I had a child young. I wanted my body back. I knew that the only cons to this were medical...Which I have had quite extensive experience in. I knew that the pros far outweighed the cons, and nothing was going to get in my way.
When I finally decided to go through with what I had been planning since my son was born; all of the research and time spent dreaming, I decided to take the plunge (literally, I can wear plunge tops again!!)

Nancy, What do you mean by a flex muscle deformity? Did the surgeon damage your natural tissue and it changed when you flex? If so, that is pretty normal from what I've seen. Did they offer you a revision?

I'd love to add your review to the community but before I do that, could you tell us what type and size implants you got and perhaps a few details about your recovery? Thank you for sharing with us on RealSelf! P.S. Looking forward to your pictures!

Beth, I had Dr. Brahme us 650cc Mentor, HP, Textured, Silicone implants. I had an old review posted about my surgery and recovery but my images ended up on Google Images and Unfortunately, In the middle of a court battle, having exposed pictures available to the public was NOT good. So once the battle is complete, I will be happy to post some (censored) images, too! I will Edit the post with updates on recovery, this evening:)

The details about your implants is enough information for me to put your review into the community. No worries about the pictures right now. ;) Next time you update your review, be sure to include your implant type and size (again,) as sometimes these helpful details get lost in the comments below your review. Take care!

As requested:

Dr. Brahme and I decided on 650cc Silicone Textured "Gummy-Bear" Implants.

I am not entirely sure about the placement, however I am SO happy about how they have settled.

I have to say, buying bras is and isn't more fun! I'll tell you why...
It makes me smile when I know that Victoria's secrent DOESNT have my bra size...but at the same time..Victoria's secret does not have my bra size!!! I used to love their bras!

All's well, though. They have healed wonderfully and I have VERY minimal scarring. Barely noticeable at all!

I would love to see your pictures before and after. I'm thinking of getting between 650-800 cc I'm 5'9" and 180 pounds and not sure what size. My surgery is August 24..

I keep forgetting to post pictures! Ill have to do that ASAP!

Ill do my best to remember tonight! :)

Depending on your shoulder width and anatomy, I would honestly ask the surgeon what they recommend. I WAS going to get 800cc but he said that would REALLY push it..and im glad I listened. The 650 was WAY enough for me lol
