BA March 2018,300cc hp, mp, mentor textured sub muscular.Mum of 4 and 44 yrs.50kg, 5'2.At 8 mths my breasts feel soft to touch on the front where a portion of breast tissue is, but underneath are numb and hard I have noticeable rippling on the inside and outside of the breast.Perfect symmetry, but when I raise my arms they look round and fake, when I flex my chest the muscles pull the breasts outwards.I have good skin laxity and do not have any stretch marks.Are they ever going to feel natural?
