what does CMH mean?

Sorry I know I have seen this somewhere before but I just can't remember and can't find it on the search. On the back of my warranty card it has got my implants stickers and they say CMH-410 xx

they are cohesive gel i think?

cohesive microcell high ?

Well I'm an idiot I thought it was something to do with the profile xx

The Allergan round CUI's come in MHP and MLP
The M stands for microcell which means it is describing the textured implant
HP is high profile
LP is low profile
these are silicone gel filled

They also have CMM (cohesive moderate microcell) which is anatomical (teardrop) these are moderate height moderate projection
CFM = anatomical full height moderate projection
but C is cohesive M is microcell and Moderate F= full
They have smooth round implants which are:
SLD smooth low profile
SHD smooth high profile
They have round textured cohesive gel implants
CMH cohesive microcell high and CML (low)

The allergan CUI range is a budget range and the implant is guaranteed for 10 years
The MHP and MLP are silicone gel, which means they are a soft solid, they are not the cohesive (gummi bear) gel which when cut in half stay the same shape. So the silicone gel filled are softer more natural feel.
Both gel's are good.
There are plus and minus points to every gel, implant, placements etc



well the H will be? that will be the high profile i think

GREAT answer dawnmids :thumbs: thank you babe xx

Hiya Dawn,

Which ones are the gummi bear implants in the UK?

xxx

The cohesive or gummi bear type are the allergan naturelle soft touch gel implants and the nagor impleo implants. I believe the CMH are also gummi bear style as these are more cohesive than the MHP although I'm not 100% on that.

Yup, I agree with misf1 I also think that the CHM are gummy-bear style implants They're made with a cohesive gel and when cut it will be a clean cut through.

Cohesive =Gummy bear

The CHM = CUI MicroCellTM Textured Cohesive Gel-Filled Breast Implant, DRIETM Round, HighProfile. xx

You can take a look in the CUI catalogue HERE xx

I've been naughty today I'm scared to even tell yous coz I know what your gonna say but I feel like I should tell you so here goes, so far 2day I have got my daughter down from her highchair twice, got her out of her cot and brought her downstairs at nap time and I washed my own hair, the only thing that actually made me think I shouldn't have done that was carrying her downstairs coz my stitches have felt abit sore since but I hadn't had any pain there before I know I shouldn't of done it but she was crying and no1 was there to help me, do u think I'm ok? Xx

I think you'll be ok hun, but you may pay for it later or tomorrow, If it's really painful try ice packs and painkillers. Hopefully you'll be fine though.

I think you should be a lot more careful babe, with you experiencing soreness from your stitches you're obviously putting a lot of pressure on that area babe and you really would have been told no lifting and this is the reason why

You should be OK, but if the pain gets worse or you find a 'heavy bleed' then you should call your clinic for advice hun.

At just 2 days post-op you should have someone with you to take of of daughter for you or have a relative friend look after her for a while. Doing this on your own is going to hard lovely and I'll be honest with you, I've known a lady from here, but can't remember her name sorry ending up back in hospital from lifting her baby, so if it's at all possible hun, you really should get help in at least for the first 2 weeks post-op, to enable your wounds to heal, if you keep putting pressure on them by lifting you just keep setting your recovery back.

Sorry if that's not what you wanted to hear babe, but I think it's what you needed to hear, you've just had major surgery Twinkle and you NEED help babe. xx

I'm supposed to have help but it all went wrong somewhere my daughter decided she didn't want to stay at my mums last night and wouldn't stop crying till she came home and my boyfriend wasn't expecting to have her to today so he had 2 nip out a few times and I hate seeing her upset so I didn't wait 4 him, I'm keeping an eye on them coz I have noticed abit of colour coming through where my stitches are but that was there before I carried her xx

I think you're going to have to have a chat with your boyfriend babe, let him read this thread if it helps, but he needs to be there 'for the baby' You're fine, you can basically see to yourself if everything is at hand, but you can't lift the baby! this is for your own health and the baby's saftey! You both have to think Twinkle, what is your stitches did burst and you were to drop the baby? she and you could both be seriously hurt! This is how important it is to get that help for the baby lovely.

I know it's hard hearing your little one cry, but for her saftey, she;s better off crying for a little while than possibly being hurt isn't she xx

Thanks for your honesty, I knew I should tell yas even if you do tell me off, I promise I won't do it again for at least 2 weeks? Just so glad I've got nice clean hair now though do you think I'm ok to wash my hair myself as much as I need without risking hurting myself if I feel ok 2 do it? I think I have been lucky and carrying her hasn't done too much damage because they feel ok now I will still keep an eye on them though xx

The less stress you put on your upper body the better babe, but if you feel comfortable washing your own hair, you should be fine. Just take it easy though.

Surgeons advise no lifting for 6 weeks after surgery, but when you have little ones like yourself it's virtually impossible not to lift your baby for all that time, but most women seem to be able to cope after about 2 weeks, the wound has begun to knit by then and although you still need to take great care lifting, as long as you're sensible you should be fine after that. xxx

I will try my best not to do too much its so hard though! I hate having to follow him around saying do this, do that, help me with this, help me with that. I feel like I'm losing my independence and having a hard time letting go xx

We can only advise you Twinkle, the rest has got to be from you lovely, I doubt many of us enjoyed doing nothing early recovery, but we all have to in order to gain the best results possible for a surgery we elected to have.

We all know it's hard lovely, but we advise because we 'care' and not because we're here to 'tell you off' and there are some of us who know it's a heck of a lot more difficult dealing with a complication post-op, than it is dealing with letting go of your independence hun and it's because we know that we try so hard to help you avoid that if you can. xx

I know cookie I really appreciate it glad I've got someone 2 snap me out of being an idiot. Just a quick question any idea how long this bloated tummy lasts I've been looking at lots of questions on here about it but can't actually find people saying when there's went back to normal I have been to the toilet today and have only had 4 of the codeine/co-codamol whatever they are the last time was yesterday afternoon if any of that helps with a general estimate of how long I'm looking at. I just thought you might have an idea with the amount of women you must have heard moaning about it aswel as probably going through it yourself xx

Mine lasted about 10 days babe, it may differ for others, give or take a couple of days, it does settle though and not something I'd be concerned about hun. xx

Ok thank you xx

im finding it hard not being able to pick up my son Hudson, I am in no pain but i know i should avoid it, other half back to work sunday so i will have to start doing things for him then, but he is 17 months so he can walk everywhere himself so shouldnt be too hard but so frustrating as wana pick him up with those little eyes looking at me :) booo :D really pleased so far with my healing, boobs are soft still i thought they may of gone hard?

Its so hard isn't it its breaking my heart I thought I would be glad of the break lol, she keeps getting on the couch and running across it ramming me with pillows which is really hard because I just can't get her off it, she can't get upstairs but not down so I need help with that and she is still in a cot not a toddler bed so I need help putting her in there and the bath too oh and highchair I can get her down from highchair as she just has to hold my hand to climb down so doesn't put much pressure on me she's constantly grabbig at me wanting to be picked up though. Mine feel like I'm wearing a gel bra I didn't actually expect them to feel like that will they always feel like that or will they change xx
