Surgery a Success!

Good luck! I am also an athletic girl wanting a natural look, and am very sensitive to things as you are. I'm getting a rhinoplasty and breast Aug on April 9. We decided 350cc moderate plus Mentor cohesive gel. Let us know how it goes for you! :)

...hi, your post came up on my laptop and I thought it was a story of breast reduction so I opened into it. I just want to say after reading your post...it's great you're choosing a small implant. Big is not best, far from it. I am in the journey of having my implants out . I have mild CC in the left breast after 20 great years of implants. I loved my implants, but sadly 20 yrs down the line (and I have been very lucky as many women have problems before 20yrs is up) I now have a choice of replacing with bigger implants (you can't downsize implants without a lift and I don't want any scars), or removal and no replacement.....so starting with small implants is definitely best as if you have to have them out you can go a little bigger with replacement but never smaller so if you start off big you will end up huge or with a lift to get smaller. I am almost 50 and the thought of going under the knife now is frightening (I'm not a fuddy duddy old 50 by the way lol:-)), so to have replacement I don't think is an option as I know they always need replacing further down the line again and I know I would eventually have to go under the knife again and I wonder how old I will be then and I know it's inevitable with time and wear of implants....so I think I have to leave them out altogether...so if you are having implants I have to say I think going for smaller implants is best. I only had 265cc by the way but they seem huge as your boobs get bigger as you get older. I imagine you will have to have further surgeries down the line yourself as implants don't last forever...I wish you luck on your transformation but have to say your boobs look absolutely fabulous as they are...they really really do!! :-)

I think you look amazing as you are! You look very well proportioned.

I am the same age as you and if those were my boobs, I would not change them! They are perfect, really!!

Good luck with your upcoming surgery! I think you will have very natural-looking results with 215cc. Please make sure you are fully aware of all possible risks and complications (medically and cosmetically) before your surgery date so that you are prepared. Best wishes! :)

Hey there, I wanted to say that we're the same age, and I too was considering implants due to loss of volume. After realizing the average replacement is every 10 years I opted not to. I also have a beautiful 15 year old daughter who like yourself I to had concerns with how it would impact her. I'm so very glad I choose not too. I'm now looking into possible fat transfer, but even still, it's a fairly involved procedure. It's a difficult decision, because honestly I believe we're looking into this for a little restoration of what we once had, not what we've never had, so the internal struggle is a bit different. I had a rhinoplasty when i was 22, and was so thankful my daughter didn't end up with my previous nose, because how would i explain to her, it should be good enough for her. All the things we think of. Haha. What I've come to realize is accepting what we have doesn't seem to be an easy solution either, so I've found focusing on what I do like, and choosing the safest options options for things I do change helps to maintain a bit of a balance. The one rule of thumb I always follow is, always go with your gut, and if any doubt don't do it, then trust your decision and don't look back. Good luck!
