I have been trolling RealSelf for a looong time. I feel compelled to contribute, and excited that I'm actually on the other side! My journey started after a big weight loss when I was a teenager. I was not heavy as a young child, but puberty was not kind to me, to say the least. I gained weight seemingly overnight, reaching about 180 pounds and a DD at my heaviest. Thankfully, and probably partly because I was still young, the weight seemed to come off as easy as it was put

I have always know i would get breast implants since puberty. I never seemed to develop breasts and felt i looked out of proportion in clothes. I struggled with diet and exercise to stay extremely thin to keep my hips inline with my small breasts. As soon as I was able I made a consultation with a Dr that I had heard was amazing with anatomicals since the older Drs dont seem to like change. I had researched for months on the visual differences of round and anatomical and there

I've looked into implants for a number of years since I'm tall and have a not petite frame but was a 36 (small) B and curvy hips. I'm 5'9 and around 160 lbs. I wanted bigger size but didn't want it to look for obvious particularly in clothing for professional reasons. As a result, I ended up going with a teardrop (anatomical) silicone implant. I tried a range of sizes that were round and based on my selection the surgeon picked an implant that correlates with something between

Hi All! I'm about 3 weeks before my surgery and getting pretty anxious. I have been so thankful to use all the past experiences from the other women out there to help guide my decision. I've decided to go with 397cc anatomical gummy bear implants (under the muscle). I am 5'6 and currently wear about an A. I'm looking for a very natural look but want to look great in a bikini or tight top (something that has always made me self conscious before.) Anyone else go with the anatomical

I began toying with the idea of breast implants in 2014, before my second child was born. After my second child was born, I lost about 35 pounds, and I am about 15 pounds away from my goal weight of 160. I am a larger woman, with a lot of muscle tone. I exercise quite a bit and as a reward for my efforts I am getting a breast augmentation. A few months ago I noticed that despite my increasing weight loss, I am still unhappy looking in the mirror. Everything is firm, (butt,

I just walked out of surgery this afternoon so my review is basically just to say that HAPPY is an understatement that I choose Dr. V. I had 'shopped ' half if not all of Manhattan surgeons and kne the within the first ten minutes of ketch Dr. V that he would be the one ( sure sounds like a love story????????????). Anywa the patience and thorough manner in which he answered my questions got to me to book before walking out of the door. Then came anxiety that comes with surgery

Hey folks! I've been reading reviews on here for several months and have really benefitted from all the stories and insights. So much so, that I though I'd share my own! So while I'm 5 days post op now I'll start with what I started with... Which wasn't bad but it wasn't really proportional. Results pending! Pre-op: 34b Post-op:??

I haven't had my surgery yet, it's in less than 2 weeks and I'm very excited and also nervous. This journey started shortly after giving birth to my 1st child last September, a little over a year ago. Finally, around April I decided to book a consultation appointment with Dr. Vendemia. I chose him because of his rapid recovery method. I wanted to return to work as quickly as possible. I wanted very little down time and as little pain and discomfort as possible. Once I met
