POSTED UNDER Breast Augmentation Reviews
Almost a year post-op. What a roller coaster. New pics.

Well, it's been almost a year post-op, and four months since my last update.
WORTH IT$7,000
My last update was at about four months and if you read my review you can tell I wasn't very happy with the results. My PS told me to give it time that it sometimes takes a year to see final results. I can say now that I am finally happy with the way things are turning out. I think they look very natural, which is what I wanted. I am 40 and wanted nice breast but real looking breast. My friends that have came over for pool parties cannot believe the results. As a matter of fact, we where at the lake and a friend of mine was commenting on another females fake breast. She said you can so tell they are not real. Me having a bathing suit top asked how about mine. She couldn't believe the results. I ended up showing them to several of the woman in our group because they had also thought about having breast augmentation done. Several of my friends have even taken the doctors information and plan on getting consultations. It sure does change thinks with the way people look at you. Men can't take their eyes off of them and women are envious. My husband loves them and so do I, and that's all that matters. I must say this experience has been a roller coaster for me. I tried to prepare myself for it and believed I failed. I have such hard feelings toward myself. Also, the friends who supported me in the beginning seem different now, and some friends,who I thought where my best are no longer close and never once asked me if I was ok or anything. That broke my heart. I can hardly wear any of the tops I had before so I've bought some new clothes and bras. It's nice to wear sun dresses without a bra. They feel very natural and feel like they belong to me. I wished I would have done it years ago. I'm going to post updated pictures so give me your info girls! Are they too big? Do they fit my body size?

1/24/13. Well I'm almost 4 months and I went to see my PS and he says the right one is still a little high and he is not sure it will come down any further. He says it looks normal, just a tad higher than the left. He is going to check it again at the end of March. He said I can have surgery again and have the pocket redone. My down time would be another three weeks and it would cost a grand. So look at the pictures ladies and tell me what you honestly think. I just don't want to look like a freak in a bikini.

I have one larger then the other, I don't know why... My dr. said give it time to drop. But I had a breast bipsy done three months prior and they took out tissue. So if the tissue is not back soon, I'll just go larger on one side. Yes you can tell there is a difference in a tight shirt. So I put a push up pad in the cup that is the smaller breast and they look even for now. No worries summer is not here yet. : ) patience!!!

Hi DoNthis, hope things are going well, I have refrained from all peck exercises for the same reason; they feel "bizarre". There is a PS on this site that discourages all peck training post op for a YEAR! Until my right peck "relaxes" I am doing simple 5lbs flies & press...wimpy but at least it is better than nothing! Tale are : )

I'm in the same boat. I've been cleared for all exercise, but it just feels so weird in my chest. I'm staying with 5 pound weights also and only going half way down on my push ups. I figure it's better than nothing. I'm just over 3 months post op.

Do you also feel weird when you lift something, opening a heavy door. Also I'm in Chicago so when the fridged weather is zero out and your tense from the cold my chest feels strange. I don't know I just got use to it but it's still annoying. On the Positive side... It too us X amount of years to get use to our old bodies this change we have to get use to as well. Lol : )

From time to time it does feel strange, my muscle seems to tense up; only the right side though! "Annoying" is exactly what it is...*sigh* ; )

Honestly, I really can't see that much of a difference. Nobody's breasts are exactly the same. Even after a BA. My left is slightly higher but definitely not noticeable with clothes on, or even with a bikini top on. Remember, it can sometimes take up to a fulk year for everything to "settle". I think you look great! Is it worth the risk of more surgery and money? And you could wind up having a complication from a second surgery. Remember, the purpose of a BA is to enhance you, not make you perfect. Like I said earlier, I think you look great and i really can't see much of a difference. You can look at my profile pics and see there is a slight difference with my left. Try not to worry. :)

Thank you so much. I'm having a hard time being confident with them so I appreciate the kind words. Honestly I'm afraid of another surgery. The emotional stress is the worse part.

Well I hope you will be able to let that go and enjoy your new girls. You look great there is nothing to be self conscious about! Now its time to enjoy! =)

Question? Can an implant move back up instead of down? I did push ups and boy that felt strange, but since then my right implant seems higher than it was. Anyone have any input?

Hey DoNthis,
Its probably best you ask your PS if something is wrong. I am thinking your muscle has gotten tighter which could potentially push it up, but it is best to ask your PS what they think happened.

Hi! I am sorry you are having a hard time, but if you read the reviews on this site, you will see you are not alone. It does take a while for your breasts to get to their final appearance, 3-6 months and sometimes a year. I am 6 weeks post-op and my PS told me that he doesn't even consider doing any revisions until his patients are 4-6 months post-op. It takes that long for final results to be seen. They do so much changing before then. If you are able to wear an underwire bra, I just got one by Bali- Comfort For U is the brand. It is very comfortable. I got 475cc, so mine are still alittle high. This bra gives nice coverage and helps to minimize the top part and is very soft so it won't irritate. Hope that helps. Hang in there. It's sooo hard to wait. Trust me, I am a very impatient person. I just keep reminding myself that it will be all worth it. 3-6 months of waiting will be worth the many years in the future that you will be Boobalicious! :)

Thank you so much MiaKat. This waiting game is killing me. It makes me worry more than I probably should.

Hey, I'm going through the same thing as you. My right though is fuller and rounder and larger than my left and both look completely different. They always have since the first day post op. Every measurement of the one breast compared to the other is off by half an inch it drives me nuts. I go to see my PS soon to complain.
Does you PS charge for revisions?
I'm wishing you all the best!

I broke down on my PS at my last visit. He says give it time. But I think I have an obvious diformity on the right and I wish he would be honest with me but I don't feel like he is. I'm afraid it will continue to get worse. I'm sure he charges. It looks like most do. I'm sorry your going through this too. Please keep me updated and let me know how your doctors visit goes.

hi sweetie,i have looked at ur pictures,and something does look different to me,ur left breast does look different from the right,hopefully it is taking a little bit longer to drop,i guess thats why they say to wait three months,i just had a breastlift/aug on November 16,im just taking it day by day,i have 550cc saline moderate profile,i had a fat transfer to my buttocks in Aug,and to me it doesnt look right,so i know how you are feeling,i look at my but evryday,and i can point out evrything what is wrong,i cant see that dr until Feb,cuz you have to wait 6 months,i want to do it again to fix it,but you also have to have enough of fat on ur body to do so...so im stuck right now,i work out,and they took all the fat i had to do the transfer to begin with,so believe me i feel ur pain,lets have hope tho,it still can drop,its just a waiting game right now...i will keep you in my thoughts,because we all want to look good,and it hurts when we are not satisfied....
