Really good so far. His bedside manner is great, he's kind and gentle. The staff are sweet as well. He got me in in less than a week after my first consult for surgery. I was panicking and he was gracious enough to fit me in the day before so I could as questions, even after being late when he was supposed to leave (I'm an EMT, there was a wreck in my way in, couldn't just not help). Day of surgery he made a bunch of marks, reminded me of an artist, very methodical and careful. Because I really had no control over what I was getting due to the shape and tissue amount of my boobs, I'd have to trust he knew what would look right. I will say he pretty much nailed it, I'm not too big, not too small. I'm only 5'3 and my chest is narrow. Looks good, I can't wait to see what they look like 6 months down the road.

Tons of pain today. Doctor met with me and said they are healing really well and is impressed with what a good start they are off to. I will meet with him next week to check out healing again. My left breast looks different than the right, bigger and nipple is pointing out more. Hopefully that changes. I'm wondering if I should have gone bigger. I hope I'm happy with them, I'm very particular, especially with what I think a womans breast should look like. Patience I keep telling myself.

After seeing pictures standing up I think I like them a bit better. I have to accept my breasts will change and swelling will go down and trust the process. Even my belly is super bloated and uncomfortable.

Looking a little better today, a little bit of bruising, pain is a little less. Wishing I went a little bigger, maybe with the drop and fluff it will look more full because mine are sitting really high right now. I fit into my old padded c bra so I'm really hoping it doesn't go down in size, I would be really disappointed. Was hoping for a small d and a little bit more cleavage, but I have to appreciate that they do look natural and well shaped. Guess sometimes you don't really know what you want till you actually have it done. Stomach is still super bloated, wondering when this will subside...

Forgot to post the before pictures. My breasts have always been shaped like this since a teenager. Obviously breastfeeding 4 children didn't help with volume, thus leaving me with sad looking breasts.

Last night I ran a low grade fever. My belly and breasts were hot and I felt like I was getting a cold. My breasts felt so tight, like they were going to explode. I was worried I was getting worse but decided to sleep it off. This morning I decided to take some tramadol to help my breasts relax and I really think it helped. Left breast seems like it is getting more even with the right, but is still fuller. I bought a comfier bra to wear sometimes which helps with the pain. I'm starting to lose some of the bloat in my tummy finally... I can't wait till I'm looking better

The scarring looks pretty good so far. I'm confident the healing will go well. I'm hoping for more side boob and cleavage, which I think may happen as they drop. It helped to pull up the breast tissue over the implant to visualize what they will eventually fill out and look like.

My favorite sports bra looks amazing now. I took the underwire out so it doesn't cause issues, but it still looks great. My breasts seem like they are dropping little each day. Not sure if that's a good thing or will mean they will be really low later. Sleeping is still uncomfortable, driving is hard, but pain is manageable.

Feeling finally came back on the left side of my chest, now if I even brush my finger across it feels like a sunburn, but that's too be expected when the nerves start working again. Right breast is feeling pretty good, just feels like pre pregnancy soreness. Finally had a good bowel movement today after eating an entire box of cereal lol, but hey, mission accomplished! I'll be glad to be off antibiotics tomorrow, they really messed up my stomach. Have a follow up appointment with ps tomorrow, will update on how healing is going, which I am guessing will be good.

Looks the same as last time, however my appointment yesterday went well. Dr. Said im healing really fast and I will be cleared pretty quickly. I'm allowed to shower now which is nice. He removed most of the tape and recommended I not put anything on the incisions yet. It's glued and stitched right now, so that should hold up nicely.

I'm really pleased with how well my incisions are healing. Every day the pain gets less and less and I can almost sleep laying down. I decided to wear an underwire today as it isn't bothering my incision at all and strangely feels more comfortable than the regular bras. I'm excited my shirts and bras are filling out nicely, I can't wait till they fully drop and fluff, they will look amazing im sure!

Going through boob blues. I keep seeing all these wonderful pictures of women with big round beautiful Victoria's secret breasts. I look at mine and wonder why mine aren't full with lush cleavage. I heard this is normal to feel sad, regret and out of sorts. I hope it passes. Added to that, there's a crease under my left breast, I really hope that doesn't get worse. Today I saw the chiropractor who said the lump near my sternum was in fact the head of my rib sticking out. He says due to some sort of inflammation in the cartilage, it is causing the rib to be pushed forward. It hurts like the Dickens, but at least he got my back feeling right again. Hopefully this resolves soon.

Gosh, the boobie blues are real. Today I feel okay though. I have been struggling with being happy with my breasts due to one being smaller than the other, not as full as I'd like and nipples being a little low. Haven't really found a bra I like that makes my boobs look amazing, I think part of that is my armpit fat and back fat is spilling out. I wish I would have gotten them liposuctioned or something. But today, I like how my boobs look braless in shirts. A positive as well is my sternum- is healing as well as my nipples look almost brand new.

I went bra shopping and tried on some costumes I was creating. I bought a new corset that looks amazing with my new boobs, so pretty happy about that. Have an angry scab on my incision, but some neosporin should fix that, otherwise healing is going well. Right breast still smaller and so is nipple. Not sure if I will get it fixed. We will see what they look like in a year.

I did some before and Afters of drop and fluff and wow, I can't believe how much mine have changed! Some days I love them, some days I struggle, but the before and after helps a lot. Finally feeling more back to normal, just some nerve pain and one stubborn incision spot, but looks good otherwise!

Some days I love them, some days not so much. Halloween was great for showing them off, I had a blast. There's a spot under my left boob that doesn't seem to want to heal, I'll talk with doctor tomorrow about it. So far I'm wearing 32dd to 32ddd. Wondering if that will grow or shrink as the boobs change. I'm not sure I want them to change unless they are going to get bigger. Really feeling I should have gone 400cc.

I'm losing some weight, I hope I don't lose any breast size. I now can feel the ripples of my breast implant around the bottom and sides, I wonder if that's normal. Still feeling I should have gone bigger but as I lose weight it may make them look bigger, so I won't say anything yet.

Put nipple piercings back in. I had them done 15 years ago so they stayed open nicely. Boobs are really uneven in a few photos, right is smaller, thinking of talking to doctor about fixing it. Hopefully he won't charge me for a whole new one. The right was originally smaller and I feel it should have had more CC's.

My nipples stretched out quite a bit and I'm sagging badly. Dr agreed to a revision. Pain is constant in my left chest, has been there since day one, I think something is wrong with the muscle. I have hypertrophic scarring and scarring from my wound that didn't heal. My left breast sags to the side when laying down and the right is smaller. Overall, this didn't turn out like I thought it would. Hoping a revision will fix these things.
