My Breast Augmentation Journey - Columbia, MO

2 years after my augmentation. I am still very happy that I went through with this procedure. If ever i had a doubt all I need to do is take a quick look at my before photos. It has definately improved my self esteem as well as self image. For those of you questioning youself as to whether you should shouldn't? I say go for it. If you're like me by the time you are reading this blog, you have pondered the idea for years. If you have any doubts its likely they stem from what will other people think? Be it your spouse, friends, relatives or coworkers. In my experience, my husband was a little worried deep down that I wanted to have these to flaut them, but I have been just the opposite. I just wanted to feel good about my chest, not ashamed. Yes, the size increase, was definately nice, but when you at my photos from start to finish you have to see how bad my breast were sagging. They y were terriable. Having this procedure was better then a facelift. It was a bodylift. I feel like my breast look younger, etc. I love this website because I was able to relate to other women going on this journey. It helped tremendonlessly. You need support from someone who can relate to your journey and not judge you. Best wishes too. :)

It is coming upon my year aniversery of my BA, I am still very happy with my choice and results. My PS indicated that things could continue to settle up a year which is true. Reflection of my experience. If I had to do over would I? Big YES. For me, I had always felt slighted in that area physically and not balanced. The desire only got stronger as I aged and my breast started to droop. Great!! Droopy small [RS bleep]!! ;) LOL Anyway, my self esteam was taking a beating and no amount of reassuramce from husband, friends, etc. worked. To me it felt like pity. I knew what they looked like. Wearing pads, water bras, etc. made me feel worse. So when I started this process for real, there was no looking back. My husband wasn't overly excited about it for a few reasons. One, we are not well off so he saw this as a waste of $. Second, I think a little insecurity was brewing. The reality is that to me, implants are better than the real deal. They stay round, firm. sexy, as long as you take good care of them, they are GREAT! I never looked better in a bathing suit, tops. etc. Post surgery I was extremely sore. mine were under the muscle and I went up from a small 34C to a full 34DDD. Lots of swelling, etc. Mine stayed high for months and about three months into healing I started to notice that my right one was settling into place allot slower than the left. PS kept reassurring me, etc. At my six month visit it was still not quite as settled into place as my right. At that point my PS realized that the muscle on my right side was not as open as the left which restrict my implant from settling nicely in place like the left. It bothers me some, because of course you want them to be perfect, but not enough to pay for a revision. I will post photos soon so you can see what I mean. It's not obvious unless I lean forward, straight up and down, on my back, etc. it's not obvious. When I look at all the before and afters, combined with the bad results some celebrities with botched boobs, I feel blessed. Here I am a year later, swelling down and scars healed to not being notable at all. Plus, yes, all sensation to everything. :)

August 14th, 2012, 5 months and 10 days out. I still LOVE them and would do it again and again. I will relay to others that my right implant seems to be slower at settling the left. This is because I am right handed. At my 3-4 month followup my PS said everything is normal and I have no problems going on it's just slower but to be patient and it will slowly settle into place. One thing I have been going through lately is this sudden worry that one will deflate. I have no reason to feel this way. Most women say they don't feel their implants internally after awhile but I do feel mine sometimes like when I am laying down and turn over, it feels like they are moving within the breast capsule. Weird, I know. But this makes me that much more aware of them instead of just forgetting I wasn't born with them. Anyone else have this happen?
