MelbGal got a reaction from sabP in Same size clothes after BA?
I fit into all the same clothes I already had, they just looked better! The main reason I got some new clothes is because I looked better in clothes and dresses I couldn’t really wear before, but the size was exactly the same

MelbGal got a reaction from I HaveBoobs in 12.5 BWD, 169cm, 64kg, deflated b cup. Can anyone with similar stats please share before and after photos and implants :)
I am 165cm tall and was 62kgs when I had my surgery, my bwd from memory was about 12cm. Difference is I was a very deflated A. I had 390cc put in and am now a D in bras but I think they look like a nice full C in reality

MelbGal got a reaction from I HaveBoobs in Why did you decide to get plastic surgery?
I always had small breasts, and whilst I always wished I had bigger ones I never planned to get implants. After me second child, they were even smaller as they completely deflated and I had just loose skin. I felt mutilated and hated them. I did it for my own self confidence...I’m not a showy person and I don’t parade them, I’ve kept it very private because I didn’t want people to think negatively about me (3yrs ago)
I had my ears pinned back at 20yrs old (15 years ago). I was teased about my ears since primary school, through high school, but I never confided in my parents about it so surgery was never discussed. I waited til I was able to pay for it myself and did it! Life changing! Very emotional time for me.
With my rhino (done last week), I disliked my nose, I didn’t hate it though. I never thought I’d get a rhino, but with the extensive surgery I had to plan for my sinuses, the rhino was then an option to combine. I’m happy I did it, but if it weren’t for the sinus surgery I’m not sure I would ever have gone through with it

They look great! They will drop and fluff so beautifully I can tell

Oh I think they’re going to look amazing, I can tell already. I can already tell how they’re going to drop nicely because they don’t seem too much stuck up high, keep us updated!
The fluid will settle soon, I was similar to you, very weighted down by fluid in my whole body. Try keep moving around and it’ll start to settle. Yay for you!

MelbGal got a reaction from Zoey23 in Scared for my surgery!!
Don’t even listen to those experiences, they are rare. To be honest whether you could be out for dinner that night your body shouldn’t be! It needs to rest. I was a big weight junkie st the gym prior to my surgery which also meant very tight chest muscles, and initially I could really feel the struggle he just have had to get the implants in, but to be honest after a few days everything really started to relax, and yours will too. Don’t push yourself just pace yourself and rest and allow your body to heal. Overdoing it could jeopardize your healing

MelbGal got a reaction from Zoey23 in Moms with littles post BA
My children were very similar in ages to yours, my youngest was actually 15 months. I found the best way to carry him or lift him in and out of his cot was to almost hug and lift! So not using my hands to grasp him but literally putting my arms all around him and almost lifting with my whole torso. What this did was take my pecs out of the equation and my back was doing the lifting. It was manageable that’s for sure. Sometimes if he was in his cot And wanted to get out I would get him to wrap his arms around my neck, I would wrap my arms around his back, and lift, and I would feel a thing on my chest for that little while. Other option is lots of fun piggy backs ?
My daughter who also notices everything, didn’t notice a thing! When I showered I just told her I had cut myself that’s why I had bandages under my boobs, she never even noticed. The first few days when I was very stiff and moving awkwardly I just told her I hurt my neck and back which is common for me anyway ?
good luck all th best!

MelbGal got a reaction from JD* in CC size question
Don’t be too focused on the cc number...I focused closely at the actual dimensions of the implants too ie width and projection etc because I have a larger bwd and therefore the bigger implant meant wider, but to be honest I can’t imagine having gone smaller. I just had loose skin, virtually no breast tissue st all. If I was say a full A, I would have gone down to the 320s. I felt I’d be more disappointed if I finally did the surgery and went too small. Good luck so exciting! Best thing I ever did

MelbGal got a reaction from pink butterfly in CC size question
The cc is just one aspect of what makes boobs look big or small. Mine are 390cc but I literally had pancakes to start with sommy implants are literally my whole boob, and I am a D in bras but realistically look like a C in my opinion. I’m a size 8 in tops and still look smallish I think. But of course if I started as a B for example then I’d think the 390s would look massive, and if someone was much taller than me and broader then perhaps the 390 would be too small. So lots of factors to consider

MelbGal got a reaction from I HaveBoobs in 3D IMAGING RESULTS
I didn’t have imaging at all, but went through extensive photos with my surgeon about hat look I was going for so we clearly understood each other. I never really felt the need for vectors to be honest.

Thank you for sharing - im so glad your happy with your results.

MelbGal got a reaction from Moderator in My rhinoplasty experience- Mr Stephen Kleid
Hi all,
History- needed some major sinus surgery and the main part was a badly deviated septum with a bone spur completely blocking my sinus....and decided I would combine it with some rhino work since I needed quite a surgery anyway! My nose wasn’t the worst in the world and I wasn’t desperate to have it fixed, but knew one day I may have done it, so why not do it all at once!
The sinus surgery was my priority so I searched for an ENT who also did facial plastic surgery and rhinoplasties.
I researched extensively, and with the help of this forum and with recommendations on here and elsewhere I went with Mr Stephen Kleid at Masada. And I couldn’t be happier! Mr Kleid and ENT and facial plastic surgeon.
From the thorough 1hr initial consult, to all the information provided by his staff (because I asked 1000 questions ?)...to the very detailed imaging process, to the wonderful care at Masada, it all went so well. I was extremely anxious about the whole surgery, mainly because there was so much involved and it’s my face!...but Mr Kleid is very professional, confident, and matter of fact, which is actually was eases my mind because it shows he just knows what he’s doing. He spent alot of time explaining not only what work I needed done, but the process of it all as well. Absolutely no pressure whatsoever from his or his staff to book surgery either.
Surgery was 3hours...I had a nose splint and bandages on for 1 week, a whole lot of s**t coming out of my mouth, and a whole lot of bruising and swelling (I’m a bit bruiser!). After 1 week I had the splint and bandages removed, and my scabs/clots/blood sucked out and OMG I can’t believe the results! Firstly I’ve never breathed so well in my life! I never realized how bad my breathing was until now. And my nose is just amazing! Exactly like the photos although still very swollen mostly at the tip.
When I saw the imagin photos, I asked, surely this isn’t achievable, this must just be what would be ideal. But no! I was assured that no imaging reaches Mr Kleid that isn’t an achievable result. But until I saw it, I honestly didn’t believe it would be possible. I actually said to Mr Kleid ‘Ph my gosh how did you do that??!?!’.
I’ll check in in a few weeks and report more progress, but for now, even with the swelling and bruising, I’m so happy. It has all exceeded my expectations

MelbGal got a reaction from sabP in Worried about size - 3 weeks until BA
I am 58kgs and 165cms...I was smaller than you pre surgery...I was very deflated and only an A but barely. I actually had 390cc under the muscle which is mainly due to my breast width being a bit wide. But having said that, I personally couldn’t imagine having gone smaller than that. I’m texhnically a D but really implants sit differently in bras so I think I look more like a C. I’m thinking if you are a B now, then I think anything from 280/330 might be about right if you want to achieve a D. It’s hard to say really because there are so many factors to what would suit you best, but I think it sound like a good size. I obsessed over size for weeks! Every day! I made rice sizers and would go back and forth every day! But I always said I’d be more disappointed in going too small than going too big so I chose the 390s over 350s which were my two choices

MelbGal got a reaction from I HaveBoobs in When did yours soften up?
To be honest mine softened so nicely within a couple of months, they settled and dropped really quickly and I think it’s because they didn’t start up under my neck lol! But I know it’s normal to take months even 6/9 months to do so maybe longer depending on many factors such as size, what you were before, how tight your muscles are etc

MelbGal got a reaction from kittykat74 in Before D&F and after D&F pics please
So my pics below are
6 days
2 weeks
4 weeks
9 weeks
mine dropped reasonably quickly and softened really well: I'm not too familiar with the meaning of the fluff process and what more I would expect of mine but in happy with them as they are. I had very tight pecs because of the work I do and very little breast tissue but surprisingly they dropped really well

MelbGal reacted to Elle Anderson in Rhinoplasty in Australia or overseas; recovery info too
Around 2 weeks seems to be the time to get 'out and about', after swelling and bruising has diminished: https://www.8west.ca/rhinoplasty/how-much-time-should-i-take-off-work-for-rhinoplasty/
Not to discourage you from going overseas but I do agree with the others about follow-up. That is one of the main reasons why I chose to have my surgery locally. Unfortunately, not having your surgeon close by in case of a later complication is the trade-off of having your surgery performed overseas.

MelbGal reacted to cosmetic in Rhinoplasty in Australia or overseas; recovery info too
Any post complication that may arise you would want to be close as possible to you’re surgeon so they can manage it. The nose is so delicate
