Always wanted implants finally made the decision to go for it and this site helped me so much!
I started with a 34b I had minor pitosis and a very mild case of tubulouse breasts. My surgon said I could go either way with or without a lift. I decided to go without a lift because I plan on children in the future, i would like to breast feed and figured the less I mess with them the better.
My surgon and I decided on 475cc naturelle under the muscle. I tried on sizers and was a fan of the 420cc..to compensate for the 10% loss from being submuscular we went with 475cc.
today I am post op day one. Definatly have some pain but the meds help a ton as does having my bkyfriend here to help me. I'm taking arnica for swelling, using ice packs and have an large medical support pillow that's keeping me elevated. Allready excited about them! No major bruises so far but I'm sure some will appear tomorrow. No appetite problems and not feeling overly exhausted. Hopefully tomorrow is the same!

Did you go with round or teardrop? They look amazing already. Congrats. Hope your recovery goes well xx

I went with round. Originally wanted tear drop but my surgon explained that because of my pitosis and lack of upper pole the tear drop would only add to the lower part of my breast where as the round would give me cleavage. I originally had feared round would make me look fake but so far for me and alot of the other submuscular results I've seen they look really good! I guess the muscle helps shape them.

Im not sure what pitosis is but i have a pronounced sternum and thats why my ps said hp would look much better on me than tear drop... Now that i have them i, i completely agree!

Pitosis is just the technical term for sagging. But yes I love my round implants ! Different fits for Chicks :)

Oops 457 cc not 475 *** put wrong size in post sorry guys I never take pain killers so these guys are making me a little loopy =)

I went with textured 440 cc sub muscular gummy bear hp. The next size up from the 440 was 505 and i felt that was too big i loved the 480 cc sizers but they didn't have that size in the implants i wanted and i told my ps i would rather go a little smaller than too big!! Yours look fabulous though!

Were you looking at sientra ? I had to get natrelle because sientra didn't make the size I wanted but natrelle did. Auctually really happy I got natrelle ..they have a great warranty and feel really natural

And thank you!

I git sientra. Sientra is a lifetime warrenty and if they need to be replaced before 10 years for any reason, they cover the cost of the entire surgery not just the implants!

Is it lifetime ? That's awesome! I did origionally want sientra but my surgon said natrelle would work best on me. Glad you ended up happy with your decision!

Today was a little more painful than yesterday. No brushing so far but my skin is shiny and slightly pink. The office called this morning to check up on me, seriously so glad I choose the surgon I did, they have been so caring. I had a minor concern over slight pinkness to my breats and they put me on the phone with a nurse right away. She talked me though it and I'm now not concerned at all just watching it to make sure it doesnt turn red or develop any heat. It's still hard not to use my arms I can't imagine not having help for the first several days. The pain meds have been giving me some really weird dreams but I still feel like I need them so I guess I'll just have to deal with the strange dreams lol. Keeping myself really hydrated and resting a ton. Seriously can't wait to take off my bandeau tomorrow and switch to my recovery bra. Hardest part is staying away from my cat! But I know the risk of pet dander and infection isn't worth it.

Figured I could add some info on rice sizers today. I know im doing this a little out of order lol. I took the rice sizer exersize super seriously ! Every day for 2 weeks I worse them, trying on different sizes ..wearing them in public to see if I got weird looks.. I really under estimated what a great tool they would be. I ended up being a fan of 13.5 - 14 oz I wanna say 14 = 440 and 13= 420 so 457 under the muscle taking into mind the loss of volume from the muscle was perfect =)
I know it's early to say this but I allready adore them and am so glad I made the decision to have them done.
