Okay, so I am finally starting my Review :-)
I am scheduled for my surgery a week from tomorrow. On Saturday April 19th.
I can say that I am pretty excited!!
I am:
32 years old
5 ft tall
140 lbs
36A bra size
I'm short but wide upper body.

I had my pre-op this Wednesday the 9th and signed my papers for the surgery. At this appointment I told the doctor I was going with 500 ccs but I just called today and I changed it to 550 :)
Same style of implant... Allergan UHP Silicone Style 45

The 550 implant has a diameter of 12.4 and my BWD is 11.9
Having wide shoulders/chest, I feel that the difference in that will make them look better.
When I tried the sizers on, there was a difference between the 500 and 550s.
It was probably because of the projection difference as well as the volume. I felt comfortable with the 550 though.

I am very happy with this decision I made. I am of course worried about any complications but I won't lose sleep over that. If there are any then I will deal with it then.

I am not totally prepared yet for after the surgery.
I will need to buy sports bras as I've bought only one. I need to go get my meds filled.
I will have to leave my house at 5 AM as the doctor is an hour and a half away.

Surgery Done - Day two

So yesterday I had my surgery! I was okay at home taking naps throughout the day and taking all my medication. I've always been scared of pain. It makes me think I'm going to die, silly I know but it does -_- I have no bruising at all. They are all up to my neck as expected. When I woke up from surgery I felt like I couldn't breathe because of all the pressure I felt on my chest. I mean a 550 implants is considered "pretty big" by doctors.
I was in recovery for about an hour. I was really hot and people were walking in and out of the room. I needed help getting covers aways from me. So I think it was the anesthesiologist that walked in and I said "I'm really hot". He said of course your really hot and you're going to be more in a bikini this summer! I was not fully awake yet but it made me mad because I really wanted the covers taken away from me.
The car ride back home (1.5 hrs) was not very comfortable but finally made it home and my husband took care of me with everything.
Today I feel okay. Keep looking at them and how high they are though.
I'm not worried about anything so far. Just when I take deep breathes it kind of is uncomfortable but better than yesterday.

Hope the recovery goes well! 1.5 hrs in a car after surgery has got to be tough! Can't wait to see how those ladies recover! Wishing you the very best!

In bed all day

Yesterday was not so great. I started feeling burning sensations on my right boob. I also had my post op appointment and he said that was normal. He said all looks A++. I was also feeling very nauseous all day and he said cut down on pain meds. That sometimes that causes nauseous. After I got home I was in bed dozing in and out. Same today. All day in bed dozing in and out. If it wasn't for the burning I would be ok. But I feel it a lot more if I walk around. I'm really hoping it gets better. I'm scheduled to go back to work in two days. This picture of the incision is not that long but I'll be able to see it when dr takes tape off.

I'll definitely keep putting pics up as I feel they look different. I know updates from others in this community definitely helped me. I think the big difference in UHP is the projection of these. Lol, yeah that comment was totally out of place for me as I was getting nauseous from feeling so hot.

Do u love them??
User Avatar
April 23, 2014
No not yet. I just had the surgery 3 days ago so they are still pretty squared and up to my neck. I'm not disappointed thought because I was expecting just that. I think in a few weeks when I start to see changes I Will be able to say whether I'm starting to love them or not :) Many reviews I've read about uhp say they do love them though!

Wow! First let me say that you have an awesome body and do not look like you're in your forties!! Congratulations to you. 3 weeks O.O that's soooo long. I am supposd to go back to work tomorrow and I don't think I am. I am okay but it's just the burning/pain in my right boob. Which the dr said he had a little tough time with that one. I'm trying to be patient but I guess I will call off the rest of the week :( Thank you!
