One year update

Summary:
Pre: 240CC over-muscle round silicon (sorry, said 280 in my last and can't edit)
Post: 300CC under-muscle anatomical highly cohesive silicon (ie teardrop gummy bears).

Still very happy with the improvements. They aren't perfect, nor are they symmetrical, but I didn't expect either. I wanted them to NOT be saggy, NOT as asymmetrical, and I didn't want to go bigger. All of those goals were achieved with bells on.

They are a pretty solid C cup, perky, and much more even. I'm really pleased with them.

6 month update

Summary:
Pre: 280CC over-muscle round silicon
Post: 300CC under-muscle anatomical highly cohesive silicon (ie teardrop gummy bears).

Sitting pretty solidly at a 34C (which is pretty much the same bra size as before, it's just that my breasts sit in the cup now vs being lifted up into the cup).

I'm still really happy with them. It's SUCH an improvement (and looking at some of my before pictures, I'm really surprised that I was never really bothered by how they looked before, but somehow I wasn't).

If I had had all of the information going in (I didn't know how big my previous implants were and I swore that they were under-muscle, so my surgeon essentially went in blind), I'd probably have chosen to go a little bigger, not because 'big boobs!' but because the skin is a little lax and it would have lifted them a smidgen more.

They are softer than a couple of months ago and I can now create some cleavage with them. They are not as soft as my previous implants and the right (the droopy one) is still softer than the left: I assume because there was more tissue there. The trouble with doing the surgery on the quiet is that I can't ask someone to feel my breasts and tell me what they think :P. I suspect they feel perfectly normal, but I'm not sure.

The scars are fading very slowly. I'm still putting silicon tape on them because it's no trouble and I do know that it's supposed to fade older scars, so I figure it can't hurt to use it until the scars are pale.

Update on things I mentioned about my left breast from my previous review notes:

* The muscle now feels pretty close to normal when I flex
* The indent on the outside towards the underarm is still there: it might be a little less, but it's hard to tell. I haven't done a skype call with my surgeon to see if there's an easy fix
* The (invisible) pea sized lump has softened some, but is still there
* The gurgling feeling is pretty much gone

All in all: I'm very happy.

4 month update

I'm still really happy with them: they look so very much better than before.

I'm loving the shape and size which is pretty much my wish, even though they are somewhat asymmetrical.

They are healing well though they still don’t feel ‘normal’ to me. I am trying to be patient. The scars are still red and a little wider than I would have hoped for given I taped them for 3 months, but I think they look well within the range of normal for the timeframe.

With regard to softness, they still feel quite firm to me and the right feels softer than the left. They feel like a firm core with varying amounts of soft tissue over them. I did expect something like that with the highly cohesive implants, but there is not a lot of movement in them either (that is, they can't be pushed together fully, nor can they be pushed up much, nor do they jiggle much). I included a little video that I thought would show how *not* soft they were, but strangely they look really quite squishy in it, however you CAN see that when I try to push them together, they hardly move.

My breasts are uneven, which I knew from the start, but the implants feel very different on each side. I assume this is to do with muscle strength (or perhaps this is normal when the starting point was so asymmetrical).

Particular 'things' with the left breast (none of them a big deal, but noting them anyway):

* In particular, the muscle on the left side feels strange against the implant in a way that the other side doesn’t. There is no pain, but when I do certain actions (like wiping a table or pulling down from above my head), the muscle movement feels quite uncomfortable and unnatural and if I keep doing it, the muscle aches a little bit. The right side appears to use the muscle in exactly the same way (that is, visually the movement of the muscle looks the same), but it feels quite 'normal'. Strange because I’m right handed and I'd expect the stronger muscle (which is what it feels like) to be on the right side.

* The indent on the outside of my left breast that I mentioned previously is still there. I can't tell if it's more or less, but you can see that it's not obvious in the video. I have to catch the light in the right way to get a photo of it.

* I can feel a pea sized lump in my left breast. It's quite hard, it doesn't hurt and it's not externally visible. It also doesn't move around and I can't grab it. I've asked my surgeon about it and he wants to do a Skype call to take a look (though it's not visible).

* When I manually lift the left breast, there is a strange gurgling *feel* to it internally (I don't feel it in my hand externally, I feel it internally in my breast). The other side does this also, but only rarely.

I'm wearing a soft bra pretty much all the time and go back to my post-surgery bra at home if I've let them fly free for a day out or something. Sometimes I sleep without one, but I feel more secure with one on (this is true even though they aren't at all flopping about and I sleep on my back).

There is still a little tenderness if I manipulate the tissue around the scar sites, but not in normal daily movement.

I've not pushed my upper body at the gym yet. Taking it very easy.

My scars are perfectly flat but still quite prominent. I'm still putting silicone tape on them 24/7 until they either disappear or I run out of tape: whichever comes first.

I'm including a video that shows how they look, how squishy they are, and how much movement I have in them now.
