Dr. Cummings is very funny and nice. Pre-op visit went great! I did not feel rushed. He answered my questions for the majority but not completely on some questions. He would not commit to size or cc's. He is great if you are going to just increase size or first time BA with no issues. After surgery I did not see him at all. The nurses were great but I expected him to at least pop in to ask how I was before being sent home. I had issues with one breast swelling the nurse "Christi" was very helpful and Dr Cummings saw me and reassured me everything would be fine and it was! I am disappointed that the placent of the plant is low on my chest however he used existing pockets. I would have appreciated the expertise of the surgeon to tell me and make the necessary adjustments. It may have been because pocket adjustment may not have been his specialty or that he doesn't have the trained eye in this area. (This would saver from having to have a second revision). I currently have lateral displacement along with the pockets sitting to low. Otherwise they do look great and look very natural. I've consulted other surgeons that have told me if pockets were adjusted the placement of the implants would be higher my breasts would look larger with better projection. I feel the 510 cc look small which is probably due to the pocket.

I think our breasts look fabulous, and I also think many, many women would love to have your outcome. very natural.
I’m impressed you have kept your post updated for so long thank you sooo much! I feel you look amazing! Seems all doctors around me are adamantly opposed to over muscle placement for various reasons-contracture, sag, balls on chest fake look, but you look great with none of those issues. I’d say those are the perfect real deal there, not fake at all!
Thank you! I think it’s so important to see how implants hold over long term! I haven’t been able to find any pics of ladies with implants over the muscle at 5 plus years so I’m hoping mine continue to hold up over time! I have a love hate relationship with them. Lol I would like to go bigger but don’t want to risk having complications. I just need to lose some weight then hopefully I’ll look more proportioniate. Thanks so much for the positive feedback!

3 1/2 yr since Revision

It's been a long time since I've posted an update. I've been back and forth about getting a revision to go up in size and deal with lateral displacement. After seeing so many botched jobs I'm terrified I will end up disappointed with worst issues. It's been a love hate with my boobs but I think I'm going to embrace what I have and be happy. At this point I'm not planning a revision unless something goes wrong... I'm trying to focus on trying to lose weight that always seems to make them look larger. Lol. There are times they feel so heavy and not so much at other times. Still trying to find a decent bra without underwire that supports without mashing me flat. The underwire cuts into me and makes me sore. I probably need a good bra measurement. Victoria Secret bras are super cute but not comfortable after half of day wearing it. I think they measure the band to squish the air out of you! My boobs are wide with not so much projection. I get the look I want of course with a bra so I guess that's where I am. I hope all you ladies are happy with your results... over all I think mine are doing well and definitely look natural and are very squishy. In a swim suit no one can tell unless I wear a push up top then of course I get the round ball look which at my age doesn't work for me...

I have written on your post before and I always thought you have a wonderful result. I'm really glad to hear that you are keeping them for now. I think you are right in that you have too much to lose by taking the risks of going through surgery all again. Complications are not unusual and it would be heartbreaking if something went wrong considering how great they are now. I'm sure lots of women would have your result as their ideal outcome. Honestly they really look great, larger would not necessarily look better...
Thank you! We are always our worst critic.
Hello I just came across your review. I think your result looks beautiful and very natural. They do not look like fake boobs at all. I honestly think you should keep them. I also have this love and hate relationship with my boobs and at one point went crazy about going bigger, then I read about many bad experiences and multiple surgeries other RS ladies had to endure, so I decided I am keeping mine. Overly larger breasts do not look very flattering and when you go too big they dont look natural any more and people will know you had a boob job, also when you have super large boobs not all cloths look very nice on a body. So in my honest opinion you made the right decision with keeping them. Enjoy your pretty girls!!
Thanks for the compliment! I read your review and yours look great also! You're right no one would guess I have implants unless I tell them... I can definitely play them up with specific bras but overall they are kinda on the small size to me but as I lose weight they do look larger. I'm trying my best to eat better and exercise. It's a struggle for me to commit but I'm trying! Lol. Yours look proportionate to the rest of your body and look natural to me. Enjoy them as I am mine! I'll update pics every year just to show changes if any. I'm over the muscle and so far I haven't experienced the ball in sock most women complain about. Perhaps the smaller size is the reason so I'm thankful for that but at times I still experience boob greed. Definitely not as often as I used too! Lol
Thank you! Its a great idea that you are working on your weight. I follow weight watcher and few years ago I lost 23 lbs and I also lost whatever tiny boobs I had!! My boob became deflated tangerine!! LOL. I gained 7 lbs after my revision surgery, I calculated 3 lbs were my 650 silicone implants! Then I went for a vacation and I gained another 3 lbs! Now trying hard to loose at least 7 lbs and its hard!! So I feel your frustration. I think loosing the fat around the belly will make our boobs look bigger! Its great you update your yearly progress. It sure helps us the newbies to understand our situation better and also to know what to expect. I could never tell yours is over the muscle, they look so natural. I had no boobs to begin with so I had mine under. But you look beautiful so dont touch them!!
