I was a Perky C cup before my child. I wanted to regain fullness and go as big as I could, while maintaining a more natural look. I don't want to look like a porn star, but I do want tig ole bitties. Nothing wrong with that!!
I went to Moriah Moffitt because she was recommended by a friend who went for a much fuller look than me, but she looks amazing!!!!

I’m not the person who knows what ccs I would want, or the best type of incision to use.. I’m not a doctor. I never tried on ccs in Dr Moffitt’s office and she didn’t talk to me like that. We talked about what I wanted to look like (she did ask for pictures), what things were important to me (softness, movement, and proportions for me), and my overall expectations. I could tell from talking to her that she had plenty of Experience and confidence in her work. From there we did measurements and I showed up on surgery day. Unsure of exactly what ccs, though she did share the implant type/brand, and her general operating style. During my follow up she did tell me she tried one size, then another bc she remembered some of my preferences during surgery. I could not have been happier with my experience. I had my consult on a Wednesday and called back Thursday to schedule my surgery. Everything was so stress free and my girls look amazing!!!! Just like my friend’s!!

Still in the bandages. My incisions didn’t leak or anything, and I don’t workout. I was pleasantly surprised they were not more square at the top, though that is completely normal

This is day 3 after removing the bandages

I’m wearing a 34D sports bra and it fits but lifts a little at the bottom. The top is still very tight and swollen but the bottom and sides are already starting to soften up!! I’m shocked at how soft the implants are. I’m left handed and my left boob is more tender than the right. I don’t workout, but you can tell I’m a lefty bc my right boob is dropping faster than my left. I also find myself icing my left more. Still, I can tell they are going to look fantastic!!! And I’m excited to see them dropping already!! I started my massages and compression band on Wednesday after I got the okay from my doctor. I will start and share my scar treatments as well.

Nothing really changed this week in terms of appearance. They are getting softer on the sides and bottom. Top is still tight, sports bra is still annoying :) doing my massages multiple times a day and I do feel a difference, but you can’t see the difference. I’ll post my next update when there’s something to update on. Recovery is going great! Even with a less than 2 yr old at home.

Dropping!!! Looks weird in the pictures bc the bottoms are dropping faster. The top is relaxing as well, just not as fast as the bottom. They are very soft and the right one has a little jiggle now. They look great in real life. I’m having so much fun putting on all my old clothes, and having them feel new My back is dead to me, and I want to order a new one off Amazon, but I’ve settled for a massage pillow and moving back to our couch, since it’s more firm.

I look the very best I have ever looked in my life!!! My 29th birthday is next month and I can’t wait to get cute! I did have a complication the night I posted my 2 week photo. My kid head butted me in the right boob and two days later it swelled up, tightened up, and doubled in size in just an hour!!! I met my surgeon at the surgery’s center the very next morning bc she thought she’d have to open It up and drain it. She told me if she did it would take at least 6 months to heal. It was more painful than coming out of surgery and I had to wrap them back in the ace bandage for a week, but the swelling and fluid did go down, thank god. BE CAREFUL WITH YOUR GIRLS!!!! I was so worried they would have to be removed, but I made it out with both :) as a result my right boob is about two weeks behind the left, but that’s better than 6 months. And it still looks good. You’ll notice it’s a big higher than the left, and it’s not as soft yet. I’ll most likely be lopsided for a few more weeks while the rest of the swelling goes down. It doesn’t hurt anymore, and still looks great in low cut tops, so it’s not holding me back lol My left one looks fantastic though!! Even with the complications I’d do it again Hahahahaha

Better late than never!
So seriously at day 14 just one day after my last photos, my right boob spasmed, swelled, and I died a bit! I have the best surgeon and team ever as they were so responsive. It was crazy. One minute I was sitting at home on the couch on my laptop and everything was fine. Then I felt my right boob hurting, but not too bad. Within an hour it was really hurting and I was cooking dinner. I looked down and these pictures are what a saw. It got more swollen and sooooo much more painful from there. I literally cried all night and met my surgeon at the surgery center the next morning in case she had to do emergency surgery. The swelling had gone down a bit in the morning in the pain was tolerable and I really didn’t want her to have to open it up and drain it so she thought that it would be OK for me to wrap it and ride out the pain. I wrapped it with the ace bandage for the next week. The surgeon informed me at that time that whether she opened it up or not it could take 4 to 6 months for my right boob to settle back down. And of course I have to be really aggressive with the massages and with my band to make sure that I don’t have any complications. By the time it was over my right boob was high if not higher than at the time of surgery and it was hard it was hard as a rock and it hurt and it was swollen and it was like being 100% back to square one. Right in the middle of my right boob toward the bottom closest to my body it felt like maybe a muscle ripped or tour or something like some thing. It felt painful and very wrong and it definitely felt like a sports injury that would take time to heal.

So this was about two weeks after the boob explosion incident. At this point the surgeon told me not to do any massages or anything other than compression so I had been wearing my ace bandage for two weeks and this was actually me sending the surgeon a photo so that she could assess.

August 22 I’ll be 12 weeks postop so I figure this is close enough. I’ve seen a lot of changes really in just the last two weeks!! both boobs have started to really drop and I’m finally seeing some progress. My right one is still has a ways to go but it’s soft!!! I’m doing my massages multiple times a day I’m doing my compression band, and making sure that I don’t see any capsular contracture in there. I’m making sure that I’m moving the implant around, and like I said it’s definitely getting softer. before this week I’ve been having to wear a push-up bra and push the left one up as much as possible while not touching the right. I’ve attached some pictures so you can see, that’s finally changed!!! I can just put on my bra now and they are even enough for me to wear cute clothes and that is way more than I could do just two weeks ago. In the picture with the bra were there pushed him pretty even you can see the bottom of my right boob where it exploded two months ago it’s still healing the muscle there is still very tight I can tell that it’s my muscle that is tight not the implant. The implant is still movable it’s still around and soft and my muscle is starting to soften up. Also I’m not in any pain none of this is painful.... and I say all of this because I’ve been doing a lot of research to make sure I don’t have any contracture and pain is one of the big things with that, and also not being able to move your implant around and I’m able to do all of those things so I’m confident that I just need more time for my muscle to heal up and relax on out. I’m up and down with my emotions, but I do see improvement and I have a great surgeon who’s made me feel better every step of the way. Even with COVID she’s added appointments for me to see her and track my progress! I’ll be back with another update I swear!

And for clarity I did have a hematoma and I did NOT have it drained. I’m not sure what caused it, but it can be a precursor to contracture so that’s why we took so many steps to make sure we are healing it properly. Sorry about the dates!
