22 Yr Old; Filled with 465 Saline & Silicone Shell Implants - Newton, MA

I did A LOT of research on Breast Implants and had many consultations. I met with Dr. Volpe and he answered all of my questions, he made me feel very comfortable and I knew he was the right doctor to doctor procedure. It was day surgery and I went home that afternoon. I wasn't in any pain or did I wake up with what some ppl say "an elephant on my chest." I do not know if I have a high threshold for pain or if it was the medication in the IV...but I didn't wake up in pain. I actually got up and had to use the bathroom. I went home, my implants were high close to my collar bone and then they dropped a little over time. They still look great, years later, and I am happy I made the decision to get them. I was a small A, the end result was a full C. 465 CC's.

I have my review up here with my before and after photos. I remember when I being prepped for my breast implant surgery by Dr. Volpe and nurses and I was wondering if my breast implants would sag.
A lot of people think that my breast are real. Even a lot of friends of mine who knew me before or after the surgery are shocked when I tell them that I have implants. I have gained some weight but even before gaining weight most of my family and friends still don’t know that I have implants - unless the subject is brought up and I choose to say that I have them.
I do want to have them reduced because I feel like they need to be smaller for my lifestyle. Sometimes my back hurts the same day or after certain active activities or even daily activities. I would like to be able to be more active. I never thought that I would want to have smaller implants but as time passes and my body changes, I do want to do it more and more....But they still look great!

The TIPS I WOULD GIVE TO YOU:
VS Sports bras are my go to bras.
-I wear SPORTS BRAS, always.
-I NEVER WORK OUT MY CHEST, ever. I did before my implants but I don’t anymore. I will not do chest exercises ...but if I’m in a group class or something I use the light weights...2lbs-4lbs.
The REASON why I don’t work out my chest is I’m afraid of the implants moving or pulling a muscle in the area. My implants feel like a regular part of my body and they look natural, even in a bathing suit. My scars are hardly noticeable. This is my experience and everyone is different but take your time when recovering and after.
I have the same 465cc’s Saline filled, under the muscle, breast implants done in May 2002. My body has changed since I had them done. It’s been a long time.
Now, it is 2020, I wish that I had smaller implants but no one was changing my mind in 2002. I am thankful that I haven’t had any compilations or issues thus far with them. I have back pain and I’m not sure if it’s because I wear thin sports bras. The VS Sports bras I loved aren’t made anymore. I haven’t found any good ones but I’ll keep looking. I wish I could have smaller implants but I’m too nervous about it since I’ve had good luck thus far. I spoke with my doctor and had an appointment with him. I figure: if it’s not broken then why try to fix it? I hope I can help so if you have questions about implants or any surgery or procedure I’ve had just ask!
