I have always had smaller breasts, but perky and full. I debated implants but never really felt that I needed them until after kids. I am the classic “after breastfeeding two babies” mom that needed some confidence restored. My breasts grew several sizes during pregnancy and breastfeeding, then after I was left with lack of volume. I asked my surgeon to give me what I had at my largest, and I think he chose the implants perfectly. I like the projection, roundness, and balance of 400cc on my frame. I originally was scared because I thought maybe a moderate profile or smaller implant would be better, but I have zero stretch marks and it filled out what I had well. I still have lots of healing to go, but I’m very happy and hope to continue to update. I love reading updates that go to a year and beyond!

Here are some pictures of my natural size postpartum before I lost the volume after breastfeeding per request.
There’s a minimum character count. I’ll try to find some before pregnancy photos that show my breasts but I always wore push-up bras and it was 8 years ago! :)

Per request, a “before kids” picture. Hard to find one without padding as I was usually wearing a padded bra or even bathing suit.
I was also a marathon runner and very slim. This is lying down but does give a visual to help see the changes I went through in breast size from pregnancy/weight gain.

Showing results at 4 weeks. Crazy to think that things will get even better with time!! Starting to feel soft and settled into a good position already. They don’t look as “high” as I see a lot of girls with my stats but I think because I had a similar size while breastfeeding made for good results.

Boobs seemed really far apart and hard to create cleavage until softening began to happen. Can’t wait until I can wear some cute bras. Still wearing sports bra almost 24/7.
Feeling good, don’t think about breast pain hardly at all except today I did have some tingling in right breast which is normal.

Really liking the results so far, looking natural. I didn’t want a really “fake” look. They are feeling soft. Incisions well hidden. My appointments are virtual since I’ve moved since my surgery, but I still feel well cared for and Acadia women’s health is very responsive.

Just so happy with my results, sometimes I’m in shock with how much better they make me feel about myself. They are feeling more and more natural. My new size is 34DD or 32DDD depending on the bra and tightness of the band. That was also a shock, but a happy one. Boob greed is real.

Loving 5 months (close to 6) post op! Still not wearing underwire bras, glad I didn’t go bigger. I was worried about the space between the breast but in my opinion it looks more natural and I can now push them together for cleavage easily.

I am still very happy with my results. I can see the difference in the settling now and the cleavage looks much more natural. They also feel nice to the touch, no rippling. I wanted to see my own progress after some time and I can tell you that waiting for the results makes all the difference. Thank you Dr. G!
