Incisions...

I just figured I would show you all my armpit incisions. They are basically not even noticeable anymore!! I never used any kind of scar cream or anything. The cuts were made in the natural creases in my pits so you really cant see em anyway!! :-)

I have a question for you... I see where you got 350 on one side and 400 on the other. Were you asymmetrical? I'm just trying to figure out how much of a difference does 50cc make since I'm so worried about the size. Thanks

One was bigger than the other, but not by a lot. It was never very noticeable, but that 50 cc's made the world of difference! If you looked at me naked, you couldn't tell, unless you REALLY looked. But after surgery, the smaller one that got more saline was the noticeable bigger of the two!! But once all was settled, they are perfect!! YAY!!

One more question (sorry) tell me how do they feel? Do they jiggle, move around, bounce? Its just that I've read where other people with Saline say that they feel so hard and unatural. Like not part of them. Is this true with you? Thanks

They feel fairly real. The move and jiggle, but not quite as much as real ones. But for me it feels pretty close. They totally feel like a part of me!

I cant believe I've had the girls for a year now!! I couldn't be happier! I wish I'd have done it earlier! Years earlier! They are completely settled and dropped and look amazing! I finally look good in my clothes. No more self conscience-ness! I still wish I'd have gone a little bigger. I'm really borderline between a C and D. Closer toward a C though. They actually feel fairly real. Maybe a little harder and less jiggly than real ones. But darn good nonetheless. This site is so helpful though. All the kind words really help a girl through this! Thanks everybody for all the support and following my journey! Shout out to my Boobie Buddy! Woot Woot!!

Well i am officially 2 months out now. it actually feels like longer. feels like the girls have always been a part of my life!! I basically feel back to normal now. the numbness in the back of my right arm is mostly gone. My boobs dont hurt anymore. i can lift and reach without issue. my scars look much better. i will have to post photos soon. i tried on bras about two weeks ago. it didnt work out so well. i wanted a sweet push up bra for new years eve (im allowed to wear a real bra after 2 months) but the didnt fit very well. my boobs are still too hard to conform to a push up. But they are really starting to soften up. so hopefully soon i will bra shop! Woop woop! I also swimsuit shopped the other day!! It was so great!! I will post pics of that soon too! This surgery was SOOO WORTH IT!!! I could have maybe gone a little bigger though:-) i am sooo happy!!!
