WORTH IT$6,200
It has been a little over 3 weeks, almost 4, since my surgery. I still feel fantastic and couldn't be happier! I still have a little numbness in certain part of my breasts, mostly near my incisions, but it seems to be getting better. Also, my nipples are still very sensitive, and sometimes start to hurt after too much stimulation. I am hoping that starts to go away with time, but am very happy that I didn't completely lose sensation. I still haven't started wearing underwire bras; I was going to wait until my one month check up with my PS before doing that. I feel like I could wear them, just want to make sure. I cannot wait to see how much cleavage I have in a push-up! I am still very happy with my size, however, I feel like I could have gone a little bigger. I haven't been working out really hard yet like I'm used to, but plan on starting tomorrow. I'm sure then I will be more happy with my size, meaning I won't have to deal with a lot of movement in my upper area. I started to sleep more on my side recently, but still having some trouble with soreness if I do. Hopefully after a month or so that will go away. Can't believe I am finally wearing a "C" cup, and it was the best feeling wearing a bathing suit for the first time this past weekend, yayy!

I am now exactly 2 weeks post op and still feel great! I have no pain at all anymore, and am finally able to move my arms pretty well in all directions. Sometimes I still have some trouble using my "pec muscles" when I get up and down or move things; it doesn't hurt, just mostly feels weird. I still have not tried sleeping on my side; however, I feel like I will soon because I cannot stand sleeping on my back anymore. I was always the side/stomach sleeper. I am still currently wearing a supportive sports bra and chest strap, and hope to move into a regular bra within the next week or so once the girls have fully dropped, and the scars have healed a little bit more. I love how I fill out tops now, and it definitely makes me feel more confident. It's like they have always been a part of me. I love them so much and would have the surgery again any day! So worth it!

You look wonderful! You had an under the muscle implant? It seems like you recovered exceptionally well from it! Thanks for the updates, it really helps. I am looking to take the plunge so to speak in the next two months and this helps so much hearing others experiences.

Thank you! I did have my implants placed under the muscle; my PS told me this was the better way to go. My recovery was way more easier than I thought it would be; I'm usually not too good with pain, but it really wasn't that bad at all. Best of luck with your surgery if you decide to do it, and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask me! It's really the best decision I could have ever made :)

I was wondering do u lose sensation in ur nipples or on ur breast? And how bad is the scaring?
September 5, 2011
Uhm, there are certain spots on my breasts that are "numb" and don't have too much feeling, mostly by the scars though, which I've been told will hopefully come back with time. My nipples actually got more sensitive than they were before, but not too overbearing. The scarring is actually not bad at all! I continue to cover them with surgical tape when wearing bras so they don't rub directly on anything. They look like they are healing exceptionally well. I will probably start to rub Mederma scar therapy cream on them soon to help speed up the process. If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask!

Hi what kind of incision did u go with and why? I was thinking of geting the one under the breast.
September 5, 2011
I went with an incision under my breasts (in the creases). I didn't want them to be so noticeable, and it apparently has a less chance of losing nipple sensation, which was a concern for me. I still have nipple sensation, however, it is a little more sensitive than normal. I am very happy with the way the scars are healing, and you really can't ever see them!

6 days post op: Tomorrow will be one week since my BA. I can't believe it! It feels like it was just yesterday when I was wishing it was the day of. I am still so happy with my results and could not have asked for a better PS. Went and saw him yesterday, and he said everything looked great. Still a little swollen and riding high, so he gave me a chest strap to wear for a couple of weeks to help push my breasts down quicker. My pec muscles are still sore and it's still a pain to move my arms up and down, but it's getting better each day. I know by 2 weeks I will be 100%. Can't wait to start wearing all of my new clothes and get new bras!

Thank you! I've already been to Victoria's Secret and gotten sized, and picked out clothes that I want when the swellings all better :] Can't wait!

Hi!! I'm 5'8 about 170lbs (shooting for 160lbs for my surgery)... are you happy with your size?
August 24, 2011
I am pretty happy with my size. I just got sized a couple of days ago and I am officially a 36 C. I went from a 34 AA to that, so I don't have really any complaints. I chose a saline implant under the muscle, moderate profile (375/425 cc). What size are you thinking about going with? Your similar in height to me, so somewhere around there should be good depending on what size you want to end up with.
