to fit 500's which I am finding is perfect for me (36D for now).
