ok so i had to do some googling..looks like this is a 'mid range profile' instead of a 'high range profile.' I assume that, to compare to what I'll be getting, we would be similar. I am not getting this brand of implant but rather Mentor. I assume that they are both 194cc since that is what the card reads...thanks for this information :)

Anytime! My wishes were simply, don't want to wear a bra, look like a stripper (I am 42 and have 3 boys), and I want them back up where nature intended them on my chest! Lmao

I have been using the Scar Away silicone sheets for four weeks now and I can tell an appreciable difference! I haven't had any problems with them. I rotate between two sets, so always have a clean and dry set.
The dog ears on the end of the TT incision seem to be laying down and the scar has definitely flattened. I have only been wearing the sheets on the middle of the scar above the pubis for two weeks. That area was sensitive when I first started wearing them, so I just used them on the sides the first two weeks. I am looking forward to waxing again. Thinking of trying it first week of July when I am close to 10 wks post op. I am just a big baby and afraid of doing anything that could cause me any issues in healing!

I am thinking of trying the scar sheets on the scars from my anchor lift under my breast this week. Although the only one that really shows is where it runs from the underside of the breast to my under arm. Hubby is only one that's likely to see. Bathing suit top should cover it? But I will use them as I already purchased them and let you know how it goes!

8 weeks post op today!

Had a very busy weekend out of town with lots of walking and not a single moment of actual down time. I brought along my iPad to read, and never even unpacked it!
Thursday we walked all over Savannah sightseeing for nearly 11 hours. Friday I noticed when stretching after waking that my stomach muscle just to the right of my belly button felt strained or pulled. I have an intense burning sensation in that spot when the area is "used" or stretched, pulled, etc. Hoping this is normal?
Other than that, all good. Implants seem to be settling nicely and one scab has come off of the T spot anchor lift incision. I do have an occasional "discomfort" especially around the sides of my breasts, but guessing that's also normal. Bra shopping last week at VS has me at a 34 D, which I think is perfect for my body size of 5'4 119#. I attended a wedding this weekend with a strapless dress and wore no bra! It was quite wonderful to not need one and be completely comfortable, and of course, to look great!
I will post better pics later, but these will have to do. I am loving the Jockey bralettes. They are extremely comfortable with light support and the material is breathable in this summer heat! Feels like you are wearing nothing!
Hope everyone is doing well!

Congrats! You look great! I am 43 and a breast cancer survivor, looking to get multiple surgeries in the next several years. Breast lift is top of my list, your story is encouraging! :) Enjoy your new look :) :D

You look amazing! !! You didn't have as much loose skin or bulge as I did pre-op. ..so maybe that's why you are already so flat. And your muscle tone pre-op didn't look as bad. ...but i am definitely going to try cutting what carbs I do eat....happy healing! !
