Hello ladies!! I figured I would finally update my page. I'm 5'8, 140 lbs and a mother of one. I'm looking at getting mentor gel 425 cc silicone under the muscle. Right now, I'm a 32 B, a 32 D in Victoria secret (which sizes are usually off). I'm looking to have a full D after surgery. My BA is scheduled SEpt 16th. So nervous!

I am two days post op and I am doing great! The only real pain I have had so far was from the ace bandage being wrapped too tightly. It was compressing my ribs and I had horrible back pain. The day of surgery was a little rough but by the evening the nausea had subsided. I have slept well through the night. My boobs look strange because they need to settle. I am really excited to see them once they do. Good luck to you! It really isn't anywhere near how bad you might be thinking it will be.

Surgery went well and I'm recovery. Most of my pain is from the pressure. I feel insanely huge right now but that'll take some time. I need help standing up and sitting back down. The meds have been knocking me out and I'm thankful for the ice packs!! I'm glad that you're recovery is going well !

I am glad to hear your surgery went well. My boobs feel really big too but I know there is a lot of swelling. My dr did liposuction of my breasts to even them out and to allow the implant to settle and give me a little lift. It looks like he also sucked the fat out from the front of my armpit which I'm really happy about. I pretty bruised up though. Pain is worse now than the first two days but I think that is because I am stretching out the time between my pain meds. My dr told me not to ice. Does the ice seem to help your swelling? I really want to ice. :/

Ice makes it feel better but hasn't done much with the swelling. Though, I'm still under 24 hours. My boobs feel like boulders and the pressure hurts. My boyfriend has to help me up and down also. I was hoping the first day would be the worst. I have a huge college exam on Tuesday, so I need to study on Monday =\

I just realized the 3rd one is me, haha :)
Good luck on you're surgery!!! Have you decided on a size?
September 14, 2016
Yours are amazing!!!! I hope you don't mind. I think yours are perfect size (: . I'm going with 425 cc but I'm still worried that they may be too big
September 14, 2016
Thank you :) I think you are spot-on going with 425cc! I'm wanting to exchange mine bc they are too small for my height. You won't regret going with the 425's.
Good luck :) xx
Good luck :) xx

What is your height? I'm still trying to get used this app. Took me forever to figure out to make a review post lol.

Hey Hlynn87,
I have the same measurements, height and weight as you. I'm scheduled to have my surgery on 8 Dec and am going with the saline 360cc. Now I'm wondering if this is too small. Did you try the 360's? I'd like to be a full C as I think a full D might be too big. I'd like to stay in size medium for my tops and dresses and feel a D may not allow me. If I go up in size with my tops they won't fit in the waist area. Your thought please
September 15, 2016
This may help, I'm a size 3-4 in jeans and a size small in tops. My bra size in Victoria secret is a 32 D, where as I'm more of a B/C at other stores. I'm unsure of my BWD but measuring from the middle of my chest to my armpit is like 14-15cm. It's so stressful because in some women, 400cc looks amazing and in others of the same size, they look too big. My surgeon told me anything under 400cc for me was a waste but I spoke to another surgeon who recommended in the 300's. So I'm worried also :(
September 15, 2016
My tops I wear a medium and still have room and pants and skirts a size 8. I didn't do the measuring thing but will try that. I recall trying in the 420 sizers, pretty sure that was the size but they looked too big.
I just would like nice/sexy but not over done.
September 15, 2016
See that's what I'm worried about. I want D's but I don't want [RS bleep] star boobs =\ it's so stressful!
September 15, 2016
When I go to my pre-op I'm going to ask my doctor about 420cc's and see if he recommends that for my body frame. I don't have my surgery until Dec so I have time but I don't want to be undecided. I'm excited

I was trying to post a picture of the Mentor sizing thing but couldn't. If you google Mentor sizing and click images you'll see what I mean.

The first pic is perfection. Are they real? Does anyone know?

Day of treatment
BA is Today and I'm Still Stressing Size
BlueMoon85September 16, 2016
I'm still worried about size and my BA is scheduled in two hours. I
never got to try on rice sizers or get my BWD from my doctor. It scares
me because I'm afraid they'll be too large for my body. I'm looking at
425cc moderate plus silicone. I'm almost so scared that I feel like
canceling the appointment since I have no peace in mind about size for sure. Also, did anyone have to take their nail polish off before surgery?

This is to help to see the nail bed should complications arise. I've had to do it before for other surgeries. It's pretty standard
September 16, 2016
If it helps any all the posts that I've seen with women with 400 cc's or more have fit into the D or DD size. I'm going to stick with the 360 or 365
September 16, 2016
Surprisingly, they didn't ask me to remove the nail polish. I was kind of relieved since I just got them done. I'm now at home. I have a lot of pressure and swelling.
September 16, 2016
Yaaaaayyy, I'm so happy for you. I hear you on not wanting to remove your nail polish, I wouldn't either if I just got them done. What size did you go with? Saline or silicone?
I'm so trying to be patient and wait on my Dec date.
Congrats again

I went with 425 cc mentor memory gel moderate plus silicone. My doctor said that he's very confident with the sizing. So far, they're huge but they're also swollen and taped together. The meds are helping. Right now, I don't feel any pain but I'm drowsy! Thank you (: it'll come before you know it!!
September 16, 2016
That's what my mom was saying but they didn't ask me to remove it. They said it was the "old" way but I'm not sure

As a nurse, we apply a pulse oximeter to a finger or a toe. It tells us the oxygen amount of your blood. If nail polish is too dark then the oximeter can't read the level.
