35 Years Old with 60 Pound Weight Loss, No Kids.

It has been one year since my surgery and I love my new look! I am happy i did this and it was a great investment on my body for the future. Being in my mid-30s and having the breasts of an old woman made me very insecure. Now I can go bra-less and feel great and increase my wardrobe to wear backless styles, halter tops etc. Although they are bigger than I would like them to be, I feel they are proportional to my body. My atheistic is for a flatter chested look because I like the 80s.

One thing I am upset about is my scars. They are dark, large and thick. I am Black, white & native Caribbean. I have always had trouble with keloids and so I expected scars, but these are just so unappealing looking! My boyfriend has no problems with them, but I do. I used bio oil, merderma, shea butter and cocoa butter along with exfoliation. NOTHING worked. Now I have to shell out more money for laser treatments eventually. I feel cursed!

As far as Dr. Yager's treatments, I got what seemed like an unlimited number of post op appointments and free massages. I am happy with where the implants settled and My breast shape looks FANTASTIC under clothes.

I hope this advice helps people because I understand the trepidation people may have to go under the knife, but wearing a cute off shoulder top with no bra and dancing all night with absolutely no discomfort is priceless! I feel more sexy when I am intimate as well. I think I mentioned in my earlier reviews that I never took my bra off during sex because it was super uncomfortable. Now I have insecurities about my scars, but my bf is much happier with the way I look now. I will update this review again when I find some scar treatment that works!

So I am 30 days post now, and I have a full range of motion and have nearly no trouble sleeping. Sometimes laying on my stomach feels weird, but other thsn that, I'm fine. My 3 week post op was last week, and I got a complimentary breast massage. During the massage, I didn't feel much, but afterwards, I had quite a bit of discomfort! I was encouraged to do it weekly to encourage my implants to drop, but im dreading it and would need to carve out an hour of time during my workday to do it.

Lately, I have been a little depressed because of the size and shape of my breasts. I feel like they are too big, and at this point, I know whatever swelling that occurred must have resolved itself. I feel like I should have asked for a little reduction or something along with the implants. I know this sounds like nonsense, but the amount of breast tissue below the nippple looks like too much. I guess the shape will change and they will look better, but right now i feel a little freakish. I let me clarify the reason I got a small implant is to get some upper fullness. If I didnt get an implant and just the lift, they wouldn't look as full. I am very tired of wearing loose shirts at work to hide the fact that my breasts increased in size. Iam feeling very self conscious and that is contributing to my feeling down. I am still working on losing weight, so maybe my real breast tissue will go down and I'll have less of it and they won't look so big. My outcome that I wanted was perky and small, and right now I feel like they are huge. It could all be in my mind, I will just have to accept my new body.

My scars are looking good, see the new pic. I have only been using raw shea butter and nothing else. It works well for me and is only $5 for like a years supply in one of those tupperware containers they sell on the street in NYC. It worked amazingly on my scars when I had foot surgery a few years back.

I got my steristrips removed during my post op appointment. My stitches don't look as scary as I thought yhey wolud, but I am experiencing new pain! I had to skip the gym yesterday, and today, things are a little harder for me at work. I get intermittent sharp pain;, and I am just very aware that I have wounds on my breasts, unlike before when I was blissfully unaware. My picture isn't that good because no one was around to help me take it. My right breast looks enormous compared to the left, but its just the way it came out. I was approved to wear a normal bra, and to put shea Butter on my scars, but Bio-oil was forbidden until everything is closed.
