hey Mandy77
I love reading your blog, it definitely convinced me to get a BA, it helped a lot. I am in Sydney too and wondering if u get a cohesive silicone gel or normal silicone gel? Because I've done some research, and many suggest the cohesive silicone gel / gummy bear implant as they stick together more. But the problem is most of them are available in US and hav no information on whether it's available in other countries.

two weeks and two days post opp.. 8.9.11
i feel pretty good so far!! still a little tender. my breast are dropping nicely, think most of my swelling has gone down they are pretty soft now not as hard. i do still have some numbness which is to be expected im starting to get an electric shock like feeling in my left breast which indicates that nerve activity is returning, but it feels soo gross lol..
im still wearing my compression bra which i think i have to wear for another two or more weeks while my breast are healing. i have an appointment with my PS next week 12.9.11 so ill update a photo then..

Hi Mandy77
It was great to read your story and your pics look great. I'm having mine done in 3 weeks and sooooo excited. I used to be a small B and after 3 kids, now a small A, I don't really fill a bra. I have had 2 consultations and at my last appointment, I tried on sizes but found choosing the size to be quite stressful. I was comfortable with the first size she put in (which would measure a 12B) but the next size I tried which would measure a 12C felt huge. I guess going from nothing to a C is a massive difference. I have chosen the larger size and hope I have made the right decision. I figure, I dont really want to go through this whole procedure, to end up a B cup. Maybe its psychological lol. I'm 5'11 so I think I'll carry it off ok. I am definitely excited and can't wait to see the results.
Did you have natural nerves or doubts the closer you got to your op date?
Cheers :-)

BTW I am having 335cc put in and like I said, I barely fit an A cup. Any comments on whether this is a good size would be great.... thanks!! :-)

hey belle33
im only 5ft2 and 45kg very tiny, i went with 345cc and on my frame they look very natural and in Proportion to my body.im measuring about a 10D i was a small 10c before. keep in mind that when you try on sizes they look alot bigger then they will once placed inside ur breast, they will be at least 10% smaller..
I would say if that is the size your PS has recommended for you then they will be perfect :)
and yes i did have doubts when my surgery came closer same as you hoping that i didn't pick the wrong size ect, i was contemplating going smaller 320cc, but glad i didn't as they are perfect :)
feel free to ask any questions or worrys you may have .
i didnt find the pain that bad. it was prob about a 4 out of ten. hardest thing for me was not being able to do anything for myself for the first week. simple things like sitting myself up and dressing myself. i would do it all over again for sure :)definitely worth it..
wish you all the best :)

Hi Mandy77
Thanks so much for your words of wisdom. I think you are right as my doctor basically said the 2 sizes I tried on (335cc being the larger of 2) were both suitable for me but wouldn't recommend I go larger than 335cc because I am quite tall and slim. I have so many worries that they will be too high, low, hard etc etc lol but I think I just need to chill out and trust that my PS knows what he's doing. I am so excited though.
Not too worried post-op. As long as they look amazing, I don't care how much I need to rest. I have booked 2 1/2 weeks off work and my hubbie has booked time off as well. Although I picture myself clothes shopping in week 2 - am I kidding myself? :-) How soon did you start exercising?
It's so great to read everything has worked out for you. You look fabulous! :-)

hey belle33
i was worried about placement too and them looking to fake because i went high profile but they look very natural. my breast were very hard for the first three weeks mainly from the swelling, now that im massaging them they are alot softer.
i went shopping on my second week post op, but to buy work clothes to cover my compression bra :)it defiantly took it out of my so make sure your with someone :) i brought my first new bra yesterday was very excited..
I still haven't been back to the gym yet as im only 4 weeks post op i have another two weeks before my next appointment so hopefully he will give me the all clear to get back to the gym.
you could properly go back sooner just depends what type of exercise you do. where i like to do weight training.. its abit to strenuous atm

It's comforting to hear that you had similar worries too. I guess no one knows exactly how they are going to look until after surgery. That's pretty scary.
I was wondering about clothing covering the compression bra - I guess white tops are out of the question, low cut, chiffon, etc haha. How soon did you go without a bra? My nurse said after 3 weeks of wearing the compression bra, feel free to go braless if I want to. Depends on clothing of course. I wouldn't cruise around town like that haha.
Good advice re shopping - yep will be careful for sure. I'm wondering how many new tops I will need because I have been wearing such a heavily padded bra anyway, that I wonder if there will be a major need to upgrade my wardrobe. Guess time will tell. Looking forward to that bit.
Re exercise - I enjoy jogging but I will start off with walking a bit here and there and over a couple of months or so, will build up. I will keep checking with my PS.
Thanks for your comments...

Congrats on the new boobs! They look great. Try just to take it easy as much as possible. I know the first week can be rough, and just sitting up from a reclined position is hard and uncomfortable. You have the same incision location I got. My incisions were very sore for the first month, especially when I was wearing a bra because the bra was rubbing on it. SO I wore cotton pads or gauze on my incision to help relieve the discomfort from the bra. I am 5-1/2 weeks post op now and my incisions feel much better, but my Dr. gave me some silicone strips to wear on my incisions to help with healing and discomfort and they help tremendously. How many CC's did you end up getting?
Keep us posted.

hey thanks i love them :)
i slept in our recliner for the first week, and then went and stayed with my sister for two nights to give my partner a break as i couldn't do anything on my own. im now sleeping in our bed again and its soo much better im just really sore when i first wake up. but once im up and moving im ok. i go back to work next week so im not looking forward to it as im a hairdresser and its a very full on job.. my incisions have been ok and not really sore just a little itchy (which is good) i have to wear my compression bra for six weeks. so i cant wait till i can go clothes and bra shopping :) i went with the 345cc silicone gel high profile and love them they are just what i was wanting and more.. did your PS tell you to massage your scar with pure vitamin e oil? should help with the scar tissue? and ill keep you posted

They look great and very natural. Glad everything went well. You will feel better with each passing day. I had to sleep propped up for a few weeks to help with pressure.
