: Here is My Breast Journey

Thanks so much for sharing your journey. There's nothing better than having company when going through with this matter we have all contemplated for so long (in most cases I've read). Given that is it REALLY TRULY surgery, it's good that we do NOT take it lightly. Thanks girl -- you look like a million bucks! Way to go! Just had my surgery this morning -- gonna try to get post- pics up as soon as I can. So far, I love what I see.

You know I saw a few days back that someone left a comment on this blog. I just read it finally (been busy). Thanks so much for your kind words. They mean a lot. I hope the new you is better than you ever expected it to be. Keep me updated.

Dear Baker, I'll keep you posted for sure. I watched a little of your most recent video, where you discuss the progression of your scars. Your breasts seem to have developed into really nice soft texture and their movement seems great. Also, lots of cleavage. I still have the Grand Canyon going thru the middle....any advice beyond the massaging and patience. It looks like you use a good front closure bra. Any recommendations?

Eileen--I suppose I should do a new video update. Actually, since I'm at my desk at work, I don't see my entire page so I'm not even for sure if I posted my recent video on real self or if I only posted it on YouTube. Anyways...thank you for the compliments on my breasts. Yes, they have settled nicely, I do believe. The "natural" look is what I asked for...sometimes I get bummed knowing I only got 350cc's but I think my doctor did the right thing considering all of my attributes. Anyways..I did look at your profile (pics mostly) and I read a tad (no offense to you, I'm just always so damn busy). I meant to post about you...and just from looking at your pics (and you was right, kind of like my doc too, your doc hit the nail on the head when he knew he was already working with a great canvas) long story short -YOU LOOK AMAZING! Bravo! Bravo, for being brave and taking the plunge to perfect an already perfect lady. Don't you just feel like a million bucks?

Ok, so to your questions. And btw, I'm thrilled you found my story to be a positive influence in your life--I hope I am able to convey the right words to women.

Massaging? I don't know squat about massaging. That was never in my instructions, ever! Idk why either? I hear/read a lot of women who do do it, and I honestly don't know what the purpose is for. I never really read any woman on this blog site that talked about rapid recovery techniques, like my doctor and his practice all employ with their patients. Are you suppose to massage yours?

I lucked out on the bra deal. Since I got nervous about the way I started to feel at about 2 1/2 weeks, the cautious side in me (bc I have no immune system and once again--no one out there to compare my situation with) I got in to see my doc at 4 weeks (still can't believe it took that long! What if something had been wrong for real?!) but by the time I did go, my "scare" subsided and I commented at the appt about wearing a "real" bra. He said I could. I had dropped plenty and I could wear Anything. Yippie! I do have one front closure bra but that's bc it's my "t-back" bra and it's super comfortable from VS. It doesn't even have adjustable straps. I forget the name (if you really want to know remind me and ill find out).

Do you wear a sports bra at night (or when ur laying down?). And have you every night since surgery? Sometimes i still do like las night as a matter of fact. My doc told me that helps to prevent the implants from "falling" to the sides, especially while healing. When was your surgery?

The way I see it, besides gravity and age things we can't help, perhaps if we can maintain are new expensive parts by wearing a contraption at night, then I say women should do it from puberty. Because think about it...if you have big breasts, real or not, and when you lay down to sleep, where do your boobs fall to? Now, years of the same position...my opinion is, our boobs wear our faster than say a woman who wears a sports bra to bed.bc that sports bra holds them puppies where they normally would be if we were in the upright position.

I did read somewhere. Don't know how true it is. But depending on how big of a space you already had before new boobs, its pretty much goin to be the same after. Seems like I read about a woman though who was adamant about closer cleavage and the doc did it alright! She looked totally freaky then! Do ou care to show me? By inbox ? Or you can inbox me and I'll give you my email if you want.

Are you wearing real bras now? A real bra should give you the look youre wanting with cleavage. Are you breasts soft too? W/b/s

Wow Baker thanks for the careful response....I am gonna get back to ASAP...went to a wedding in Philly this weekend and danced like a lunatic. Went out again tonight and more crazy fun. I am acting like a teenager and getting some attention (well deserved, right!!!???) I am gonna have more time to respond properly over the next day or two and will inbox you! Eileen in NYC

Just read your update and saw your 12 week video. I assumed that was a new one.
If it is old- my apologies. I am confused I guess.

Seems like you are doing well. Glad to hear that! Hope school is going good too chica!!

Hey girl...I am well.... Sorry, just now responding to you on here. Your have my number...you can call/text me ANY time, you know that right? Or if you want hit me up and I'll tell ya how to find me onnFB. Either way, stay in touch!

Ok quick refresher...you are using silicone, yes?youre only 5'6-7, right? Weight? How big did you envision yourself, before going in to actually seeing the dr? See, I felt like I just wanted a real, good full C. I have gone
through sizers remore( wishing for bigger). First I did the 11/2 cups, then 1 3/4, then I poured them all out and re-did it to give me 375cc which was actually a tad more...but.... I took pics...front p, side nd angles...sent them via text to one of my Gf...then I modeled for the husband. (are you using just a stocking to fill with?) when it came down to it I was still torn in the decision of 350, 375, & 400. My husband and PS were the best deciding factors...I kept leaning toward 400, so I wouldn't feel it was a waste of money. My husband said 375,was plenty and I really didn't even need this siily procedure(yea right, ask him that now). However, the day of I was still torn 375-400. Turns out I didn't have a choice while under the knife....my doctor knew I wanted them to look natal and not "done." remover going behind the muscle,, too,,youbs silk. Lose some volume (so accountvforvthat)?but I gave to say the rice test helps when you don't have sizers to take home

you look awesome! Thanks for sharing such a long,detailed story.......this site has been SO great for me. I would have never been able to actually go through with the surgery without all this amazing support. just curious-have you dropped and fluffed yet? Mine are soft now, at months post op. And do you have extra nipples?? mine look similar to yours ,kinda like 2 nipples in one...never seen it on another woman before. anyway, Take Care and thanks for sharing your experience:)

Oh, I was being completely sincere-- Your story was very informative and helpful. I am a bit embarrassed by the "extra growths" and have never seen anyone else with them. So, I was surprised--in a good way-- and actually relieved that you displayed them on here lmao. On a lighter note, "fluffing" simply means the breasts have settled into place & are are no longer swollen or high under the muscle. p.s. Funny comment about your pooch....I rescued my beloved Rascal from the pound(2 years, english pointer) his doggie kisses have made my recovery much better. God Bless

I'm not sure offhand which comment you're referring to about my pooch. I think my youngest (of 4) Grace jumps in some of my videos but I do not always post them; I redo them. Lol. They're all mommas babies-she's just the quickest, so I never see her coming till she's there. Back when I was at the bridal place trying on gowns (sep of '10) my mm was in the dressing room with me at one point and when she saw my breast (well more nipples than anything-HA!) she was like "Oh my God, what IS that!?" now mind you, I was already insecure about my breasts, and though I never thought about it ( I guess she really hasn't seen my boobs-well pretty much since I started wearing a bra) I was even more embarrassed. Then talk about meeting a guy for the "first time." that was always a fear, too. The point is, no matter what, none of us are perfect. I do have a lot of upkeep (as my husband calls it) but I'm like you; I will be 37 this year, and though I never work out, like I once Cupid, personally, I feel this is the best I've ever looked in my entire life. Sure, it sucks getting older and being in college with kids who could be my child cn make it "odd" sometimes, but I betcha a million bucks I could walk out of a room and have first choice over any man or boy before some little 21 year old-lmao. Someone asked me the other night, what's next? And did I feel like I was addicted to plastic surgery? Really? 1)don't hate. 2) this is my only "job" I've had one under the knife 3) maybe if you went and had perhaps an entire mommy makeover you'd feel/look better about yourself 4) I'm only doing what I've wafted for a very long time ....it just so happens to be while I'm in my prime; therefore, it's only enhancing what I was born with--nipples and all. Besides my hubby is the ONLY person who gets to see them I person, minus the occassional girlfriend who's curios. Best wishes and prayers sent your way. I'm glad you actual took the time to read my detailed nonsense (that's why I did the videos--a lot less to type) bc I can certainly talk one's ear off!!

Funny, I didn't notice anything irregular about your nipples at all in the pic. I am obviously ignorant, i thought they looked perfectly normal. I had even looked back at your pic after she said that and still had no clue.... lol
