Hey Girls. I've been reading reviews on this site for months and finally decided to make one. I had my surgery yesterday, April 15th. I'm 22, 105 lbs, about 5'4. Decided to get 375 CC's, "Gummy Bear" silicone implants, High profile, sub muscular. After years of wanting them, I finally saved up enough and got it done. I'm really happy with the results. I have to say, after reading all the reviews, I'm really surprised that I have barely felt any pain since my surgery and have been pretty much able to do everything. This might be due to the strict diet I was on a month prior to surgery which might be helping me heal quickly. I was not given any type of bra to wear after surgery and I'm sure my doctor has a reason for this but I'm wondering if anyone knows why my surgeon wouldn't give me a compression bra. I was also wondering if any other girls who got 'gummy bears' has seen a significant drop, and if so, how long? Any answers/comments would be appreciated, thanks!

Day 3 Post-Op
The day after surgery (yesterday) was by far the worst in terms of soreness. Feeling much better today! So far, pain has been minimal, just hoping they drop soon, haven't seen the slightest difference even though its only been 3 days, im so impatient :p

I think you look great 1 day after surgery; they are reaally nice; are you happy with the outcome? How do you like the gummy bears so far? Are they soft?
April 17, 2013
Thanks! I am happy, although I do wish I went bigger because I heard they'll look smaller once they drop, but others say they might look bigger so i'm not sure. I love the shape of the gummys and i know they are the safest implant out but I'm still so swollen and hard from surgery so as far as the softness, I can't tell yet. Hoping they'll drop soon!

Yep everyone is different with some people they get smaller when they dropped and fluff but mine always got bigger; 3 months is final results but sometimes it takes longer than that; they are going to change so much everyday; I'm constantly seeing changes with mine; good ones though; take weekly pictures so you can see your progress week by week; you'll be amazed!

Holy smokes do your boobs look AWESOME! What kind of diet were you on before your surgery? Mine is scheduled for June so I want to prep as best as I can . Thanks!

Hey, thanks so much! I pretty much ate a lot of fruit, veggies, and protien. Tons of eggs, chicken, broccoli..whole foods like that. I think the two most important things to watch out for are sodium intake (NO salt!) And foods that thin your blood. If you're taking fish oil pills, it'd be a good idea to stop, since this is a major blood thinner. Also, def no smoking, sweets, or fast food... and LOTS of water.

Thanks for the tips! I used to weight lift and this sounds like a similar diet I was on. Time to get back on it! :-) Your boobs are so dang pretty! Adding them to my wishlist!

When in June is your surgery mine is scheduled for June as well :) Good luck on your new ladies!

They look really good. My doc recommended the same size you got. Who is your surgeon?
April 17, 2013
Thankyou.. my surgeons name is Dr.Beran. I have a really small frame and I still kind of wish i went bigger, but I heard that's really normal right after surgery. Although, my DR said if i went any bigger they'd start looking fake, so its more of a give & take.
April 18, 2013
I don't want the fake look either. My doc recommended silicone. Has he done anyone else that you know?
April 17, 2013
Mine are two weeks post op and they still haven't dropped. What size were you before ?
April 17, 2013
I was a 32A. Two weeks and still nothing? Oh no! I heard it takes about 3 months to be 80% dropped and fluffed. Too long! Lol

So its been one week since my surgery. Starting to love my new girls! Actually kind of mad that I didn't have this surgery sooner. Just been eating tons of pineapple for the bromelain in it which helps with inflammation. Still not able to sleep on my sides, never thought I would get used to sleeping on my back! My girls are still kind of hard/up high. Still have no feeling on the bottom half of my breasts, as well. I definitely see a difference every morning that I wake up, though. They drop more and more each day. My boyfriend is coming home from vacation tomorrow and is going to see them for the first time, should be interesting! :P

Your boobs are amazing!!! I am scheduled for June to get the "gummy bear" implants, I am going with 500cc Mod but I am a much larger frame than you, Any tips for after surgery? & I can only hope mine look half way as good as yours!

You look fabulous, I got my sientra gummy bears in March and love them!!! Mine are textured so they don't "drop" they just soften but stay put. You'll be soooo pleased with the gummy bears, they get soft and so natural. You might end up being bigger than you expected once they drop.. I got 400cc (deflated B pre op) and I measure a 34DD now at 7 weeks post op. (5'7, 125lbs) enjoy!!!

Do you think your boobs got bigger? I got 450cc but I wish I got 550cc! I am 4 week post op and wish I hadve got bigger ones

They don't get "bigger" per se.. But they do relax a bit and settle, so they will start to look slightly larger on the bottom and they'll fill out bras better.
