My whole life I’ve felt so thin up top. There were certain things I just couldn’t wear because my breast were so small. At 44 I finally was able to financially have a breast augmentation without financing. Updated on 7 Aug 2020: Thanks for all the positive feedback except for one hater. Lol! I just wanted to add a few additional pictures and it’s making me write a minimum of 200 words. I thought photos on clothing would be helpful for some of you thinking how do they look on clothing. Well it depends on your choice of cloths. Mine get totally hidden in most of my cloths. I have to make a conscious decision to choose clothing that shows them. Updated on 26 Aug 2020: Still loving them at 16 weeks. I’m so grateful that I found my surgeon. They are so much fun. I feel so confident and sexy! I feel like a woman! Lol! I’m trying to make 200 characters! No special characters Updated on 24 Sep 2020: Everything is going great. I’m still loving my new breast. The nipple sensitivity final went away! They are really softening up and feeling good! I’m really feeling confident. The other bad thing I can say about them is they make me want to buy bras, swimsuits, lingerie, etc. haha! Updated on 22 Nov 2020: It’s hard to believe it’s almost been 7 months.(December 1) They just continue to soften and look better and better. It surprises me how they feel so much a part of me. Occasionally I bump into them lol. But other than that they don’t feel heavy or foreign. I still love them. No regrets. I’m very active and my job is very physical. They don’t hinder me in any way. Updated on 28 Nov 2020: I’ve had a few request for a video showing movement. I’m right at 7 months. They say give it at least 1 year for complete “drop and fluff” so I’m a little over half way there. I’m over the moon with my results so far. Updated on 6 Dec 2020: I would just like to say that there is no need to be ugly to one another in reference to one’s personal preference with any type of plastic surgery. If someone’s results aren’t your cup of tea just KEEP SCROLLING! There is no need to use your time to curse or name call or try to criticize. This website is a designed for support and guidance for people that have had or that are considering having some type of procedure or surgery. Specifically speaking to the ladies who prefer smaller breast. That’s fine! That’s your preference. Some of us like BIG breast. That’s ok, too! Why are you badgering us that like big breast? We aren’t bombarding your post with our criticism. It’s ridiculous. Please stop! I’ve spoken with ladies who have removed their photos because of you! I refuse to. In fact your criticism makes me want to post more photos and updates. Updated on 17 Jan 2021: Just a quick update. 8 months post op. 650cc Mentor MemoryGel Xtra smooth round high profile under the muscle. I’m taking less pictures now so I guess the new is wearing off. That doesn’t mean I don’t love them more and more. All the aches and pains are gone. They feel like they are a part of me and I can’t imagine being without them. Updated on 7 Mar 2021: 10 months post op. Thought I would update again. All the weird feelings are gone. I’m able to sleep on side comfortably. I’m super happy that I made this journey. I love them and can’t imagine being without them. Even though I went my max they are easily hidden in conservative clothing. Most people I know are clueless unless I told them. Lol! Updated on 16 Jun 2021: I don’t think much has changed from my last review. I’m still loving them. I have zero regrets. I look so much more proportionate. Even though they look big naked they really get lost in my clothing. I just look normal now which was my goal. I have to make a conscious decision to wear something that accents them. I do occasionally when on date night or vacation with my husband but most of the time I dress pretty conservative. I’ll add both some nude pictures and some in my everyday clothing. I wear a uniform that totally hides them at work. Also threw in a few in pictures in summer dresses which I could never pull off before. Updated on 27 Jun 2021: I got a little alone time and tried on a few outfits out of my closet. Everything fits so much better. Unlike the popular belief of having to buy a whole new wardrobe almost everything still fits me. Of coarse I had to buy all new bras and a few of my smaller shirts are too tight but for the most part everything still fits. They also do not make me look heavier. A lot of women fear that. Oh yeah. No bra with any of these outfits! :-) Every woman deserves to have a nice set! Updated on 13 Jan 2022: I wasn’t planning on doing another update but I’ve gotten several requests for one so here goes! I absolutely love them! I’m so glad I was able and willing to do this for myself. I look and feel normal now! My clothing fits me so much better and I have that hour glass figure I’ve always wanted. I’ve had a great recovery with no complications. I’ll add a picture with my muscles flexed in this review because a lot of women are worried about animation deformity with implants placed under the muscle.
My breast Explantation and Lift with Dr. Forrest Wall was an incredible success. I decided to get rid of the implants as my breasts were getting droopy and too heavy for me to carry, causing me lots of back and shoulder pains. During my first consultation with Dr. Forrest Wall, he made sure to learn about my concerns and explain to me what my options were. Based on our conversation and his examination, he told me that the best lift for me would be the anchor incision. He always takes his time to answer all of his patients questions. I've noticed that he asks "What questions do you have?" As opposed to "Do you have any questions?" which for me shows that questions are really welcome. Dr. Wall is absolutely professional, respectful, reliable, and extremely confident yet humble at the same time. His staff follows the same standards: his receptionist, secretary, assistants, and nurse all do a wonderful job of making everything they can to help you have the best experience possible. Now, two months after my procedure, my breast are looking great! They are so firm and the lift looks and feels awesome. I'm taking care of the scars by using silicone tapes and silicone gels, and I couldn't be happier about the overall results.
I lost 40 pounds this year and my face and neck looked like my skin was melting. All the healthy eating and exercise in the world can't help a 64 year old woman with loose skin, so I scheduled an appointment with Dr. Forrest Wall of Shreveport, Louisiana. I had surgery one week ago and while I still have some swelling and bruising, the difference is amazing. Dr. Wall's staff are wonderful, making me feel like they all cared. And the doctor himself has a great bedside manner, is ultra confident and meticulous. The surgery began promptly at 7 a.m. and was done in 2 and a half hours. My blood pressure went up afterwards so I couldn't leave immediately but as soon as they got it back to normal, I was out of the hospital and feeling pretty good. Absolutely no pain. Never had to take any medication. Possibly the best thing of all is that Dr. Wall doesn't use those horrible compression bandages I have read so many complaints about. He said they are unnecessary, do not help with swelling and only make the patient uncomfortable. Whatever the case, I am thrilled not to be wearing one. He also does a fantastic job with the sutures, they are nice and small, cleverly tucked right against my ear and hairline. I can tell they are not going to be visible at all when the hair grows back. Yay! I slept well that night, sitting almost upright on the sofa with my head tilted back a bit. The next day, the swelling looked ghastly but I still felt fine. Mid afternoon, I got a little too frisky and found myself looking up at an EMT from the floor of my bathroom. I have no memory of passing out but there was no damage done except to my purse. I was taken to the hospital and subjected to an MRI, CAT scans and Ultrasounds. Dr. Wall was appalled and said it was normal for a patient my age to faint after surgery and they should have called him to get a professional opinion. I was home the next day and everything has been good since then. Healing nicely. I have taken pictures every day and will post them as soon as I can figure out how. It is amazing how much the swelling and bruising changes from day to day.
I had a tummy tuck in 07, implants last year and now to finish my journey, the dreaded thigh lift. I have been mentally preparing myself for the down time. I lift weights 4 days a week, teach boot camp 2 days a week and I am working on my yoga certification. It's hard being 114 lbs and leg press 245 lbs but still can't wear a pair of shorts for the saggy skin. I am hoping my recovery is as easy as my tummy tuck was. I will post before pics later. Anyone else having surgery around this time? Updated on 27 May 2015: Updated on 3 Jun 2015: Updated on 3 Jun 2015: Updated on 12 Jun 2015: I will post pics after I shower tomorrow. I am up walking, freshened up this morning. I don't have any drain tubes but I am cut over a foot on each side. My legs are tight and I am loving my results so far! Updated on 14 Jun 2015: I am doing great, haven't had a pain pill since 9:00 last night. I am very bloated!!! I am showering and between the recliner, bed and couch...days are LONG just laying around. I go to the Dr. tomorrow for my first post op appointment. I am cut a little over a foot on each side, my legs are tight and sore...compression garment is cutting me in the leg area, I am wearing my compression workout pants, they seem to work fine. Updated on 16 Jun 2015: Updated on 17 Jun 2015: Shorts were never an option before and compression shorts would have been OUT OF THE QUESTION! I am thrilled. Updated on 20 Jun 2015: I am doing great! No pain other than the annoying burning when I sit too long. My sterile strips are beginning to fall off. I will post a pic of the scar when they are all off. I do swell when I am on my feet for an extended amount of time...never noticed swelling with my tummy tuck....I am sure the 100 degree heat doesn't help any. I emailed my Dr. to see if I could start back doing light arm weights while sitting but haven't heard back. I'm going crazy not being able to do something but I don't want to push myself and damage my results. I am still eating 130 grams of protein a day and eating a good balanced diet at maintenance macros. I pray my healing continues like it is going and I don't have any set backs. I will post pics this weekend but there is no change from the last ones I posted. Really anxious to get the before pics from my Dr. Updated on 22 Jun 2015: Most of my sterile strips are off and there is no separation! What I have stressed over! I talked to Dr. today and I can take a tub bath, sit and do 8 lb. weights and get a spray tan. He said 2 more weeks before I could swim and start walking on treadmill. I was prepared for so much worse...I would have done this sooner but I was thinking I would be down for a full 6 weeks. I am working full time again and other than some late evening swelling...I forget I had surgery. I highly recommend dandelion root supplements for the swelling, it helps!!!! Updated on 22 Jun 2015: Scar Updated on 22 Jun 2015: Post op Updated on 29 Jun 2015: I am completely closed up...no separation in my incision anywhere...no pain....I don't feel like I have had surgery....itching to get back in the gym, going to see if I can go to the Dr this week to clear me. I was back in the gym 3 weeks after breast augmentation. I will post am updated pic of my legs this week. I have worn shorts everyday....my life has truly changed. Updated on 29 Jun 2015: Updated pics Updated on 29 Jun 2015: Pics Updated on 3 Jul 2015: I have had a lot of people ask about where my scar is, here is a pic of where my incisions are. You can't see them in a swimsuit. Updated on 6 Jul 2015: I can start back in the gym Thursday! Updated on 13 Jul 2015: I will be 6 weeks Thursday. I am teaching 2 boot camp classes a week, training 8 ladies and just started Body Beast. I think the rest from the gym did my body good.
I decided to get implants back in the beginning of May after a trip my husband and I took to Florida. I have always had a thin model like figure and desired to be curvier. I had my breast done on December of last year with absolutely no problems so I didn't think this would be much different. I was wrong. I wish I would have done more research before I made the decision to have the surgery. The first three days I couldn't get out of bed, It was the worst pain I had ever felt in my life. After the third day the pain did reside some so that I could tip toe to the bathroom by myself without assistance. Sitting down was way out of the question. This went on for almost two weeks. When my two week check up came along I was able to walk without noticeably limping but still couldn't sit down. Dr wall checked my incision and said the stitches had dissolved and everything looked good. He also said i was ok to drive but to take it easy and try to keep pressure off of the implants. I did start driving with a donut pillow which I must say is a must but I was still very uncomfortable and swollen. Well about a week after that I woke up to my pants being wet, honestly I thought maybe I had an accident because I was still numb and couldn't feel my rear. I was so worried about the pain from the implants their selves I never thought about my incision. Well after that I noticed a small amount of drainage coming from the site so I called Dr walls office and made an appointment for the following Monday since it happened on a Friday. Well the next day my incision started bleeding. I could see directly inside my body. The incision had busted open. I called the emergency line and told Dr Wall immediately. I don't think he really understood how serious it was until he seen me. He cleaned out the incision and applied thick stitches. I had no drains when the surgery was originally done, so I think that is what caused the wound to open. After that point I started seeing him on a weekly basis. I still had drainage even with the stitches. After two weeks of the heavy stitches he took them out and there was still an inch size opening. We tried letting it heal for a week or so more by itself before dr wall added more stitches. We left those in until they pretty much fell out. I still had drainage. Around the middle of July the drainage stopped. Two weeks after that he told me I was healed. I was relieved after the horror I had just been through. Well today August 4th the inch size incision started bleeding again. I called my surgeon and he will be seeing me tomorrow. I am going to talk to him about having them removed. Even after I was told I was healed I still was thinking of having the implants removed. I am still uncomfortable and I have pains where they attach at the top. When you touch the implant directly it's still sore. They look great when I have my clothes on but in some positions when I am nude they are very noticeable and un natural looking and very hard. Does anyone know about the recovery time for having them removed? Any feed back would be great. Updated on 29 Jun 2017: I came across my account when I was checking my old email account and thought I would post an update. All is good. It took about 6-8 months for my wound to heal from the surgery, and about a year for my life to go back to normal and to be completely pain free. Now you can not tell that I have had buttocks augmentation at all. I have a nice feminine arch to my backside, but nothing too dramatic or noticeable, which is what I wanted. My butt is still firm which is to be expected with the solid implants that were used. Overall I am happy with my results. ????
Dr. Wall was great at first - the consultation went wonderful. He asked me what my questions were and calmed my nerves and I was very comfortable with him. He was my 3rd consult and the one I decided to go with because he was the only doctor out of the 3 who offered me a circumareolar lift... Pre-op was very rushed. He was really only concerned with me trying implant sizes on again to make sure I picked the size I wanted.After surgery, I could feel immediately that my tummy tuck incision was too high but hoped that wasn't the case. At my 1 week follow up he could tell that something was bothering me and when I told him I felt my incision was too high, he promised me it wasn't that high and that he went really low and told me everything looked perfect and sent me on my way.By my 3 week appointment, all of my tape was off so I was able to see my breasts... they looked awful. The areolas looked like a preschooler drew them... he said don't worry about it, they'll round out... at my 6 week appointment, I expressed my concern again about my breasts not being like I had pictured them and he told me I was nitpicking - that really upsets me because for 14K, I should be happy.I also expressed my concern about my stomach and he told me it's a perfect "michaelangelo" stomach. Sent me on my merry way once again with a 1 year follow up to make sure my breasts are good to go. He thinks he did a great job. I feel botched. Looking back, there were clues that it was going to end this way... but I didn't see them.
Okay so like a lot of you I’ve been wanting breast implants ever since I first knew it was a thing. I was young at the time and still in school so it was something I knew I was nowhere near being able to afford. I’ve always liked big boobs and always had small ones. We all want what we don’t have, right? Well my dream of boobs became just that and I never really worked towards it since it seemed so far fetched. I’m now 25, about to be 26 and after realizing my dream could become reality two years ago I’ve been working my ass off to afford it. Well I’ve fluctuated weight probably about four times since I originally thought of implants and in the past couple years lost 65lbs so what breasts I did have now have deflated, well one side at least. They’re asymmetrical. I’ve had three consults and posted a bunch of photos on here. I’ve had multiple opinions on lift or no lift, type of lift, type of placement, what size, you name it and I’ve probably asked it. I overthink everything and second guess everything so this journey is going to be nerve racking. I think I’ve found my surgeon. He was honest and what he suggested and offered was more than what I originally wanted but I know it’s what I need. I’ve been told I needed a lift for the best result especially since my nipples are low set but the vertical scar down the breast doesn’t sit well with me. Without knowing my fear he suggested a circumareolar lift. Which actually helped in multiple ways because he’d add an implant, down size my nipples while also making them the same size, and giving me a small lift. I’m all for it and excited EXCEPT. I’m still so lost as far as size. At my first consult I choice a 550 cc implant. I want big, Ive always wanted big but I don’t want to cross that line into too big but I’m also not wanting to be like everyone else and regret not going bigger once it’s all said and done. At my last consult he wouldn’t tell me how many ccs I was trying on so that it wouldn’t mess with my head and I choice 650 cc! That sounds soo large but I tried on the sizer over and over and it looked so good. Even my mom said it made me look proportional and she’s not into large breasts. I looked up other women with a similar size but I never know how tall they are. Anyone out there get that big that has photos posted? Updated on 29 Jan 2019: My surgery is scheduled for February 14th, I’ll be receiving a donut lift with implants. At my consult I chose 650cc silicone implants. I’m still iffy about size but I’m pretty sure I’ll still choose 650cc. I’m wanting large implants but I’m also 5’ 10” so large on me looks different than large on another women. I’ll try to remember to keep this updated. Updated on 1 Feb 2019: I kept forgetting I was needing to go 100cc more on one side than the other so I ended up going with 560cc on my right and 650cc on my left. I asked every question under the sun. He let me know the risks of double bubble and bottoming out are greater with larger implants, I asked about my nipple piercings, and we discussed nipple sensitivity. I’m extremely indecisive so making a decision as far as size is a big milestone for me. I’m two weeks away, super anxious and ready for it to be here. I’m not so nervous yet but I know I will be once it’s closer.
So my son is almost 5 and I have finally decided to get a breast augmentation. I didn't know until my consultation that I was going to need a lift as well. So now I'm getting both. When I tried on the sizers I decided on 560cc natrelle Inspira full profile silicon... But now that I have done some research and seen some pictures of 560cc they look huge! But I also know everyone's #1 complaint is that they wish they went bigger! I don't wanna get smaller and wish I went bigger.... But I don't want to go bigger and wish I was smaller! I have another pre op appt this Thursday the 25th... Contemplating doing the 485cc... Gosh I just don't know! I'll update after Thursday's appointment! Updated on 23 Feb 2016: just so yall know, for some reason every time I comment or respond my I pad is posting my comment twice. So sorry in advance I don't know why it's doing this! Updated on 24 Feb 2016: So here is some 550cc worth of rice in a 34DD sports bra... Thoughts?? Updated on 29 Feb 2016: I cannot believe that tomorrow morning the girls will be enhanced!!! I have wanted this for so long that it's surreal that it's happening! I'll be sure to update tomorrow when I get home home and settled. My sweet fiancé went to the store and is going to cook for me this week. I can't wait to spend this week relaxing with him and the new enhancement ;) Updated on 1 Mar 2016: Oh my god. The ride home. Jesus help me. That was GOD AWFUL. This pain is so bad. My BACK hurts so bad. My sweet man has been taking great care of me. But good lord tomorrow is hopefully better! But on a positive note I love the girls!!!! I seems like they are pointing out to the side???im sure since it's the first day I should worry about it but of course I do lol Updated on 1 Mar 2016: So you know when you lay down and your boobs falls to the side? That's how I feel like mine are sitting. I know I just got them this morning but is that normal? Updated on 2 Mar 2016: Everyone says day 2 is better... But... It's just as bad! Wondering if it's bc I got a lift ANG the augmentation? I relocated to the couch this morning and it seems to help stay inclined more. I can't tell you how sweet my fiancé has been. I'm obsessed with my electric blanket so he even went and got an extension cord so I could use it on my fav spot in the couch. He even set his own alarm through the night to get me my meds. Feeling blessed. Not to mention the girls look GrEaT! Updated on 2 Mar 2016: Only day 2 but I'm loving it!! My hubby to be picked out this super cute like green and grey bra I just changed into! I love it! I was never into selfies before but now I can't help myself :) Updated on 3 Mar 2016: So I def feel better this morning. My fiancé was asleep so j tried to open my medicine bottle for the first time and OUCH!! But other then that today is better then yesterday! I'm so eager to try on shirt and diff bras but I can't do anything until tomorrow. My post op is Monday and it feels like forever! I get to shower tomorrow thank goodness! Anyone else having a prob going to the bathroom? I been taking a stool softener and miralax everyday since surgery. Hopefully it will happen today... I know TMI! lol and on a positive note we get out French bulldog puppy today! Yay!! Updated on 4 Mar 2016: Feeling better today! I get to shower today YAY! Still hurts to do certain things. Hurts the worst first thing in the morning. But last night we got our Frenchie puppy!! Life is good! Still eager to play dress up tho when I don't hurt as much ;) Updated on 5 Mar 2016: two days now without pain meds! Yay. Got this super soft cute bra at Walmart for $7 and they had TONS of colors!! Now that I know a large fits I'm going to get EVERY color! I'm hoping some of this side boob will settle down? I'm most sore on my sides even though my incision is around my areola... I go back to work Monday and I'm so nervous! Even though I finally went to the bathroom yesterday but still a little water bloated from surgery. All in all loving my look :) Updated on 5 Mar 2016: Here is some pics of my bruises! It's almost un bearable ;( my incisions are on the areola not underneath so why the bruising??? Updated on 6 Mar 2016: Ok so today I'm feeling MUCH better! I took a bath and shaved everything. But let me tell you... Shaving your arm pits is almost impossible until you can raise your arm all the way up. But I did the best I could. Here are some pics of the girls. Still tense and have tingling tense feelings but all in all I'm ready for them to drop!! Updated on 7 Mar 2016: So today was my first day back to work and it was a LONG day! Not only is all my stuff backed up a week from not being there, everything I do "hurts." Not unbearable but just an annoying constant ache. But I was so busy that I was able to ignore it. I also had my post op today (finally 7 days later!) and he says everything looks great! No need to massage or anything! Im cleared to wear any sports bra I want (NO under wire) and in a week I can return to my "normal activity" but I'm sure I'll still be too sore. But maybe not! :D something funny my PS told me was in the operating room he made a comment I had the thickest peck muscles he had ever seen, and then he said, she def in the military!! I just thought that was so funny. I guess that's the BEST confirmation ever that my workouts are paying off! Lol!! Updated on 9 Mar 2016: so on my way home last night my son and I got trapped with flood water in my car so we had to climb out the window and I had to carry my 40lb toddler through 2 ft deep water to where the cops were and as I was walking with him I fell stepping off a side walk that I obviously couldn't see in the water and I twisted my ankle, dropped my son in the cold water, he was soaked and I'm soaked, I lift him back up. Get in the police truck and they give me a ride home. I get home and THEN realize my boobs are HURTING! I'm still not to be lifting 10lb much less all of that! Even though I obviously didn't hesitate and did what I had to do, now that the dust is settled I feel like I have taken 2 steps back on recovery ;( ugh! At least we are all safe! Updated on 11 Mar 2016: Feeling great today! Right boob still a little more swollen then left but that should go away. I can lay on my left side now YAY. Getting a rental car today since my car decided to go for a swim Tuesday night! Praying they go ahead and total it so I can just go get a Tahoe and never worry about that again ;) feeling blessed that we are safe. Girls doing good! New sports bra And it's FRIDAY! Life is good! Updated on 21 Mar 2016: Hello Updated on 21 Mar 2016: Ok let's try this again! (Stupid app!!) hello ladies! Today is 3 weeks post op! I feel great but my right boob is still my problem child. I have this very strange sensation when I bend over and stand back up like there is some sort of fluid traveling up and down. I also have a sharp pain that occurs on my right side at times. My next appt isn't until April 14 (5 weeks post op) and so I'm assuming he will take my stitches out then...? Here are a few shots with a sports bra and without. Anyway overall still beyond happy with the girls and doing well :)
