The Breast Blog for Boob News on MyFreeImplants for all your boob news

Rocio took just over 3 months to reach her goal of about $3500. The picture at right is a before.

1. When was your surgery?
   23 rd June 2010.
2. How did you bring up MFI with your doctor?
   I told him I was paying by a third party, he asked me if it wasnt an american company and I said “Yes, indeed. It’s myfreeimplants ” and they said oh ok, we worked with them before (I knew it already though, so I wasn’t worried about that).
3. How did your doctor feel about MFI?
   Totally fine!
4. Did you doctor have you do anything pre-surgery to help make things easier?
   Not to take aspirine 2 weeks before surgery!
5. Did you do anything pre-surgery that was recommended on the internet or by other women?
   Yes, I got a big help on justbreastimplants (forum). Everything you don’t know, they have the answer.
6. How big are your implants and what kind are they (saline, silicon, profile, etc)?
   550 cc silicone hp! They look great and feel natural!
7. How were they implanted (over muscle, under, incision type etc)?
   I got over the muscle because I had enough breast to start off, so my surgeon told me it was better to do it this way, it would be less painful!
8. How did you decide how big to go and what type of implants to get?
   I looked at loads of pictures of before and afters on internet, actually, I was pretty obsessed, haha. And I only looked at woman with the same stats as me. I knew the size I wanted was between 500 and 600 and I knew I really wanted 550.
9. How long after surgery were you in pain?
   I only had pain on my ribs, it quite hurt when I was trying to stand up from my bed, but I could do anything I wanted. I felt pressure on my chest the first week, but not really pain that I could not hold. I didn’t take the painkillers since day 3 I think.
10. Did you need someone to help you with normal tasks after surgery? If so, what did they do? No one helped me, I wanted to do everything myself because I knew I would get better soon, and as I thought, it happened.
11. Did your doctor have any post-surgery advice that really seemed to help with your recovery and/or scar reduction?
    He told me to do anything I feel like I can do, and if it hurts, to stop. The scar reduction, he just told me to put some cream, any cream for scars.
12. Did you do anything else post-surgery that really helped with your recovery?
    Just do everything myself and see how it doesn’t hurt much! And if I felt a lot of pressure on my chest, I would sit down and wait a while.
13. How long before you could resume normal activity?
    Not even 5 days haha.
14. What was your biggest surprise post-surgery?
    They didn’t look that fake! Actually they looked natural 2 weeks after.
15. How closely did you follow your doctor’s advice? He told me I can do anything I feel like, so I suppose 100%.
16. What did you do to get your home ready for your recovery? Clean it before I leave haha.
17. Anything you wish you’d done differently?
    Nothing.
18. Were there any activities that were surprisingly difficult or painful?
    Lifting my arms, putting my jeans on or shoes (only the first 3 days) and drying my hair (I could wash it myself, but dry it was hard because I need to lift my arm for a while.
19. Was there anything you did that turned out to be surprisingly helpful?
    What I said before, just do everything myself. I really did not have that much pain.
20. How did your first “public appearance” with your new boobs go? Any advice for others?
    No one realized! But everyone was amazed how beautiful they were but when I put the bikini on, they asked me if I had a boob job and I said yes, then they said they look natural and very nice! (which is true).
21. Did you find any sites with really good advice on any part of the implant process?
    Yes, justbreastimplants the forum is great!
22. Have you had any complications?
    Not at all. But I know during surgery I had a tube on my throat to help me breathing (I dont know if this is normal or not ) and after I could feel it on my throat! Not a nice taste haha.
23. Anything else you’d like to mention?
    The liquids they inject you during surgery and anesthesia messes up your PERIOD! So I got my period 6 weeks after I should.. and it also makes your tummy look fatter the first 2 months (could be longer though) because you retain liquids in your body. So don’t panick if you get your period 3 times in one month, or you dont get in 2 months! Or if you look a bit fat! It’s normal! and if you have any doubt about your surgery, go on justbreastsimplants forum and ask! they are REALLY helpful!

This one is, of course, an after.

This is not medical advice. This is advice from a woman who has had implant surgery. You should also ask your doctor as every person is different and you can’t be sure that your situation is the same as anyone else’s. If you’ve had surgery and would like to answer these questions, drop me a line, I’d love to include you.
