Hello all! I wasn't gonna do a review but I decided that I should to help out those of the ladies out there who is on the fence about going through with this procedure. Let me start off by saying it was tough for me to decide to do this also! I am a big baby when it comes to pain. And I know that recovery would be the biggest pain (I hate not being able to do stuff) but as I look more and more into it I finally decided that what the heck just DO IT!! So I went into for my consultation with my plastic surgeon. She went thru different type of implants and the size and we decided to go 510 cc silicon under the muscle. I told her I wanted cleavage! Lots of it. Over the years of gaining and losing weight and having my daughter and Breast feeding, my once nice full c are now a saggy mess! Lol as nervous as I was about going through the whole surgery I knew this is what I wanted!

Had surgery done. I was a nervous wreck! To me the pain was intense. I remember waking up being i recovery room all whacked up. Just wanting to go home. I was there about 30 mins (I could be wrong ) sorry ladies I was so drugged lol I was even hallucinating I thought I felt like I woke up durning surgery and felt the dr cutting me and remember saying in my head ouch this hurts I should say something, I also heard people talking but after that I was out again? Idk I told the dr that and she say that I was fully put under and Numbed there's no way I could have felt that! Oh I must be dreaming then lol. Anyways my upper back hurts from sleeping all weird. And my chest is super sore and heavy! When u hear girls say it feels like rocks or cement on your chest they are not kidding! It really does feels like it.

I woke up and extremely sore and stiff ugh! But I do feel much better than yesterday, Day of surgery. WAshing my face and brushing my teeth was a mission ! I even had strength to put on some makeup lol I didn't want to leave the house completely zombie looking. So had my post ops Dr say I am extremely swollen and also told me that my muscle was quite tough and that she had a hard time lifting it. Hmm must be all that push up I use to do lol. But she gave me a brace to wear to push down the implants. I see her again next week. Came home still in pain but it's manageable. Mind u I've only been taking extra strength Tylenol. But it works for me. I get pain and stiffness when I'm laying down in bed for a while. It gets better when I get up and moving. Trying to get out of bed is hard. U cant really use ur arm. You have to use your stomach and leg muscle. I had my first bowel movement day after surgery. I haven't been eating much. Just lots of Apple sauce and soup. I've been snacking on raw almonds and sweet potato and drinking lots of water. I mean lots! Pain is having to pee so often my husband has to come with me every time to help me pull down my pants, wipe, flush the toilet and turn on the water so I can wash my hands. It is somewhat hard to move your arms. Oh I just wished everything is already healed! I'm tired of living like this.

I woke up stiff and in pain! Took 2 Tylenol and I was much better. Sleeping isn't fun anymore, not for me at least. I wake up with upper back pain. I'm trying to ice my chest as much as possible it does feel quite better , it's still early in the morning so now I will have to get something to eat and take my antibiotics. So I'll update in a bit. I just wanted to write down all the things I'm going through so I won't forget.

I am 5"6 137 pounds I was gong for a full d cup, I was advices 510 or 550 cc s , do you like the size or feel it's to big still?
User Avatar
March 29, 2015
I actually think the size now is a good fit for me. I did wanted it big but not too overwhelming and I feel that almost 2 weeks into it,it's becoming the size I like. I don't think its gonna get any smaller than how it is. If you want D I say go for the bigger cc. You are tall so it won't be too much boob for you.

Your cleavage looks amazing!
User Avatar
March 22, 2015
Thank you! I told my dr I wanted lots of cleavage cause I didn't have none for a while. I wanted something drastic but still natural looking. If I'm gonna go thru all this pain and misery I want it to show that it was worth it.

I'm actually not sure about the profile dr never told me. ( or maybe she did but I didn't hear her ) sorry I'm such a ditz. Lol going thru all this has been such a blur. Still don't know how I did it and it's done with. Lol I am 5'1 ish and 140. Sorta on the thicker side Why are you having a revision?!

im having a revision bc last Aug the ps was supposed to swap out my saline implants & fix a cap contracture, on the left side, but he neglected to remove the capsule!! We even discussed it right before they wheeled me back for surgery. He told me to come back in 4 months for capsulectomy. It was in Dec and I developed a seroma after surgery & the Dr was on VACATION with no covering Dr or available nurse!! I was horrified!! I saw Dr Haydon in Austin & he removed the implant, cleaned me out, & put the implant back, and inserted a drain. I had to wait several more months to heal from the seroma. I also have very thick scar tissue on the right side which makes the implant too high. So...now it's time for a revision. The left side that had the capsulectomy bottomed out. I guess that's what a low profile implant feels like -- a ball in a sock--because it bounces hard when I run & the side that's HP, doesn't bounce. It feels natural. Yours look really good. Wish you knew which profile you had! Lol. Anyway, I'm very lopsided now!! I can't wait to get this fixed!!! [RS bleep]

Dr Haydon was not the Dr I saw first. When I went to Dr Haydon for help, I was a mess!!! Look at my pics.

Yes it's hard to go thru this alone. No one that had never done this will understand how you feel and is going thru. We gotta keep lifting each other spirit for a speedy recovery.

I woke up with still morning boobs! Rushed to freezer and grabbed some ice and iced these bad boys. I'm somewhat sore but to the point where I feel I need pain meds ( so grateful for that ) I'm not planning on taking anymore unless I truly need them. I can somewhat move my arms a lot more, I will try to shampoo my hair today. What's more annoying than anything is sleeping on my back elevated! (I am a side and stomach sleeper) so being on my back isn't fun for me. Yesterday I attempted to drive. Yes I did. It was a short 2 min drive to my daughter school. I didn't want to walk cause it was too hot and I felt like I would be using to much energy. It was ok. I had to be very careful when turning the wheels so I took baby turns. But ladies if u aren't up to it don't do it. lol I somewhat had a real meal last night. Soup and salad. I was so craving it but as soon as it hits my mouth I was done. My taste bud is all whacked up. I'm getting itch and burn sensation that comes and goes. It's annoying but bearable Everything has been pretty bearable since day one. At one point I was wanting to cry! I don't know if it's the pain or the rocks on my chest or something. Almost having a panic attack.!! ???????? It gets better every day, little by little. Anyone considering getting implants should know that recovery is a process. Long and slow especially if you aren't doing much. that is what annoys me the most. Honestly I am done feeling like a sick person I want to get up and do thing with my little daughter. Shes been so good on the days that I needed her patience. So going to reward her by taking her out. Nothing too outrageous maybe lunch and a movie. Oh btw! I think my boobs are too big. I don't mind them going down a bit it will be perfect once they do!
