Hi! So I have not had surgery yet so this is my pre-review to getting started on my journey. As I go along I'll add to my reviews!!
Starting out I am 5'4" 150lb currently a 34b or 36a. Receiving 650cc hp silicone under the muscle. I'm very petite and narrow-but wanted the big full breasts. Go big or go home and this was the largest my doctor recommended for my frame. I would honestly go bigger if I could!! My surgery is there 3rd of march and in so not even nervous. I've been wanting these since I was 18 and now I have one child and just ready to feel sexy for my husband even though he loves me just the way I am. I am bigger bottomed and natural and I just want to be proportionate- even at my smallest I still had hips/butt so time to get my breasts and have that full hour glass physique!! I'm so ready and reading all these reviews I am ready and know just about all what to expect. These reviews have been helpful and I just want to add my journey because I know all yours helped me!!!! Photo is of me currently before surgery.

I'm in pain. Lots of tightness and where my incision was. But it's tolerable. Feels like I did a real bad workout of my chest. Lots of numbing but I assume that's normal!! I had to have my husband help me up out of bed and I was able to use the restroom myself. It's easier then I thought. I'm not a patient person though and which this would go away! I just wanna see my boobs !!!

Oh my. I'm not there lucky one on pain tolerance. My incision site is burning and I'm so swollen on the side I can't put my arms all the way down and from sitting in my bed at a 45 degree angle my lower back is killing me with knots. When does this get better! Granted I'm only on day 2 but this totally sucks!!

I am still high, still swollen. It has no decreased whatsoever , but still tight, still heavy and miserable......ugh. I am getting more movement of my arms- but still can't brush or wash my hair myself. I also have developed a rash on my abdomen. It is not itchy and hurting.

Just adding another photo for my 8 day post. No new changes. Still extremely swollen, sore, not much use of my arms, and granted I'm only one week in but uh.... Can my swelling subside a little please?!

3 weeks post and not much changed. I feel like I should have done the surgery underneath the breast instead of my arm pits, I think it would have healed faster. And I forgot my scars don't tend to heal as quick so now when I even lift my arms slightly you see this massive pink scar- ugh!!! At least under my boob I could hide it! But, it is what it is and can't do anything about it now. I developed mondors cords under my arms, however reading on it it's normal and would go away in a few months, so for now my left arm is limited in my reach, but it's not painful by any means. I have noticed my breasts have dropped ever so slightly. Still very swollen but it has only been 3 weeks as of today!! Long process, still sleeping on my back propped because if I lay down and then get up my boobs feel extra heavy haha. I'm taking no pain meds anymore except maybe ibuprofen on occasion. My numbness is slowly coming back but one part of my arm where numbness meets not numbness if I move my arm a certain way I get this very bad burning sensation for a quick second. Hurts so bad but over last few days it's been less and less. I started my period 2 weeks early as well and my nipples are extremely sensitive! Patience is key and just a waiting game!

I don't see a difference until I put them aside by side with the 1st photo I took at 1 week. They are slowly dropping and changing! I can finally see a difference in them. No pain. My incisions under my arms are healing ok, I have one corner that just won't close and of course it's my arm I use the most. It will heal with time. I'm excited to continue this journey and I know I'm the beginning I had doubts because of pain and I'm so impatient but.....I'm getting used to it and time will tell!!

Well hit my 6 week mile Stone!! My breasts are still a little hard and have dropped but very little. I had large implants so it will take time. But I am already loving them. Sorta have boob greed but I'm really at my Max I can go and I know they will be wonderful once completely healed!! No pain except a little stiff in the morning. I am sleeping on my sides best I can. Not able to sleep on stomach yet. But all in all no issues, just now waiting on the drop and fluff! I'll update my review in a couple months when that happens!

Omg it's been 9 months and what a journey. My left breast just did not want to drop and I started to develop capsulor contractor. I did some treatments to try and break it up and it's helped. Doctor prescribed me some medicine to help as well. It's not fully soft like the rest even at 9 months however it's much softer then at my 6 months and every month gets a tad softer. I really love my breasts and honestly I have boob greed and want them bigger but I'll wait! This journey wasn't easy and I think I got the worse end of the stick compared to others who healed so quick but not everyone is the same. Every month it gets easier but I love how clothes fit and how much more proportional I am. I'll update at my year mark!
