WORTH IT$9,000
Both have settled in perfectly and the scars are barely noticeable as they are placed in the crease. I've had no problem with working out or sports. My new final bra size is 34 D or 32DD depending on bra brands. I love that I can wear sports bra and not have a flattened chest, keeping my curves now! Also to throw on a good underwrite (no padding) and they look perfectly big enough. I have the peace of mind with the safety of saline and would choose the same to do it all again.

How do they feel?
That's the big question right? Do they feel real? No is my answer, not real but here is how I feel about them. I can feel the difference from what is my boob and where the implant is. My boob is more squishy then the implant but the implant is nice and soft with the firmness I like, to give me the perkiness and shape. I didn't expect them to feel real but was hoping and succeeded in having them feel so comfortable that I forget any different. I can feel some aches still when I over due it on lifting but I know that muscle needs the time to heal. (yard work using heavy wheel barrel gave me small pains in left muscle but went away in about a week). My nipples are fine now with no sensitivity to touch (no nip issues after 8 weeks) I finally bought my first under wire bra (34 D) last week. Fits awesome, so pretty, but by the end of the day I wished I had my sports bra back on. I almost forgot how sore they get wearing wire all day...urggh what we go though to feel pretty and put together!

Not sure if you are still on here? Just wondering how you're doing a year out? I'm 4.5 months post op with Ideal implants.

I love them! The scars are barely visible, they feel good and Squishy like a boob my husband will say ;)
I still get a bit of a burning pain in my left boob if I overdue on lifting or pulling (I do a lot of garden/yard landscaping) but it goes away rather quickly. I have such a natural size for my shape that most would never know I had them done unless its a bikini pool day then some might think "perky boobs for a 42 yr old with 2 kids" lol
I hope you are healing and feeling well at 4.5 and loving yours too.

Thank you SO much for sharing your story. I have a similar body size and shape to you. I've had several consults as I am borderline lift as well. Did your surgeon do a dual plane augmentation? I've also had two local surgeons tell me the Ideal isn't great as it has 2 ports instead of one. I'd really like to get those implants, but the surgeons are pushing me towards silicone. I'd love your input.

No he just did under muscle there was no discussion for dual plane. I like the ideal with 2 ports...its the reason why they feel more real (having the baffles prevent sloshing of saline) or as some say more like silicone versions. My doc was great not pushing either way for ideal or silicone but he really loves the ideal and was confident with my concerns with silicone that ideal was a perfect choice for me. I still have a bit of sag but I chose to not have a lift and I think my boobs look natural still. I really do love my ideal choice. I'll post pic updates tomorrow.

Thank you! I think my doc was concerned with an extra port that there is more risk of rupture. It's a tough decision as I really like the Ideal implant details I've read so far.

They have settled in nice now. Right one is still slightly higher. Bought 2 new bathingsuits today...felt so amazingly awesome! Back to playing beach volleyball (competitive) and absolutely no sloshing feeling and they do not get in the way.
