Surgery scheduled for 8/9/16. But as of tonight i havent decided on what im doing. Breast lift with implants or without. My os sorta shows through his body language id look better with small implants . If i did an implant id want it no more than 300 just to fill out the top and roundness and cleavage.
However intially i didnt want any inplant just a lift.
I just want to be satisfied with my result. I dont want to look boxy and too flat like some lift only procedures end up like.
I need helo deciding. Im currently a 34c/d but the ps says the larger breast will have to be reduced etc. So i think i may need to get the silicone.
I just wish I knew how id look with and without lol.

Dr. Hamwii made me feel comfortable immediately. I booked my surgery after my first consultation. We had many consultations over a 1 month period. We spoke and discussed things over and over. He did a great job and is very meticulous and went out of his way to make me feel confident in his care.

I initially was considering the same things, but I realized that since I have no breast tissue on the top I have to get an implant to get upper pole fullness. I told my ps that I don't want bigger boobs and he assured me that he would be taking out plenty of skin and breast tissue on the bottom so they wouldn't be bigger, but just look normal.

Thats is what mine said too. That he will be removing like 100 cc's or more. When are you scheduled?

Silicone is a good choice lighter and feel more natural.I have 750cc put in I had excess skin so thats with what she went with told her I didnt want bottoming out with the implants,or sliding down.Went with smooth also texture they are warantied 10 years.

I recently got mine 2 weeks ago. I got a lift with implants. When i first went to my consult 6 months ago i just wanted a lift. But my DR explained that it wouldnt give me back that fullnes. He recommended a larger implant (500cc) over the muscle which would have given me a minor lift, but I decided to do the actual lift with implants (450cc) under the muscle. I too lost my cleavage with 2 children and wanted to get that back.

Wow 450 what size would you say you are now? I hope the 200 I'm getting isn't too conservative. I honestly don't know what I want so confusing. Lol

Im 5'8 180 . Athletic build. So its all in what you feel you can deal with. I was a 36c. I haven't been measured yet but i may be a D or DD now. Which is fine with me, i dont want to ne super huge. Just wanting the fullness back. Have you tried on 400cc? I would try it on with the surgical bras they have and then put your shirt on just to get an idea.

No the largest I tried was 250. I read while getting a lift smaller implants work best. Also my ps said 100cc is a cup size. So I figured if he removes 100 of tissue then adds 250 I'll be a rounder fuller version of what I am on the bigger breast 34d.
Am I wrong?

That waist I heard but I guess everyone is different.. It's the look you want I want full look and side boob

I'd say get the implants. I had a lift with implants and im really happy with them. We have a similar build so perhaps looking at my before and after may help you decide either way.

I paid yesterday and it's feeling super real now. I/ we decided on a small implant along with my lift. It will be a natrelle textured moderate or low implant somewhere in the 200-300 range.
Im currently a c/d so i really just want them round and full would like to stay a D . My base measured 12cm so according to the chart 200 may be too small...we will see.
As far as prepping, im doing as much as I can around the house. Hubby is off next week to take care of me. After that ill have to figure it out. I dont really have a support system for this because im not telling anyone. No one in my family would support it. I dont know what to tell my 12 year old daughter either. Was thinking just to say i have the flu. Lol.

You don't have much longer!! Best of luck!
I think it's tough deciding who to tell and what to say.

Felt the same way. Now I'd tell a stranger in a public bathroom. Just tell who your comfortable with telling. You're going with a small implant so honestly most people won't notice or think you've just got a good push up on.

I saw my mother yesterday aND she didn't notice. Lol. So yes you're right. But when the bra is off the difference is crazy. No more flopping, or tucking my boobs in my bra. Makes ny stomach look better since they are not hanging down my stomach

How did your surgery go? Are you feeling ok? It's was a tough recovery for me only because I'm so intolerant to pain. I only needed the lift due to going from a small b to ddd with my first augment at 575cc. It sounds you made the best rescission for you. Don't worry and should care about anyone judging you! They don't live in your body. You wouldn't believe the amount of people I know personally that I know for a fact have implants or lift/both but they judge me! As long as you're happy , that's what matters most. I'm happy with my reduction and lift I really am, but, now I regret posting on here about wanting to go up a bit in size. I spoke with my surgeon and we can do it but, I talked to my therapist and realized that it's such a drastic change from what I had with my first augment. I'm not used to the way I look now, and that's a very normal reaction to want to go larger because of that reason. They are beautiful, perky, and I'm a perfect D. It's only 5 months out for me so I'll get used to the change. I hope you're well, and take it easy !!!

I bet they look great now. How do they look in scrappy tops or in bikinis? Probably amazing.
I think boob greed is a thing for real. I was never even a boob person but now I'm finding myself obsessed and constantly defending my small size choice. So I can relate. You did the right thing. With a lift especially it's best not to go too big because they will just sag faster. Lol
Enjoy your youthful perky booties.
A trip to h&m will make u feel better when you realize you can fit all the tops.:)

Awe, thanks doll. I saw your pics and they look AMazing!!!!! I don't know how to post a pic ? If I figure it out I'll do it

Blah blah blah. I know no one cares qhat happens in between the before pics and the after lol. I went to savers yesterday (first time #love) to get some ugly old lady button down short sleeve baggy shirts to wear for a week after.
How long will it need to wear only button downs?
What did you ladies wear or purchase for post op?
I don't plan on going anywhere for at least 4 days...

I only bought 2 button downs. I figured I could always put my tank tops on by stepping into them and then pulling up, ya know?

Oh good idea.

I went to target about two of their pajama sets with button down tops super comfy and not to hideous other than that I've been living in a tank top you'll have more mobility than I think you anticipate I did the same lol I hope your surgery goes well!

It's true I'm able to put on a real shirt now. Glad I didn't get too many button downs.
August 15, 2016
For the days when I still feel kind of rough I just hang out in my compression bra and maybe a light jacket. Worse case scenario I bought a cute flannel that I can just wear open with maybe a tank top that I can just pull down if need be its saved me a few times lol glad to hear your starting to feel better :)
August 8, 2016
Good idea .. What all did you buy like vitamins and silicone strips ?? Good luck can't wait to see them

I got arnica gel, and neosporin oh aND bio oil. I have been juicing beet roots, carrot, and ginger ( good for building blood since I'm anemic) and I've been eating tons of fresh pinapples.

I bought old lady zip up wireless bras. I can't even wear wire yet and I'm 5 months post op. I just wore zip up hoodies mostly. I had used some liquid scar stuff from my surgeon but it never stayed on the bottom incision. He switched me to Bioderm Plus silicone gel with spf 30. It's amazing! Scars are so noticibly better from 1.5 months ago when I switched. I was able to buy a few VS wireless bras, they are very nice and they feel good on. I'm now a 34-36D but I can fit into a DD but doesn't fully fill it up
