So haven't been on here to update but all has been well no complications or capsular contraction I can say this has been one of the best things I've ever done for myself so glad I did it if there's one thing I wish is that they were a little bigger but so glad with what I have I'm filmgoer to try to update pics if my phone will let me to anyone out there thinking about doing it do your research interview at least 4.docs and then go for it your confidence will go for whatever to 100 :)

DaleAnn82 11 Jun 2011
Wow, you're right. We do look similar in our befores. Very similar. What are you wearing currently? My before size was 34C. But I'm thinking I might have actually needed a B. I had 375 smooth mod plus saline which is looking like I'll be a 34D now. 4 more weeks and I get to go buy a new bra. 4 more days for you. I know you're totally excited. I could barely contain myself the week of my surgery. Can't wait to hear how your doing. You don't need a lift, right?
maria from albuquerque 11 Jun 2011
wel in some bras im a 34 b n some a c bt mostly b..n as far as a lift i no i will defently need one down the road n could have gotton one now but i want to c how it looks first without cuz of course the less scars the better..but i mit get the cresent lift if im not totaly satisfied with the outcome of jus inplants bt hopefully i wont have to do that for a few years..wel i defntly keep updating n keep you posted... :)
It's been long Enough (RealFriend) 12 Jun 2011
I am 36 c... of course its mostly the lack of perky and the sagging that bugs me. The loss of volume. My friend gotthe cresent lift and was thrilled. Glad she did! I need to look into that a bit more so I understand it. I am thrilled... I may have to wait longer than I wanted just because of the timming of things. BUT IF I get to do it when I want it will be Just after the new year. So Jan 2012.....
maria from albuquerque 12 Jun 2011
well sweetie good luck with everything..n i will keep updating with my progress!
UNVME73541 14 Jun 2011

I agree give it some time and just watch them daily I am sure they will come out right and look exactly the way you want them to.

Your being on here and being honest about things is really helping my nervousness I have an appointment for consult very soon.
maria from albuquerque 21 Jun 2011

Kate H. (Community Manager) 24 Jun 2011

Wow you look great!  You got the same size as a good friend of mine and hers took quite a while to drop.  The larger they are, the longer it takes for them to settle in it seems.  Thanks so much for all of your posts!

yours look like they're healing nicely fast. how's your incision looking after a week? I got freaked out and started crying when I took out the surgical tapes around my left nipple cuz it was making me itch and saw how raw and unsightly looking my incision is.
maria from albuquerque 26 Jun 2011
well jus like alota post i read the left boob is droping n rounding out nicley but the right(my dominite side since im right handed)side is higher n harder n to me its realy noticable to me...but im jus hoping n praying it heals n drops n im not geting caps. contract. im gona talk 2 my ps nex apt.i havent seen my incition yet as they stil have the tape on them bt i can feel them throgh the tape n they feel big...i think i get the tape off next apt this wend n i wil also start the massages wend also my boobs stil feel a lil sore bt no pain thank goodness..well il update with pics here soon of incition n boobs
MiizzSweetz25 28 Jun 2011
They look like their settling in comparing from your first couple pictures...they are coming out nicely! My surgery is in 2 more days...i'm anxious & nervous girl. I'm still debating size. Your post has helped me on what to expect & to be patient...Thanks for the heads up!
maria from albuquerque 28 Jun 2011
ya n there feelin a lil better also the left better than the right but sure the rite will follow hopefully soon..a word of advise wen u decide on a size consider going up 50ccs cuz once inside ur body they look a little smaller than the sizers u try on..im sure ur gona love the way u look after u get them done n best of luck sweetie...
RABBIT77 28 Jun 2011
They look great!!!!!
maria from albuquerque 28 Jun 2011
