Hi everyone :) I am 21 years old, no kids, 5 feet 4 and 120 pounds.
It's been at least 5 years since I wanted to get a breast augmentation and I started considering it more seriously about 2 years ago. I went in for a consultation in Montreal and I decided to go with the teardrop gummy bear implants. It is a bit pricier but I think it's totally worth it. They are higher quality and look more natural too. I got high profile with 420cc (it was the biggest implant that could fit my breast). I feel that hey are really the perfect size for my body and I couldn't be more satisfied with the results.
I got out of surgery this afternoon and looked at myself for the first time at home. I was sooooooo happy you have no idea. They look better than what I expected and I really love them. They do feel heavy on my chest, especially when I lay down and I have quite some discomfort but the pain is really manageable. They feel very sore, like I had done 1000 push ups and I have to move around very slowly. They already look great, even though it's only been a couple of hours since I got out of surgery. Right now, they are swollen and rock hard. I cant wait for them to settle and see the final result but since they are textured implants, I don't think that they're gonna drop as much as smooth ones (which I dont mind because I already like their appearance).
I'm not gonna lie getting in and out of bed is a painful task and I really suggest you have a friend/boyfriend/relative with you that can take care of you at home and help you with everything (my boyfriend even washed my teeth because my arm was so weak lol).
So overall, the recovery isn't so bad and I suggest breast augmentation to anyone who isn't happy with their breast size. I also wanted to say that I really like the gummy bear implant and I highly recommend it if you plan on going with silicone. In then end, what is really going to make the difference is your surgeon. I have many girlfriends who've gotten different types of implants (saline, silicone, round and teardrop implants) and honestly they all looked good. It really is the work of the surgeon more than the type of implants that's gonna matter.
So my one advice will be to really take the time to research your surgeon until you find one that you are truly satisfied with his work.
I will be posting pictures soon :)
feel free to ask me anything

I'm so similar to you- body type/before breast/implant size and you just got me so excited for my surgery next month! Thanks so much for sharing they look amazing! No regrets right? You love your size and choice of shaped implant?
February 20, 2017
Hey Im happy my review helped :) congrats for your surgery and Im excited to see your results. On my side, I like how my breasts look but unfortunately I'm getting them redone in a week and a half. The shaped implant doesnt feel comfortable (its not mobile because its textured) and it bothers me a lot. So I'm exchanging them for the regular smooth silicone gel. I'gonna have a little bit more fullness on the upper pole but the width and the projection will basically be the same.
February 21, 2017
Oh no! I'm sorry to hear that! How does it feel/why does it feel uncomfortable?
February 22, 2017
The implant feels kinda stiff and it doesnt move. And my friend who have the regular silicone gel/or saline dont have this problem. I also would like more fullness on top.
February 25, 2017
Yours look exactly like mine i got 460cc and now wish i would have gone bigger. I also got gummy bear not sure if mine are textured or not. But mine do seperate with muscle contraction which i can not stand!
February 25, 2017
I cant stand it either !!! Omg and It makes me self conscious when im intimate with my boyfriend. If you have gummies teardrop its probably textured.
February 26, 2017
So what are you doing to get them redone? Just taking them out and going bigger? Whe do you plan on doing this and how much is it for your revision? Just curious... If i decided i wanted to go bigger later or something!
February 26, 2017
For the revision he's gonna take them out and replace rextured implants for smooth ones. The revision wasnt to make them bigger. But in order to keep the same width that I have right now, I need to go bigger because the new implant will be more narrow and I dont want a gap between my boobs. The price is 7k something... in canadian dollar
February 28, 2017
I see. Well that's awesome! I just had my tummy tuck revision surgery on tuesday! Piece of cake after the first one back in June. Lol good luck on your revision surgery when the time comes to have it done!

Hi! We have the same stats! I'm 5'4.5 and 120 pounds, active. My BWD is 13.1 what is yours? I am leaning towards either 350/375 or 375/400 round smooth mentor moderate plus silicone! Do you think yours are pretty big for your size? I'm afraid to go to 400 honestly. I wanna achieve natural look and not be top heavy.
February 26, 2017
Hey :) for the same amount of cc's teardrop implants will look smaller than round ones so I can't really say. Personnally I dont think mine look too big and they dont look huge. Whatever size that you chose there isnt a big difference between 350 and 400. Once the implants are in you it would be almost impossible to tell which is which its really a subtle size difference. For your height 400 sounds good :)

So this is what my breast look like so far. I am really happy with the size and I am a bit scared that they are going to decrease volume when the swelling goes away. They still need to fluff so hopefully the size will be about the same as now.
I am 5'4 and 120 pounds, no kids, 21 yo.
My breasts were 32B and I got 420cc teardrop gummy bear implants.
Crease incision and below the muscle.

Day 2 !! Post Op breast augmentation with Gummy bear implants
Today I woke up with a bit more pain than yesterday. My breasts feel sore and I guess it's because I laid off the painkillers last night so this morning was more brutal. My right breast has already started to soften up. Since I am left handed and I use my left arm more, I guess this is why my left breast is still very stiff and aches more than the right one. It has less sensitivity too. But I love them very much!!
I take 2 extra strong tylenols every four hours + my antibiotics + painkillers. Overall my recovery is pretty easy and I'm surprises at how mobile I am. If you want to get breast augmentation and are afraid about the recovery phase, I reassure you it isn't so bad. I was by myself from the second day and I could manage to do everything without any big difficulties. Of course, it took me more time than usual but I don't feel as disabled as I thought I would.
Anyway, I am really happy with my implants, I think they look beautiful already. I say that because pre-op I hard a hard time deciding between anatomical and round implants and I'm really happy I chose the anatomical ones. I hope this can be a good baseline for women who are still not sure whether or not they wanna go with the teardrop gummy implant.
Here are some pics of me today. I don't feel like taking the compression band off because I'm gonna have a hard time putting it back on afterwards. My breasts look a bit smaller on pictures cause when I look at them in the mirror, they look huugeee.
