6 Week Post-Op: Allergan 435cc HP Under the Muscle (crease incision). New Pics!

Hello ladies!
Since deciding to have plastic surgery, I have become "boob obsessed" on this site! (So has my husband!).
About me: 44 years old, 5'5" and 118lbs. I have a two and half year old son and a six month old girl (she'll be six months at sx date)--I am very nervous about caring for them after sx so any suggestions would be great. Also you should know that I am also undergoing upper blepheroplasty and lower facelift at the same time. I know. I'm crazy...only want general once plus I have help during May post operatively.
I am on my way to try in sizers again with higher profiles. I'm afraid the Mentor 375cc will be too small after. I am currently a very average A cup and I want a D cup after. I've read that you can expect approx 15% compression with cohesive silicone under the muscle. Today, my husband and I will look at Mentor 375 Mod+, 400 Mod+, 450HP (I think these will be too big) and Allergan style 435cc which the nurse said will give me the most projection.
It's hard to judge with sizers since its like two round eggs sitting on each other whereas after the sx, they will be nestled so to speak. I'll let you know after today's try-in! We both have a good feeling about the 435's. Funny!
I'll post before pics very soon. I still have 37 days to go! Ugh!

So we went for sizing again yesterday (Saturday)...
When I initially tried the sizes, I was convinced that the Mentor 375cc Mod+ were the size I was going with--no questions asked. Well, as I mentioned in my previous post, the Allergan 435cc HP are what I have finally decided on. I was against the 450's initially thinking they looked "fake" but when I compared the measurements with the 435's there is only a 0.3 mm difference in projection height. The Allergan's have the diameter that is good for me with a 4.9 cm projection. The Mentor 450 has 5.2. Really, no one will EVER be able to tell the difference between the two. Even my ps joked that it's more a psychological thing that I have to go through. My deciding factor was that the Allergan's are slightly more firm and they are lighter.
I have decided that under the muscle (or dual-plane) is what I will be going with since future mammograms are important to me and the breast tissue is easier to visualize or "read" when implants are placed below the muscles.
We also all joked that the fact that my face will be basically "peeled off" and cut away, it's the boobs I am obsessed with! Lol! I guess because the face is out of my control and the implants are solely up to me.
Often Women think if I go bigger I will look better,but the truth of the matter
is go with what fits your body,and I think you did that.
