WORTH IT$5,400
So I'm 2 1/2 weeks post op and I'm so glad I did this! I have no real pain, just sometimes when I overdue it at the gym they will get tight and let me know to slow down. I'm still sleeping on my bak which sucks... I sleep so much better on my side or stomach. I haven't been fitted or anything, my Dr advised me to wait at least a month an let me body heal... I've noticed since working out again that my rib cage gets really sore after? Not sure if anyone else has had this as well, but it hurts more than my cruel incisions or boobs... Either way I just ice them and my rib cage a lot and hope it goes away soon. I have another post op visit this coming week and my Dr will go over massaging techniques... Other than that I am doing great and hope everyone else is healing well! I added a pic of my side profile, in last years swim suit top!!

So I had my one week post op and my PS said my chest muscles were so strong and dense prior to surgery that my dropping and fluffing may take awhile. He said im still so tight and my muscles haven't given up the fight against my implant so he said to wear my surgical bra one more week than I can wear anything or go bra less... At two weeks he also said to start rubbing vitamin E on my incisions. Then at my three week appointment we will go over massaging techniques.
He also said to avoid at all costs trying bras on or getting fitted.. He said it will only drive me crazy and that after the first month girls realize how much their boobs really change..
Overall I walked out of my appointment reassured with a new found need for more patience. I'm excited for the next few weeks and to see how much my girls change!

I think you look awesome!! It all takes time. I know the waiting game is trying on your patience... But stay calm. It took almost 5 months for myself to see the new me. I don't know about the breast moving closer together. I want to say how you look to start is how you look in the end just bigger. That's what my PS told me. I also went with Style 45 (Ultra High Profile) there is a difference. Look up the projection. I cannot remember but the High Profile is like 3.9 projection I think.....??? But the Ultra high has projection of 5.7 I think. Ohh boy all the research and I forgot.. Sorry. It's a huge difference. I will look it up and come back to this.. hold tight.

Okay I looked it up.
High Profile is projection 5.3 and Ultra high is projection 6.0, so there will be a difference between us. Also you had more to start with.. I was like the wall flat as can be. I was really -AA. forsure. I think you look good. Go to Walmart and buy some of those Bandeau tops as I posted in my photos they are wonderful and my PS loves them.
I never had to wear a surgical bra. I was not taped or banded. I went without a bra for about 4 months and they perfect. I don't have anything I can share. Each Dr. has his/her own thought process. If I new then what I know know I would have went to school for this. I love it. good luck!! if you need me to answer any questions that I've been thru let me know. you look great.

Thank you so much for all the information! I'm healing well and my PS said my chest muscles were so dense I might take a bit to drop.. But they are soft and I'm loving them! I have a couple bandeau tops like that and they are so comfortable!! Thanks again for everything

So I'm post op day 4 and I feel great. I'm not in any real pain, just the expected tightness. My sternum and sides of my boobs are the only tender spots.
I've been lucky and haven't been constipated... I've been drinking water, prune juice and laxatives and have a happily been regular.
I know I'm only 4 days out of surgery, but my boobs look far apart and I was wondering if they will round out and come closer together as I drop and fluff?? Any advice would sure put my mind at ease! Thanks so much ladies and I hope everyone doing great!

Thank you for sharing. Your story gets me over the nerves I'm feeling any back to the excited part. Hoping to book my surgery and pre op on Monday for 2ish weeks out...eeks! I'm similar to your stats. So your story is really helpful to me. Thank you and you look great girl! Happy speedy recovery!
April 27, 2013
You're very welcome! I'm glad my story can help. If you have any questions feel free to ask, and good luck with everything!
April 27, 2013
You look great!I have been checking back with your posts to see what my progress will b bc we are so close together.We also have similar stats and same implants!yeay.im having the same sternum and side boob pain as you.I also was wondering about the space between my breasts.I specifically told my PS that my last set sat a little far apart and too high.I asked her to c what she could do about it.Im really hoping they come together and drop soon!Im glad you are feeling good and happy im for you.You are the total package now!!
April 27, 2013
You are seriously too nice! And I'm So glad we found each other on here and are able to relate so much because I our stats and exact implants! I'm def executed to see our results over the next few weeks.. When u had our 1st BA, when you dropped and fluffed did your boobs get bigger? You look great, lets def keep each other going through this healing process!
April 28, 2013
Thank you,I'm glad we found each other too!lol Yes after my first BA they just looked so long bc the implant was high and my natural breast was smaller on the bottom.It took about 3 weeks for them to settle and fluff.They looked much better before I nursed my children.They were always small though.You are making good progress.Have you started massaging yet?Have you been wearing a bra?My doctor told me not to wear a bra.
April 28, 2013
I go back to see my PS on Wednesday and he told me to wear my surgical bra 24/7... And I'm assuming he will have me start massaging after my 1 week appointment
April 28, 2013
I wonder why mine asked me not to wear one.i just assumed it was bc my incision my get irritated?I have already started lightly massaging in small circular motions with my arnica gel.Just to ease the soreness really.I thought 550ccs would be huge,but they really don't look as big as I thought they would.When I was told my height would eat up ccs I didn't think that was entirely true bc of my weight.Now I c what everyones talking about.I could have gone up to 600 without looking like a stripper.
April 28, 2013
Hi, I have my BA in three days, and I was admiring your bras after surgery. I was wondering where you got the surgical bra, and the bandeau ones? I bought a couple at Walmart, but they seem c
Flimsy. Thank you
April 28, 2013
The leopard bandeau is a swimsuit I ordered on etsy... But the blue bandeau I got at target and is very comfy... My PS have me my surgical bra and from looking at other girls surgical bras, I feel blessed cuz mine is so comfortable and isn't terribly ugly
April 28, 2013
I love them!!! If u don't mind I am gonna give my PS ur pics to use as my dream pics!!!!!! I wanna go big but too scared that they r gonna b to big!!!
April 28, 2013
Thanks so much! And absolutely you can use my pics! If you have any questions just let me know. Good luck with everything
April 28, 2013
We have the same body type petite/muscular same height!!! What size of sports bras did u buy before hand, what kind of stuff did u buy like arnica??
April 28, 2013
My PS suggested I don't buy any bras till two weeks post op when I would have a better idea of what size I would be. Plus he gave me my surgical bra which I love and I'm in that for two weeks 24/7... Arnica and bromelain were available to me, but my PS said I was healthy and really didn't need to waste money on it. I filled my prescriptions and bought bio oil, which I used during my pregnancy and loved it.. So I honestly would recommend the bio oil... Other than that I relaxed and iced religiously
April 28, 2013
Did he also tell you about massaging?? If so when do u do that!!? And wonder why PS say that u don't need to massage!!! I'm sure every PS is different!! And how long will it take to D&F!!! I haven't even had my consult yet!!! I go on Thursday down 12 hours away driving and my consult and preop is on Friday!!!! I am so freaking excited!!!! And what kind of pics did u have for wish boobs!!! I love Jennifer Stanos boobs hers are 500cc idk what kind of profile they are though!!! I usually wear those bombshell bras and bathing suits from VS and that's how I want my boobs to look like without a bra!!! I have always wanted to be able to wear a bandeau!!
April 29, 2013
I go back this wed to talk about massaging! But I've heard some PS are all about it and others don't like to massage..
I wish I knew how long the dropping and fluffing will take!! I'm trying to be patient.. Just hoping i don't get any smaller, I'm loving the size they are now. My wish pics were a collage of women who had clothes on and I loved their look, and some naked ones that showed the shape I was going for!
April 29, 2013
That's good!!!! Did u have any dreams before hand like nightmares?? Cause oh my god I dreamt that I was only able to get 200cc and it was a waste of money lol

My PS said that with sub-muscular placement, your body basically massages the implants with every breath and movement, thus he says we don't need to do it. I kind of worry that if massage is all it takes to move the implant... how quickly they might drop? You look great girl:) You were gorgeous before, it is great to see how happy you are after!
