Well, I lost about 40-50lbs. I feel great and I'm still very happy about my decision and results. While I may not have the look everyone is looking for, it's my body and I own it. I'm not against plastic surgery, I just was tired of the big fake breasts. I would consider a fat transfer later, just to give them a more youthful plumpness. But, for now, I'm content with what I've got.
On another note, you can't hardly find the scars. In the photos, don't confuse with my bra marks.
I fit into a shallow 32-c (which totally shocks me)...

Thank you H&H. I haven't been able to get on here as much as I would have liked in the last 30 days. But I am really happy with the results. Thank you so much for your continued support.

Hey, I just read your story and wanted to say that I think you look wonderful and must be very happy with your results. I have my implant removal scheduled for next month and hope that my results will be as good as yours!

Thanks Misspixie! I have been pleasantly surprised. I have lost about 15lbs in the last month and they are still shrinking.

I still feel great. I am surprised that my breasts seem a little bigger or fuller than they were a week ago. I wonder if this is fluffing or if there is fluid inside because I didn't have drains. I'm not concerned either way. They actually turned out to be bigger than I thought. I've been eating better and I'm looking forward to getting in the gym although the pounds are already starting to come off without strenuous exercise.
One of my incisions seems to be a little angrier than the other one and I think I remember feeling like I pulled something on the 1st or 2nd day. I am not concerned about this either because I am now mostly pain free aside from the occasional odd position pain.
So, here are my updated photos. Still the believe this is the best decision I could have done for my body.

You look gorgeous!

Thanks Happy! I'm waiting for an update from you on your review as well!
Hope things are well.

thank you everything is really well! I'm just waiting for the stitches to heal before I update. And the fluff fairy only took care of one boob. I'm sure she will come back for the other one (capsule cleaning). You're so sweet to ask thank you! ♡

What is this fluffing you gals are talking about? I am new here and have read that it seems to happen to some....I am looking into getting explant, not quite there yet! Me being 59 with 5 breastfed babies, I won't look anything as good as ya'll without a lift....and that is way expensive I am thinking...happy for you all to look so good and free of the fake!

Emerson I am right in between week 3 and 4 and my left breast has fluffed this week. After surgery and after the swelling goes down, there are dips and concave like areas in the breast. Everything is healing from the inside - out and takes time to settle. The tissues have been messed with and as healing takes place, a "fluffness" happens. Very frequently the breasts do not heal at the same pace especially if extra work was performed by the doctor. I hope this simple explanation makes sense. I'm 50 and had 3 babies and will update at my week 4. I am VERY pleased with my new look as I can see in the last day or two the stitches are healing very nicely. If you have time, check my profile out.

WOW! You look really good, your a lovely shape and you look SO much better than with implants! I'm So glad that your healing well and feeling good.
October 10, 2014
Thank you Blue, I can always count on you ladies to make me feel really good about myself.

You really look amazing! Did you end up having a capsulectomy or not? I couldn't find the end answer going through the posts...
October 10, 2014
No. I changed the title of my review to reflect that so people would not have read all of my posts to get the basics. I remember when I first got on here I didn't have time to read everyone review in its entirety so I ended up doing a CTRL+F for specific words like "capsule" and "capsulectomy" to get the info I wanted. Thank you so much for the compliment.
October 10, 2014
Ah, I see. I didn't go all the way back up to the title of the post... I just receive email updates and they take me to the most recent update. I went up from there, just not all the way. Thank you :)
October 10, 2014
I wish there was an easier way for the site to give you that info... like the facts about you or something. I think they cold do a better job at that part. I remember that I paid special attention or tried to find people the most like me so I could get an idea of my results or what results look like for people my age. Anyway..... you're welcome!

Just got my gelatine per your recommendation and starting tomorrow! I love your list of healing foods and supplements and as a big fruit and veg lover I'm feeling good about preop care already. Thank you!
