4.5 weeks....no changes
UPDATED FROM BOOOOOOOOOOObies
Nothing but issues:(
WORTH IT$6,215
So its been over 2 years since I went for my first BA. I figured I should give an update on my journey. Which has been no piece of cake!
Had my first BA done Oct 2012. I had 475cc's. Within 3 months I developed Capsular contractures bilaterally! They went extremely hard and rose up high on my chest! I lived with my implants in this condition until my next scheduled surgery Aug 2013. During this surgery, my doctor replaced my old implants with new ones 500cc this time & performed a capsulectomy. Within only 3 weeks this time, capsules immediately began to form and they became tight, hard and high on my chest again!!!! Such a disappointment!! So my surgeon said we have one last option and thats to try again, doing a bilateral capsulectomy, replacing implants with new AGAIN and using Alloderm this time, in hopes of my body not rejecting the implants AGAIN:/. So this is what I did. I waited and had my 2 nd corrective surgery a whole 16 months later! Dec 2014.
Currently Im 5 weeks post op. I decreased my size because I was so sick of having large hard breasts! Im now 420cc
Again they have firmed up quite a bit, but have not risen which i believe is due to the alloderm which is sewn in under the bottom of the implants, like a harness so my body wont squeeze onto it.
At this point I can feel and see what almost feels like plastic sticking out underneath, and by my nipples, Im hoping this fades away. They even looked quite deformed a week ago but since gave taken on a better shape.
If these don't work, my surgeon advised me to remove them.
My overall experience i have to say has been quite negative. Im just happy I did not gave to pay anything for the additional 2 surgeries or the possible 3rd to remove them.
I did not expect my body would reject the implants so strongly, my surgeon told me I have a very strong response to anything foreign. The amount & thickness of scar tissue was unbelievable!
What I wish I knew before, that I know now.....
Implants caused my breasts to stretch causing terrible stretch marks on my breasts, especially the sides.
The implants increased the size of my areola, which are now quite ugly if you ask me.
I have a lot of visible veins on my breasts that I did not before. Also ugly.
My incisions around my areola are visible! I wish I went in the fold under the breast instead.
I would eventually come to hate large breasts! Even my boyfriend didn't like them. i'm glad I went down from 500 to 420! I felt fat with larger boobs. Mind you a 80 cc diff isnt much maybe a cup or possibly less, Im still wearing the same bras.

Well, I'm still looking like my 3 week pics, so no...
Well, I'm still looking like my 3 week pics, so no need to post anymore. I email my PS coordinator a pic of my wonky boobies and and asked her to show my PS and let me know if he needs to see me sooner than my next scheduled appoint early Dec. I just heard back from her & shes trying to get me in this week, actually today but I was away and didn't get her call. Actually I was super busy in Bikini Village & La Senza trying on swimsuits & bras all day.lol
I'm just hoping its nothing too serious like contractures, I am hoping my PS will agree to revise them if need be, but I would have to wait til next year as I cannot afford to take another 3 weeks off this year!
Wearing a bra or swimsuit I still look great it just kind of puts a damper on my topless EN DEVOUR IN St. Maarten:S
I only have anxiety over my PS charging me for a revision, when I asked him twice prior to surgery about ANY costs and he replied that there would be none. I just keep thinking worse case senerio, like what if he refuses to fix them or tries to convince me they look fine or blame my anatomy for the way they look!?
Ok so while I was trying on swimsuits & I felt so bad for the poor woman working there as I made her get me every bikini top in every size til I could figure out my perfect fit. I had no intention of buying any either lol
I have to say it was a bittersweet one, I didn't realize how hard it is to find certain large sizes! At Bikini Village I need a large in every top, I even asked for a XL, in one style and she didn't have one.
Off to La Senza and again I tried on different sizes. I eventually got measured and the woman put me between a d- dd. Then she said I could wear a 32 DD for a more snug fit or a 34 D. I have some bras that are 36 Ds and I don't like the strap so tight. The one I'm wearing right now is a 36 D and I'm almost bursting out of the cups. I had a hard time finding my size in the cute bras, especially the one I really wanted:S Maybe I can get it online.
Anyhow wonky boobs or not I've made into the D club, exactly where I wanted to be:)
Will update after my PS appointment next week.

I think your boobs are looking great. I sure wished I had gone bigger!
Hey BOOOoooobies, your girls look fantastic!. In response to your "crunches" question, I started day 5 with ball crunches ( arms crossed with my hands cupping my girs ) and day three I was doing leg work ( squats, pliés, lunges ). So if you feel up to it; go for it! Take care!
Hi BOOOOOOOOOOObies, You look great.
I notice in a few of your updates that you have quite a lot of different bra sizes. Perhaps I can help point you in the right direction of finding your correct bra size since we may be similar in size. Having the right size can make a huge difference. Be careful when being fitted by “professionals”. Most of the time their goal is to get you to buy a bra that they have in the store. I’ve been to Victoria’s Secret for kicks and giggles just to see what size they would try to sell me. The lady said I was a 36D/36DD……in reality I wear a 28GG/28H (U.K. sizing). I also want to point out that when you have hi-profile implants the shape of the under wire can make a difference in fit as well. Some bras have a wider wire that ends up poking me in the sides and under my arms because I don’t have any breast tissue there. It will give my breast a flattened east-west spread so under clothing I look flatter.
Like you I am 5’6” with a longer torso, but 130Lbs. Pre-op my measurements were 33-26-37. Post-op I now measure 37-26-37, it’s been a little over a year since my surgery. I have 475cc hi-profile silicone gel implants under the muscle.
you look great!!!
how did everything work out?

Ok I'm at my 3 weeks mark as of yesterday, so I took some pics. Pardon my skin, it's in rough shape right now I break out over anything that touches it. I've been applying lotion & scar cream like crazy. I'm noticing from these pic I am getting those dreaded stretch marks, those have been causing me restless night from itching so badly. I'm also noticing my breasts still look uneven, but they were before, so I was expecting this. I also went out today again! I've gone to Walmart everyday to try on different bra sizes, and styles. I finally found one with thick straps and with lots of support, it's padded, but not heavily like I use to wear. It cost $20 the brand is just some cheap brand I think called Triumph...I think. I love the cleavage I get with it and its very comfortable with a wire even.I'm proud to say I'm wearing a 36 D. and it's almost too small, I like a tight fit. My nipples are almost uncovered. This is what I found when trying bras on. The ones that had slight padding I fit a 36 D, ones with push up or thicker padding I fit into a DD at least. The sports bras I'm a 34 C and a 34-36 C in bras with zero padding. I prefer pads as I don't want nips showing through.
My boobs look so small to me now I can't believe the difference, I feel I look like how I imagined the 350s would look. I could have def done 550. If I can afford it in the next couple years I'd like to go up to 600.
Finally all my pressure is gone, and I never have any pain, the only thing that feel akward is how tight the skin is and firm they feel. They have soften up quite a bit & I can smoosh them around. ALso lifting or a push up hurts.

Hey boooooobs you're breasts look super perky and full. Awesome results! Can your PS even out the nipples for you? Looks like one could have been lifted to make the nipples more even & symmetrical.
Gosh I'm just hanging in there hoping that they even out. Pre op my PS I definietly did not need a lift. He mentioned i had one bigger then the other, my left being the smaller one. ASAP post op I noticed my right was still larger & asked him about it & he said he didnt like the look when he added more CC to the smaller one and it made no difference. My PS also said my lefty was a struggle he had to attempt dissection multiple times, due to my muscles being large & the implant being a larger size:S So I hope left doesn't look the way it does because he couldn't get it dissected properly. With that said my left has been the one from the start that has been healer at a faster rate. I do prefer the look of my right.
Question...can the PS do this "straightening out" after if I'm unhappy or what? I don't see my PS until the first week of December.
Buy a correctly ratio'd high end version of a total EFA supplement with 3-6-9 fatty acids..Amazing for your skin.I had three babies and am tiny. have zero stretch marks period from pregnancy which stretched my no fat belly a hell of a lot more than your boobs are;-) and have been taking EFAS since I was 18. Ask any person at a sprouts or whole foods about the correct ratio..I think it 2:1..and then take double the recommended amount during healing process. You will see a difference in your skin everywhere. I notice a difference win four days when I run out of them..
