I had my first consultation today and scheduled my surgery!!! I feel like I know what I want already from all the research I've done here so felt confident in scheduling the surgery appointment. The PS I'm using doesn't typically go with Mentor implants so I did have to alter my original idea, but the Natrelle does seem like a good option. I'm going for the middle gummy option out of the 3 options of firmness. I haven't selected my CC's yet but am hoping for around 450-500. One lady I talked to (office worker not NP) Seemed to react in a way that made me think she thought that is too big for me. I hope I don't have to fight too hard to go as big as I want. I've read of people being disappointed in not being big enough. But I don't want to be too big either, I'm sort of afraid of looking fat! I'm 5'3 & around 125. My pre-op appointment is scheduled for 5/14/18 & they said I will try on the sizers then. I plan on going under the muscle, the NP suggested under as well which reassured me. She said I have good tissue on top to help camoflauge the implant. I'm super excited and a little nervous. I'm sure I will get more nervous as the date approaches, but I'm going to try my best to not freak out!

Definitely go 450-500. I’m 5’4 150lbs. I was talked into 371 with my first augmentation done 2 years ago and now I’m having a second surgery in July to go bigger. Most likely going to go with 545 high profile. The 371cc looked great at first until they healed and settled and now they look and feel so small. Wish I would have went bigger from the get go. Good luck !

Thank you! I'm worried about getting used to the bigger swollen boobs before the "drop & fluff". Thanks for the advice!

No problem. I wish I would have read more reviews before getting my first augmentation. I’m so excited for you and can’t wait to see your results. Best thing I ever did for myself and I was back to work in 3 days and back to the gym in 2 weeks. Good luck!

Me & you are the exact same height & weight, and I went with the gel implants, subfascular, 505 CC, and they look amazing! I will tell you though, I just had my surgery on the 3rd (yay) & they are sore and heavy as hell at the moment, but I do not regret the size at all, they look amazing! Go that route, and I promise you that you will not be disappointed!!! Good luck & enjoy your new boobies! LOL!!!!

Thanks so much!! What profile are you (or do they not have a profile choice w/Natrelle?) I feel a little unprepared now that it is getting close. But my pre-op is Monday so I'll get more info then. I will check out your profile for pics, I hope you have some!

What did you like about Mentor? How did you end up choosing Natrelle instead? And how did you decide on the middle firmness of this particular gummy? I mean without seeing them yet. Do you also have the options of XtraHP and HP and other options. I have lost track because my old phone quit working with real self. I'm back because I finally got a new one. Thanks in advance!

Hi! I was just thinking Mentor before my initial consult because that was the only one I had heard of lol! But I also liked the way one lady's profile on here was and I was planning on just getting what she got because we were similar stats. I chose Natrelle because it is the brand that my PS uses, they said they could get mentor for me if I really wanted Mentor, but they told me Natrelle has a better warranty. I was able to see the 3 sample implants to see the difference in gumminess. There's a few reasons I picked the middle gumminess, 1. The most gummy costs a lot more $ & they usually only use them for reconstructive surgery like after cancer. 2. The nurse said that the PS usually prefers the middle gummy & he is a really reputable surgeon so I was trusting what he said. & 3. If the middle gummy one ruptures the gel will stay put, where as if the less gummy one ruptures it will leak out. They said the molecules of the Silicone are too big to get into your blood stream tho, so it is still safe if it ruptures, you can go weeks without replacing them and be fine. I'm not sure about the HP, UHP or XP, but I plan on asking them on Monday at my pre-op appointment. Congrats on the new phone! Best of luck on your new Boobie research!

Also they said the difference in the least gummy and middle gummy was like cherry pie V's cake when you cut into them. The first one the huices leak out like in cherry pie and the 2nd one it is like cake where it is still soft, but stays put, nothing leaks out when you cut into cake (or that implant). Also the more gummy is supposed to reduce the risk of rippling.
