Hi everyone, so I am 34 and had started with a size 32A and one side just slightly smaller than the other but the basic shape was almost perfect starting out. I got 300cc high profile silicone implants after 15 yrs of research and wanting this done, I saw multiple docs in different states and did so much reading and videos ext..... 
I finally went with: 
Dr. Oppenheimer "The Best Surgeon"! 
So I have many stories to go with my experience but first I'll talk about the incision location; I went with under the breast incision it's the safest spot and allows the Doc to be able to work better, I was told, also no one really sees it too much maybe with some swim suits/bras or my husband lol but the scar was supposed to look almost completely gone. It's been now just over a year, I used the silicone gel (bioCornrum) that he had recommended for a full year and I still see the incisions. I was expecting them to be barely there but it's noticeable if they're in view so that was the only not so great thing but I'm assuming it's like that for everyone maybe they will fade more I'm not sure. My incisions are very small and done wonderfully like an artist, you don't notice if I'm just looking straight ahead naked but with some bras and suites if I lift up my arms I can see them but I'm still happy with having them there under the breast, it just would have been nice to have know that they don't actually go away almost completely after a year, they are lighter and no hard spots anymore, I massaged the scars daily and still do, also I still haven't tanned once since the procedure so I think I have done all that I can to get them to look less noticeable. 
I would still recommend highly to get them in that location, it would have just been nice to know what the actual outcome will be and not be surprised when they don't go away completely. (The pictures show my scars one year after surgery, the full body pic is with my arms down so when I lift them up the scars are more visible.) Next I wanted to talk about the size, I was a 32A and went to a 300cc hp silicone. 
I also had problems before not being able to even fill out a 32A bra, if I bent forward you could see down the entire thing I couldn't even fill that out and I had to tighten the right side up more on each bra because the size was slightly smaller. I am 5'4" and 105 lbs so super small and tight skin with no kids. I wanted a natural look the kind that if someone who didn't know me had to think to themselves are those real? So natural but also no drooping I wanted to feel feminine. It's so hard to decide with sizes, profiles and type. I was trying to decide between 250cc - 350cc and on the profile. Dr. O gave me multiple pictures with his app or whatever it is called that actually draws up digitally a pic of you and what it will mostly look like. He did this for all of the different sizes and profiles for me and I also tried on different ones in the office multiple times. In the end I was settled between 275-300cc not sure yet with hp or lp, I let him make the final decision. He went with the 300cc hp and I am so happy! I didn't want a stripper look but I wanted to look sexy at the same time. He did an amazing job and honestly the slightly bigger size and the high profile isn't that much different than the low or medium profile, so I'm super happy with it and would not go smaller or do a different profile. It is not super high at ALL if anyone is worried about that like I was, it looks so natural I feel like this is just how I'm supposed to be ( Glowing)!!!! I'm also glad he chose to go with the 300 instead of the 275, at first they were swollen but just a couple weeks after already looked amazing!!!!! Now I want to talk about the after surgery. The surgery itself was somewhat painful but not anything crazy I didn't even need to take my pain meds the first 2-3 days after because I was numb all over my breasts I just took Tylenol. But then about 2-3 days after I started to get the worst pain in the world, it felt like 1,000,000 hot pins stabbing me over and over again! I didn't know what it was or what to do. I wasn't able to sleep for 48 hrs and was so misserable and just in tears! It hurt to have anything touch them I had to sit around the house for three weeks without a shirt or bra on even a light soft blanket hurt! I did research to figure it out, turns out that when the skin is streatched with surgery the nerves can bruise and/or break and then they need to regrow and this is different for everyone. But when the numbness went away and the nerves began to regrow the pain was unbearable! So the nerves once regrown need to be taught how to feel different sensations again and the only/first one they learn is pain, so that is why I had this going on. So the only thing I could do is to touch them and get them used to different sensations basically teach them how to feel by rubbing them with Udder Cream which I loved and was recommended to me by the nurse it's not very oily like some creams, I also used a warm wash cloth and so on... I went back into the Doc when this started and he confirmed what I found out and said that everything that I was doing was right and to keep going. Not sleeping for 48 hrs my body wasn't able to heal I felt I could t sit still I just sat around crying it was misserable! I went home and I ended up taking the prescribed pain meds and I was finally able to sleep! After the a few days I returned to the office and I was grinning I was so happy with my results and the pain was getting better slowly but I was beginning to heal! I think just being able to sleep helped a ton and it also helped with my anxiety! I also wanted everyone to know all of this in case they had a similar experience and so they know what I did. So I had to use the udder cream and massage daily and I also had to go out and buy different bras, I got one that was loser fitting like a night time type and several sports bras all with a thicker band on the bottom to cover the incision spot. I also went and bought nipple ointment and nipple pads with ointment on them in the breast feeding section. Whenever I would go out I would have to use the pads every time and some days the looser bar felt better and others the tighter one and some days I had to alternate it was work but well worth it I just wish I had someone to tell me all of what I am telling you now! After about 2-3 weeks it's finally started to not be super sensitive and could wear clothes again lol! 
So that was my experience with that and I hope this helps anyone going through what I had! The only bad thing for me which isn't really that bad I guess was when I went back for a checkup they gave me a new Victoria's Secret bra to have and help with recovery but they didn't have my size they were all too big! So I took the smallest size they had and tried to exchange it at the store and nope, then I brought it back three months later at my next checkup to see if they had new ones in to give me a different size but they didn't so nope again. So I had and still have this amazing new Victoria's Secret bras with the tag still on just sitting in my drawer because it doesn't fit. It would have been nice to have with recovery and I know I would still be wearing it today if it fit so that was the only bad thing I had to say. Finally I wanted to talk about how great and amazing my experience was with the Doc! So I had a bad surgery experience a few years back; 
(Not performed by Doc. Oppenheimer). 
I had a laparoscopy and it was supposed to be a simple routine surgery and back to normal after two weeks but no. I had complications and it ended up taking two yrs for me to get back to normal and my doc at the time was not very good and wouldn't even help with recovery or to tell me what went wrong I was scarred and he just pawned me off onto a physical therapist. Well it was traumatizing and I had extreme anxiety from it! Just thinking about having surgery after that scarred me. Well I went to see many different surgeons and one in particular who was supposed to be the best in Altamonte Springs was the worst for me. (Again this was NOT Doc. Oppenheimer). He called me rude for asking questions about the surgery and about what was to be done with my body, I had to actually walk out into the hallway with the sizing bra and implants in it just to get him to finish my question because he was walking away from me to go onto another appointment, I guess I wasn't very important. There were many more terrible bedside manors I experienced from him but I won't go on about it. I felt like all he wanted was my money. I ended up going to my car and just crying and almost decided not to do the surgery. 
Then I went to Doc. Oppenheimer's and from the minute I walked into the door I felt at ease. The staff was so nice and I had told them my experience and they were understanding and I felt comfortable even before seeing the Doc. Then when I met Doc. Opp he was so amazing! He listened to me and answered every question I had and actually cared about me and my concerns, he was a miracle worker, I did not feel any anxiety after that and going into the surgery. I am so thankful to him for being my Doctor and getting me though this and giving me the body I always wanted! I was given cell numbers for concerns after surgery and I used them and the nurse answered right away every time no matter what time or day it was, she was my angel and helped me through the entire recovery! 
I was and am so great full to them! Any concerns I had before and after were all taken care of super efficiently they felt like family! I am so happy with my Doctor my surgery and my results!!! Last I wanted to tell everyone about the size after surgery. So I wear still an xs-medium in sports bras. I have such a small wait that I need the small band so it's a bit of a challenge sometimes but for the most part I fit in almost all of my old shirts, swim suites and sports bras and with underwire I can wear anything from a 
32A - 32D basically the smaller sizes cover less and every brand and type of bra is different so I'm still figuring it out but I'm having fun doing it! I highly recommend Doctor Oppenheimer and his staff! I have already told all of my friends and family that he is the BEST and that I will always go back to him for anything in the future; 
He is now my hero my "Super Doc" lol! 
I just wanted to tell him and all of his staff Thank You for all of your help and for helping me along my journey and for making my dreams come true. I now have the body that I always wanted and I feel whole! Thank You!
