Your results are amazing. I am 10 days post op and got 425 unders saline, breast crease incision. I cant wait. WOw what a boob job! it looks extremely natural, have you not told me...wouldnt have known. CONGRATS!
Hiya E7~ WOW....you look great!!!! It's obvious you picked a wonderful PS, he did an outstanding job. I hope your abdominal surgery went well. Thanks for sharing your story:-)
I have a one year old and a three year old but will only have my husband home to help with them for two weeks after surgery. The Dr. I'm seeing tells me I can't lift them for 6 weeks. I really want the surgery but now I'm debating waiting until my youngest is 2, which is a whole year away. Did you have any issues lifting your kids after 2 weeks?
i am a stay at home mom and i took care of my kids all by myself after 2 weeks.. it wasnt too difficult i just took it as easy as possible and made my hubby do all the cleaning :)
I have to tell you in your first paragraphed you summed up exactly how I feel!!! I'm so thankful for you posting your story! You give me much more seriousness to getting implants :) Did you have your put in under the muscle?
Yes I did put them under the muscle. It has been a year and a half now since I got them and I am sooo beyond happy that I did.
I am so happy to have found your post. I am a stsy at home mom of a 2 & 3yr old boys. I started a small C before them, went up to DDD with them, then deflated to less than an A. Totally feel unatractive and not like a woman. I have a consult tomorrow but planning on going to a D. My biggest worry is that I will only have help for the first week then I am on my own as my husband is on the road alot. I am most worried on how hard it will be to take car of the kids once my help is gone. Any suggestions or words of advice?? you look much like I do now and what I want to look like after.
what was the price tag if you dot mind me asking?

Its been about 3 months and 1 week and they feel great.. they are all the way healed and i LOVE them! i had my last post op appt last week, and then i went shopping for a new bikini :) i cant wait to actually wear it and get a tan :) Everything with my boobs are great but i do have to have abdominal surgery in about a month :( i have severe diastasis recti and a few ventral hernias.. so i will be having surgery to fix the hernias.. i already have a couple of little scars on my hips from an appendectomy and i have some stretch marks .. now i get to add approx 5 more little scars on the upper part of my abdomen but atlest this will fix the pain im having and i will be able to get my ab muscles back :)

I posted a some pics in my new bikini :) sorry they are not the best its hard to take pics of yourself lol

You look so great!!
Thank you for your story and updates! You look so great! I am so excited to have my consultation with Dr. Bartell! - just waiting to have the money first. It is so exciting to read the reviews of you and AEM who also used Dr. Bartell!! You both look fantastic. I am wondering ... is it 3 weeks to be able to raise your arms? What about lifting restrictions. Other recovery times seem so much shorter with other incision placements and types of procedures . I still want to go armpit though. Just wondering how I can get off work long enough!!! AND how long before life can resume to normal??
he will say 2 weeks for restrictions.. no lifting your arms up at all an no lifting.. after that you can do whatever.. i was able to lift and take care of my kids after 2 weeks and my son was about 20lbs.. but i wouldnt do too much for the 1st month you get pretty sore quick..
Did you lift your arms just half way up the first 2 weeks? Does he mean just not totally over your head?
he told me my elbows had to stay at my sides
You look great. Im having my op begining of june and so excited. You made me even more. Im a cup A and doing a C and im a size 6/8. Hope i will look good a have a good experience.
your boobs r so perfect now. we hav about the same body size n shape. im just a bit shorter. i hop emy boobs come out just lik urs

its been 7.5weeks since my surgery and they are perfect! they have fully dropped and are really soft. im wearing a 34d or 32dd at victorias secret (they do not look that big in clothes tho) i think they are a perfect size for me. im posting some new pics in my new bra. it is a light push up VERY minimal padding :) i will try to get some full lenth shots soon so you can see proportions.. i stopped having "morning boob" around 4 weeks and could sleep on my back flat and side around the same time.. around 5 weeks i could sleep on my stomach again. i am having sooo much fun shopping for bras and clothes :) but most of my clothes from before still fit me i just actually fill them out now :) lol

WOW! Your 7.5 week shots are AWESOME!!!! Yay for you!!
I know I have already told you but you look AMAZING! I hope mine turn out as great as yours.

I am also getting saline implants- did you doctor put any pressure on you to get silicone? What made you decide on saline? Some people say that saline implants make "swooshing" noises- have you experienced this?

Also, did you get the implant placed under the muscle?

Thanks :)
THANKS :) no pressure to do silicone.. i wanted saline because if it ruptures i will know and wont have to be concerned with my health.. mine do not make a swooshing noise (lol) they are placed under the muscle. i can feel the implant a little but they are still healing and it is only if i try otherwise they feel really natural to me. they bounce and move normal and are are very soft and squishy :) they feel VERY natural to me and i didnt have barely any breast tissue before.
luv ur results
Your results are awesome!

I think we've all said how amazing you looked early on -- but those new bra photos are incredible! You must be ecstatic :) How awesome does it feel wearing low-cut shirts now? 

THANKS! i finally got to show off the girls ..my husband and i went out for his bday and it felt so great! and he loves it too lol :)

Haha I'm sure he does! We went to cirque show over the weekend and i got to wear a new corset I bought... don't think my bf minded that one bit :) Although to be honest I think I get even more entertainment out of them than he does!
