5'9" 155lbs, 500cc mod plus overs

Thanks sooo much!! =) I know there's a journey ahead and I'm ready. Xoxo

Thank you so much!! I've definitely gone a little overboard, I feel like I need a whole new wardrobe lol =)

Thanks so much! Well I also had some mild sagging and actually decided against a lift and they look great, the larger implant definitely did the job.. So, my PS recommended going over the muscle because he stated my chest muscle sits high on my chest and would not give a good result.. and also that I had enough breast tissue to start with... I love them, recovery was a piece of cake, they are soft and I'm so happy.. The sizers gave me such an accurate idea also... Good luck with everything =)

thanks for letting me know....did you try the rice sizers at home or should I not bother? the preop is when I do the sizers and also the full balance is due, but I feel think I want more time to go over size etc...im also going to combine it with a full TT so its all a little overwhelming. do you know what size bra you wear y
et in a brand other than VS(since I know their sizing is not accurate)?

I completely relate, I went in for my preop and settled on size and paid in full (I never tried rice sizers at home).. a few days later after seeing more tall women say our bodies just eat up cc's I asked to come back in again and went up 50 more cc's settling on that size! I'm happy I did.. No, I haven't been sized yet, I'm waiting a tad bit longer to ensure it's not swelling and closer to the final product haha..

Yes, oddly he did say to lie flat on them for 15 mins a day putting more weight and pressure as bearable... I do massage them gently each night with my hands. I've read so many things about the scar tissue forming around a subglandular implant so I have been doing that.

Oh great advice, I'll try that! Thank you so much.

No worries, I'm glad I saw your concern so I could possibly help... hope it helps... best of luck =))

I am glad also, the relief was instant!! It works and feels so much better. You're awesome

Ohhhhhhh that's fantastic!!! Thank goodness..... I had actually been wondering if thst may be a concern for me next week..as I have a long torso and I find the surgical bra I already purchased already rides up under the crease and I don't even have implants yet! Yikes... I'm so happy it worked for you..... oh... ifvyou dont kind me asking, what kind did you use? I never us maxi pads and have no idea what to pick up..just in case I find myself in the same predicament. =))

I had some regular Always lying around, and they are great not too bulky. Yes, exactly my torso is so long, I have that issue quite often!

Well.. thank YOU for being the Guinea pig ... lol.... I'll grab some just in case!!! Now you really can have a happy healing =)) xo

Thanks so much! That makes complete sense, I hope once the swelling goes down the bra will be perfect.. I definitely want everything held in place while they heal. And yes the maxi pads advice was great and helps tremendously

Thank you so much! Did you get any relief once the swelling went down or did you end up switching into your own bra

I was only in my surgical bra for a week but it would hurt a lot around the rib area so I would loosening it up by unfastening the last hook. Also I would take it off for 15 mins and put it back on.

Ooh I didnt even think about not fastening the last hook, I've gotta try that! Thank you

Thank you so much! I am so anxious now for the changes they will go through now over time.. I will definitely post updates =)

Hey, no problem at all... So did je tell you why you should go over tje muscle? He told me my breast muscle was high up on my chest, and I had enough breast tissue. When he was marking me right before surgery he kept stressing "gravity is not going to be your friend"... lol. I do truly feel the pain was minimal, I literally only feel pressure and no pain. I've taken 2 pain meds, one right after I got home out of fear that the pain might start, and again 9 hours later just to help with sleeping... but none today. The nurse called me the day before to tell me my surgery time of 8am. I arrived 15mins early and wasnt even given my paperwork to fill out until about 8:35. The nurses were great but the process and wait was pretty long. I was then brought back to the preop room, where I undressed and got into a gown and my warm socks (bring some, its freezing in there). I waited in there for another 30-35 mins for Dr. Hartog to come in and take photos and do markings, all together I've seen him maybe 15 mins since my initial consult.. he asked if I had questions and at that point said he'd like to go 50cc larger in my R breast instead of 25cc. Then back into the room, the nurse came in to take my vitals and ask for a urine sample for a final pregnancy test. Back again
to wait on the anesthesiologist, she came in to ask a few questions then finally took me into the operating room to start the IV. By this time it was already almost 11am!! I cant remember anything from that point, besides waking up to my husband and new boobies haha. Sat in recovering very nauseous for about 10 minutes, the nurse gave me a shot to ease the nausea, gave me some water for my cotton mouth and after about another 5 mins... it was time to go. The staff is great, didnt see the Dr much at all but other than long wait times the day of, everyone's very helpful and nice. He called me the night of and asked how I was... I feel great, and LOVE them so far.. please feel free to ask anything you'd like =)

Thanks so much for your reply. Hopefully the wait won't be as long because idk how I'd handle that. My nerves are already pretty shot. Thanks for the heads up about the socks. Lol. That's one thing I didn't buy yet. Did you take any arnica pills prior to surgery? Did they seem to help if so? I bought some and they should be here in a few days. Figured it can't hurt to try them.

No I didnt, haven't read anything about them.. you will be just fine! Good luck with everything
