Going great … 6 months out!
Here are some things that I've noticed.
Positives
*I love the fullness of my breasts. Awesome!
* I love being able to fill out a bra. I wear a 36C Victoria Secrets t-shirt bra. Big enough for me.
* The implants have really become more natural over time. It takes a while for them to settle … it's really the muscles that need to relax so that the shape of the implant shows. I was at first worried that I went too small, but now I'm super happy with the size. Definitely remain patient for a few months after your BA … you won't be able to see the real results for a while. Don't jump to any conclusions until they have had a chance to "fluff."
Some less positive things
* This isn't totally related to the BA but my biggest problem is that I managed to gain about 10 pounds since the surgery. In part, it was due to having to stop exercising, but on top of that, my mother passed away in September and then my daughter developed an eating disorder (which is now under control thankfully) so I have been eating more as she has had to eat more. I would love to get back down to my old size (but do it discretely because of my daughter) because I think the boobs would look better if I'm not sporting a stomach to go with them. Today I'm starting to track my food to get it under control again. Anyone else gain weight after their BA? How much the implants weigh? (Silicone 275cc)
* I'm back to being able to do any exercise that I want, although my pushups aren't as good as they used to be. I'm working back to the old ones by going on my knees so that I can do a full pushup.
* I do notice that when I flex my pecs, my boob moves in a way different than before. I don't think anyone would notice but it is something that I have felt. It's not a big deal.
* I am aware of not hugging people too tightly for fear that they will feel the implants. A few times, people have really given me a big bear hug and I was like - yikes, they totally feel my BA!!
Anyway - I wanted to check in. All is going well post-BA. So happy that I did it. Now to get the rest of me in shape again …
Hope everyone is doing well!
Almost 2 weeks post-op and doing well
As expected, the size difference is modest but it's big for me. I bought some soft cup bras and they were B-cups. I think I chose the right size although sometimes I wonder about the 300 ccs and what they would have looked like. I figure I could always revise 10 years down the road. The 275s give me curves that I didn't have before yet they are not over the top. Incisions are healing well although they can sting a bit if I turn over in bed too fast or too much. Sometimes I have the same sensation of fullness as I had when breast feeding. That's kind of a nice memory. The implants feel part of me now.
I have been worrying about push-ups and how they will feel once I get the go ahead - I know it won't be for a while.
My mother has commented that the BA gives me a nice silhouette now and my husband is super happy with the size. Even my 10 year old daughter told me that a shirt looks better on me now than before. I'm very pleased. I'll be ready to go back to teaching in September and I doubt anyone will be super suspicious although they will notice something is different.
BA surgery complete! 275cc silicone under the muscle, mod plus
Provider Review
Dr. Price is super knowledgeable, incredibly experienced and very kind. He listened to what I wanted and did not push anything. I did not want to go too big - wanted a natural look that would allow me to exercise etc. and not be too noticeable. I opted for 275 cc silicone under the muscle. (If I had wanted to go bigger, he would have accommodated me.) The office was able to fit me into his schedule very quickly. I called on a Wednesday, went in for a consultation on Thursday, signed the papers on Friday and had my surgery on Monday. (I had already had a mammogram and a full physical before this, so I was ready to go.) I felt that I was in excellent, experienced hands. His staff was very helpful and answered all my questions. Their surgical facility was pleasant and very different from the feel of a hospital. I came to Dr. Price because a friend had also had a successful augmentation with him. They also had a special "Augs in August" which discounted the usual price of an augmentation from $7,000 to $6,500. The office supplies bras for the first month. PS One important note - I had visited a PS prior to Dr. Price who had given me parameters for the augmentation for my frame and desired outcome (200-300cc max.) I really did appreciate having that kind of guidance and used the first PS's assessment when I went to Dr. Price to guide my own choice. I think that I benefitted from the first PS's guidance and might have gone bigger with Dr. Price than I did had I not done the first assessment. The reason I ended up choosing Dr. Price is that he has more surgical experience than the first PS, was able to fit me into his schedule promptly, and was $400 less expensive. I have seen many examples where women have gone too big and they have had problems afterward. I really liked that the first PS was willing to give me his professional sense of what would look good on my frame.
