Just left surgery and settled home. Was in a lot of pain waking up- but meds are kicking in now. It still hurts like hell but bearable. I love them already!! I got 495CC's mentor memory gel or "gummy bear" tear drop implants. A crescent lift was performed on my left breast. I was borderline for a lift on my left, so dr decided on that route. Everything went quick form start to finished.

I was so unhappy with them after breastfeeding, but have literally wanted bigger boobs since I was 16. I will post more pics soon!

Hi you look really good! Love the size, do you know the reasons your dr decided to go with "overs", most ps do "unders".

Thank you so much :) He said my chest wall was wide enough, and I had enough breast tissue to "fill out" & do so. I am in the gym lifting 5x week, and told me there was more chance of the implant becoming displaced with frequent chest exercises if they were under. I have heard of women with Olympic or competing figures going under the muscle though as well. I lift to stay toned, not bulk up in muscle.

My ps said same. I got 400cc Natrellle round HP overs but this is my 3er revision bcus of rippling. I wanted unders the last time but came out with overs again. I was very upset bcus of fear rippling again. Dr said my chest muscle was very thin not worth the pain for very little coverage. Your pre pic shows a lot more breast tissue than I was, just like fried eggs!!! You look exactly as I wanted to look!!! Love the size and fullness but he said Im tiny (5'4 100lb) and wout also 6 times a day. I wish you all the best in yr recovery!!!! Be careful lifting! My first BA with salines, one deflated after I dropped the chest bar over my chest!!!!! Lost concentration looking at my boobs!!!!!!!!!

yes, this type of implant has almost no chance of rippling- I think he told me it was less than 1% chance in women with them. I'm sorry to hear that happened with your salines, and you having a revision with silicone ??

I did already! Made a hugeeee difference. Salines overs are a big no no!!! But I got those 23 years ago when silicone was not considered as safe. Switched to cohesive gel those lasted over 15 years and needed to be replace. 3 years ago switched to silicon and what a difference!!!!! I wanted to go bigger (originally was 300 cc but dr said my tiny chest could only accomodate to 400!!! Still have a bit of rippling on top but only if I move in certain ways.

First night

EmkayBMarch 3, 2016

My first night went okay, in a lot of pain still. A lot more than what I was expecting.. My medicines are helping some. I had to sleep sitting up and moving in any direction is hard. I'm feeling a lot of tightness and my nipples are numb also. I'm going to try to get up soon when the meds kick to move around some. Will post a pic later :-)

Please share more pics and info! I am on night 1 and also got 495cc UHP gummy bears. Reduced from 650cc and 550cc pain is barable to me! Child birth was worst in my opinion lol. I'd love to see your results! xoxo

I'm able to get up and move around a little more now. I also showered, washed my hair, AND put on body lotion! but cautiously lol
The warm water from the shower felt great on my new additions.
