Hi all! I hope this update finds you all healthy and happy :) I really wanted to come back on here and post again because I felt like the reviews that helped me the most when I was pre-big-boobs were the girls who were past a year post-op.
This may be a little lengthy, but I really wanted to explain the little ups and downs that have come along with this surgery for anyone interested, and what the future holds for me. As well as show you guys the official before/after photos from the Dr. which are much better than anything I can take myself.
First of all, I 100% LOVE MY BOOBS & NOSE and the Dr. that I decided to go with, and would do it all again in a heartbeat. My nose, just makes me smile :) No pain or anything weird associated with that at all. It's just cute and perfect. Not much has changed boob-wise since my last post. They look almost exactly the same as 3 months post-op. With that being said, some small things I hoped would go away since then haven't. Here are the ups and downs I still have today...
- My left incision still gets tender, that implant sits slightly lower and just "feels weird" sometimes. No other way to describe it other than it's more comfortable when it's supported.
- Right side has contracture, nothing painful, not severe. You can feel the capsule under the skin, but in general it still moves and looks normal.
- Every once and a while I can see a small bump on the right side where the implant is coming up through my muscle. I am VERY thin, so there's definitely not much to cover it.
- Left side feels like a normal boob, can't even tell there's something there.
- If I'm looking at myself in a mirror front on, they look "fake". Again, no fat to cover the top side probably adds to that problem. Plus, my sternum goes waaay in which adds to the look of the gap in my cleavage. That's always been like that, and has always bugged me even with itty [RS bleep].
- In a bra and every day clothes they look AH-MAYZE-ING.
- I am now most comfortable sleeping in a light sports bra, just for support.
That's all I can think about for now. When I first noticed the bump I called the Dr's office to ask about it, they were able to schedule me that same day to look at it which was nice (this was about 2 weeks ago). I told the Dr. about everything I've stated above. He said that if I wanted to do a small revision I could, which would be under local anesthesia with a knockout cocktail of drugs. He said he would use SERI on both sides over my current implants which helps create a soft tissue barrier giving a smoother appearance for someone like me who is so lean (I normally sit around 13% body fat for those who are curious). Less likely for contracture to form again on the right side (I don't think there are any studies on this, from what I've read so far SERI is a very new product). He would also bring my left side up ever so slightly to even out my crease. Buut, that would make my nipples uneven, so it would be a trade off.
All in all, nothing bugs me enough to want to run into another surgery. Maybe I'll re-think it towards the end of this year, maybe next. But for the foreseeable future, I'm happy :)

Looks amazing. How many cc's did you get. Trying to get an idea so i can tell my ps tomorrow during consult
Mine are 325cc, good luck choosing your size! That was the hardest part for me.
Ok so my ps only suggested a range anywhere from 240 to 365 hp under muscle. The only sizer i tried was the 365 and thought it looked great. Now that im home and see you at 325cc i think that might be better. Maybe 365cc is too much. Here i go again back to square one boob search. Ive gotta decide as im booked for july 15 and i gotta quit smoking to boot wish me luck on that one
You look amazing and so glad you love both your surgeries. ;-)
Ohy goodness! If I woke up with your boobs after surgery I would be thrilled! They look incredible. Are they high profile? Or just moderate?
Thanks! I'm in love :) hehe, they are high profile. With the volume I wanted and my breast width it was my only option.
what bra size are you in do you know?
Victoria's Secret is the only place I've shopped at so far and I measure a 32D there.

3 months!
Hey ladies! Just over 3 months and not too much new to report. Just enjoying them! Wore a bikini for the first time on memorial day weekend and it felt great! They're still not completely symmetrical (but my nipples are, so I'm actually really ok with it! Hah) Dr. said that the capsule around my right healed a little thicker than the left making it slightly larger. But to tell you the truth, I don't notice unless I'm staring at them straight on and squishing them both firmly at the same time.
I don't even notice my nose or the boobs anymore, they both feel like mine. Every once and a while I'll get a little pain around my left incision. It lasts for a day or so and then fades. Hoping that goes away soon, anyone else experience that? I think I might have been taking it a little too hard in the gym a while back.
Hoping all my other February ladies are doing well!

You look so great!! So happy for you!! I'm scheduled for next month and seeing how smooth this went for you gives me so much confidence :) best of luck.
Thank you! Hope you continue to go forward with confidence and you love yours as well! :)
You look absolutely gorgeous!! Congrats on getting such nice boobies. I hope mine turn out as nice as yours.
Glad they feel like "yours" :) xx
Thanks! Good luck to you!!!
Oh, im jealous. I'll write more a bit later
You look amazing. I needed to check the stats, you'r my height, and we weigh almost the same. Congrtulations on your doc's not etending the base width!!! what profileis it?? are they round???mentor's?? what's your base width??
I cannot believe it I was stupid enough to think that my already too high and too packed breast may be dealt with by going bigger, it would make them look even worse.
looking at you I know my ps's boob greed resulted in my look. It embarrasses me when I recollect how much boob greed I had for years later. If only I had access to a fantastic sepcialist I'd do a revision, and downsize.
Thank you! My Dr. was very good about not going over what he could fit. Mine are high profile, smooth, round, Mentor. My base width was 11.5, the one's we picked were 11.4, I forget the projection cm. The only thing I wish is that they weren't so rounded on top, maybe anatomical ones would fix that? Either way I'm so happy with the volume I picked and I LOVE them in a tight dress :)
:)))))))
Hi! Couldn't you do a front photo and the profile of the boobs pleaseeee!!
Sure thing! I'm horrible at profile, for some reason they never turn out good, but I got a decent one so you'll get the idea. I'll do another quick post so you can see.
First of all, you look amazing!!! I loved the black unlined lace bra, where did you get it-I want one?!?!
Thanks!!! The bra is VS, it's the dream angels unlined demi :)
