Here I am, one day post op and I can't believe it! They look beautiful already although they're very tight and high and my rib cage aches on the sides and right in the middle. I ended up with 400ccs in my right, larger breast and 450ccs in the smaller one. I'm so excited to see the changes in the new few weeks and everyone loves them. My boyfriend can't stop smiling :) I'll keep you all updated on my recovery and let me know if you have any questions since I'm on the other side now!!

Surgery soon, bio oil okay?

Linainverse
So I'm 6 days from surgery, getting more and more excited/nervous. I ended up going with the second doctor I had a consultation with, Dr. Sanjay Grover. We've decided that I'll probably get around 450ccs or more. I'm hoping for a beautiful D or DD set post op so cross your fingers.

Now comes the pre op restrictions... Is it okay for me to keep applying Bio Oil? I wanted to prevent stretch marks and it seems reactive to start doing it after I get them in. Any input on whether it's okay?!

I did bio- oil before and have palmer's massage cream and natural cocoa butter that I have been rubbing on religiously post op. I'm almost a month post and no stretch marks yet and I have 550 ccs. Good luck sweetie. Cue the nerves for sure. Try not to OD on realself buts its hard not to lol

Too big

Linainverse
Soo I'm actually really worried that they're going to end up too big. I don't really want to go past a DD but everyone I have seen thus far has gotten way less ccs than I'm planning on getting. Is 550 too much? Does it really just depend on the body and how they drop and fluff? I definitely don't want less than a D though. Hmmm.....

Hey from my research (which since going ahead with getting my BA has been A LOT! Lol) wearing the right sports bra for 23 hours a day all days a week for as long as your surgeon says (usually 6 weeks plus?) that sort of shapes your breasts and stops them from mis- shaping or dropping maybe? I am worried the same as I want white big ones but I'm sure if you mention this worry to your surgeon he may be able to advise you on ways to stop them dropping too much ? Maybe wearing the sports bra or support bras for longer than usual amount of time maybe? It's worth a try! Good luck! Xx

I got. 550s yesterday they are not overwhelming even if they are still swollen. But it totally depends on the circumstances I'm sure you noticed no size looks the same on anyone. I was already stretched Bc of breastfeeding so my doc said the size would work best without needing a lift.

Hey girl, I got 375CC moderate profile (scared of breasts being too spaced apart and the shape of high profile) and I was sized as a 32DD bra. I think it really depends on your body though. I'm 5'5 120 lbs and have long legs so not sure if I could have handled 500+ implants. But your you should definitely trust your Dr and you should go with whatever size you are comfortable with. Look at lots of pics of before and after and the sizes they chose as well. No back pain here and your breasts will drop naturally. Bras will also help to keep them in place lol

Oh and I got cohesive gel implants. I think they're the ones that don't leak into your body if they break. The only problem is that you have to get them checked every so often. But 10 months after surgery and they're super soft and look natural.

Hey L. I got 550 Silicone under, and absolutely love them! I'm at 32DDD/32F --which sounds huge, but I look like a D. But everyone is different. I've seen girls w/ 330's and they look bigger than me. I sometimes feel small, but I'm not. Weird right?
