Do you still feel like one side is still smaller than the other?

Yes and no. One is definitely more softer than the other. But their beginning to look equal.

Thank you so much! A lot of people disregard and put down surgeons who give the surgery for less than others and I think that is so wrong!!!!!!!!

Thank you so much for all the updates and pictures! I'm really wanting to get my breasts done and I'm looking for a great Dr to do it that won't cost me a ridiculous amount of money. I'm coming from out of state and reading all the great reviews about this Dr is really helping. Thank you so much. And by the way your breasts look amazing I can't wait to get mine done!!

How are you doing now? I was pretty set on a different doctor but have recently read some great reviews about your doctor and am trying to schedule a consultation with him. What can you tell me about the process and your experience? Do you have any advice? Are you local to Miami? Thank you again for sharing your story!

Things you didnt know before getting breast augmentation

1.
You will get bloated and not be able to poop. I couldnt for a week and a half. Laxatives and stool softeners didnt work for me. Maybe it will work for you!

2.
Getting put out really isnt as bad as you think. I was more terrified of getting put out then the surgery itself! its literally, 1-2-3- and your up with cleavage!

3.
The IV sucked. Yeah i hate needles!

4.
You will need straws to drink your drinks from! believe me

5.
Things like pulling your pants down to pee and wipe will be difficult and uncomfortable for days 2-3

6.
YOU WILL NEED HELP getting out of bed because you wont be able to put pressure on your arms (if you do will you be in pain)

7.
Drinks loads of water before and after surgery

8.
Arnica helped me to not bruise at all!!!!!! its natural!

9.
Frozen peas are your best friend.

10.
Flexing will hurt, omg yes it hurts.

11.
3 weeks out, one boob is higher and harder than the other, and the other boob is smaller and softer than the other. this sucks. you will worry. you will get paranoid. im always paranoid.

12.
Incision will be more sore than your breast itself (this is my personal experience and will vary). the Word, SORE not hurt. You may get scar tissue inside your incision that feels like a huge damn rock (that can be uncomfortable and soreeeeee). 3 weeks out i massage it, and hear mini pops and some parts are flattening.

13.
The surgery bra makes me feel secure- i love it, you may not.


let me think of more!

What clinic are you going to??? And what surgeon? I bought button down shirt and a jean jacket and shorts and capris. I didn't bother bringing any bras bc they give u one. Bring straws, arnica if u bought it, ice packs that u can pop with hand, some gauze, and basically that's all I brought with me. Ask hotel for extra pillows believe me it'll be your best friend!!!!! I was a36B before and am I believe a month and 1 week and was measured at 34D and it's still early in the recovery. I got saline one is 380 and the other is 420cc

Thank you! How do they feel now? Do they feel more natural and soft? Do you think they evened out in size my left is larger and wider than my right check out my profile!
User Avatar
May 8, 2014
Oh that's going to take time lady!!!! Mine were off and one was bigger than the other for 4 months and even now that I'm four months out one is much softer than the other. I will say that they feel natural and look natural. No one ever questions if their fake or anything. I wish I had gone bigger. I am a 34D now I was a 34B before.

I see from your 4 month post that this balanced out beautifully! I am three weeks right now and in the same boat! I'm freaking out!!!! You can read about it and see it on my most recent post. Please tell me if what you experienced at three weeks was similar? Thank you for your review!!! It really helped me and your results are absolutely perfect wish boobs! They are gorgeous!

OMG yes! for months i was freaking out. only now do i feel comfortable with them. i think we concentrate too much on it and look at it so much that we start looking for stuff that is wrong! one will be higher than the other or look off but eventually they will even out!
