I am doing just fine. The girls are the perfect size and feeling I was looking for. I'm still in awe a year later, every single day. Wanted to post recent photos. Can't wait for my second summer with them (last summer they were still healing)

They look great.I had cc revision on my rt breast 3 weeks ago. Had a revision in jan. We didn't use the strattice this time. If it happens again we will. I had silicone under the muscle too. He cleaned out the pocket and removed the scar tissue (capsule ). yours looked great after a year! Glad u fixed it And are happy!

Thanks!! How are you? I feel like I miss you, lol, we haven't written in a while.

lol, I know what you mean! I'm doing really well. Have been able to maintain my weight and not lose more or gain back. Love my boobs still but don't like the wrinkling. It's from losing more weight after my BA. I didn't think I'd end up losing 15 more lbs or whatever is was. On the flip side they look more natural bc of that. lol.

They look great!!! Perfect for your petite frame. My 350's look smaller than your 225's which goes to show how different implants can look on different body types. I'm also a 30" bra band and considering going bigger but I don't want them to look crazy big on my chest. I do like how yours turned out! :::hugs::::

Thanks but read the whole review. Most of these pics are 350. I had 350 for my revision and only 225 at first.

Nothing new to add, just wanted to post pics. Love my revision with Dr Boynton. I've added a little more dips and lat pulls to my workouts and rock climbing because it feels less wonky now. Still running every day, no problems at all with yoga (pushups feel perfectly normal) and started weight lifting and kettle belling.

U started weight lifting 9 mths later :(. , i workout everyday n dont want to have to wait so long :/. I was hoping id be ok to weight life in 6 weeks or less

Oh no!! You need to reread my entire review start to finish. I was in the gym at 2 weeks post op for lower body and doing everything else by 5 weeks, including running and full yoga and full cardio. What I meant was I recently added more weight lifting to my 7 day workout routine of running, yoga, everything, etc. And I had a very complex revision with Strattice, so I have to be careful with chest presses, but that's about it.

oh ok sorry..I've been reading alot n probably missed that ty for.the info and sharing your story!:)

No problem at all. Not working out after both my BAs was a huge concern for me as well, so I wanted to make sure and clarify that for you. Even within a few days you can walk a little, and it's good to take a break and take good care of yourself as you ease back in so that you don't mess anything up or hurt yourself. But the time goes by so quickly ... and you end up with gorgeous boobs -- and no amount of working out will get you that, lol!! I didn't lose any strength after waiting the required few weeks, so no worries. Drink lots of water to flush out the general anesthesia and eat cleanly so that you can recover well.

Wow you look wonderful. Do they move at all when flexing pecs..... am at 5 week post op now.....he fixed the upperward movement but they are still way more mobile that I want but I am just picky...overall mine are better

Hey flex!! I've been following your story all along and glad you are doing better!! Mine do move to the lateral side a bit like normal dual plane. Not sure if that's good for them to move, so I still try to avoid directly working the pecs, like chest presses, but pushups feel fine because I keep my arms narrow and activate my triceps more. For dips it feels as if the Strattice is supporting them in a way, so I'm glad to have it but also don't want to mess up the Strattice or cause rippling, so I just try to do other arm exercises. Handstands and forearm stands feel perfectly fine, I do them daily, but it's really lat pull downs and chest presses that feel not so great (no pain, just wonky)
