No Kids, Petite, 105 lbs, Mentor Silicone Mod+ 275ccs, 32AA to 32D - Alpharetta, GA

Almost a year and a half later and my implants continue to look/feel softer every day. For those of you who are in a rush for your implants to look/feel natural, note that it is a long process. Even though my implants have "dropped", my muscles and nerves are still adjusting. From time to time, I get numbness on the bottom half of my breasts but I was told it's perfectly normal even at this stage. I still massage my breasts once a day as directed by my doctor and stopped using my scar lightening cream.

I spent this weekend at the beach with family/friends and nobody suspected that I had a BA (I did keep it a secret for the first year). Most people commented on how perky and perfect my boobs looked but they thought my bathing suits were creating the illusion LOL. When I told them my "little secret" they were shocked. It's so funny how people assume if you have breast implants they will look "hard", "fake", "like tennis balls", or "like gigantic balloons". So glad I did my research and found a doctor that knows how to create natural results!!

I must admit that I have experienced boob greed a few times since my surgery. After the swelling went down and my implants finally settled into place, the difference in size became more noticeable. Sometimes I find myself staring at my breasts in the mirror wishing I went a little bigger but don't think I could go through surgery anytime soon. At the end of the day I'm just glad I'm no longer flat in the chest area :)

I'm back at training hard and lifting heavy weights again. I've completely stopped training chest directly but all upper body exercises still work the chest as the muscles are all connected. It's still a strange feeling when my chest muscles flex. The constricting of the muscles on the implant is still an awkward feeling. But other than it feeling awkward, I haven't had any pain and I'm able to push myself far enough to start seeing results again :)

I saw my doctor 12 months post-op in lieu of my 6 month post-op appointment because I was too busy to take time off to travel. Everything went great during my appointment and I was given some bleaching cream to help with the pigmentation of my scars. I'm to use it at night only for 8 weeks. Dr Bauer said that my folds probably dropped lower than they should have due to the level of activity I engaged in post-op. I still don't know if I really believe that because I felt like I was more cautious than most people, even up to 6 months after my surgery. Good news is that it's not a big deal but if I want to correct it, I will have to undergo surgery again. He also recommended I try BBL treatments if the bleaching cream doesn't work. I was also told to keep massaging my breasts and refrain from doing any chest exercises indefinitely.
