implants in march...best advice please?

[Sassy69]

Same here! I got mine done in Jan & started training for a BB show in April. First my chest was still really stiff & I got some sporadic muscle twitching when the weights got heavy, but eventually you get back to normal again.

I actually still sleep in a sports bra. Just more comfortable.

Here's something interesting .... I was always a stomach sleeper and w/ the new boobs I couldn't sleep comfortably flat on my stomach. So I started clenching my arms across my chest so I could sleep on my stomach but not have the girls squished flat. Be careful w/ this because it puts a big arch in your back & may be a partial contributor to my lower back problems now. I had to switch to sleeping on my side.

I'd like to get implants, but I need a lift too & me & hubby agree that the Anchor scar is NOT worth it currently. My PS also agrees......

I never realized that some of you ladies had implants. They all look VERY good
Whenever I've seen someone with them before they were always VERY large & noticably fake.
I was always worried about them sagging when I hit 50 - 60...... Do you just get them taken out?
All of your looks VERY nicely done

i had to go over the muscle.
sometimes you can have complications if you are particularly muscular or strong.
I got anatomically correct ones- they look real- you can see in my gallery.

They really are fantabulous.























can I say that...

They say the avg lifespan of an implant is 10-15 yrs but there isn't alot of data to really say what it is -- they are relatively recent and the methods & materials are always improving.

As far as taking them out -- I don't plan to -- The stretching my body & pecs have had to do to accommodate them just woudln't be all that pretty. Just replace as needed. I hopefully won't be replacing any time soon, but you have to at least expect it at some point. I don't know about saggage. I've heard if you have implants and then have kids you will probably want to go in for a lift or a redo.

I almost died -- my new OB-GYN (lady) even complimented me on them. Kinda strange. But good I guess.

I am getting my implants in march and have done more than my fair share of homework on it but would love to hear your best bits of advice for before and after...sometimes the little things are the ones people forget to tell you but help sooooo much!

Thanks in advance

Take high dosages of vitamin c about 2 weeks prior to surgery to prep your immune system. Check out www.breastimplants4you.com - has a world of resources and a discussion board to chat and ask questions. Don't buy a lot of new bras until your implants drop and swelling stops - your comfort level in each bra will change as your body changes. Get a really good supportive sports bra - cardio will never be the same bouncing around with big boobs - check out www.enell.com --- the best sports bra ever - your breast wont bounce or move a bit when running or on the elliptical, which i can tell you isn't the most comfortable thing when the do bounce. Buy frozen peas - the conform to your body in the bags and work great and icepacks right after surgery to reduce swelling.

Any other questions, pm me.

You all are the BEST!!!!

I have been thinking about this for so long and am finally doing it!! I am 5'2" 113lb with a small Acup. I am going to go to a C. I don't want to go too big but don't want to wish I went bigger as soooo many people have warned me about. I was thinking about doing a 390 with a 400/410cc fill. I will obviously be taking the advice my doctor gives but I have been told some doctors will not push you to go big so you will want a re-do! Bad doctors if you ask me!! I know three people who went and got them bigger and one who just got them done and is mad she didn't go big enough! I would love any advice on size!!

I am soooo excited about my surgery and I just today had a friend give me her horible opinion on how she does not agree with it and it is a shallow decision!! Obviously she is not a friend that knows me very well, plus she is not into the gym lifestyle I am!! I am so upset with her! I love my body and this is not something I am doing to boost my confidence or get more attention! But I don't have to go through all that with you all, kinda why I like it here I don't get looked at funny for my lifestyle! Every single one of my gym friends understands, even my family does but this one person just has to be so stupid about it. Oh well no worries! Also I am from the northeast usa and it is not a huge thing up here like it is in the west or south. I have never been one to care what others think anyways!

I am extremely excited about my decision and yes I will be the cute little jacked girl with great boobs!!

Thanks everyone I appreciate it soooo much

I hope you have a good man or woman to massage your new boobies when you get them. I heard having them manually set hurts like hell.

What does that mean? I asked my doc about the whole massage thing and he didn't say anything about it -- he didn't bring it durign the consult about the whole recovery process & I'd heard so much about how important it was -- never needed anything like that.


Although a good boobage massage by a good man is a good thing..... but that's post-op...
