1.5 years in and no regrets!

WORTH IT$6,960
It’s been 1.5 years and I’m so happy. I feel like they look natural and are exactly the right size. I am only notice creasing on one side of one implant if o lean over and flex in just the right way. It’s such a small amount that I can’t capture it in a picture. So as far as saline implants on a small person with not much breast tissue to start with goes, I’d say one tiny crease in a crazy position is pretty dang good. They have settled out to be a consistent 32 C. There is still a slight unevenness but that was there before and even with a fuller implant on one side it’s still there. I’m ok with that as I think it makes them even more realistic. The real problem is that my rib cage is uneven and other efforts could be taken to even them out but I don’t feel it’s necessary. Anyway, I’m happy! If you’re thinking about ideal implants I think it’s a good choice even for small frames/ small implants.

Thank you so much for your post and updates. I am very similar in size and was worried it may look odd having very little breast to begin with. But now, seeing what a frame similar to my size looks like, I am very confident moving forward with mine. Thank you!!!
So beautiful!!!! Thank you for sharing!
I’m scheduled with Dr. Z in December!! Think I am going 250cc Ideals. What was your pain like the first couple days post op? I’m going under the muscle.
The pain really wasn’t that bad. I didn’t end up using the prescription pain killers at all only extra strength Advil or something else over the counter. It was uncomfortable but with ice and rest it was very tolerable. Good luck! I’m sure you will be happy with the implants and Dr. Z’s work!
Hi do ou know what volume your implants were filled to? You got such nice projection yet natural look. I’m going for 250cc moderate and hope I get close to your outcome! I think our befores are pretty close
Mine are 240 and 260 cc saline Ideal implants. Most of the details are the earlier updates of my review. Good luck!
How to they feel? I’ve had my consultation and I’m scheduling my BA for January 2019, and I’m 90% sure I want the Ideal implant. Im pretty concerned about the feel of it though, is it natural?

Things have really settled out. Still a little more high and tight on my right breast (your left in photos) with the larger implant. With clothing on it's not noticeable at all. The photos are where it's most noticeable. It doesn't help that I have a slight tilt in my torso and for some reason cannot help but exaggerate it while taking photos. I have finished the embrace scar therapy and they rent really as light as I was hoping they would be. My skin is very fair so I guess it will just take more time.
I am so happy with my results and just want to say quickly word of caution to anyone used to looking stick thin. Trust yourself! I did get nervous and think that I should go larger because all the reviews on here seem to point to "boob greed" with people wish they went bigger. So far, I have not felt that any time other than when I'm looking this site. The only issue I have experienced is a few times of seeing myself in a mirror or photo with clothes on (not form fitted) and feeling that the boobs have added the appearance of thickness or weight on my frame. (I felt like I looked fat. This does not mean that I believe that I am.) I'm not obsessed with looking tiny but very used to it. So, to be honest I feel pretty confident that any larger would have made me feel like I look fat in way too many clothes.

I'm feeling pretty normal. I'm working out again and stretching. There is little to no pain at all. Only the occasional pulling in a twisted stretch. The right is getting softer and starting to catch up to the left but still a little higher and tighter. The embrace scar therapy is difficult to put on and tends to get pushed up. I'm also not centering the scar since I want to be able to were a bikini without it showing.

Thank you for sharing your story. We're same height and weight and I'm glad to have your measurements for insight. I'm hoping to have my surgery by the end of next year but I'm hoping for 400cc. I've started scheduling appointments with potential doctors for this fall! I'm very excited!!!
Did your surgeon discuss subglandular implantation at all with you being a smaller implant? I am 5'2" but same weight wanting a full C. Same BWD as you. Your results look nice, very natural.
Thanks! I did have one surge discuss it with me saying to wold heal faster and have a more natural movement while exercising but that was with silicone implants. Dr. Z said the muscles pull down on the round ideal implant to give them a more natural shape so it was better to go sub-muscular with them. He also said it would heal faster due to the smaller implant size anyway. I don't remember exactly what they were but there were a few more risks with sub-glandular. I can say that after only a few weeks my chest was not very tight at all. By 6 weeks I was exercising as normal and now at 9 weeks I can barely tell a difference in range of motion or movement itself. Also, as reference my workouts consist primarily of yoga, Pilates, and cycling.
Thank you for sharing, this is very helpful.
