I had mine done over several months went to 850 cc. The first few didn't hurt at all the last couple made my muscles hurt but only lasted about 24 hours. I took tylenol before the last few to help with arm and back pain. I am very happy with the size I am now and was so worth it. I went to 38d was 38c originally. Figured if had to go through all thru all this should get the size I wanted.

The fills are not painful, just a little pressure if anything. My expanders were slowly filled over a 2 month period, until we got to a C cup....( I went from a D to a C) once they were filled, I had the implants placed about 4 weeks later. I am very happy with my results. Big hugs

You'll be fine. Just relax.
You'll feel a little pressure when the Dr inject
some saline into your expander. He'll ask you if you're feeling okay.
I had to go in twice to get my expander filled for the size I wanted.
I wieght 122 and my kids advice me not to get it too big otherwise i would look awkward.. I am currently 34 D.
And am very happy with it..
Hope this helps.
Hugs.

Sometimes I felt pressure for a day but other than that it was fine. I had six or seven fillings a couple of weeks apart. Had my expanders in for a while during 6 months of Chemo. At first, i was so comfortable with them the implants felt odd. Everyone thought I should prefer the implants over the expanders. It’s been since early May and now I have gotten used to the implants.
