WORTH IT$7,400
So today I had a PO check with my Doc and he was impressed with how things are coming along :). He even said I was one of his best results. My breasts are so soft that he actually forgot they have saline implants and thought they were silicone, which is of course awesome. My scarring have gotten a little redder, but my scars are flat and soft, you can't win everything lol. I was cleared to start using a scar treatment, so I picked up some kelo-cote. I also had a stitch that didn't want to heal properly that my PS took out for me. Pain wise, I have none, still the tiniest bit sore around my lower incisions. I'm also allowed to wear underwire bras again! I went and bought 2 super cute ones today and it's AWESOME! I'm really happy I went through with this surgery, the results have been very worth it.

Well today I've decided to try being fully off medication. No more muscle relaxers or pain meds. I'm trying to gauge how the hyper sensitivity is doing, so depending on how that goes I might go back to the pain meds as they're a super low dose since it's for the regenerating nerves and not intense pain. A few days ago I went play bra shopping just for [RS bleep] and giggles, I LOVE how they look in a bra! And the best part is that when I take the bra off, I still have boobs! YAY! I couldn't be happier so far with how everything is healing up. I hope my implants drop the TINIEST bit more so that I get that super cute nip slightly tilted up look, but if not still love them. I also tried on an old swim suit from Spencer's that I bought last year. The difference is CRAZY!

I didn't buy it from there, but that's the pills he gave me. You start taking them the night of or immediately PO, either works. I started the night of.

Wow you look great! I also had extra sagging and uneveness from a 40 lb weight loss as well (they always were, but the loss made it more dramatic). I love that you are posting regular pictures so we can see your recovery. Great way to track your progress. I think I will have to follow suit as well! If you're anything like me, it boosted my confidence in myself in such a dramatic way. I only wish I had done it back when I was your age and not waited! Congrats on having such an amazing new look!
December 17, 2011
Yeah, with all my researching before the procedure I noticed that not many people did very regular updates of their healing unless something was wrong. I guess because when things are good you don't really think about updating on a site much..Anyhoo, I felt it gave a skewed look to the surgery since people like to complain more than compliment. I also like being able to look back and see how much they've improved as they've healed as they just keep getting better and better! Personally I'm really not a self conscious person, never was, even when I was heavier. However, now I'm a narcissus with my boobs LOL. It is just so amazing to take my bra off and lo and behold, the boobs are still there! My bikini top looks so great on now, I'm actually going to post an update :P. Again, thanks for the kind words, I'm really glad your lift has done so much for you and your confidence, IDK bout you, but I just can't wait til swim suit reason and we get to rock perfectly perky ta-tas :D

I love it! If only I was as on top of it as you.
Yes, it seems like more people had complaints or issues, so its nice when you finally come across something positive. Especially when making this big decision. It is nice to see your progress. I have been so busy I haven't really had time to take pictures regularly, so judging by your progress I am excited to see they will change! They look great now, but I'm excited to see the "settled" look.
That is so awesome you had and still have such great confidence! I always wished I had when I was heavier and even now. I hear ya with being a narcissus with your boobs. They seem to come out a lot these days! LOL!! I love showing people how great they are! I have to say I LOVED trying clothes on without my bra and feeling like I didn't even need one.
I love the bikini photos! They look amazing! I need to go shopping for bikinis as I'm going to Mexico to get married in February and have never really worn a bikini. I'm looking forward to seeing how they will look...and to think I still have a while to lose a little more weight and get fully bikini ready so the TaTas are the stars of the show!

Awww, you're making me blush lol. Congrats on the wedding! I send my best wishes in that regard :). I think they are already the stars, but I'm sure you'll look amazing on your wedding day and for the beach. I'm working on losing a little pudge as well since I've gained a few pounds due to not being able to be as active as usual.

I'm using your pics to show my PS the look I want! Except I want to be a tad bit bigger :) congrats on the new look!

I loved reading your updates about your experience with the breast lift and augmentation. I have a very similar breast size and shape and am also considering surgery. I was wondering if your surgeon reccommended the implants for any particular reason because of your natural fullness. I have seen some photos of breast lifts where they look flat without the implant, not sure why? Overall would you say you are happy with the results even though you have the scars? I am currently a size 32 DD so augmentation seems like it might be a little much.
December 22, 2011
The implants were recommended because I wanted to ensure I stayed in the D/DD range and my PS felt that I may have ended up a full C. However it's hard to talk definite cup sizes with a surgeon because of how much they differ sometimes. My main reason for them was that I had a decent difference in mass between my left and ride side, about a cup difference and I'm going to go through with surgery, I felt I might as well go for the "too good to be true" look because otherwise what would I be paying for? lol. Also, some feel that small complete under the muscle implants can act almost like an internal bra and hold the breast tissue up. My surgeon was also able to make my horizontal scar smaller because of adding the implant. I would assume that the flatter lifts you see are due to the breast not really having a lot of breast tissue and are mostly skin, so you can perk them up, but without an implant they're not going to re-inflate vs when someone has a LOT of tissue but also a lot of loose skin, it may look like the breasts were filled because it's all in one place. I am very happy with my results thus far. The way I see it, I had scars already with stretch-marks from my breasts growing so quickly when I was younger, so the scars from the surgery are a more than reasonable trade-off. There are a lot of things to think about when it comes to the choice to get implants :)

Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! I had it yesterday night and im in pain. Jayjay did you experienced alot of pain the fiist few days? If you did. How many days did it last?
December 23, 2011
Well you did just go through surgery :). I wasn't in excruciating pain, it was there, but very bearable with the meds my PS had me on. Everyone's pain threshold is different and I tend to feel I have a pretty high pain tolerance. I was actually in MORE pain a week PO due to weaning off the meds lol. I was pretty sore up until recently to be honest, I'm only just now reaching a point in my healing where I'm not sore or hypersensitive. Just gotta be patient :)

JayJay49December 14, 2011
Now three weeks out and everything s healing very well :). I had a couple areas where my skin didn't like the dissolvable sutures, however they have cleared up well after taking off the tape and daily washings with antibacterial soap. I'm not sure when I can start using a scar healing/fading creme, but I was planning to start when all the scabs are gone. I just LOVE how perky they are! With swelling dissipating I'm still sitting at a 34DDD/F, but the shape is definitely a lot better and hopefully they'll go down to a full 34DD, but if they don't I still love them. The PA prescribed me some medication to help with the severe hyper sensitivity that my right breast and my lower incisions developed. My left nipple has almost full sensation back!!! Yet, the sides of my breasts are still numb in some areas. My breasts are starting to look more even and my nipples have evened out really well. I'm a little concerned with my left nipple as the top it kind of jagged? Overall still super psyched.

Thank for the review. I have similar body to yours. Just a few more pounds. But the saggy on my breasts wast a little worst. I went to my doctor with your pictures and i said doctor i want them like her! Im scheduled for the 21st pf this month. Im having 400 cc implants. The implants came with 10yrs warranty but the company Tcan extend the warranty for life time if something go weong. You should inquire about that with your surgeon.
Good luck with the healing and keep us posted with new pics.

Well thank you, it means a lot to know that this review has been helping others :). I didn't know you can extend the warranty of breast implants, I will have to ask my PS about that the next time I see him so thank you for mentioning it. I hope everything goes well for you, good luck with your surgery.
December 15, 2011
You have 45 days from procedure date. Keep us posted. I will do same. Winter will give us time to heal and write. Im scheduled for next wednesday.
December 15, 2011
Does it cost extra? Like a phone protection plan? Anyhoo, just updated with my 3 week PO pics :)
December 15, 2011
Im getting Allergan saline implants. Google that plus warranty, maybe cppwarranty.com gets you to it. We are suppossed to have 10 years warranty automatically but i dont know what brand you got so ask your dr. They look nice. Oh that makmeheal website is really good. I just made my order. Check out the Wound-Be-Gone Hydrophilic Scar Gel. I found good reviews about it. But it looks like you are haling good. Next week is my turn!
December 15, 2011
I will def look for some warranty info, thanks :). I do know that mine have a 10yr warranty, I'm kinda finding it funny that we can get lifetime warranties on our boobs lol. I like the MMH site a lot because after doing a LOT of price comparing of different sites, they have the best prices when you include shipping, least in the USA. I got the compression bra that's antibacterial+has sea kelp nutrients, IDK how much it is true/works, but it's AWESOME, the only bra I bought (I got 2 so I could still be wearing one while washing the other). I was actually looking at getting the Scar Esthetique scar healing+reduction creme w/silicone as it has some good reviews, but I'll check that out too. I wish you luck and a complication free recovery! :)
