I've never really had full and perky breast, but since having kids they have gotten even worse. I'm currently a 36c. My doctor and I are hoping to do a 350 cc implant on both sides safely with the lift. I've already had my pre-op and it seemed standard to everyone elses. I'm excited for my procedure.

Thank you. I'll try to keep updated as often as possible. Realself has been so helpful to me, mostly about being patient and how the best results really come with time. I hope to help someone else as this site has done for me . :)

Thank you. The scars are what I am concerned about the most. I think mostly because I have such little control over that. Only time will tell.

You can always do scar sheets or micropore 3m tape or scar guard. To help it along. No smoking cigarettes, really effects scar

That's understandable! If I ever feel like my results aren't exactly what I was hoping for, I look at my before pictures and then my most recent pictures. The change is amazing and I'm definitely happy with how things have turned out!

Starting to have second thoughts

nugsmn
I had a few random conversations this week that have lead me to think I am not making a fantastic choice about getting the implants. Though, having larger breasts will be a perk from the surgery, I really want a pretty chest and to be lifted as well as symmetrical. Some guy friends of mine were telling me that they would be concerned with them not feeling real and not really being a fan of them (fake boobs on women). I want to feel confident, but at the same time I am not looking to turn off men, in the end that will make me self conscious again. Hoping you girls have some advice of similar situations that turned out to be the false of what they are saying. Or know of any men or husbands who thought that and are now happy. Thanks. :/

You can see from my review that I had second thoughts about implants the week before my surgery. I was freaking out and worried about being too big and the added complication risks that come along with implants. What I ended up doing was spending some time looking at plenty of reviews for just lifts with no implants. I looked at the before and after pictures and I finally decided that I would be much happier with my results if I got the implant too. I will say that at just about 6 weeks post OP I am so happy that I got the implants! I have been happy all along, but I have been especially satisfied with my results this week. My breasts are so soft and squishy (I have silicone so that might help with the feel.) I really honestly don't look fake at all when I'm wearing clothing. Even without clothes they don't look overly fake. I think that you need to make the decision that's right for you, and only you can decide what to want. I think that if you want a more natural look and feel you should be able to achieve that. I think the guys who you spoke to probably are thinking of gigantic [RS bleep] star fake boobs. If you stay within a reasonable amount of ccs you shouldn't look or feel overly fake.

Not everyone gets under the muscle. Even still they feel real and squishy. Plus all people like A different thing. Some people want upper pole fullness, super round. Others want a teardrop natural shape

I wouldn't call them fake boobs, they are enhanced boobs. These same guys that made that comment probably had never felt augmented breast. I have only got the chance to feel and squeeze two other ladies, and they felt natural. And mine are squishy and feel just like they did when I was a teenager. The implant is placed behind the chest muscle, than your own breast tissue on top of that, so actually the implant is pretty deep in there.

Puppydog, I bet you're right about them not ever feeling an augmented breast. I will admit in the past I had a certain idea about "fake boobs" and what they looked like etc. Seeing mine, I really don't feel like they're "fake". I agree that they're enhanced. Maybe it would be different if I went from an A cup to where I'm at. But I already had a lot of tissue and I definitely don't feel fake at all. Just enhanced and better than ever. ;)

Yes. Me too. I also had an idea of fake boobs, boob job etc. Actually, that thinking was one reason that caused me to wait as long as I have, to get this surgery.

Thanks and it's probably my nerves getting the best of me. I can not wait for Thursday so the surgery can just be behind me.

I am curious to see how different my breasts feel after I get the implants. I hope its isn't too drastic of a difference. Thanks for helping put my fears at bay. Just a few days!

One more day between me and my surgery

I'm getting ridiculously excited!. I received my apt time today. I am the last surgery since it's longer due to the lift and the implants instead of just the implants. I have to be there at 1115. The funny thing is that I wasn't scared at all until I started writing this post. I know it will all be worth it in the end. I pray for positive results and an easy recovery with speedy healing. I hope my scars are minimal too. Aaahh time for rest, I'm sure I'll just have another dream about the procedure though.
