Decided to do a review last minute because this site has been extremely helpful these past few weeks as I've gotten closer to my surgery date.

I'm 30 mother of two (5 and 18 mo). I have a tall athletic and curvy body. I'm doing the breast aug to gain the boobage I've had before kids and weigh loss.

I am going with 550cc HP mentor gel implants. Being that I have a taller frame and curvy to become more portioned to my body.

Good luck! I'm following you because I'm tall, too.

When is your surgery? The 500cc sizers look great on you!

I'm so glad you started your review! You have a nice body so I'm sure your end result is going to look amazing! We will probably end up with around the same size implants. I'm super excited for you for tomorrow.

No it's $5885. I noticed it earlier and wasn't sure how to change it from the app. Sorry for the confusion.

I did! I'm on my second week post surgery. Love them! He and the staff, can't say enough about them!! They are still sore and riding high:) I have a little bruising, but expected he said. How are you doing? Are you still going to the office? I am going almost every 2 or 3 days so he can keep an eye on the massaging

So the girls are here. I'm still extremely swollen and it looks like they are in my armpits but we started massaging yesterday. It's painful but hoping it helps as the days go by. It's definitely more painful then I expected. Everything is so tight it's my back and arms that bother me the most. I'm just ready for them to drop abs the swelling to go down. My PS used 650cc HP mentor gel implants. We were going for 550cc but he felt the 650 was a better fit. I'm tall so hopefully I carry it well.

You did it! Wow, you went up to 650cc - good for you! I know it's early but the size looks good from what I can see. Hearing you say it was more painful than you expected scares me a little. I have my preop tomorrow so hopefully I will have a size picked. I look forward to seeing pics as they progress. Hopefully someone is taking good care of you :-).

don't be scared, I was just expected it to be easy and not such a long process. The first day was the worst and I feel it may also be because the implants are so big. I've had friend that said they were fine with it. Everyone's different, and you will do fine. I'm feeling pretty good now and not even taking the pain meds and its day 5. Still tight and riding super high but besides that I've been getting up and about pretty good. Thankfully my hubby has been home to help because I would of been a mess without any assistance. You don't realize how much you use your chest muscles for literally everything. I felt like a full size toddler walking around needing help with everything, I couldn't even open my prescriptions myself because I couldn't push the bottle and turn at the same time. LoL kind of funny now that I think of it.

The PS asked me if I wanted to lean more towards being fuller if he felt I needed to go up in CC's was I okay with that and I said yes but didn't expect 650 CC's but its all done now.

Okay, tell me how you are feeling about the 650cc's? I tried sizers at the preop today and ended up liking the 600 and 650 sizers. I left leaning towards the 650cc's at the end of the appointment so I have to check in with you see how you are feeling about everything.

They are still very high!!! But aren't feeling as huge as I thought when I heard 650. I go in tomorrow for a other checkup. The massaging is feeling great now and I am moving my arms freely with ease. I'll post another picture later today. I've been reading so much about how 650 is such a huge implant and most people shouldn't attempt this look. Had me feeling kinda concerned but I honestly don't look that big. I think our bodies are the exception. There's always going to be negative things you read on the Internet when you search s specific thing. Let me know what you decide on.

Yay for new pics!! I can't imagine you with anything smaller...those are perfect on you. I had sorta started talking myself back down to 550-600 but now I think 650 looks amazing on your frame and maybe that would be best for me. So glad to hear you are feeling great!

Yeah I have more but need to do it from the computer. I'm excited about them and kinda glad my PS went up. I have a small bwd but they still look good. I had one PS tell me I wouldn't be able to go higher then 450. Glad I went elsewhere bc I think that would of looked so small on me now that I see 650. Thank you for the comments. I think I would of ruled 600-650 completely had I known originally. I was set on 500 and when my PS pushed 550 I was doubting it. I think you are making a great decision. PS have no intention on making people look wierd or as mine said like "Dolly Parton" lol. Even if in the beginning I felt like he was kinda pushing me to go higher he really knew I needed it to achieve the look I wanted.
