Boy, I miss her. Wish she would say hi to us. 

[rjdmech]

Thanks for the post master.Now a few questions:

Its been 4 years since the operation.What are your impression about the overfill .Was it a good idea or is it too firm? Has the firmness decreased through time? Would it have possible to get a 1000cc custom( if possible ) and had it be overfilled to 1200cc. Has gravity started rearing it ugly head?

I have to admit they look smaller than I expected.That could be just me

Its been 4 years since the operation.What are your impression about the overfill .

The first handful of days were harsh. But that was less about the overfill and more about the net fill.

Nowadays it seems fairly natural, so to speak.

Was it a good idea or is it too firm?

Absolutely fine. Not too firm at all.

Has the firmness decreased through time?

Hard to say. I asked her, and we both spent some time with a critical eye. They're perhaps less perky, hang more naturally. She'd be happy to have them pumped up bigger.

Would it have possible to get a 1000cc custom( if possible ) and had it be overfilled to 1200cc.

At the time, the only 1000cc I knew for certain was through another surgeon who was taking part in that trial. I don't know with any certainty whether he could have also gotten the 1000cc saline implants (and I still don't know with 100% certainty whether those were definitely an option at the time, regardless of surgeon).

Has gravity started rearing it ugly head?

I suppose, in a sense. They have a more natural hang to them now.

I have to admit they look smaller than I expected.That could be just me

She used to play a lot of sports. Including rugby. So she's got the frame for it. Plus she's a long way from a waifish 110 lbs.

What pointers can you give? What mistakes did you make and what should I avoid and or buy to make this go smoothy.I still have time so it will be easy to shop around.

I wish mine was going bigger than 1000cc.She may be between 1000 and 1100 not sure .I will leave it up to the Doc to decide.She wants as natural a look as possible.

[MasterDragonfly]

Pointers/mistakes? Hmm.

She needed a lift (this was non-negotiable as far as every surgeon was concerned). I requested a vertical lift. I don't know what I was thinking; in retrospect I should have requested a lollipop lift.

Figure out where she'll **82** for the first few nights. A bed won't cut it. You can try getting the wedge-shaped pillow, but that may not be enough. cherri was most comfy when she was sitting upright on the couch, ankles supported by a chair, pillows stuffed under her elbows, supporting her arms.

I purchased the right bra beforehand. Bear in mind that your surgeon may specify a bra with no underwire (most likely if the suture is in the breast fold).

At 1000cc, the natural look will come with time and gravity. If not 6 weeks post-op, then perhaps 6 months post-op. That said, just specify to the surgeon that she wants the natural look, and leave it at that. If the surgeon seems conflicted regarding the request for 1000cc and the request for the natural look, then you'll have to make a decision. I'd recommend the 1000cc, but it's ultimately her call.

One other thing... is she going under the muscle? If so (and sorry for not remembering this at this particular moment) but does she already have implants under the muscle, or will this be her first surgery?

If it's her first surgery, going larger than 1000cc might not be a good idea.

[rjdmech]

Second surgery and the first was over the muscle.Her first one was about 400cc

[MasterDragonfly]

The surgeon might want to switch her to submuscular, going to 1000cc.

[rjdmech]

Dr Revis said he was going to a internal bra,whatever that is.

He explained it as sewing the muscles to form an internal bra.I have a feeling that is going to hurt for weeks afterwards.

What your stand on lotions to reduce scaring? You find them work or not?

[MasterDragonfly]

I think things like Mederma have validity. Of course, vitamin E oil is pretty decent as well.

That said, do NOT put anything on the sutures prior to a point in time that the surgeon says you can do. Typically this won't be before the scabs have fallen off. Follow the surgeon's aftercare instructions as closely as possible.

As an aside, it might not be a bad idea to spend some time (eg, daily application for a couple weeks prior to surgery, and daily post-op (where not restricted by bandages)) applying something such as Udder Balm to the breasts to help make the skin more compliant and less likely to get stretch marks. BE SURE to stay well clear of any location where the surgeon will be cutting and putting sutures, eg, periareolar (if that's where he's cutting) or inframammary (if that's where he's cutting). You really don't want anything unexpected leeching into the suture.

Got it!...This may really sound like a stupid question.Since the wife is a hair stylist one of her worries is not being able to cut hair without her boobs contacting the guy.If you sat down in a chair, would your wifes boobs touch your head and does she think mobility will be a problem with this profession?

I would prefer she be a little bigger like around Miss Lyn size but I am not sure how big she is.Her profile says 1200 but she looks more like 2000cc.What do you think?

She has cut my hair. I don't recall her boobs hitting my head. Then again, I wasn't leaning back in a wash basin either and having my shoulder thumped by her boobs, either.

To save having me look this person up, I'll say this: your wife isn't going to be getting 2000cc implants with her first surgery. Save the what-if scenarios for after she's got her 1200cc and has been blessed by a surgeon who will take her to 2000cc.

Also: Might it be time for you to start a new thread dedicated to your wife?

[rjdmech]

Mmmm no boob brush so much for the bigger tips...LOL

I will ask her about the thread but if it happened it would not be till March of next year
