Just got home from my BA. So far I am absolutely in love with them!!! My doctor was amazing. Originally we were going with 550cc mod+, but she went with HP during the procedure because I already have significant "side boobage." She said mine will look like mod+ on my frame. I can't wait to to see them without bandages during my post op on Monday!

Hi,
Looks like you went for a great size. Our stats are similiar and I'm going with the moderate plus to get some width that I like. He's thinking 400-500 cc Mentor Memory gel. My surgery is May 5th and I'm super excited!!! Happy for you :-)

Yes! I was going for mod plus as well, at the last minute she chose HP because I have so much natural width, but she knows I absolutely wanted the look of mod+, she said on me, they will look mod. My post op is on Monday, when I get the bandages off, I'll post pics, and a few more before your surgery, as well! I'm so happy with everything right now, though. And Mentors are great implants - good choice!

Sounds like your surgeon made the right choice based on what you were looking for and that's awesome. I have no width right now and wanted Moderates initially but my surgeon decided on the Moderate Plus for me based on the look I wanted. It's great when you have surgeons that listen and know what's needed to achieve the look you explain to them. I bet you'll be over the moon happy with your results. I'm not looking forward to the pain and wish I could fast forward past the 1st week of post op but I suppose that wouldn't be fair. LOL. I'm also needing a capsulectomy because mine is a revision from 40+ year old implants to new bigger implants. My surgeon's not sure what he's going to find so we've discussed a few things/options but he says I will happy with the results and I trust him.

Wow 40 year old implants! I didn't know they lasted that long! What size are you current implants?

Feeling a bit tighter and more sore today than yesterday, but I feel super pretty! I'm extremely bloated, but wanted to show more of a full upper body pic so ladies with similar stats can get a better idea!

Feeling so fabulous!

I started stretching out the painkillers an extra 2 hours yesterday, woke up needing my regular dose, but the pain is definitely subsiding.

I have to wear the bandages until my post op on Monday, so until then, all of my updates will be similar.

I'm so anxious to take a shower after my post op! Does anyone know about wearing deodorant after the surgery?

I think as long as you don't get any on an open wound area it's safe. All the hype on deodorant entering the system etc. is just that hype. I've done research on it and your fine. You could also put some baking soda there instead if your being extra careful and are worried about it

Why do certain PS use surgical bras while others wrap with ace?
