LOVING my Sientras! 350cc - Ogden, UT

Thank you! You're so sweet! In the all white outfit I'm wearing a simple cotton bra from Target. I bought it a few months back to have while I was still settling after surgery. It's lightly lined and wireless. My PS suggested to stay away from underwire for the first year as they can create a permanent crease. As for push-ups it's not painful when I try them but it feels like I'm stretching them too far. It's a weird feeling. I'm so scared of ruining them that I chicken out. I'm sure in the next few months I'll feel more confident to try them. My friend just went in for a consult and her PS said to never do chest exercises after a BA. That's the first I heard of that but it's stuck in the back of my mind.

Woah that's crazy I've never heard of underwire causing a crease, that's got to be why a lot of women aren't supposed to wear em for a while after surgery! You hAve to protect ur girls, even if it means never ever moving quicker than walking ;)He said never as in never ever???

Do you mean never-ever on the push-ups? Yeah, that's what a plastic surgeon told my friend at one of her consults, but I've never heard it from my PS. He said to listen to my body. I can do a modified pushup just fine. I'm slowly building up strength to go full out. I really think in the next few weeks I will be able to do them. I have three friends I work out with that had BAs just over a year ago, and they are doing pushups like crazy and are just fine.

There is no medical evidence to suggest that patients who've undergone breast augmentation need to permanently limit their activities. In fact, there is good research to prove that a full return to activities is indeed possible. My patients have had no difficulty in engaging in upper body/chest work, and there are some famous examples of professional female athletes who do just fine after their augmentation. A gentle, delicate technique really makes all of this possible.

Yeah I've never heard about that no push-up thing ever myself. Actually my ps surprised me and said like a month and a Half out u can start working out ur chest again:0 it makes sense to deff listen to ur body. Plus what about all the body builder women that get their boobs done. They're doing push ups like crazy...lol good then maybe that ps is cray cray hehee

Omg I just realized a ps replied! Awesome:)

Thank you! Good luck! It's a stressful process but so worth it in the end!

You're welcome!

Thank you! I am glad my review helped. I found it so helpful when I was researching to read reviews on this site. I think 330 will be great for you. We will look pretty similar I would imagine. I have a pretty wide ribcage so mine appear smaller from the front view. Who knows…you may look bigger with 330s than I do with 350s. I am amazed at how some women get from an A to a D with less than 300ccs. Good luck! Let me know if you ever have any questions.

Thank you for your reply and for your posts on my review. What size profile did you have? My surgeon has said I need to go for high profiles and I just said ok and only now have thought what does it actually mean and have now been researching it! Wish there wasn't so much to choose from! x

I have moderate profiles. That's what my surgeon suggested. I think HP will give you a bigger look from the front view. I don't realize how big mine are until I see them from the side in a mirror or picture :) My friend is really petite and she has HP and they look great. If you have a PS you really trust, then believe what he/she says. Mine was so spot on with everything he told me.

Ahh thank you so much!! I don't trust him completely so your right!! He really knows his stuff so I will stick with his advice! It's amazing how different that same size can look on different people! x

Do!!!!! Not dont!

Aloha Ronnie84, Its me Girls, I was keeping up on your story but your last post not trusting your doctor completely. I did not notice if you had several consultations. I live on the island of Oahu in Hawaii and Dr. Benjamin Chu was my surgeon. Although the islands are small everyone knows Dr. Chu and his reputation super exceeds is expertise in this field if BA. I am close to your size 5'6" now 120lbs but was 100lb when I got my BA last May so this May coming up will be one year. I also just turned 57 in November so I am much older. I have not posted pictures in a while and thought I would post in May my one year mark. All I can say is my doctor measured me for the largest I could go and I like the Mentor Gels HIgh Profile since my frame was so small. I measured 4OOcc. I knew I wanted to go the largest I could go for me and the Mentor Gels had the most natural feel and his complete description of each implants... so many to choose from these days. He also did a body scan and at first I chose 350cc and it looked really good I have that image of before and after so you can actually see how you would look with boobs haha. Its pretty cool. Putting on the bra with implants felt heavy and the bra is not very well sexy. I have a pretty descriptive layout of my experience on my page so check it out. I have been told some lovely things from the classy woman who enter this site for helpful insight to the experience and you will notice almost everyone goes through the same motions some more severe than others since we all recover differently. All I can say to anyone who is thinking about it just go make the appointment and take your husband or a significant other to support you with the entire experience. This is the best addition to my body I could have ever done for myself. It is more expensive here to have this procedure done and many doctors so it is important to feel comfortable with him and his expertise in this field and his staff. Dr. C does implants everyday of the week and its percentage of local and mainland patients are 50/50. I read a lot of women travel to another state. I could not It is very painful. Perhaps I was so small the size I went I felt like an Elephant was sitting on my chest. Its major so at first its not a walk in the park but, so many woman that are half my age recover really fast and that's impressive even with kids and jobs. We all want to have the best results so the more you read and see video of the surgery you will get a clear picture of what you are about to go under. It so important after to do all the right things that your boobs shape nicely. Buy proper bras and massaging. I stayed in bed for about a month but my profession allows me the time off. My advice is to make sure you are confident in what you are buying and putting into your body and the doctor has lots of practice. It takes long to recover but the procedure is about 1 1/2 hours so its pretty quick. I elected to pay for the pain pump and wish it lasted longer than 3 days but glad to have all the tubing removed. Following docs orders to the T is the key to a great recovery. I could not handle meds after the 5th day made me sick and couldn't eat and lost weight to 92lb.. I liked it I was so flat tummy and nice large breasts. Once I got my appetite back I just started eating all the wrong things so take advantage of this time to get your body in shape if you need too. I maybe 57 but my skin type is like a 30 year old. All I can say is I wish I did it sooner in my lifetime and now I am enjoying them to the fullest. My husband loved me when I was a flat chest feeling like a boy but he is really enjoying them now and said it did not matter to him it what makes me happy and he also commented that he is really surprised how much he is enjoying them............ yes good by padding wire bras. I use to wear two of them and buy two bathing suit tops one under this other to give me a fuller look always sewing in bra pads or those gel pads after a while they feel hot and sticky. I went from a 32A to a 32D and had 34B padded bras. So I just took out the wire and if the pads are removable I remove them. I especially like the way my surgeons incision is done perfectly and straight. My boob now is resting on that and its faded a lot however you cannot see it. My nipples areolas were too small however, I would have gone under the breast that just looks too painful and the recovery I think is more difficult. I have seen the end result looking nice if you elect this way of entering the implant. I wish you all the best and just know that all that you are feeling is natural and all the feeling you get after the surgery as you read from all of us we all go thru the same and have the same concerns. This site is the best and I was asked again to make a comment to rest assured that across the states and other countries that this procedure is very common and the stats on how many woman obtaining BA is remarkable that their is very little health risks and the results are amazing just look at me... I love my breasts they are a special part of me. Pamela Anderson was probably the first person I saw with implants and they were over the top but she carried them well. Dolly Parton another woman so petite but those breasts make this woman's entire look. A wonderful alternative to woman who had to have their breast removed for health reasons Angelina my hero this year. However, the awards this year in that tuxedo outfit next to husband Sir PiTT handsome dueo, she was absolutely elegant even in a look most woman cannot pull off according to Yahoo news! Till next time Live, laugh, and always Love your new BOOBS. Fondly, Aloha Girls in Hawaii!!

Hey girls thank you so much for your reply, it was a typo that I said DON'T trust him it was supposed to say I DO trust him, I have had two consultations and spent years doing research, the surgeon I have gone for has a fantastic reputation and I am yet to hear anything bad. Please follow my review it really sounds like you had a great experience. I will also definitely read yours! Thanks again x

Aloha Ronnie84: Forgive my over sight on that typo, I am glad and had no doubt that you did your research. Please check out my page when you get a chance. Aloha Girls in Hawaii!! xo

Stay in touch okay Aloha for now!!

Thank you so much I use clinque gel moisturizer about $34 Macy's. They say no sun on chest for about 3 months and do not let the water from shower bead on your breast. Also they is a scare guard that you put on the incision I use it for a while. Any scare cream should work but check out what you doctor is using this is pricy and I did not use it after a few times it hardens like nail polish on your skin and I did not find it comfortable so be sure you can get a sample before the investment. again thanks again enjoy your weekend. Aloha Girls in Hawaii

typo SCAR CREAM oops. some heal real well with vitamin E cream but at first he gave me bacitracin.

The profile is how far it projects. Moderate, moderate *, high and ultra high. Also the higher the profile, the more narrow the base. High profiles are usually recommend for woman with narrow chest because the moderate profile is too wide and wouldn't fit. And I also for people who want the fake look.

Tinykay1: What kind did you get? I was kind of thrown back by you saying that your comment about the fake look. I have not seen any woman on this site that looks like they have fake breasts. I have HIGH profile and would appreciate your comment to see if they look fake. I appreciate your opinion however, this site gives woman information that has already been establish by the physicians we choose to perform the BA. I respect any ones opinion but to say any one or type of implant is fake weather we no it is something we added to our bodies I have never been told that my breast look fake. I would like to see if others want to comment on this with Tinykay1 about the different brands or styles of implants we have to choose from. I frankly wish we only had 3 I had close to 8 or 9 to choose from and doing research to see what most woman preferred and the results most importantly and the experience of the surgeon. My surgeon performs one to two per day on every given week and has a very good reputation in the islands with patients being 50/50 with out of state patients. I paid a lot more since I added the pain pump but worth it. So again Tinykay1 I respect your opinion and I will look you up to see your profile and hope that you had amazing results like the rest of us who I do not believe that now having this special part of their bodies and not refer to them as something fake we should feel blessed to afford them and be blessed for what and how it makes you feel as a woman with no breasts. Take care. Aloha Girls in Hawaii.

I have not had the procedure done yet. I did not mean to offend anyone and I think your breasts look just fine. I have also researched in great depth everything about the procedure & implants. The "fake look" is a common term used by many to describe round, perky, upper pole fullness. Which is not how real breast naturally looks, therefore why we have anatomical shaped implants.

I love the saying( if you can feel them they are real:-) that's what I'm going with!

Thank you! Good luck!

You are right…I never made the correlation between my more "stiff" side being the side that has the more sever inflamed veins. The blasted Mondros cords! 

That's a great idea for a post! I will do that soon!

I am so sorry I did not see this sooner! I hope you are recovering well! I am going to post new pics and an update by tomorrow, but to answer your question… I LOVE my size right now. I feel like I could have gone bigger and been perfectly happy, but I fell like I am just the right size for me. But for me, when I tried on the 375 sizers I was too big. Hope that helps. Good luck!

Yeah that was how I felt too but they also told me that once the implant is in it will look about 25 cc's less than it looks with the sizers. I ended up going with 385 on my left and 405 on my right. Obviously I'm pretty swollen but I think I made a good choice. I think your size looks amazing but also a tad bigger would look good to that's why I wanted to ask.

You're so right! I could have gone bigger. I think I'm the smallest I would want to be. But that was my goal from the beginning. I wanted to be natural and proportionate. Your results are looking great!! I think you made a great choice, both in size and choice of surgeon ;)

Btw, the girls look perrrrfect for your frame! Love them!

Thank you!! As soon as I learn to knit I'll send some your way ;)

Thank you!!! How did your surgery go! I hope your recovery is going smoothly. 

Yeah, it's a weird feeling!
