Part 2 Revision- Lift with implant replacement

Thanks! I use the little cheap ones from Walmart. No boundaries is the brand. They have small pads in them that I move to the outer edges of the bandeau to add light pressure to help push the implants closer while settling into place.

Cool. I don't need that tho. I have cleavage 24/7. Don't know if that's a blessing or a curse;)

My mini was fabulous!! Very little recovery time and FLAT!

You look fabulous!! Can't wait until I'm able to do! :)

I was supposed to have a mini. I was 126 the day of surgery. I'm 5'7. He said that I'd be happier with a full TT to avoid dog ears and weird belly button. At 8 weeks out, I would NEVER suggest a slim woman to have a TT. It's not worth it. I had 5 little stretch marks bellow my belly button and maybe 2 inches of excess skin. I was still able wear bikinis even! Not low ones though. I may feel differently a year from now but at this stage, it's not worth the money, scar, downtime and the damage that it does to the lymphatic system and this is IF all goes well. I had a 24-25 inch waist day of surgery. I'm 126 pounds today and my waist is 26 inches 8 weeks PO!!!! WTH!!! It should be like 23-24 inches. The swelling takes forever to go away for good. I do love my boobs though. Thanks!

I guess it's different for everyone. My waist is an inch smaller and tummy flatter. No dog Ears here :) recovery time? About.... 12 days. Would do it all over again!!

But I had a MINI :)

Thank you for the feed back!!! You bring up really good points! I never even thought of those!

They /boobs do look great! :)

A mini was what I planned for. I was not expecting a full TT. I will say that I am stretch mark free. There is not a spot in sight besides the scar of course. When he pulled on my tummy and I saw my belly button form this semi hood ( sort of pulled down look), I agreed that I did NOT want that if I were going to go through with it and he said it tends to look bad as time and skin relaxes. He did do an amazing job with my belly button. Looks just like an all natural gorgeous deep belly button. Just in a new location. Again, a mini would've been a much much easier recovery but alas, I'm still in that "funky stage" and hopefully it's just that. A stage. If I end up with a waist close to 20-21 then I might rate a full TT worth it but for now, no. Not for thin girls with little belly or skin. Now if you're a big girl, yes!!! Please do proceed....with caution.

Thanks!

Haha.. I get it. I was/is a small girl... And went with a mini mostly for the purpose of a quick recovery :)

They are closer but not as close as I'd like. I'm wearing support bras with padding on the sides to try to apply pressure to the breast to move them closer while healing. I read that this can work while in the early stage. I hope so!

Good luck. Lee me posted. I'm looking into a revision for that reason. Heard a lot of it is yor own anatomy.

Thanks Shelly. I am much much happier with the increase in size.

Yep..bet you are! I did have 650cc hp in mind but your 700s look fab so when I eventually go for my upgrade might see if I can squeeze in that extra 50cc lol!!Xoxo

Good question. I'm not sure. I did get fitted at VS which some say run small but I found the 32" band not as snug as I'd like. Even at it's smallest point. I've gotten a much better fit with 30" and some 28" bands. 30 is a better fit now as I'm still slightly swollen from TT and minor lipo to flanks. I think that you'll love 500cc's. Urge your doctor to go a little bigger if you can handle it. Your money and body! It's not like these surgeons are doing charity work! It does make a difference! Best wishes doll. Keep us posted!

They are high profile, saline and under the muscle. Happy with the boobs. Struggling with the tummy, drains and swelling though :-(.

Thank you!

Prune juice!

Shelly, I'm finally happy with the size! I would've never thought of going anywhere near 600 let alone 700 but it works! Shocking really! I tried several senna pills (10 over 3 days), finally worked this morning. Thank goodness!

To finally give "birth" was great! Haha. I am very happy with my size finally!

Saline was my choice. I just feel safer with them. You can get a smaller scar and they can adjust the volume on the spot. Many love silicone though. I'm happy with saline.

Okay and did he insert anything by the name of an 'internal bra'? I've heard it's good to have with large implants? what bra size are you now?

Well I'm only 2 weeks post op plus TT. Getting sized for a bra is the furthest from my mind at this stage. They are not that large actually. At least they don't feel that way to me. I'm 5'7 and they fit my frame. I'd imagine that I'm a 30 DDD at this point. Well after my swelling goes down. I'll check in another 3 weeks. No internal bra.

Maybe the reason my gf got the internal bra is because she's 1050ccs :)) i just got my boob job last week, 450 CC's, tried on a bra today (36C), and will be getting them redone within 6 months. This is ridiculous. :(

1050 is huge! Wow! However I've seen some girls pull the look off without looking over the top. I sympathize with you because I really wanted fuller breast but dreaded going under yet again. Just insist on what you want the next time and don't let anyone talk you out of it. Your body. I'm happy that your gathering info in order to make the best decision for you on your final go around! Good luck honey!

Thank you!!

one last question.. how soon can i get the revision done?!?!? :))

They recommend 6 months. Honestly, that's when I was able to see the full results. I started to like them actually but that was when I started looking at a TT and decided you know what, I'm going to just get what I really want regarding the boobs. I will say that lots of blouses and jackets fit soo much better with the prior boobs. I don't know how those things will fit now. New wardrobe!?! Anyways, I'd give it at least 6 months. That'll give you enough time to decide on size, profile and silicone vs saline. I'm more than happy to answer any questions I can.

Thanks! I just know that I wanted to be at least a D and I'm a C before and after.... I doubt that I will go up a while size between now and 6 months. :((
