I am 5'4" approximately 150lbs 32yrs old with deflated c/d boobs depending on maker of my bra and want a full projection high profile round large but not insanely large breast. PS suggest mentor silicone 450-500cc smooth round hp implants. Excited and can't wait to see what my new figure will look like. Since kids I have been so unhappy with what I look like. Not only will I get boobs but there is nothing better than more self esteem and confidence I'm longing to get as well.

Time will fly! I had my surgery done yesterday and it's been such a surreal experience. I too had so many questions but I am happy with them so far and not much pin. I recommend you drink a ton of
Water 3 days before I did this to avoid dehydration after surgery. Also bendy straws will be your best friends! Make sure someone takes care of you at least day one as I needed assistance laying and getting up from bed, pulling pants up and down. Will you be staying over night?

Stress ugh!!!!!
Has anyone else ended up with so much stress just before surgery that you drop weight like crazy? I have been so stressed with the whole surgery process that I went from 153 lbs in the beginning of last month down to 142 lbs as of today. I want the stress from worrying about the size and how the pain will effect my ability to be a mommy to my baby (my other kids are older so they will understand) to be over! I know I have an awesome plastic surgeon! I know I will look great! It's just I'm a worry type of person. I hate pain meds and not feeling myself. I just can't wait to be on the other side already lol! I like the weight loss but afraid if I keep losing what will be my cc size now?! I was told 450-500 hp but my breast have got much more smaller since then from the loss of weight. How did you calm your nerves if you were obsessing over the whole process?

I lost 5 before mine because of stress worrying about the pain meds.... And then didn't need a single pill! Hopefully you won't either! You are going to look awesome! Just try to focus on the end result!

December 13, 2015
Thanks! I'm gonna try. I have one week left! Btw yours look amazing! So glad I found someone with the same doctor to follow!

December 13, 2015
I know, right?! I don't know why more ladies that have Dr. Diaco do not post their results. There was one other girl from Tampa but then she just stopped posting. SweetiePotato or something like that. Try looking her up so you can see her results. She had just implants like you - no lift. They look great! You will look great too! There really isn't a whole lot you can do to ease your mind though so just try and keep busy so the time passes quickly! I'm mostly happy with mine. Again, I'm just super impatient and want instant gratification! LOL! I'll let you know how my follow up goes on Tuesday!

December 13, 2015
I will look her up thanks! I know I'm gonna be impatient after as every lady I read comments from is feeling somewhat impatient lol. I guess that's the after stressor lol. I will be looking for your update!

December 13, 2015
The whole process of getting a BA is incredibly stressful, or at least for me it was! I am a worry wart! Did I chose the right dr, am I going big enough, am I going too big, what if I have this complication, what if, what if, WHAT IF?!?!! Lol!! It's a crazy non stop up and down roller coaster of emotions, moments of feeling really high and confident then moments of panic! I was very obsessive!! Fortunately for me regardless of my weight fluctuations my boobs and breast tissue always stayed the same they never got bigger or smaller with weight gain so I don't know that I can comment on the loss of breast tissue, but I can assure you that you will likely gain all that weight back the first week after surgery! Lol I was at 153 before surgery and currently I am at 159/160 at about a week after surgery. Not only am I bloated but I have had the munchies! :-/
Try to occupy your mind with other things!!! For me I spent a lot of time cleaning and organizing my house! Laundry, organizing, deep cleaning! So that when I had surgery I didn't have to stress over a messy home because God knows my husband isn't going to clean it! And all of mine and the kids clothes were nicely organized so i had nothing to worry about! And I also pampered myself, got a hair cut and color, went and got a pedicure, maybe a few cute sports bras, cute comfy clothes for lounging around--this helped me to not feel so down about being grungy around the house lol.
I can't wait to see your results!! :)

Oh, one more thing, for my first surgery I definitely used all of my pain pills, and stayed on them for at least 5-6 days and took muscle relaxers after that! I don't know that you won't be able to not take them :-/ plus it will be nice to take them because they make you groggy so you can rest up which helps healing!! for my revision since it was mostly an exchange I didn't really need the pain meds and had a hard time sleeping! Try not to worry about all of these things, although they seem big, in the scheme of things they aren't and you will look back on this time and giggle at yourself! :) Xoxox

December 13, 2015
I'm sure you're right I will giggle when it's over. I will probably have a smile that won't go away when I look in a mirror. The weight thing I figured I would most likely gain it right back when the stress subsides or because of new breast weight and bloating mixed together. Never thought of the munchies guess I need to go shopping for more of that. Lol! I'm glad I'm not alone in this process or I would of freaked out already! That "what if" is a bad thing! I need to let it go! I hope I have a quick and tolerable 5 days with as less pain meds as possible. I'm so excited to get my new girls and show you ladies! Thanks for sharing your stories and lives with me lately!

DON'T STRESS. You said you trust your doctor? That's all you can do. I went back and forth on sizes in my head, thinking I would end up at a F cup or something ridiculous to thinking I would barely be a C and I would've wasted so much money. It is so hard not knowing what the results will be but the thing is, the PS does. They do this day in and day out and as long as you have explicitly stated what you are looking for and you feel you two are on the same page, he will deliver! You are on the home stretch now, just about a week left! It will fly. Just make sure you got everything ready, you have help with the little ones, and everything else will work itself out.

December 14, 2015
Thanks you! Yes home stretch now thank goodness! I think I have everything ready or let's say I hope lol. I'm sure I will be fine it's just me being a worry type of person. I always worry even if no need to. I will try to not worry so much though because you're right my PS job is to perfect his work. I know he is a great Surgeon as well.
December 14, 2015
Don't worry you will be fine and love the result! I'm just over 3 weeks post op and I look and feel great! I'd do it again in a heartbeat! Much luck to you!

December 14, 2015
Thanks! Happy healthy healing to you. Have you started the drop and fluff yet? I'm so god you feel great at 3 weeks out. I was hoping the pain goes away quickly as I have a toddler who keeps me busy. I will have help but she loves her Mommy and is not going to let me be alone for long. I am staying in a hotel the first night just to get time alone lol.

I dropped a few lbs right before surgery....the day of surgery I was 147lb then two days after sugery I was 155lb! I would say I average around 150lb. I looked up online and did a calculation to find out that my implants weigh about 6lbs total. (3.04lb each) I really wasn't thinking they would weight that much! :P

December 14, 2015
Wow I did not think implants weighed that much either haha I will look mine up afterwards to now

The formula I used was for silicone. You take the total amount of cc's (for me it's 650x2=1300cc) times 0.0375 ( I forget what that number is for) and then divide by 16 (for 16oz in lb) so for me is: 1300x0.0375 \ 16 =3.04lbs
I did forget to divide the 3lbs by 2 for each boob. Lol. So it's actually 1.5 each 3lb total. Lol
