I just had mine done today! I think your size choice will work great, some of the ones in my wish pics were in that size range. I went with bigger only because I'm deflated and almost 5'10"
August 8, 2016
Yay congrats how is your recovert been/going?

So far so good...just laying in bed propped up," trying" to rest.... ate some soup and saltines and drinking lots of water. Just have a very heavy feeling but no actual "pain" knock on wood! Maybe like someone is standing on my chest or a vice grip lol. Swollen to my collar bones but I was prepared for that. Have taken 1 pain pills so far. Thanks. And good luck with yours! I'm a very nervous person when it comes to stuff like this and I am pleasantly surprised. If you have any questions ask away
August 8, 2016
Oh good im so glad to hear your not in excruciating pain! Im hopeful ill be the sane i can handle uncomfortable/pressure/tightness

What profile are the 375?
August 8, 2016
Moderate
User Avatar
August 8, 2016
Moderate should fill you out more so that's good. I am following a girl who got 400low profile and they look great as well and she had no tissue prior. You really want to avoid the round Ball look IMO
August 8, 2016
Exactly thats a huge fear lol
User Avatar
August 8, 2016
She is tall just as a reference , I think almost 6' so that's why she went to 400, she wanted a more natural look. Also the bigger the implant the more stress on your tissue if they aren't already deflayed. I see a lot of docs who are putting pretty big cc's in women and I just wonder what they will look like down the road but that's just my opinion lol. I worry about these things! Can you tell? Haha. But I guess a lot say they want bigger because we get use to how we look, even without boobs!

Im very nervouse and at my appointment we disgussed doing 330cc in my rt and 375cc on my left and now im second guessing that i just dont think they are 45cc diference in size im thinking maybe asking to do 350cc in rt and 375cc in left.. also im confused everyone post about mod and high profile ect.. they didnt ask me any of that and textured vs non textured so im unsure what all that means and why i didnt need to choose any of that...

I'm getting high profile, because I have a narrow chest. Imagine 3 glasses of water, one is tall, one is half as tall, and one is short, but they all hold the same volume of water. If you have a narrow chest and get low or moderate profile, you can end up with boob in your armpit. Your surgeon is thinking about profile, he may just not have mentioned it. You can ask him what profile he has in mind, they're supposed to be experts and be able to tell by your measurements and exam what will be right for you. I'm doing 325cc high profile cohesive silicone gel, and my surgery is August 4th! If you want to follow me, I'll be posting my results and my experience. You're beautiful and I know you'll love whatever you decide ☺️ Good luck! I'll be following your progress too!

Thank you so much for your advice.. yay so excited for you too and i will definately be following you good luck to you.. also im glad we are the same build it helps alot to see someone my size before and after

Also, you and I are on the exact same starting point.
User Avatar
August 1, 2016
I went with moderate profile because I chose less cc's. I would have had to go with high profile if I wanted anything bigger to avoid the armpit boob. i told my ps i wanted natural and proportionate, and thats definitely what I got! (32D/C depending on bra brand) he said if i had chosen high profile with my tiny frame they would have been obviously fake. trust your ps, but dont be afraid to ask questions! it's your body, and your money :) look forward to seeing your results!

Textured seems to be used more for a 2nd BA or history of of capsular contracture
User Avatar

I agree with the size difference... I can't even tell so would be very dubious using different sizes? Don't worry on size they never feel or look as big as we think they will! And you get used to the size very quickly which makes them feel smaller than they probably are! I'm 9 days post op with 450 mod plus from a 34a and worried too-shouldnt have! Hope all goes well for you.

Thanks i hope your recovery has been good

It's been good...better than I imagined... I've also got children and compare the 1St day to that of your milk coming in after having a baby if you've experienced that! The incisions I found didn't actually hurt, keep on top of pain meds, don't be brave! By day four I was off the heavy meds and by day 6 off all of them. The worst bit I found was having the drains removed and the muscle spasms. Gel ice packs are a big help with swelling, spasms, morning boob(when the muscle tightens up in the morning). Bio oil or coconut oil for massaging into the skin is good too. Good luck!
August 8, 2016
Thanks for the advise i wont have drain tubes so hopefully that is a plus???buy yes i have had the milk coming in pain and i gad mastitis once and that was pretty painful

have you picked up all your post op needs? if you usually get sick with medications I would pick up some Gravol or something. also make sure to have a couple ice packs, I grabbed some benedryl as well, helped with the itchy tape/helped me sleep. my PS also suggested a stool softner, because pain meds often make you constipated and thats not a nice feeling to have along with the aches and tenderness and perhaps lack of sleep you'll be feeling! pick up a couple plain sports bras if you don't have any now, you're gonna want to be able to change out of the surgical bra they send you home in. no push up and no padding. just a typical plain sport bra (thats what my ps suggested). Thats all I can think of at the moment. just be sure to take that first bit very easy!
August 1, 2016
Thanks for the suggestions i will look into the gravol for sure. I talked to the nurse about me getting sick on pain meds and she says we are going to try tramadol because its a little less strong than hydro or oxy ect. But more strength than tylonol so fingers crossed i can handle it! I will also look into some sports bra options just not sure what size i should look at..also true or not true.. a girl i know tbat has them said "things people dont tell you" ill need someone to wipe my butt lol... uhhhh is it really that terrible..ive had two babys ect
User Avatar
August 1, 2016
One of my friends who had hers done said she had to get her hubby to wipe hers! but honestly, I never had that problem. everyone is different though, and Im assuming people who go with more ccs probably have a little bit more pain than what I went through. I 100% thought it would be worse than it was! as for the sports bra size, find one thats stretchy. i found a couple from walmart that could stretch to fit a 34 chest and im a 32. I just bought them cheap incase they didnt work out, but they were stretchy so they did :) something you could ask your ps, he'd probably know if you needed to grab a size up or not.

I'm 2 days post op and I'm ok to type. You should be fine. Now stuff like flushing the toilet, opening the fridge etc is hard for me....good luck! And I didn't have any nausea, hope the tramadol works for you though

I've had two sets of implants. My first in California second at billings plastic surgery last year.
I had to hire a nanny for a month because I couldn't lift my baby. But I was in a lot of pain the first time for about 2 months. It was barable but I felt pain everyday. The first 2 weeks are the worst. Your not going very large however. Honestly I would recommend going larger you are going to regret it
August 12, 2016
Got them yesterday and so far i think this size will look good with my body size

I totally didn't see that you had already had them done before I left a comment but I'm glad you are happy with size and hope you are feeling well.
