Daisee68 2,493 Posted June 9, 2016 Can I ask how tall you are? And if this is not too rude, did you get implants and what size? I am 5'10". I just hit 1 year post-op RNY and goal at 173. I am planning plastics for this fall but concerned the 450cc silicone breast implants Dr recommended are too large. Given your weight, it seemed we might be similar and your figure is AMAZING!

ausmith 374 Posted June 10, 2016 What issues do I need to be aware of if I over do things. Definitely not planning to but always good to know what can happen. I'm having 2 surgery's 3 weeks apart. Still not confirmed which will be first Body Lift or the breast red / lift and the Arm lift. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I have a seroma that requires draining. You can cause more scarring. Pull a stitch. Get an infection. Wear your compression garment all the time unless showering. I recommend going to walgreens or Walmart and getting a big bottle of hibiclens. It's about $20. Wash your body for a few days before surgery and for weeks afterward. Keeps your risk of infection low. Supplement your intake with Protein powder. I added unflavored to my broth, Soups and yogurt. Increasing your Protein facilitates healing. I also took arnica Montana for swelling. Take your pain meds. That's great advice thank you Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my HTC One M9 using the BariatricPal App I am 6' and I weigh 195. My implants are 750cc each. I had a lot of skin, so the large volume was needed. I did not need a lift, only augmentation. And they are perky. But it's up to you and what your post op breast size goal is. I ended up a full D. Which is proportionate for me. And all the women in my family have larger breasts. So now I blend in with my family better. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
