Between Day 6 and today, I can see a difference!! You are getting some cleavage girly. ;)
WooHoo!! Thanx ;)
Your results look very good for being so early in the healing. Process,your breast look natural and will look better and better as they drop.I panicked when I saw my breast but I love them now!
Thanks! I just wish they were bigger. Boobie Greed is real!
I have a squeem binder and like it way better then the ibw hey sent me home with.
does the Squeem binder have metal boning in it?
I tried the squeem and it was great until I sat down. The rubber was really uncomfortable but my waist looked amazing. Now I'm back to Spanx.
I know the hooks were metal but I don't think the binding itself was metal. More like a hard rubber?
If you don't mind me asking, what was your bra sizes before and after surgery. 475cc's seems like a lot but it looks natural on you. I'm scheduled to get the gummy bear implants with 400cc's but I'm 5'8''/157 lbs. I want to be a small D cup afterwards.
I was a 36A beforehand. I'm now a 34D (but I still have fluffing to do... hopefully). I wish I would've went bigger, maybe 600ish. But 475s should get you to a D if you start out as small as I was. Good luck!

Utterly Speechless
I went to my 2 week postop today (promise to post pics soon). My surgeon said he used mod because the implant size I chose would need to be underfilled in the mod+ profile. My question is why didn't he measure me preop to determine what size and profile implant my body could accommodate? He offered to do a revision once I'm healed. That's too much stress on my body, I'm out of leave, and I'm sick of spending money on this. So allowing him to touch my body again after being so unprepared the first time is out of the question. But I'm still satisfied with my results so far, just disappointed that I don't have mod+ (and I would've gladly went up in size to have them). As far as the mini... swelling is still horrendous and I'm on my 5th binder (the 6th is in the mail). Either it's too tight, loose, or bulky. So any brand suggestions would be great? And the swelling is finally going down (I pee at least every hour now; sorry for the tmi). I was up 10 pounds...YIKES. And I'm off my pain meds. Yay!

Wow- finally someone else from Va Beach on here. I'm having surgery done by Dr. Denk at the same practice as your doc. Let your boobs drop, settle, and fluff. Are you already doing the massages for them?
Haha is this real?? Its so hard to find reviews on surgeons in Hampton Roads. But Dr. Jacobs started me on massages the day after surgery. Unfortunately I just don't think there's enough massage in the would to get rid of the wide flat look. I'm definitely going to do better research picking a surgeon next time. Good luck with Dr. Denk!
We'll see if they change over the next 3-6 months. Dr. Denk is known for fixing other's implants. That is initially why I picked him since what I need to have done is a revision for a ruptured implant. Since I'm going under, the hubs said to go for the tummy tuck too. My hubs is on leave now and continuing on until after my surgery. 'll see in 6 months if you still feel the same about your boobs.
didn't meant to sound redundant at the end.. wish we could edit our comments! LOL
Haha I've posted more than a few errors on here. But fingers crossed I'll have cleavage by fall. Extra good luck for the tummy tuck because the mini took my breath away. Having 2+ procedures done at the same time sucked the first few days but I'm definitely happy that I got it over at one time now!
I'm sorry your going through this and I want to Thank you for making me aware of the problem because I was going to get my boobs done but ImI'm going to wait now and just do my stomach with Dr. Jacobs
The stomach part is healing great (a full tt may have been better for me but seems too painful). Definitely plan on investing in a good compression garment because the one they give you sucks. But good luck with everything!
Go to see Dr. Denk for your boobs. He's at the same practice.
Thanks Have you tried the spanx brand (you can buy it at Dillards)I have some now and I love them they are hard as hell to get on but the hold me in LOL! And I think target has a brand that does a pretty good job as well try those out
Thanks for the recommendation I think I was trying to push my luck with more than one surgery at a time I'm a single mother of 5 children so I need be back up and running in about a month and I know I can wait on the boobs but my stomach I'm through waiting on LOL
I'm only taking a month off from work. My hubs will only be with me for about a week before he has to go back to work.
I picked up two pairs of spanx and also 2 of the maidenform flexees. it's a fully body type thing that i can wear my own bra with. i wanted something that i can open the crotch. don't wanna have to pull spanx up and down all day in the beginning.
Spanx has been good, but since I pee every hour on the hour now because of the extra fluid (sorry tmi) it gets in the way. I ordered a corset like garment so my bottom can be free haha.
Wow multiple surgeries would be insane in that case. But I know that stomach feeling. It's so nice seeing my feet when I stand up lol. See you on the other side!
