Breast Implants

[sexkitten]

i have a large chest for my body size, and i was considering getting a lift as well as implants just to keepmy size. Im a natural d-dd. I have been doing research so im not rushing into anything but i had some questions for you girls who have had the surgery:

1. have you gone under or over the muscle?

2. would you change anything about your surgery?

3. is anyone from the ny/long island area who would highly reccomend a surgeon?

any other info would be greatly appreciated.

i also never had ANY surgery done before and i wanted to know approx how long the procedure is, and you feel when you wake up.

I have not had my breasts done, but had a consult. With a lift + implant your scar will most likely look like this: --) (I have had other ps work done)

Your PS (plastic surgeon) will take pics, etc -- make sure you are comfortable with that person. Get a few different consults. It also helped me to watch the PS shows on TV as well as ps chat rooms.... like www.liposite.com -- although they appear to be only for lipo, the people in the chat room have had all sorts of surgery done & they are very nice.

As for after surgery........ Make sure that the person who is picking you up brings you Lifesavers or other hard candy & chapstick!! I had severe cottonmouth & cracked lips. The nurse will of course give you water, etc but I found it didn't help....... You may have trouble lifting your arms over your head & you really shouldn't right away, nor drive. You will be sore.

Feel free to ask if you have any other questions....

A couple other excellent sites to help you do research, find a doc & talk with other people are:

www.implantinfo.com
www.implantforum.com

Implantinfo.com gives you basically a checklist of how to go about locating & researching a doc, checking his/her credentials & also if they've ever had any malpractice claims against them, etc.

Personally, I used implantinfo.com to guide my trek towards & following the surgery. I wanted to go from a very small B to a C-ish. I talked to 4 different docs in my area (these are usually free consults so USE them to determine if you are comfortable with the doc).

I went under the muscle, with a very light scar under the nipple. 36B to 36D. The pain was amazingly miserable the first day and part of the second day. The unders are a longer recovery period because they go into the muscle. But I didn't like the idea of the implant just sort of being held by only skin. Talk to people and doctors about which one you would prefer. The doc I chose also generally did unders. I think alot of FBBs get overs because the recovery time is very quick.

I think the surgery lasted a couple hours and then they moved me into the recovery room to sleep for a few more hours and then get my ride home. Definitely make sure you have a ride home because you CANNOT drive yourself. I'd say generally w/ unders the first 2 days suck the big one (and definitely use the painkillers!!!!!). It feels like an elephant standing on your chest. By Day 4 I was off the painkillers. I took a week off from work to recover. About a week after I stopped the painkillers I got unexplainably depressed - this was the detox from the painkillers. (After that experience I have HYUGE respect for what its like to come off of an addiction...)

You definitely don't want to and generally can't lift your arms above your shoulders. During the recovery period I moved all my dishes, etc. to the counter level so I wouldn't get stuck having to lift my arms high. Driving was what I had the most problem with because it was very hard (and hurt) to turn around like when backing up. Those things where I couldn't turn my whole upper body, just hurt. After 3 weeks 95% of the pain was gone. I went out dancing all night w/ no bra that weekend.

I started back in the gym in 3 weeks but stayed away from upper body. I sort of worked into upper body as it was comfortable. I started training for a BB competition 3 months after the surgery. My chest was definitely tight and took some work to loosen up the scar tissue from the implants, but it was all good I asked my doc before the surgery if there would be any impact to my ability to develop my pectorals and he said no. Granted the guy was not a specialist in strength training, but that is what he said. I can't say I've experienced anything that made me think it affected my chest development since then.

Two things that resulted from the surgery - I can't lay flat on my chest without it feelign weird and I have to strap 'em in REAL good to do any sort of bouncing or running.

I think if you check out the two websites above you will find almost everythign you could possibly need to educate yourself & make the decision.

Good luck!

^^ Thanks for posting those other sites, Sassy...... I couldn't remember the names of them!!

 

[sexkitten]

thanks so much.. i had another question which is important to me: i wanted to know for those who actually had the surgery, what type of anestesia you had.. im not too hot on the idea of being put completly out so i was considering the one where you are conscious but they give you local shots where the surgery would be taking place. i was curiouse if anyone ever had this type and what their experiences were

sorry to answer, cuz I didn't have the breast surgery, but with that type of surgery I don't think the local is an option......

I've had both types and came out of both right away. The side effects of the general were a little tough, but depending on the type of surgery you'll have, the dr. may not use any other type. He won't want you to move around which you can do under local/twilight.

 

[Sassy69]

Eek. Do they actually do local anesthesia for breast augmentations??? Man, I just wanted to be out cold. I had foot surgery several years ago & I remember distinctly when the doc started poking at my big toe with something sharp while the drugs were still taking over. I also remember kicking back LOL! I've also had some gum surgery where they just gave me an Ambien to get me sort of sleepy and then brought out the mongo novacaine shot. Goddammit I hated that. I had a total of 4 surgeries for reconstructive gum surgery & I demanded a knock out for the other 3. Yuk.

But to that point, when you are interviewing docs, make sure they have clearance to work w/ a qualified hospital and also have no history of issues w/ the anesthesia. Actually I never thought about it - but u usually pay the anesthetist directly, separately from the doc - I imagine if you got the person's name, you could also verify their credentials & also any malpractice history. I think there's a very small chance of problems w/ the anesthesia but it can still happen, so if you choose to go that way you can verify the facts about the organization's ability to handle a problem if one does happen, and also determine if there's been aproblem in the past. Definitely ask them directly when you interview the doc during your consult.

And with both the guys who use anesthesia and whoever you find who uses only local, ask if you can talk to some of their patients. Just as you would want for yourself, the doc protects the privacy of his patients, but they will usually offer to give your name & phone number to previous patients who agree to relate their experience and the person will call you. I had one place tell me they would only let me talk to one of their patients after I paid for the surgery (dont' remember if it was the whole fee or the deposit). I didn't go back to that guy. I think that's bullshit personally.

 

[jenscats5]

^^ For my first plastic surgery, I had blood work & stuff done well beforehand to eliminate any problems....

Also the anesthesiologist quizzed me the day of surgery -- they are very serious when they say NO food or drink for 12 hours.....he said he would have cancelled had I had anything.....

My surgery was 1 global fee of $5k -- included everything.....

 

[Puddles]

I was a 36D when I went in for surgery and came out a 36DD, lift and implants and only went up one size, just what I wanted. I used to be a JJ when I nursed my daughter for a year so the lift was definitely needed. I went under the muscle to help prevent future sagging and so I could have regular mamograms in the future, if you go over the muscle they can't do mamograms, instead they do ultrasounds which aren't quite as good for cancer detection. I will describe under the muscle implant post-op pain like this...imagine taking a big softball and shoving it under your pec muscle, it stretches the muscle over the implant and hurts like a SOB! The first few days after surgery really sucked but just stay on the pain meds and you'll get through it. I was put out for the surgery and I think it took a little over 4 hrs. After the surgery you'll get shooting pains out of nowhere but they go away as fast as they come on. The most annoying thing post-op for me was constipation for the week after surgery. I just didn't have to poop and wound up having to use metamucill and soppositories to clean myself out just to feel human again. I also used a step stool when I was cooking and preparing food in the kitchen so I didn't have to reach my arms up (I'm short). I don't react badly to anestessia so when I woke up I was just kind of groggy and dizzy. After I got home I guess it was like I was a bit drunk. Hubby went to pick up my daughter from school and I wound up walking around my back yard and visiting with a neighbor on her patio. LOL

Hey P -- how are you doing with the "girls" now? All better?

You'd think so by now, but when I went on vacation with my friend 2 weeks ago I developed an infecion the night before we left. The day we got to the beach my boob was sore and red on the underside, by that night about 75% of my breast was red and hurting, then as I took my shirt off it opened up and all the bad stuff poured out (litterally about 3 tablespoons). I was on an antibiotic the next morning and all's fine now. This was the first infection I had since the last re-do back in February. I know it was from one of the disolvable stitches because of where it opened up. These stitches were pre-treated with an antibiotic to prevent infection problems like I had the first time, but I just can't go with disolvable anymore. Lesson learned.

I'm still glad I had the procedure done. I just have to wear sexy lingerie to cover the scars for now and I don't really mind that. I did pick up some Dermablend (professional make-up to cover scars) and it works very nicely. I use it when we're having 3-somes just in case the lingerie doesn't stay on. LOL

 

[makalauna]

I had mine done in May of this year and have had no problems. I went with unders,450cc overfilled to 500. I love them!!!The site I went to for advice id breastimplants4you.com. There are a wonderful bunch of woman there that will answer all your questions!!

 

[Carmen]

sexkitten...
i'm from LI and surprise surprise... have implants... they look and feel amazingly real, considering that not one guy on this site has even questioned their realness and i'm not shy about posting pics.
pm me for info- my doc was awesome and i'd recommend him to anyone.
btw, i already had big boobies and very full pec muscles (big bencher), so a lot of what someone would feel on me is real breast tissue.

 

[Pamela]

I must be one of the lucky ones.
I didn't have any problems at all. I felt great afterwards, but I was filled with pain meds.
When I came home rested for a few hrs. then went for a short walk. Back to doing legs(light) the next day. Back to full body workout within a couple of weeks.
But I think everyone is different.

I don't think or I don't know of a surgeon that would do it local. I would be out! Just like Sassy said.

Just take your time, read get all the information you can..

Good luck.

dr. robert cooper in rockville centre and great neck.
he was great.

 

[kjgray]

My mom bought me implants for my 18th birthday. I went from a 34A- a 34D, they are under the muscle and he made one tiny incision along the bottom edge of my areola. My surgery was at 8am, and by 1pm THE SAME DAY- I was at the mall trying on new clothes for my new big chest! I was definitly a little dopey from my meds, but I had no probles at all. No scars or anything!

Dr. Leonard Grossman (NYC/Brooklyn)
Did my transumbillically (through the belly button)...no scars...over the muscle....high profile implant for more projection and less of that fake look.
If you're getting a lift, he's developing a scarless breast lift...might wanna chat with him on that. His number is 1-718-934-5500. Please pm me and i will give you my name as a referral.
He did an amazing job.

I also had it over the muscle as well... i had very little discomfort that day and the next. as others have mentioned you want to make sure that you have things at level with your chest as it is not a good idea to lift your arms over your head, but your surgeon will talk to you about what you can/ cannot do... it took me a couple of weeks to get back into the gym... i have very light little scars underneath the breast... i went from a 36b/c to a 36d... the only thing i would do differently is go larger!!! someday i'll probably go back and get them redone! i'm from the albany (ny) area and went to the plastic surgery group... they were great!

 

[Lee]

if u want a mans point of view, i would not go with implants. im not trying to insult anyone here by any means, but when i look at a woman, i look at them at a natural point of view. i try to picture them with no makeup, not dressed up, just all natural. lifts are one thing, theres nothing wrong with a lift, but i personally believe people should be, for the most part, content with the body god gave them. if u cant fix it naturally, dont get it dont unnaturally. and plus, any D cuz is a good size, no need for anymore size.

OUCH! why would anyone want to do that???

 

[fitnessgrl8621]

OUCH! why would anyone want to do that???

A friend of mine had gone to the same doctor (and also had local, said it didn't hurt at ALL, etc., etc.. riiiight hehe)... She's the one that recommended him (which I def. DONT!)... and I was young, had just turned 18, naive .

GENERAL.

 

[AlbinoRhino]

My ex wife had them done and her doctor went through her belly button. I noticed everyone else here has been talking about scars and what not, why has no one even mentioned the going through the belly button procedure?

If you haven't heard of this all the do is make a small incision in your belly button and run a tube up your torso under your breast, place the saline bag there, and pump it up. I guess there is a little bit more pain involved due to shoving the tubes up your torse, but then again theres no pain and less risk for infection.

Also my question here. Is it very important for a woman to have breast surgery? Me and my new girlfriend have had in depth discussion about this and she is dead set on this being very important to her, not even so much as a sex issue but more a fashion issue I guess. She says none of her clothes fit her well and it has always been an irritation to her. Im an ass man myself so I really don't care, it's the cost that is irritating. My GF has small B cups.

So ladies tell me how important do you think it is to have nice looking breasts?

 

[PowerPrincess]

extremely important...and i did it through the bellybutton too.

 

[Sassy69]

The importance of it depends on where you are coming from. I get irritated when girls w/ really nice breasts say they want to get bigger, and most of them say that when they are like 21 yrs old. I've been a bowling pin shaped person w/ small, declining B cups & gigantic hips. I lived w/ that until I was 34 and decided I could afford it. I researched it for 4 months and really thought about what I expected out of it. Was I going to all of a sudden become a better person? More popular? whatever?

I think all girls w/ the new boobs go thru the "look at my new boobs!" phase, and then they go back to normal. I love my girls and I'm finally somewhat proportional. My clothes fit and I really am not worried about it if someone starts staring at me. What it did for me was not make me want to stand out more, but rather it made me not feel like I had to hide. BIG difference.

It's very important (to me) to have my breasts. My hubby isn't a breast man either, so he says to do it for me if I want it. I feel my breasts are part of my identity as a woman.

Now I have not [yet] had breast surgery. I need a lift + implants and right now don't feel the scarring is worth it. Once that no longer matters to me I'll have it done.

 

[AlbinoRhino]

I really appreciate the feedback. I obviously cannot understand how important it is to own breasts. I assume if I had a 2" weiner and help was only a surgery away I might consider that a pretty important aspect of my life as well.
This helps me get perspective and understand how my girl feels, because you know how us men are......once we are with you we can no longer hear anything you say....someone else has to tell us.


Anyways thanks for the info, hopefully I will have a succesfull boob transformation story to share with you all......even if it is in third person.

 

[hanselthecaretaker]

I'd just like to throw in that for the most part breast implants suck, even (perhaps especially) for flat chested women. They don't look natural, they don't feel natural, and they don't move naturally. Granted some of it might depend on how well of a job was done, but if they don't come close to passing any of the above criteria, then they were probably too big for the body they were put into or were just a botched job to begin with. A very modest size change is best if you are gung-ho about getting them.

Just food for thought, if any women out there are getting them in hopes of attracting half way decent guys, keep in mind that these silicon/saline bundles are more than likely repelling more.

It may be just a mental thing with me, but there's nothing like a natural pair of breasts.

Last but not least, having a great ass is more important anyway. Boobs are just a cool bonus.

 

[ZKaudio]

as per someone's comment... nice clothing is NOT catered to large chests... if you are getting a b.a. done so your clothes will fit better... do some more thinking please.

 

[jenscats5]

as per someone's comment... nice clothing is NOT catered to large chests... if you are getting a b.a. done so your clothes will fit better... do some more thinking please.

That is true.....plus it's hard to find nice bras in large sizes that don't cost an arm & a leg....

 

[Rocketgrrl]

Hey... I've heard that surgery often makes the breast less sensitive and sometimes gets rid of sensation all together....anyone have this problem? That's the main reason I am wary of getting implants.

[Nilt]

I love my girlfriends natural A cups, they fit her body and if she got fakes, I'd be pissed.

SOME of them may look nice, but looking at tits is only like 16% of the fun in tits. I want to fondle and feel and lick and bite and hug em too, and I don't want to that to an artificial implant.
