11 Months Post-OP (365-400cc Mentor Implants) Loving them!

Hello ladies! Ive received a few messages since my last update and I apologize for not following up as of late. I know how helpful it was to be able to reach out to someone especially when you find someone with your exact stats. Anywho! I would like to say it has almost been a year for me less than 2 months and I can say ive had them for a year.

Ill try to make this short. Kind of bullet point it.
-I love them. Do I regret it? Not at all. Would I of gone with a different size/implant? Possibly. Im definitely still okay with them being saline. They are squishy as ever and sometimes I do feel air pockets but I just massage it out and its fine. I love my side boob and how full they look. Sometimes I do wonder if High profile would of been better with my frame but Ill let you guys decide. I love how I look just saying I probably would of loved the HP implant as well. Like I said im really loving my side cleavage.

-Exercise. I HAVE TO wear a sports bra. Nearly impossibly to run without with it is very uncomfortable. Not to the point of pain but hey they actually flap around now.

-Massaging. I do it every now and then maybe like 2 times a week I will sit down and watch Netflix and spend a good 30 minutes moving them around. It just feels good to do so and I do believe it tenses up when you dont.

-Back pain? I dont know if its from the implants but sometimes I do feel like they are heavy. I didnt get anything dramatic I went from a small b cup to a full d cup. So yes gravity I understand but do I regret it? No. Ive invested in some really comfortable bra's and not the dinky cheap marshalls ones. Ladies your bra changes everything. I am a big fan of Victoria Secrets no wire bra's. Good support, doesnt dig, cute colors, and most importantly doesnt add more volume to my breast.

I get this question a lot and Id like to make it very clear that it is very easy to conceal these babies. The only time you can actually notice my bust size is when I wear a top that accentuates my bust line. Not that that is a bad thing. For example at work I wear a lot of loose flowy tops and I look like how I did just before. You can hardly tell. And when I want to I can wear a more fitted top and walah.

-All in all I love my results. Pm me if you have questions or leave a comment. I would love to help anyone I can.

2 Months Post Op. Feeling Great (San Jose, CA)

Hi Ladies sorry I haven't been updating it as much I should be.. I've replied to every message i've gotten but have been just so busy as of late I even forgot to take weekly pictures.. But as of right now or yesterday I am officially 2 months post op.

I just actually came back from another visit with Dr. Lepore just now and everything is in order. He told me if I want it softer to keep massaging but if I like where they are right now to just keep the massaging to a minimum. I can wear any bra I want now but I am still most comfortable in a sports bra.

I still sleep with it on half the night. Without one and laying flat my boobs kind of feel a bit heavy.

And did I say I am LOVING my results? I hope this review helps people out there. Please feel free to pm me if anything. I dont know what else to say other than he gave me the okay to work out as well but I dont think my boobs are ready yet. Ive been working in 20 minute cardio workouts but what I really want to get back to is running. I havent ran for 2 months.. and I tried a really slow job yesterday and its still too soon. Boobs were thumping up and down way too hard to my liking. Even with a very tight and firm sports bra. I will just wait it out a few more weeks and stick to light cardio.

As for pain there isnt really any except when I stretch my arms all the way up in the air like I am "reaching for the sky" i feel sharp pains through my armpits. My PS told me thats normal and my nerves are still healing and waking up. Im not too worried about that. Thats all for now. Hope everyone's doing swell. And goodluck to everyone who is about to undergo surgery/has just gone through surgery.

Hi ladies just wanted to update you all on how I...

Hi ladies just wanted to update you all on how I have been. My boobies are feeling great. I can lay on my stomach without it hurting my chest already. And as of late I have been semi sleeping on my side. I think one boob is dropping faster than the other but im not too sure nor am I too worried about it.

Ive been feeling a lot better. Off all pain meds, just been going back to my daily allergy medicine. I do still int he morning need to massage before I get up or they will feel really sore.

No one has noticed or asked if I got breast implants. They are so easy to hide but right when I put on a fitted T BAZINGA! So I really do love the fact that I am able to hide them for work and what not.

Still living in sports bra's which I have accumulated about 12 since my surgery.. SPLURGING BAH!! Also the Danskin Front clip ones are a bit uncomfortable for me to wear now. Not really sure why?

In about a week or 2 I have my second follow up meeting.

So my main question is how many of you ladies bought warranties for your implants? Mine says I have 5 years of up to 1200 dollars worth of financial assistance for operating room. But Anesthesia are not covered. But I already have a lifetime product replacement meaning if a rubture or deflation occurs I will be free of charge for another implant.

What I am asking is if any of you ladies paid the extra mine says $125 dollars for 10 YEARS of $1200 dollars financial assistance that also covers anesthesia and $1000 Towards surgeon's fee. I have about 13 days to decide if I want to go and get "The Mentor Enhanced Advantage" package. Help please?

I only checked out one other one before this. And the previous one the lady was really pushy. As for this location he listened to what I wanted. I showed pictures and he gave me a general idea of what I should go for. 4/17/13 Forgot to mention during my first post op meeting I felt very rushed. I know he is a busy PS because he is great! but I wish he did spend a bit more time with me during my post op. It was literally 10 minutes. Mainly just to show me my massages. But then I had a question about sports bra's and totally forgot to ask and when I was leaving he was already in another consult with another patient so that is why I gave 3 stars on time spent. Maybe my 6 weeks post op follow up will be different?
