Just had my first consultation yesterday for BA....
WORTH IT$7,000
Just had my first consultation yesterday for BA. It went well the Dr. explained everything. He took 3D images of me with the implants in. It looked amazing!!! I have four more appointments with four other surgeons. This Dr. recommended 295cc in the right and 280cc in the left. I want gummy bear implants and submuscular for sure. I'm hoping that I'll eventually be able to do pull ups and push ups again in the gym!!

Second consultation
So i had the second consultation with a second surgeon yesterday. I really liked him, however I'm not sure on how he does the procedure. The patient is not under general anesthesia, they are given IV sedation with a local block. I'm a vet tech and know a lot about IV drugs and anesthesia for animals. I read that more surgeons are doing this method. I just worry I'll feel pain and won't be able to tell him because I'm drugged up. Any thoughts ladies??????

hi, I did general anesthesia. The IV knocked me out, then I was up right after the surgery. I had submuscular 325cc silicone inserted in each breast. The only problem with me right now is, 5 days post op, I want to move around allot and can't. I'm sore - like 400 pushups sore - and I get nauseated if I do too much movement. My ps gave me a chest strap to wear for the next 2 months to ensure that my super strong pec muscles will not shove the implants upward. I'm going through gym withdrawls.... p.s. get your implants the same size. Different sizes = different widths. Not cool. You want those girls the same width or they will look assymetrical.

Hi:) I had iv sedation with local anesthesia (marcaine) around the breasts and in the insition site. Worked perfectly, I slept really well, and when I woke up I cleared up fast, and the local was working very well still. Just started adding my prescribed drugs in a regular manner at once, because I was very much afraid of bad pain, but I never had;-) Good luck to you!

Why not consider sub glandular? Super easy recovery and back to the gym in no time without any worries about your pecs pressing down on the implant. My PS recommended over the muscle because my pecs were large and would have created further sagging by pressing the implant down. I wanted sub glandular, but I never thought he would recommend it!! I had general anesthesia and was also awoken right after the procedure and sent home. It made me feel tired for a few days, but no pain from the surgery, only the nerve zingers and engorged feeling.

I want it to look as natural as possible that's why i want submuscular. My friend just did a bikini show and she just got subglanular. She to bounced back quickly.

I have had 2 breast surgeries in the last 9 mo. My advice: go with as big as you can, and go sub muscular .
I have my surgery in two days time for 275cc and I am still choosing between Gummy bear implants or the rounded low profile (which apparently fall into a tear drop shape anyway).
I was adamant I wanted the gummy bear because of its natural look - however I have been told they don't feel as natural as the rounded implants. Since you have the gummy bears - Can I ask what is your experience with this?
I also heard that the gummy bears can rotate and give a deformative shape which is another reason why I am now leaning on the rounded implants.
I'd love your view on this.
Many thanks
