I have to give 5 stars PLUS to Desert Hills Plastic Surgery in Las Vegas. Dr. Haley Brown and her staff are all amazingly skilled and friendly people. I have had nothing but a pleasantly smooth experience as a patient here, and I LOVE the results Dr. Brown and her team have helped me to achieve. She listened attentively and addressed all of the concerns that I had prior to undergoing breast implant removal. I had no issues with my 6 year old implants, however, I felt like they were not allowing me to feel like my true self, I really disliked feeling them in my body. Thanks to her experience with this particular procedure, she had many pictures and thoughts to share on the matter. I felt comfortable in her hands and am enjoying the successful recovery of now having a free body that is nothing more than just good 'ol me!!!!! In fact, I would say the removal result has now left me unexpectedly more pleased with my natural breasts vs my prior to implant breasts AND implanted breasts. Very Pleased :D
A little about me: I was 24 when I had my procedure done about a year ago now. I'm 5'4 was about 135lbs. I had liposuction on my lower & upper abdomen, lower back, and love handles. I work out at least 3-5x a week but I could never get rid of the stubborn fat in my mid section.. I wanted more of an hourglass shape. About my experience with Dr Brown: I had the best experience you could have. I had a few other consultations at other offices before choosing Dr. Brown as my surgeon. From the moment I walked into her office I felt comfortable. Her office staff is very professional and didn't make me feel awkward like I felt at the other offices I visited. They greet you with warm smiles and are very knowledgeable. First impressions are everything! I met with Dr. Brown and showed her my concerns and stubborn fat areas. She was very straight forward and I think her being a woman, made it easy for her to envision exactly what I wanted. She listened to what I had to say, never felt rushed, and she very confidently let me know exactly what she could do for me. She was very genuine which was comforting. She didn't leave any room for doubt.. I knew 5 minutes into our consult she was the right doctor for me. I couldn't be happier with my results. The actual procedure wasn't bad I remember feeling scared and then counting backwards from 10 and waking up and it was all done! Her nurse Althea was amazing as well! She was there from my consult all the way to my post op appointment. She made me feel very relaxed even when I was freaking out! lol. As far as the healing process... my skin scars pretty bad and they were pretty noticeable for awhile, like little mosquito bites.. but not bad enough that I was embarrassed to wear a swimsuit.. Had my procedure done in January, 3 months later I enjoyed spring break in March, majority spent in a swimsuit.. still felt very confident even with my scars. Now you could hardly notice them. Also I had pretty bad scar tissue but I was warned of all of this before my procedure. Now almost all of my scar tissue is gone.. Its almost like I never had the procedure. A year later I'm the happiest I could be with my results-- I'm 125lbs, have the curvy shape I've always wanted, clothes fit like a glove ! My tummy is flat, hardly any bit of love handles, and my back has that nice scoop, almost looks like I got my butt done too! Almost no scar tissue, minimal scarring. It's just an amazing feeling.. My only regret is that I didn't get it sooner! Thank you to everyone at Desert Hills Plastic surgery!! You changed my life!
First, thanks to all who have come before me. Like others, I have been behind-the-scenes reading your stories of inspiration. I, too, am ready to get out of the booby trap. I knew at some point I'm was going to need replacements, and I have decided to remove them rather than replace them. Knock on wood, my implants have been great! Got them done in 1999, under muscle through the nipple. They were filled with 380 to 420cc's of saline. Been so long I don't remember. Before BA, I was a saggy, small B, after nursing two kids. Wanted small C's, and with age my boobs, like my kids, have grown! I have opted to deflate first, before I decide on a lift. Deflate Day is July 21 (in office procedure). Then I will follow up with PS in four weeks to determine next steps (lift or au natural). Actual removal is scheduled for September 7. Cost will be $9000 for removal with lift. $3700 without lift. Cost for deflation is $1000, which will go toward the removal and/or lift. Updated on 21 Jul 2016: Today was Deflate Day! Wasn't really nervous, and procedure was quick and painless. Love Dr. Brown too! She is very caring, and made me feel comfortable, especially since I am not a needle fan. So here are pre- and post- deflate pics. Removed 390cc from left breast and 360 from the right. The old girls don't look too bad. :) I will test drive them for a month then decide on lift or no lift. Updated on 22 Jul 2016: So far, so good! I went about my usual daily activities, which may or may not have been a good thing. Started feeling sore at the 24 hour mark and took two Tylenol. Back in business now :) Here's a few pics. Updated on 28 Jul 2016: I'm loving the new/old me!! Called PS and opted for no lift. Feeling lighter, younger and happier! Right breast feels a bit sore where the bag is sitting post-deflate. The valve gives a good poke now and then. Left side doesn't feel sore but it's bruised a bit. I highly recommend the deflate option (saline implants) before explant. Here's pics: Updated on 7 Sep 2016: Got the bags removed this morning. It's been 7 hours since surgery and I feel great so far. Worst part of the explant - the IV. I have tiny veins so they had to poke me twice to get it work. No big deal, and par for the course with me. The staff at the surgical center was amazing! So attentive and on top of it all. We laughed a lot this morning! And Dr. Brown was just as amazing. Originally, she and I had discussed removing the bags via the old/original scars around my nipple. I asked this morning if she would go underneath the breast instead, as I didn't want to go thru numb nipples again. She agreed and that's the route we took. The best part of the day was listening to Dr. Brown talk about how much she loves her job as a surgeon. Her eyes just lit up as she spoke about her passion for her art. Gotta love a person who loves their job! At home resting with the hubby. My mom and dad stopped by and brought me soup and German chocolate pie from Marie Callender's. I'm a lucky lady. Here's a few pics modeling my drains and the nifty sleeveless jacket I picked up at Walmart this weekend. It has inside pockets for the drains, which are hanging as Christmas ornaments right now. On a scale from 1 to 10, I give today a 10+. Updated on 13 Sep 2016: OMG - no more drains. For me, those were the most inconvenient part of the procedure. I was not meant to be in the medical profession so anything to do with blood...hey that's just not me BUT I made! Very little fluid came out of my drains - less than 2 ML every 12 hours. Today they are gone and it's the first time I've seen the new/old itty bitty's! I'll take em! Really no pain at all from incisions. Very little bruising. And tomorrow I finally get to shower! I'll update pics again at one month. If you any questions, feel free to ask. And I highly recommend Dr. Brown if your looking for a ps in Las Vegas. Here's to freedom from the booby trap! Updated on 14 Sep 2016: Finally showered today and got a chance to really look at my itty bitty's. I noticed the indent in my right nipple is still there - and one of the reasons I first got implants. My sons nursed on that side more than the other. At 35 - I was devastated cause I thought I look deformed. Today at 52 - it's a Mommy Badge of Honor. Funny how your perspective changes along the road of life. Updated on 10 Oct 2016: As promised, here are some pics at the one month mark. I'm very pleased with the outcome. Only time they look a bit odd is when I lift my arms (I took a pic for you see). Also when I flex my pecs - my breasts contract pretty bad. I'm assuming that's from going in under the muscle when I had implants. Comments from hubby, friends and family have all been positive. I've been told I look thinner. I tend to agree. I was really feeling matronly as opposed to sexy with implants. Now I feel more like my old athletic self. Wishing all great success with your journey. I'll post again at the one-year mark. Feel free to leave comments if you have questions. Updated on 12 Oct 2016: Just want to thank Dr. Brown and her team for the amazing experience. Deciding to remove breast implants is a big decision, and the team at Desert Hills Plastic Surgery was caring, professional and understanding. I'm a little bummed my experience with them is over. I enjoyed their office very much.
Hello I'm 30yrs old, I stand 5'6" and I weigh 150lbs, my current bust size is 34B. I've wanted an breast augmentation since I was abt 17. I desire a full C or a Full D whichever looks great on my figure. Went to a consultation last week Dr told me i have thick breast tissue and any type of implant will look great on me. We started at 425cc mod plus but I wanted to go bigger, Dr said if I got bigger I would have to go to high profile because a bigger mod plus would be too wide for my chest. I tried 475cc & 500cc and I still want bigger. I dnt kno what to do at this point cus I dnt wanna go too too big. What amount of cc's would look big enough for me and my frame????? Updated on 12 Jun 2013: Hey ladies!!! Can't wait to join some of u on the other side, getting my monies together so I can be happy with myself. Hopefully I'll have my funds together by July! Can't wait! Updated on 17 Jun 2013: Set my date today, Yay Me! Pre Op appt is July 9th and my Operation is on July 12th!!! So happy. Updated on 22 Jun 2013: Ugh I'm so impatient.

Updated on 25 Jun 2013: Today I had my mammography done and all is well!!!! Eeeeek I'm so excited!!! Updated on 25 Jun 2013: It amazes me how so many women share my same thoughts and feelings abt wanting/getting this procedure done. Feels good to know I'm not the only one feeling unattractive, embarrassed, or just unhappy with small breasts... Thank u RealSelf and thank you to all you ladies on here for sharing your stories, I'm proud to be apart of this site. Updated on 27 Jun 2013: Today I go and have my blood work done! Yay this month is almost over and I'm that much closer to my surgery! I'm so excited and I just can't hide it! Lol Updated on 28 Jun 2013: Ok its weeks until I go for my BA, I'm not EXACTLY sure what size I want but in the beginning I was leaning towards 550cc's. I see that a lot of you girls are getting less cc's and your results look huge then their are some of you who have gone with 550cc or more and they don't look so big. Results vary from patient to patient. So now I'm just so anxious to get my pre op appt over so I can pick a size! Any advice from any of you ladies who are already on the other side? What did you all do to prepare yourselves for your surgery 2 weeks beforehand? I'd love to know. Updated on 2 Jul 2013: Abt this time next Tuesday I will be walking into the doors of Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center for my BA Pre Op appt. I can't wait its all becoming so real!!!

Updated on 12 Jul 2013: Cant keep any liquids down!!! So I'm in pain but can't take my meds because I keep vomiting!!! OMG! But the pain isn't too bad, its the tightening thats driving me crazy!! But I'm so happy I have bigger boobs! Updated on 13 Jul 2013: Hello ladies!! As u all know I've joined most of you in boobie land yesterday and let me tell you it is not at all bad! The pain is tolerable, I couldn't keep any liquids down yesterday so I couldn't take any meds, I just had to deal with the pain and it wasn't bad at all! The tightening was driving me crazy, not bad but uncomfortable... I only slept a few hrs before surgery I was so anxious and nervous I woke up around 2 or 3am and just watched television til around 5am then I started getting ready. We (my boyfriend & I) left at 6:30am, made it there abt 6:50am. I read and signed a few papers, then my nurse Shelly (so sweet) went over everything with me, weighed me, gave me a pregnancy test, I changed into a gown then she took my blood pressure, it was a lil high because of my nervousness and excitement but she said that was common/normal before surgery. She took my temperature and put my IV in, then I met nurse Patty (very sweet as well) we had a lil Q&A and they assured me that I'm in good hands and they'll take very good care of me, that made me feel better and eased my mind a bit. Around 8am the Anesthesiologist (my Dr's husband) Dr. Steve Brown, came in to talk to me, he's funny and awesome. Around 8:15am my surgeon Dr. Hayley Brown came in and she was so excited and happy for me, singing a 550 song she'd made up (the size implants I was getting) she's funny too and very beautiful. She explained everything then made her markings on me. The nurses wheeled me to the OR, I was put on the surgical table and given the anesthesia and it seemed like 5 mins later I was waking up in recovery! Everything went smoothly, everything went great thank you Jesus!! So its 7:49am right now I'm up early, I can shower today and put on a regular full coverage underwire bra and I'll definitely post pics ladies! Thanks for all your love and support and happy healing to those who've already had their surgery. And to those who haven't yet best wishes and good luck to you all. Updated on 13 Jul 2013: Updated on 13 Jul 2013: Updated on 13 Jul 2013: So far all is well, loving how they look so far. Chest is super tight right now but I'm not bothered I'll take a muscle relaxer soon. I've been enjoying my two days in boobie land, feels great not wearing a padded bra!! Everyone here at home loves them already and they aren't settled yet that's awesome! All good over here so far. Updated on 14 Jul 2013: Having a wonderful day in boobie land! I'm loving the fact I have boobs and I feel really sexy, I cant stop touching/looking at them!!! I'm so happy I cried a few times! Updated on 15 Jul 2013: Hello Ladies! Quick update, I'm having a burning sensation under both armpits, hurts like hell! Anyone else experience this too?? It only burns/hurt when I'm trying to get out of bed or when I'm trying to get comfortable on my pillows I have to use my elbows to do both if no one is around to help me. I've also been reaching back behind me to scratch back or adjust my pillows. Please tell me I haven't messed up anything inside my chest from moving in such ways!!!?? Updated on 15 Jul 2013: A little bruising underneath the left breast. Right breast no bruising. Both breasts have burning sensation under my armpits. I hope the burning sensation is normal. I'll call my Dr today. Updated on 15 Jul 2013: Looking good so far. #3DaysPostOp Updated on 15 Jul 2013: Posting my cute lil card. Updated on 16 Jul 2013: Post Op Day 4 today and my breasts have been extremely tight on and off all day. Call me weird but I kinda like the tight feeling lol. I'm icing them down right now with frozen peas, feels awesome!!! I love them so much and I've only had them 4 days. I'm constantly looking at them and touching them! I cant stop thanking God for his blessings, letting my dream come true. I am truly thankful for all he's blessed me with my whole life... its a beautiful feeling having bigger breasts I look and feel amazing! I think once they drop and fluff I'm going to be so BIG HEADED! Lol. Cant wait to buy some summer dresses from Soma Intimates they are very beautiful. Happy Healing to all recovering and good luck to all with upcoming surgeries! ?? Updated on 16 Jul 2013: Few pics I took today, just a small change in them, not too much but I cant help but to show them off. Lol Updated on 17 Jul 2013: Loving my boobs especially in the NUDE haha! Looking lovely by the day! They look small in clothing (regular T-shirts and sweaters) but that's just temporary lol, cause once they settle they're going to look AMAZING! Here's a few day 5 pics for ya! Updated on 17 Jul 2013: Post Op Day 5 and I havent had any tightness or burning sensations today.. I've been feeling really good all day, no pain. Tomorrow is my PostOp Appt cant wait to see Dr. Brown and thank her for her amazing work! 5 days in and I'm extremely satisfied with my boobs so I know it'll only get better as the days, weeks and months go by. I feel damn good abt myself now, I look in the mirror and cry tears of joy and happiness! Yes Lord, thank you!! Dr. Brown I appreciate you! Updated on 18 Jul 2013: Good morning ladies I'm here at Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center for my 1 week post op appt. Its 9am and I'm waiting for Dr. Brown to see me, I'm getting my stitches out this morning and she's going to see how well I'm doing... so I'll update you girls when I'm all done. Tty soon. Updated on 18 Jul 2013: Post Op appt went well. Myself, Dr. Brown and Miss Alethea (Surgical Tech) are loving my results so far! At my Pre Op appt last week they thought 550cc's would be too big for me but today they agreed that 550cc's are perfect, yay!! Dr. Drown and Alethea told me how fast and easy my surgery went and that the Keller Funnel was an excellent choice to use during surgery due to the large implants and my tight chest muscles. My stitches were removed and my incisions look good. I absolutely love Dr. Brown's and Alethea's company, they are sweet, loving and extremely caring I feel right at home with them. I knew from my 1st consultation they were the of people I'd like to do my surgery, I felt comfortable with the WHOLE staff (Nicole and Michelle awesome people as well). Most of you ladies went to see two or more Dr's for consultations but not me! Dr. Brown was the only Dr I consulted with and right away I chose her to be surgeon regardless of the price. Most have gone with the cheap Dr's but I didn't bother with them after meeting everyone at Desert Hills Plastic Surgery Center! Thank you all!! Updated on 18 Jul 2013: More pics of course! Updated on 18 Jul 2013: Stitches Removed Updated on 19 Jul 2013: Breasts are doing great, they're starting to feel heavy I love that! Muscle Spasms here and there but not too bad, burning sensations still under the armpits but I've pretty much gotten used to that lol. Other than that I'm doing great, I feel amazing and sexy! Posting before & after pics together. Updated on 19 Jul 2013: Wow totally different look from what I'm used to seeing in this shirt. Looks way more sexier on me now. Lol NO PADDED BRA UNDERNEATH!!! YAY Updated on 20 Jul 2013: Still feeling the tightening throughout the day not bad at all. Did a lot of walking yesterday that made my breasts hurt a tiny bit. They're feeling heavier and heavier daily but only without the support of a bra. Haven't had any problems with sleeping or using the bathroom since I've had my surgery so I'm grateful for that, been doing it all on my own without help from meds or anything love that. So I haven't had much bloating going on. Yay me! Abt to take a good nap then start work. Ttyl. Updated on 21 Jul 2013: 9 Days Post Op and I doing amazing. I see very little change in my boobs and I don't believe they've started dropping yet, still looks like they're in the same spot. The shape is changing and they're getting a little softer though as I mentioned before they're feeling heavier daily but I love that! Dr said it may take abt a month or longer for them to drop because my muscles are so tight. I start massaging in 2 weeks so I'm sure that'll help them drop faster. I love love love them but since they're so high up and tight they look very small in most of my clothing cant wait til that change!! But all and all I'm painless and I'm happy. THE NEGATIVE is I'm tired of sleeping slightly sitting up, I'm getting crooks in my neck and my back/side hurts sometimes. I want to go back to sleeping on my back, stomach and sides cant wait til I get the OK to do so I just want to be comfortable while sleeping!! Best Wishes and Happy Healing to all!! Updated on 21 Jul 2013: Cute lil sports bra I bought at Walmart Updated on 21 Jul 2013: More pics frm today PostOp Day 9 Updated on 22 Jul 2013: Day 10 and boobs are softer and have little movement, looking prettier and prettier daily. I just need these lovely girls to drop just a tiny bit for now lol. I'm so happy I finally got want I've wanted for so long I cant express that enough I swear!! Cant wait to see my final result. Yay I have boobies Thank you Dr. Brown & staff!! Updated on 23 Jul 2013: Few pics. 11 Days PostOp and they're looking great, still one bigger than the other. Should've went 25cc's more in my smaller breast but Dr Brown thought it'll be too big so she just put the same amount in both. She's amazing so I'm not mad at all, kinda sad though but I still look amazing!!! Love them!! Updated on 23 Jul 2013: Day 1 and Day 11 pics Updated on 24 Jul 2013: Extreme Tightening! Its Day 12 and I've been experiencing tightening since abt 6am, at 1st I thought it was just "morning boob" but here it is 5 almost 6 hrs later and still tight. Called my Dr's office and told Alethea (Surgercial Tech) what I'm experiencing, she asked me a few questions just to make sure its nothing horrible like hematoma and since my answers were 'no' to all of the questions she said what I'm experiencing sounds normal and to relax and take it easy, so I'm a lil at ease but still concerned. My breasts look and feel the same, just tight! I took 2 muscle relaxers, one at 6am then another at 10:30a and didn't help at all so that's what made me call the office. Its noon now so abt 2p I'll take another one and hope it works. Anyone else experience this and turn out just fine?? Updated on 24 Jul 2013: Boobs are tight as heck but they look normal so I'm not too much worried abt any problems at this point. I was assured the continuous tightening is normal so I'll accept that until I see or feel differently. Updated on 25 Jul 2013: Woke up this morning to extreme tightening x5 but now I'm back to normal so all day & night yesterday my boobs stayed tight and they got tighter this morning. I just showered and oiled my boobs down as I do every day but today I noticed that they've dropped a little bit, yay!! So I guess all that tightening yesterday was a good thing thank God for that!! Here's a pic. Updated on 25 Jul 2013: I can see the difference and I'm extremely happy lol. Updated on 26 Jul 2013: Here are my 14 Day PostOp pics. Not much has changed but my incisions look awesome and my breasts are starting to drop a little. Still having extreme tightening and uncomfortable sleeping but all in all I'm fine, doing great! Updated on 27 Jul 2013: 15 Days PostOp and they're softening up more and more daily. I know once I start massaging them they'll be even softer, faster! Can't wait til they're all squishy, jiggely and bouncy! Lol I know I'm going to love them once they're all natural looking and soft. Ahh it feels so damn good having this done, oh the anticipation is...wow! I love the fact that my incisions look amazing I thought I'd be grossed out by them once I got this procedure done but NOPE they look great! I won't post any pics today although I did take some, I take pics EVERY DAY to keep record of this exciting experience and my daily progressions. I've posted so many since day 1, I'll just wait til a big change comes along to post more pics. Updated on 28 Jul 2013: All I can say is my back hurts like hell from sleeping slightly sitting up! OMG I can't wait til Friday (My 3 Week Post Op) so I start back sleeping normally flat on my back and on my sides!! Man oh man I need a good nights rest!!!! 5 more days until I can get that though, ugh!! Updated on 30 Jul 2013: Feeling pretty good, 18 Days Post Op and they're still slowly dropping but looking lovely and feeling softer. I got the ok to massage yesterday so that's great, I've been getting down on the massaging since approved to do so lol. All is well here and I hope all of you are doing/healing well also!! Updated on 30 Jul 2013: Looking good, 18 days out. Updated on 2 Aug 2013: 21 days and they're doing/looking lovely! Dropping more and rounding out. Feels good to be back to my normal sleeping positions, I got pretty good rest last night! Yay me!! Still very sensitive to the touch and I still get tightening here and there but its very lil, not intense like before. Right breast is a tiny bit higher than the left, barely noticeable but I've decided to massage only the right breast all day today to see if it'll catch up to the left breast. Love them so much!! Good Luck & Happy Healing to all!!! Updated on 6 Aug 2013: 25 days since surgery, had an appt today and all is beautiful. Right breast is still a tad bit higher than the left so I was given a strap to help it drop. I have to wear it with a bra so it doesn't make the implant drop too far and sag/bottom out. Just as I expected I'm only to massage the right breast so it can catch up to the left, which I'd already been doing so I'm good. My left breast is looking lovely cant wait til the right look the same or just as good. Hope everyone is doing well!! Updated on 6 Aug 2013: Its been less than a few hrs since I've had the strap and I'm already done with it! I am not wearing this thing anymore, it has the side of my right breast hurting like crazy! Terrible pain!! OMG! Updated on 7 Aug 2013: Thank you to all the ladies who said postive, uplifting and encouraging words to me abt the strap. I did put it back on last night and it didn't hurt as much as it did the 1st time I wore it. I just put it on today, its 4:23pm so I'll wear it til bed time. Lets see how it goes! Updated on 9 Aug 2013: Feeling great, breasts are looking and feeling amazing by the day. I love them! Right breast is still slowly dropping but she looks beautiful! Lol. Updated on 9 Aug 2013: Some pics of the shirts I said I'd love to fill out. So far they look good in these shirts but I'm hoping the look bigger in them in the future once they D&F. No bra on in these shirts. Updated on 10 Aug 2013: Seems like every morn I wake up they look better and better! Love it!! Cant wait to see my final results in 6 mths or so. Updated on 11 Aug 2013: I really hope all my swelling has subsided because I like how they look and I sure hope the size they are now is all me and not swelling. I'm pretty sure the swelling is gone but I'm not 100% sure. Just a thought! Maybe I'm thinking too much right? Boob greed, huh?! Updated on 12 Aug 2013: Wow time is flying by, 1 month already! Updated on 12 Aug 2013: Updated on 13 Aug 2013: Loving my boobs. I'm so happy!! Updated on 13 Aug 2013: Had to post this one too Updated on 14 Aug 2013: Words cant express how I feel abt finally having boobs!! Cant wait for the day when I can shop for the most beautiful and sexy shirts, dresses and swimsuits!! Now that I have my boobs I can start getting really sexy. I have thick thighs and a big butt, but I could definitely tone up everything, especially my belly I have a small gut that needs to be toned and flattened not much work to do so it'll be easy I'm thinking it'll take abt 2-3 months to get my desired results. I'm 170 lbs now I should be back to 150 lbs or less when I'm done toning but I do not want to weigh any less than 140 lbs I love my curves!!! Its amazing how boobies make you feel and look so sexy!! So I have to tone my belly up so I can wear sexy tops! Nothing too tramp like though lol! I'm a lady. Lol Updated on 16 Aug 2013: Post Op Day 35, my breasts are looking and feeling amazing! I'm doing well, I've been back to my normal daily activities since Week 3, i.e. cleaning (high surface dusting/cleaning, sweeping, mopping, vacuuming), light exercising, dancing to my fav videos/songs, grocery shopping by myself (pushing a full cart of groceries felt different) and playing with my 4 yr old son. Still cant do any upper body exercises so no weight lifting, push-ups or sit-ups. Cant wait til I can do sit-ups!!! But anyway all is well here and I'm extremely happy, I think I'm coming down with a small case of Boob Greed but I'm trying not to judge too quickly. A lot of ppl tell me once they drop and fluff they'll be bigger so I'll wait till then to tell if they're not big enough. They're very beautiful though I love them! Best Wishes To You All!! Updated on 16 Aug 2013: The difference is amazing Updated on 17 Aug 2013: Pics of day 36. Updated on 19 Aug 2013: My confidence is sky high now! Feels damn good to wear regular bras and see projection in my T-shirts and its my boobs NOT padded bras and inserts! Looking at myself in bras and cute shirts and seeing beautiful cleveage instead of flatness has me jumping for joy!!! I love the new me and I am HAPPY!!! Updated on 23 Aug 2013: 42 Days!! Wow time is flying, and my boobs are looking beautiful with each passing day. I feel great but I still have the sensitivity in both breasts, its not so bad now. Right boob is gradually catching up to the left and that's great! Cant wait to see how they look at 2 mths post op, by then they should be even (I hope). Well best wishes to you all!!!
