Amazing experience, do wish I had gone bigger as they are getting smaller and I do miss the fuller look. Hopefully the won't get too much smaller as they are right where I like them but have to remind myself that I wasn't going for an obvious look just a fuller look after having three kids (now 23, 21, and 19) and getting ready to turn 45 in February.

 

Great review?

My Doctor: Dr Michael Manual

My rating:

Best in Anchorage!!! After talking with many patients and seeing photos, and speaking with other doctors he was the highest recommended! Couldn't have asked for a better doctor or office staff - AMAZING!!

Nice results. I like the 15's, but my ps suggest the 20's. I'm hoping that he can somewhat minick the 15 look. My chest wall is too narrow to hold the 15's.

They look amazing and natural. Perfect size.

Thank you. I will update photos shortly, I have week six already taken and will take week seven shortly (have been at the hospital with hubby and a badly ruptured appendicitis - so as soon as I have time). I will post some pictures taken from a short distance from me so you can see what they look like from that point of view as well, very natural and full. I seriously am LOVING my size now, they are looking so so sexy and just the absolute right size for my body frame. I am at a full C in Victoria's Secret bras right now and I am going to go get professionally measured at Nordstrom's soon. Really am thrilled that I did go the size down now, I couln't have asked for better results - LOVE the way they look.

When did everyone with under breast incisions star wearing regular bras? I am still wearing he dr's office bra and the genie bra but want to get back in to sexy bras.

I tried on a bunch of "regular" bras yesterday at Kohls and found that sadly my boobs looked better in my foam sports bras lol. Maybe in a few weeks when I hit my true size I will get a little more excited to shop for real ha ha

I know the feeling. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago and was looking for the natural look because I did not wish for my children 19 and 22 to be embarrased by this. I know the fullness is going to go down and I too wish i had gone one size larger. Oh well its still so much better than before. Age 50
Ralaska 13 Jan 2013
Yes busygirl53 - that is apparently how most women feel afterward. I do have to say though I am still loving my size at 5 weeks, they aren't getting much smaller so I think in the end it will be the fuller natural look I originally wanted - I just got boobie greedy with the swelling :-) Congratulations on your surgery, I hope your healing is going well!

I wish I went bigger too lol .. I am about 2 1/2 weeks post op and when I was in my doc's office the other day I asked him if he thought I would stay at this size. He said I would probably still do down a little. Ralaska I am totally in boobie greed mode and want them to stay this big! Busygirl - I have an almost 18 year old daughter .. I wasn't sure how it would be telling her I was getting a BA, (she herself is always wearing super padded bras) and she took it in stride. Even though I'm between a D and a DD I can easily disguise them and not look so 'obvious'. Have a boobalicious day everyone! xoxo

Welcome to my world Ralaska and Nomoreboobenvy. That was me last week and still recovering from it. I was really feeling but earlier this week. My bf says they are big and perfect. Compared to what I did have they are great. I think we have the same type Rakaska Natrelle moderate style 15 which is a fuller breast that doesn't project out as much as the mod plus or HP. You gotta dress them up. We've been examining them naked and yes we loved the look when they were swollen. But over all once I put clothes on I think they look sexy and perfect for my shape. Will pay most photos soon. Enjoy your babies ladies!!!
NoMoreBoobEnvy (RealFriend) 13 Jan 2013
That is what I got! Style 15 .. Natrelles! ;)
GoBigTallGirl 13 Jan 2013
Looks like all three of us have the same thing. We all look amazing. I have the biggest ccs between us (616) but I am 6'0 1/2 in tall. Just have to dress them up and you will be fine.
softgirl 13 Jan 2013
Yup on the natrelles 15. I'm petite so i got 397s and very happy so far. Hubs said he doesn't like em. He wants my old saggy tuberous lumps back... party pooper. Strange because the 1st week he seemed happy and now he's turning away from me.
NoMoreBoobEnvy (RealFriend) 13 Jan 2013
Softgirl that is so strange!!!! Most hubby's are super excited! Hang in there! He will get used to them and as long as you are happy then that is what is matters! :)
Ralaska 13 Jan 2013
Softgirl, if you are happy with them he will come around. My hubby loves them but is very concerned about hurting me. So possibly that may be part of the problem or some people don't like change. Either way he will get used to them and especially if it makes you feel sexier I am sure he will reap the benefits.
Ralaska 13 Jan 2013
Yep agreed we all look AMAZING and feel great too. The boobie greed has gone away for me and am very happy with what I have or end up with. It is really better than what I was looking for - just a fuller look.
LuvMyBoyfriend 6 Jan 2013
You look GREAT!! Happy early birthday to you! You do NOT look 45!!!!
Ralaska 6 Jan 2013
Thanks so much! I am enjoying my new "girls" (so is the hubs ;-) ) and hope to continue enjoying life!!!
LeahMerril 6 Jan 2013
whoa yur 45???? You have the body that most 20 yearold would kill to have wow, sorry had to mentionit.
Ralaska 6 Jan 2013
LOL - Thank you!
LeahMerril 6 Jan 2013
Wow I must say this has to be the best looking AFTER pic onthis boob section I have seen lucky you!
Ralaska 6 Jan 2013
Wow - thank you! I am super pleased with the results so far and am hoping that they will turn out exactly what I was looking for. My doc is/was amazing and lived up to his reputation of being the best in town! :-)
RavensGal 6 Jan 2013
You look fabulous!
Ralaska 6 Jan 2013
Thanks so much - feeling fab as well - which is a huge plus. The whole experience was so much easier than I thought it would be.
NoMoreBoobEnvy (RealFriend) 6 Jan 2013
You go girl! I just had my surgery on Dec. 26th and HOPE that they stay this big - went with 457 ccs. I was originally going to go with 425's. Now I am secretly wishing I went with 475's or maybe even 500's! ;)
