A much needed update!

WORTH IT$6,000
sorry I haven't posted in forever, I got so lazy. So many things have changed too after my surgery, I stopped working for someone and started my own business so I have been very busy with that.

I am 10 months post op and things have changed a lot. I still have a throbbing sensation occassionally on my left breast and we don't know what could it be, other than that everything is great. Here are some pics

Wow! Your before and after picture from your Dr looks amazing!!! Love it!!
I know right?!?! He did a good job, I love him and my boobs!
Hi, thank you for the photos. I like the way you did the comparisons. I don't think your results could have been better, probably the best I've seen! I had the same throbbing boob syndrome, but it stopped at about 6 months post op, so hopefully yours will stop soon. Thanks again!!
Thank you honey! I really am very happy with my results, it's like one of those things you see online and doubt it's real! I have noticed that the throbbing starts when I go for too long without wearing a bra, maybe they are too heavy? So to avoid it I'm trying to wear a bralette at least.
Yeah, the bralette will help. I almost never go braless, so that's probably the difference. I forgot to tell you that I'm going with Krau for my surgery! Date is set for April 20th, or sooner if they have a cancellation. I'm going with 600cc silicone.
OMG! That's great news! I can't wait to see pics, he will make you look even more beautiful because you already have a beautiful shape on your breasts.
They are perfect, very nice, you have an amazing bod! I think you and I are similar size!
Thank you :) I wear a 32DDD or 34DD
I'm a 38 Tripple D sometimes I can wear a 38 double D depending on the bra.
Looking flawless!
Thank you!
amazing results! u must be soon happy!
thank you! I really am :)

I was looking at my pictures of right after the surgery and other than being very swollen I never got Frankenboob ( thank God!) Do you see major changes?

I see better and better changes everytime. :-)
Thank you!
Hi , I think your Doctor is exceptional !! I actually haven't seen better looking boobs yet ! Not even on Doctors portfolios !! If I were you I would be ecstatically happy !!! I'm glad it all turned out so well . Wish I had your Doctor
Thank you for your kind words! :-)
Hi! The doctor only charged u 6000. I have capsular contraction and they are charging me 11,000 :-o ..
Wow! I don't know if I got lucky or your surgeon is way overpriced. I not only had a CC but the other implant had bottomed out. My PS is in my opinion the best in Florida and the results prove it. Him and his staff are very sensitive to their patients needs and concerns and the office and OR are state of the art. Maybe the prices in CA are just higher for these type of procedures. I hope you get the result you want once you get your revision whatever the cost is.
Thank you!! :) I'm thinking of getting it done hopefully next month ;) For how long have u had yours? Does it hurt to get them redone?
Hey girls !! Everyone on this page looke georgeous !! Twenty one grams, violet,!and yet to get boobs , Shellyall. Don't worry Sheelysmall I'm still waiting too. But girls did your Doctors try to discourage you from big boobs ? Because a few I consulted with did and I wonder if it's just me or the doctor ?!?? They just said it's less problems. But everyone has big boobs some doctors just do what you want but I wonder if it's gonna last in the long run.
I just got back from vacation, how have you been?

Every day is a recovery day :-)

Only 5 days ago I was getting frustrated with my healing. I have to learn to be patient! Back pain is gone completely, I still have sensitivity but not as bad so the only thing that really has not improved considerably is the pain I feel when I over extend my arms up wards. I don't know if it's a muscle or a tendon (excuse my ignorance) but it's that part between arm and boob, it gets really sore when I try on too many blouses that I have to put on over my head. I am sore right now cause I went shopping for boobie friendly clothes :-) Here are some pics!

Your boobs are beautiful they fit your body well!
Thank you!
You look fantastic. Did you get mentor 700 hp or a different brand? Cheers shelly xoxo
Hey Shelly! Thank you! You got it right....700 smooth round hp mentor
Thanks for that girl. Its good for me to know so that I can look up the dimensions. My BW was 13.9 so I'm guessing that I could probably fit those too. After a year of whinging I made the decision to go and see another doctor for a second opinion on my boobs. It was the first doc I saw before my ba and he has a heap of photos that he took of my old boobs. It will be very interesting to hear what he says. At this stage I just need some or lots of information before I decide to do anything. Hugs Shelly xoxo
You're welcome! I think you can definitely fit these. Mine was like 12.5, the ref# of my implants is 350-7004BC which it says on mentor's website are 14.8cm diameter 5.8cm projection. You may even go 800cc. I am tiny, tiny tiny and these are just perfect for me, a little more and they would've been too big. I have everything I wanted and what I didn't think I wanted lol. I have width, projection and sideboob!!
Yep they look f......g perfect to me too. I know I'll be happier if I do something instead of leaving it too long and keep wishing that I had .. which I'm sure that you will more than understand. ..goddess if patience!!!!
Also...did you have much natural boob to start with? Sorry for all the questions but it will be good to know as much as I can before I see the other doc this Wednesday!!!!!!
I think your boobs look gorgeous but it's all about what YOU want and I think you want them bigger so I would say just DO IT! I think of the 10 years I wasted with the wrong boobs and i cringe! I had no boobs before my 1st BA, I was completely flat, like boy flat! But.....I had implants for 10 years so that helped me be able to get the 700cc this time around. Please ask as much as you want, I am happy to answer all your questions.
Yep I was boy flat too. I must post my new pics the doc emailed me. It's good that I'm finally getting the guts to go and talk to another doctor about it. I guess a few girls including yourself inspire me to chase after what I really want. I love my boobs and I know that many women would be ecstatic with my results. I just wish they were bigger with a bit more projection. I don't want to wear padded push up bras all the time ...that was why I got my surgery in the first place. I don't want to be ridiculous big...just more full than I am and after your 10 year wait I'm so glad you understand. Its not a definite that I will get a revision but a bit more understanding frim another surgeon and some answers will be good. I'm sure that my right implant is off centre and falls out to the side. My original doc says no...its how I was.. even though he never talked about it before surgery. Luckily with the doc I see on wed is that he has a heap of pre ba pics so he can put it in writing if he feels that the pocket was wrongly dissected. Can't wait to hear what he says. He has already offered a revision quote of 6000 instead of 7000 that my original surgeon wants to charge me. Also if he finds any issues with my boobs I may be able to claim back some costs with my private health insurance. Interesting xoxo
I completely understand! THE BIGGEST reason I had a BA in the first place was to not use padding too......yet I had to keep on using it for 10 more years. My thoughts were exactly the same as yours and I am sure as many of other girls considering a BA or Revision, "I don't want to look like a circus freak" but I can tell you that it is better to go bigger rather than smaller, as I said it on my review minutes before my surgery....I totally chickened out and the number 700 and 800 scared the heck out of me, I am SOOOOOO glad my PS is somewhat of a Psychologist cause he knew I wanted to go big I just had gotten cold feet and he put the 700cc anyways. I would be devastated with anything less than that. I love him for that! Regarding unevenness, I had it pre-op and I embrace it as no natural boob is perfect either. I know my left nipple does not point in the same direction as the right one but I still love my breasts :-) I guess the fact that they are now BIG, soft and bouncy makes up for that.
You look awesome and helped me decide to stay with my original plan of 700cc. I'm worried about carrying the extra weight, but you have fantastic results. Our body structures are similar and my hubby was worried they would be too big (I know that is funny to hear a guy say boobs too big - never right ;) he just knows how active we are and didn't want me slowed down or complain... your pics have him feeling 700 will work on my frame, now I can't ever complain! Good luck to you!
You have either the best or tied for the best boobs (and body!) on here! Are you getting used to the weight now?
Whoa! Thank you :-) I am but I still have that pull feeling when I lay down flat on my back :-(
yep you look great! I too am 40 so I appreciate a fit 40 year old
