I am 5'5" 142lbs in fair to good shape. I am set to have surgery this month. My surgeon suggested under the muscle 475cc HP silicone implants with a lollipop lift. My PS suggested same size implants and will take some tissue out of my left breast to achieve better symmerty. I want to be a full C/ small D with a perky round look. I have 2 children and breastfed thus my saggy breast. Does this sound like the right plan and size implants for my body.

I am the same height/weight as you and I ended up with 425/450cc saline implants above the muscle. Before surgery I was a small B. This size implant gave me a D/DD. They were nice and perky! (This was 14 years ago/pre kids).

The silicone below the muscle will give you more natural looking breasts, less upper pole fullness. Saline above the muscle gives the perkier/fake look. You'll still get nice round, full breasts no matter which.

Hi thanks for your reply. Did you like the size they made you or did you feel like they were too big?

Not too big at all! Very proportionate with my body size. I'm actually getting a lift and new implants next week (14 years later) and going with 550cc. The 450s are very natural and soft on me. I loved them and never once regretted it.

The size sounds good to me, I am 5'4 157lbs and had 525, but they were moderate profile, they were too flat. The lift itself will give you a nice perky look and the Silicone in the HP will also give you a nice full look, the lift will definitely give you long lasting results. However you may end up larger than a D depending on your bra band size. Seeing your "wish pics" would be helpful to see the look you are going for, but I don't think 475 will be too big at all

I’m getting 450 moderate. Are you happy with yours? Do you have a bio with pics? My PS told me they wouldn’t be flat just more natural. I’m 5’2” and 127lbs. They have the mod plus that project a little more. I’m curious if I’d be happier with them. They go up like $300

I'm 5'5 171lbs 36d (but don't fill the entire cup) and I'm getting the 475cc HP silicone under muscle with crescent lift. My surgery is on Wednesday Sept 21st. I don't think they'll be too big. Depends on the look you're going for.

How did your surgery go? How's your recovery going?
User Avatar
September 26, 2016
My surgery went well, and recovery is going well too. I'm loving the results so far. It's taking some adjusting to get used to the tightness and different sensations I'm feeling in my breasts now. How about you? How are you doing?

Doing well, you're right about the tightness.. been taking showers now, but not washing over steristrips, how are you showering?
User Avatar
September 26, 2016
My dr. didn't put strips on me. He stitched with dissolvable stitches from the inside and then put like a glue over it on the outside. He told me to shower normal as often as I want. I'm still hesitant to wash over the incision itself...so I barely graze over the incision with my soapy (dial) hands. Then rinse well. I wash the rest of my body normal. Since you have the strips, I'm not sure how you should handle. What did your PS say? I feel really weird sensations like muscle spasms or something. It's almost like a fluttering or rippling sensation of some sort inside my breasts. Are you experiencing anything like that?
User Avatar
September 26, 2016
My PS doesnt want me to wash them, they can get wet but then I have dry them with blow dryer, dissolveable sutures and dermabond thats cool. You did donut lift right? I feel sharp, burning, tingy feelings that go from my ribs toward my nipples, i dnt have nipple sensation yet, do you?
User Avatar

He did a crescent/half moon lift. Just an incision across the top of my areola. You can look at my review to see pictures if you want. I feel the same...sharp, burning, tingly feelings going towards my nipples. It almost feels like my boobs are engorging and filling with milk for the first time (if you breastfed, you know what I'm talking about). If I touch my nipples directly I can feel it and it's SUPER sensitive. I try not to touch them.

Pics look good.. i haven't posted any afters yet. Glad to be talking with someone who actually had the surgery when I did. I like the lift, i have full frankenstein incisions.. but it'll be ok once they heal
User Avatar
September 26, 2016
Yeah, once the incisions heal you won't be able to notice them that well. It is nice to talk to someone that had it done the same day. Seems we're healing very similarly...feeling the same things. Keep in touch and keep me updated. I'll update as well. Happy healing!

Doing much better. Had my 1 week post op. Steristrips not ready to come off, have to wait till next week. Found perfect sports bra now I'm much more comfortable... how are you doing?

Good ! Glad to hear. I'm doing ok. Emotions have been a little raw recently. But the boobs are doing good I think. I have my post op appt next week. My left one seems to be healing faster than my right. My right one is still very sore and uncomfortable. In the right breast, the shooting pains are more like a slow constant throbbing dull aching pain now. Highly annoying. Post some pictures! I'd like to see your progress !

Post breast lift with implants

I'm 9 days post op of vertical breast lift with SRF- 485cc Inspira implants. First 5 days or so were very hard both physically and emotionally. Finally doing better now. My 1 week post op follow up went well except the steristrips were not ready to come off; that was a bummer. Saw Bambi RN at my appt she told me I was wearing the wrong type of sports bra. I couldn't stand the ones they gave me from the office (one felt too tight. The other too loose, so I went out and bought my own) Told me what kind to get and now I feel a 100% better. Hopefully steristrips will be ready for removal at week 2 follow up.

Looking great !! Love the size. Can't wait to see when you get the tape off. I'm glad you found a bra to wear. Since it's not zip up front did you find it hard to pull it over your head? Or take it off over head? Do you find that a tighter bra makes them feel better? Or having it looser feels better?
User Avatar

It is very hard getting it off and on. Takes two of us. That was the problem, things were too tight or too loose. Tight would feel good initially then I would catch myself pulling at it to release the pressure, loose ones id find myself holding my breast up bc of no support. This new one i found is just perfect, provides all the compression and support that I need. Are you wearing a sports bra?
User Avatar
October 1, 2016
Yes. I'm wearing a zip up sports bra I found at target. Before surgery I had gotten one from Walmart but there was like zero support once I had the boobs and tried it on. So I found one at target that seems to be better. I'm just wondering tho if there isn't enough compression or support in order for my right breast to still be so uncomfortable.

Things are looking better! I think you chose the best size, your breasts are already dropping. They look fabulous in the sports bra! Funny how my PS is having me wear an underwire bra 24/7 yet yours wants you to not wear individual cups!
User Avatar
October 1, 2016
That is interesting that your PS is having you wear an underwire. I have noticed that a lot of PS seem to have different opinions. It's very apparent on the questions asked on this website. Seems answers are similar but very different. Lol.

Makes me laugh too.. each PS has recommendations based on how they do their procedures. But my goodness, so many opinions on the same topic lol
User Avatar
October 1, 2016
I think that's why my PS likes even compression, even though the breast are diff size, they get compressed equally and feel supported
