How do implants feel? Surgery Aug 7!!!

I was told I would be a average C but right now I am wearing a 34dd.  I really don/'t look that big.  I wanted to look natural which everyone saids I do.....I was a 36B padded...nothing there except a deflating whoopy cushion. 

I was wondering what some of these people end up being with the more cc's!  Good luck.  Tonight when I get home I will post a picture for you.

I got my implants two months ago and they truly feel like a part of me. I really don't think much about the fact that I have something extra inside of me. I got 475ccs under the muscle. I knew I wanted a full D and that's what I told my surgeon. I let him make the best decision for me and thus far I'm happy with it. I've still got a ways to go as far as the implant dropping and fluffing, but nonetheless I'm content.

I started with DD before surgery, that were super saggy and I had to roll them up into my bra. I ended up with gorgeous perky DDD breasts. I mean I don't want to brag.. but wow everyone says they are just gorgeous and I agree! With my LBL they really do look great, and I get a lot of attention with them.

They are now "confusion boobs" because they look really natural, but also they are so perfect they almost don't seem real. Hence the "confusion boobs" moniker.. people can't figure out if they are real or not. I have a very large frame so I can pull off DDD, and I do still have some excess weight on me where it's proportionate with my body. I will never be petite, but I am trying to lose more so my thighs are smaller.

I do sometimes wear dress styles that I go without a bra in and when I do that, it becomes a little more obvious because women my age don't really have boobs my size that are that perky. If asked if I am "real" I usually fess up to being "lifted" like a face lift for boobs, but do not fess up to the implants.

For the most part I am super happy with them, but there are a few issues to be aware of. I now have to bind my breasts with ace bandages when I run. I mean I have to have some serious support to be able to run with them.

Also it took some time to adjust to being treated like a bimbo or just being objectified. For a time I felt horrible, but now I'm realizing that increased "marketability" only gives me more options, and I'm taking that attention more in stride. I'm starting to see that I have power in how people treat me and how I see myself and the boundaries I set. That goes along with the weight loss too.. hand in hand.

As far as them "feeling real", well in certain positions like laying down flat they feel a little too firm to be real. Sitting up, standing up, on my side, etc. they feel really good. Flat on my back, they feel weird, feel like they are sliding up and feel too firm. Which sucks because that's the position you really want them to feel good in! LOL.

I only notice them when I lay down flat on my back.. then like I said they feel weird, too firm, and as if they are sliding around, and they do slip up in my chest. Or I notice them when I try to run.

I'm still glad I got them done, despite some of the issues.. over all the good outweighs the bad.  The hardest part like I said was the increased attention.. it made me feel very uncomfortable and I really had to adjust to that.  Now I just realize that having attention is not a bad thing, if I know how to handle it, which I've managed to learn a great deal about.

 This video really helped me change my perspective a bit about being objectified, along with some other literature I read on that topic:

Mine are saline - one is 300cc and the other is 325cc.  I ended up a D to DD, which I was before - but it was just skin.

I love my girls.  They stand up by themselves... but.. I will ALWAYS wear a sports bra to bed.  I've found (under the muscle) it tends to feel like it's weight on the muscle or stretching.  I found myself supporting them during sleep with my arm.  Once I decided to wear a sports bra again - WALA - better sleep and it feels much more comfy.

Now - when I get a massage or a chiropractic adjustment, they can feel "weird" - they don't "smush" like regular breasts. 

It will feel different - but you'll learn how to deal with it.

Congrats!

I got 525 cc silicone under the muscle and they look and feel wonderful. No lift.  When I was trying to figure out the size I wanted, I always put on a tank top to see how they looked.  My surgeon said this size fit my body.  I am 5'9. I had felt a friend of mine saline implants and they didnt feel natural at all (IMO).  It takes a little time to get used to especially waiting for them to drop into place.

Congrats!

 I had 480cc salines under the muscle combined with a lift. I went from a saggy 36B/C to 34DDD (I've lost about 10lb since pre-op also). 

If you have your implants placed under the muscle, the recovery will be really uncomfortable for a few days. I couldn't do anything that used my pecs, like lift things, or button my pants (yes, I was too weak to button my pants! Had to wear sweat pants). The acute discomfort lasted for 3 days for me, then gradually got better. I was on arm restriction for a month. If you overuse your arms too soon, you risk causing bleeding, hematomas, or shifting the implant (all of which happened to me, I required a revision). 

I have salines, and while I am comfortable with the decision I made and the reasons I had, if I were to go back in time and do it over again, I'd probably choose silicone. If you have enough existing breast tissue to cover the implant adequately, saline is fine. But if your tissue is very thin, it will feel much more natural if you get silicone. I have some rippling on the sides, which isn't as severe with silicone. 

That said, I have never had anyone complain about the feel of my breasts. My lovers have been clueless up until the point where I say something. They aren't scrutinizing the feel, texture, symmetry, etc. They're just happy to have a set of breasts in front of them. I'm not self-conscious about it, and I love love love my breasts. When I get them redone (which I know I will have to do at some point, because implants are not lifetime devices, and I'm only 28) I will have them replaced with silicone. I'm fine with what I've got right now though. 

Sleeping in a bra is a good idea, I'll echo that sentiment. I also don't do targeted pec exercises anymore (like pushups). That's the one time when I can feel the implant as something seperate from my body, the muscle 'grips' the implant and it feels weird. I also don't want to risk having the muscle pull the implant out of place. Otherwise, my breasts feel like they're part of me. I am not aware of any sensation of having a foreign object in there. 

If you wanna feel some implants, have a guy friend (or a gutsy gal friend) take you to a strip club. I'm not kidding. I went to 2 strip clubs to do 'research', and the strippers were extremely friendly and more than willing to talk to me about their implants and let me feel them (I tipped them all, of course). The silicone ones felt more lifelike than the salines, in every case. I still went with saline because I was worried about safety and leaks. And the PS who I chose didn't offer silicone. But if you just politely say "I'm not interested in a dance but I'm considering getting breast implants and I was wondering if you could share your experience with me" they will be very forthcoming. Of course, I only approached girls who I was absolutely certain had implants. It wasn't hard to tell, they're very very slender and have big bosoms.
