Girls were taken at the first consultation with an imaging machine before and after to 350cc but I got the largest I could go with the Mentor Gels and my measured frame of 400cc. I am very happy with them and the size. However, the first day they felt like 600cc with all the swelling and almost up to my neck. It really felt like an elephant was sitting on my chest so it is very painful at first. Now at 12 weeks no pain at all. My doc recommended wearing a bra so they do not drop too much and found one that is convertible no wire or heavy padding was suggested. I will post that bra. I bought it at Walmart as a set with undies. Its cotton and cool and hold them up. Depending on the implant you choose will determine the softness and how they fall. I did not want them drooping as some I have seen on this site. So plus I had nothing as you can see by the imaging pic I was a 32A now 32D. I am very petite and small boned so my skin was tight and had to stretch so if you have some tissue it probably won't be as painful. I also did not breast for very long so I had no size difference in each boob. I am so happy I did this but I waited till I was almost 57 in November this year and wish I did it years ago. I feel so wonderful and love the way I look in my clothes. Plus today you really have more implants to choose from but, go as big as you can once the swelling goes down you will think they look small. So go the largest you can go and enjoy them to the fullest your friends and especially husband will love the way you look and feel about yourself if you felt like a boy chest like I did. It is an expensive investment for yourself and you definitely want to find the best surgeon who has the best expertise and reputation you can find where you live. I wished I had taken the first pre op photos my doc took those so perhaps I can get them from him n post later. Thanks for you assistance I finally figured out how to post them however, I messed up and didn't get them all in one line like the others. Hope you like my results and I am welcome to your comments and anything I can add to make your experience as good as mine turned out. I have to add and probably mentioned it before my husband was the best nurse and took real good care of me because it was best not too move. So you do not disrupt the healing process. Take care and take your time in healing and you will be able to do anything in 10 weeks with no discomfort at all.

Sure Happyat30, Thank you so much for the lovely complements. I am so pleased but I have to say it is so important the type of implants you get. I researched so many and the procedure and new I wanted to go under the breast and not the nipple but at first my doctor wanted too but, when I saw how it was performed I felt like I couldn't do it that and probably would have refused only because it looked so painful and the healing and afraid to loose feeling but I have talked to many who had it done and it was fine. Everyone is different. I was happy my areolas were too small to have that procedure done. I am so pleased with the Mentor Gel High Profile implant. I had researched this one in particular and I had made up my mind it was the best choice for me and my body size. There are so many to choose from and I felt it was the most natural looking and the feel. Also the edge of the implant was seamless. I felt my girlfriends and I could feel the edge and she wanted them loosely fitting. I wanted mine to fall nicely and at first I just entered my weight and age but not many have done the procedure at 56 years of age plus my skin type was like a 30 years olds of Spanish decent and Russian I have olive tone skin and toned not stretched out or wrinkly. Sorry everyone's skin type is different. I followed every direction my doctor advised and think that's why my result have been outstanding. I was told only to massage 2 times a day and in 10 reps. No more than that. I have read some others doing 50 is too much they will soften very naturally. Also when taking a bath at first not to have the water bead on the breast directly. Little things but to take in advisement. I also took it real easy and know I have mentioned this over and over. Although, my husband took care of me he only was off for 4 days then I was on my own.. I have to admit without him in the first week and second week I too became emotionally upset for the pain and not being able to take any meds for it made me sick and I could not keep them down and getting upset made it painful to withdraw them as you can imagine. Also it was hard to breathe at first feeling an elephant was sitting on my chest and the bra given was so tight it dug into my skin. I placed tissue under the elastic and then got wise and turned it inside out. After a month I could leave it off and it was like freedom. I still could not sleep on my side per doctors instructions and that was hard because I sleep on my side. Its a slow process for the recovery so ladies do think you wish you didn't do it no matter what procedure you choose because either way it will be better than before. Maybe the nipple incision is what is todays way of implanting most used and now the under the arm and the belly button. I just think the most direct positioning is under the breast. Look on the internet you can see how they are done and make your choice that is comfortable for you and that you can live with. Its is your body and the investment is grand it not cheep that's for sure. I never thought I would ever spend this on my body without insurance coverage. I must have spent more on my teeth and I still need to put $11k into them. Poor gums urrr. Take care a I hope that my comments will encourage you to be your own advocate. Love you all and thank God always for the blessing of being beautiful because having my new Girls makes me feel just DEVINE. Aloha from Hawaii PS if any of you are thinking about getting them my Doctor performs on half the woman who do not live in Hawaii who fly in to have him perform the procedure so take into consideration if you are not happy with the surgeons in your state consider a trip to Hawaii a double dream come true if you have never been here its is just a beautiful island Of Oahu Honolulu. His office and staff will make you feel like you have been here and live here. They are awesome and both staff member have the implants performed by Dr. Chu!!!!

Thank You 4everhappy! I am doing well and yes Dr. Chu is wonderful. I encourage woman to even give them a call for info or concerns they are very nice and welcome out of town people. Its almost 50% of his clients. Its on the island of Oahu and he is located next next too Queens Medical Center. He has a comfortable office and performs the procedure there. He has the staff of very nice nurse BA by Dr. C. So they know everything to expect. But so much on the internet to educate ourselves and this site is a site of real caring woman all over the world and that's awesome for me and others!! Aloha Girls

wow, your boobs are my wish boobs. i actually showed your boob pic and my doc told me it might be too big for me. i still love your result. pls. keep updating.

As I mentioned above just research everything prior and lots of U tube videos of other woman after the procedure. Also the procedure performed that made me decide no nipple incisions plus mine were too small. But a popular way today. I think the under the breast is best and less painful and speaking of pain like me I don't like it the breast pain pump is awesome. But, draining tubes in armpits can be uncomfortable but to me worth it only lasts for 3 to 4 days then removed. You are pretty much down for that at least. Keep me posted on what you decide.

Incision at 10 weeks

Girls
Doc prescribed Scarguard to apply twice a day to help fade the scare. I think my incision has healed perfectly and was done very well and straight. That area was very sensitive since the bra rest on it and when the breast begin to drop the weight hits it but now they don't hurt at all. Nipples are still a little sensitive but rather no you have feeling some woman loose that. I think Dr. Chu did an outstanding work and he is highly recommended on the island. He performs one a day in every given week so his expertise shows in the end result.
