41 Year Old Athletic Mother of 3 Now Has Allergan 410 Gummy Bears, 335 CC - Toledo, OH

Hi, I will post some pictures if my scar soon. Thanks for the suggestion and request. The scar is not very visible due to my surgeon., he altered the crease and the incision is near the crease. It turned out terrific and love my surgeon. As for the sensitivity, it's different. For sure! My surgeon said it will improve and I hope it does. But if it doesn't it was still worth it to me. I truly love how I look. The sensation will always be different I feel. Sometimes they are ultra sensitive, like putting my bra off and on. However, when actually touched the sensitivity decreases. But I do have breast sensation that is passable, not what it was. I Hoe this explanation as answers your question. If not I can share more. I am so happy with them and I have enough, but it's different. I will try to get some pictures for you soon.

Hi Smallend, Thank you for posting your journey with so much detail. I find it hard to find ba stories with the gummy bears implants. I'm saving to hopefully have my ba this year and I want to go with the gummy bears. I think they are the safest implants on the market and in my frame I believe they will look the most natural. My question for you, and pardon me if it is redundant, but it is about the feel. How do your breasts feel now? do they feel softer? do you have all your sensitivity back?Your feedback is very valuable as I love your results and want to have the surgery asap. Thank you

Hi, your results are amazing! Wow. My profile was MF if I remember correctly. I didn't even know your style existed until after my surgery. Are you in Canada? It seems the profile you have is unusual around here. I don't know why. They look awesome. I am loving my boobs! Continued happy healing!

Hi. Running was weird at first, I will admit that. It took some getting used to. But I am not super big and I wear a strong bra. That said, the first few yards I still notice that it feels weird, not painful, just weird. After a few yards, I don't even notice. As for cleavage, I have not attempted to wear a push up or anything like that. I didn't want to interfere with their natural dropping and position. I will try it out down the road. It's my understanding that this type isn't easily manipulated by a push up bra. I know the round has a cleavage outcome, but I am not a fan of the round look on me. Personally I think I am too old for that trend. Sorry I can't be more helpful in this regard. I am so glad that a push up is no longer required to look like I have anything! Used to be all I wore and now I don't have to. That's awesome!

Thanks for replying! I don't like the round look either but I would like a little cleavage lol I am going to take your pic to my ps so she knows what I'm hoping for. You should be proud, they re awesome :)

Hi Djenno, I am very active also, but am not concerned about them shifting. My surgeon mentioned it was possible, yes. But he also said it was rare that they would shift. He explained that the pocket required for this implant is very fitted and exuded extreme confidence at his precision in this regard. In addition, this was the most trustworthy implant style, based on what I learned and was therefore a good choice for me. I really wanted two things: one, natural appearance and two, least likely to have complications of any sort. And this was it! I was so confident in his skill and precision that I wasn't concerned about any rotating. The other surgeons I saw said they could rotate, but they also preferred round implants. I think some drs have a preference and a comfort zone and these were within my surgeon's zone. I would never have allowed the other surgeons to use this implant as they showed no confidence in the device. Hope this helps! Good luck on your journey-you won't be sorry!

Hi Small, I hope you are still doing well and happy? Well, I've done it! I am 3 days post op and already in love with my boobies. I wanted to thank you, your review, updates, photos and positive attitude helped me so much in my journey, I am grateful that you shared your story. Big hugs!

Hi masongood! I will keep posting and should add some new photos. Let me assure you saving the money is worth it and I did the same thing. Like you I was nervous and had reservations, but it was a good decision for me and I am so pleased with my results. I haven't gotten over my excitement yet! Every time I see myself in clothes I once wore with a padded bra...there is no comparison! Take care and save that money!!

You are so sweet and i am glad sharing my experience helped you with your journey. Happy healing to you. Your new girls look great! Hard to believe but they just improve and look better and better as the healing takes place. Enjoy your new look and keep posting your progress. It's a bit tricky for active people who work out because you can't do what you once did for a while. Don't stress! You will heal and get back to it. I am back to full blown running now and don't even notice them...aside from not being flat in my sport bra! Haha. You are in the painful part now, but it won't last too long and it's so worth it!! Thanks for the kind words and enjoy those new additions.

Hi Masongood! Thanks for the compliments. I had no idea the 5th generation could last a lifetime, this is the first I heard that! That said, I don't know what generation mine are. I was told that this particular implant (Allergan 410 gummy bear tear drop) was expected to last the longest with the least issues with capsular contraction and/or rupture, etc. So i was encouraged by that. As for the feel of my breasts, they are much softer than they were thats for sure and the tissue that I had with the biplanar procedure allows my tissue to be on top of the implant, and they feel great. Not as soft as natural breasts, but not hard at all. There are areas that have no feeling, such as under my breasts and my nipple sensation hasn't fully returned. Its my understanding that this is normal and takes a bit of time. I can sleep on my side and have returned to running and I am so happy with my decision to jump in!

Is it like the breast firmness of when you were nursing your babies and full of milk, not engorged, but ready to nurse? Just curious. Yes, they were referring to the new cohesive implants, like the Allergan and Sientra tear dropped shapes!! They were not promising a guarantee but projecting from experience? That is how I took it. I would have had it done this summer but the funds were just not there, maybe next year. Will you please give us an update a year after, so I can see if you are still happy? Thanks, your experience is invaluable to me!!

Hi Masongood. Yes, I will update through the year for sure! When I had my procedure there were not many women with the same style implant and I will continue to share for those who may entertain this particular style. I trusted my surgeon, but I second guessed myself about the style, size, etc. It was tough! At the same time there were not many women who documented their procedure with this type implant. I have been trying to remember what my breasts felt like when nursing...its been so long. When I felt the implant it felt firm, quit firm. However, with my tissue over the top, it doesn't feel like that at all! Like, when I feel them, I feel the softness of my tissue and not the implant. Hope that makes sense. I understand your curiosity. I had it too. I will say they were very firm at the start, engorged like when I started nursing. They are 100% better now that my skin, muscle and tissue has expanded to accommodate. They feel great. I can't say enough wonderful descriptions that would properly describe them. Yes, its a very costly journey. I am glad my results were this good, many ladies are unhappy and I am grateful to be so thrilled. I didn't want regrets and I have none! Not one. Good investment! I felt a little superficial spending that kind of money on implants, but I don't feel superficial now. Weird. Happy! Thanks for the comments and keep me in the loop with your journey!

Hi Michele 50! Thanks for the high compliments...I love them and am so glad to be on the other side of pain and healing. How are you and your breasts coming along?

Doing pretty good. Kind of sore today, they took a hit from an airbag yesterday when I ran my Mustang into the back of a stopped work truck at about 30mph. PS said with my gummy bears under the muscle, my girls should be fine tho.

TempeWick. I understand. The numbers and style was something I struggled with. Seriously, I lost sleep over it. I worried I wouldn't be large enough, or would be too large. Its a big decision to replace what you were born with. I didn't want to be sorry or regretful. In the end I trusted my surgeon wholeheartedly. I am so happy with my new breasts. Its a difficult decision to make and once you make it, there are so many other thoughts that become obsessive. Best thing to do is find a great surgeon because then all things will fall into place perfectly (no pun intended). Good luck to you on your journey!

OC48. Thanks for the compliments. I love them and hope they look better and better!

Hi Aca862, It's amazing indeed! I was happy from the start but I didn't know how much better it would get. I hope you are as happy as I am! Recovery wasn't too bad but I was sore longer than I expected. That said, at 6 weeks I started running again and haven't been sore since. I wish you a speedy recovery. Each day gets better and I am sure you will love your results.
