Hey ladies, sorry I have been MIA lately! We all have a way of getting caught up with our lives and not paying attention to the small successes and progress we make after a BA. I am happy to report that my breasts are softening and feeling more like my own. I feel like the "new me" is the "me" I was always meant to be! So crazy. Anyways, as a reminder, here are my stats:
5'4", 135 pounds
34 B Tuberous Breasts before
450/475 cc Allergan Natrelle High Profile Silicone Implants
No breast lift done, dual plane approach through IMF (breast crease)
32DDD now
Back to my results so far. My right breast was smaller before and a larger implant (475cc) was placed below the muscle. My right breast is a champ! At first I had zero lower pole, Dr. Weiler said that the weight of the implant would stretch my lower pole. I'm happy to say that is happening! It's like Christmas when I see the lower pole stretching and underboob forming. Sadly, the left breast is still pretty funky looking and the lower pole hasn't stretched. I have faith that my left sister will, it will just take time.
Pain is almost completely gone, every now and then I will experience some discomfort. Scars are starting to soften, I have continued with using SkinMedica once a day (or when I remember) as a scar regimen.
Hopefully I have remembered everything, good luck to all entering this journey and happy boobs to all recovering! XOXO!

Wow! The before and after pictures are seriously awesome and helpful. You look really stupendous! I'm a little jealous of your new breasts being closer together than mine (CLEAVAGE!). I tell you what, every time I think I'm making NO progress, those pictures I took say otherwise. Yay you! Looking great!

Dancing, I guess I got cleavage because I have such a small BWD (12.5)? Because this cleavage thing is so new! Lol. When I see your breasts I LOVE the upper pole slope that you're achieving so early post op! It's so crazy how we heal differently and end up getting the best of one world and the worst of another. I think we'll be laughing at ourselves a year from now when we're recovery pros. We'll then be encouraging the newbies on here to be patient. The progress pictures have helped me so much! ESPECIALLY when I look at my before boobs, I get perspective. They looked so deformed before that there's no way I can expect perfection now.

Look at how beautiful they are!!! You are going to have some amazing cleavage girl. I can already see how they're starting to drop down. Keep posting updates

April 7, 2016
Progress is good on my side!and your is looking really well too,im looking forward to compare pics aswell :)your incisions look great!!
April 7, 2016
Yes I am loving your progress! When I follow your updates I get so excited because I can't wait for mine to look like yours - so soft looking and amazing, already! I'm super happy with my incisions right now, counting the small wins haha!

April 7, 2016
Aww thankyou!and yeah I really like how your incisions look too,with time and positive mind your girls will blossom to their beautiful results!
April 7, 2016
They look so good! You can really tell a difference from day one to 21 days. Your scars are healing so well! What are you using for them?
April 8, 2016
Thank you so much.... It means the world to me for you to send over this compliment! It's sometimes hard to stay positive when being patient with results. :)
I'm using SkinMedica scar recovery gel. It's like $40 for a small tube, however I only put it on every two days. I stick 3M skin tape on my incisions and seal the incisions with the SkinMedica gel. I was super skeptical about the gel because it is made by Allergan (the company that I got implants from) and I just figured they were overselling their products. But it looks like it's really working. Thank you again!

Any news? How are your new breasts looking/feeling now? Hope all is well for you!
May 6, 2016
Hi lady! Breasts are feeling almost completely normal! My left breast lower pole still hasn't stretched like I want it to, but I'm still so happy with my results. How are you?!

May 7, 2016
So happy for you! 32DD!!! wow! It takes some getting used to, having large, pretty boobs, doesn't it?

May 7, 2016
I'm at 34D... not what I initially wanted, but I think they suit my body now. Yours look like the perfect size for your bod!

Day 17 Post Op

Hey gals! It's been awhile since I have provided an update, here I am! The first week of recovery was just about how everyone else said it would be.... Lots of rest and weight gain from the surgery! Now that I'm past two weeks I would say that the worst of the surgery and healing is over, and now the waiting game begins! Because my breasts were tuberous before, my surgeon warned me that it would take atleast 12-16 weeks to see final results....Easier said than done!! I think my sad point was on Day 10 PO when I leaned over and saw all of my old, deformed boobs! I also feel like they are just as high as the day I came home from surgery. With that being said, do not be like me. Don't measure your progress against others and don't strive for perfection. Our bodies are different and I know that one day my results will make me so happy!
Right now my surgeon has me wearing a bra 24/7 and doing massage five times a day. I feel like the massage doesn't do much for dropping, however it does make them softer and makes me more aware of the little changes occurring day to day.
Are any of you ladies going braless or wearing a strap to help speed up dropping? My surgeon said I will be doing this at 6 weeks, I wish I could do it sooner! Patience is a virtue that I'm gaining everyday. Happy healing, y'all!

your boobies look like mine! I'm reaaaaally trying to be patient as they drop, but my nipples are still low!
April 4, 2016
Patience is a ridiculous thing to acquire after paying $$$ to fix our weird boobs! Lol! I'm in the same boat you are. Some days I feel like I see improvement, other days I'm like, "man these things are hard and high!" Cannot wait to see them drop and my nipples raise a little. Makes me wonder if I should have gotten a lift but I'm putting trust in them settling! I'm looking on the bright side that at least we'll have nice high pretty boobies for a year or more!

April 2, 2016
Thank you for sharing your progress! It's funny because my doctor had me go braless as soon as I was able... on day 4 or 5 after I got my stitches out, and I haven't been able to wear one since except for the freaking BAND that drives me crazy.... anyway, the opposite of what your doc had you do. Does one work better than the other? I have no idea. But, at least we all realize it's not a race to the top. I was happy to read that you were given a shorter time frame for when your breasts wouldn't look tuberous anymore. I was told 6 months. Patience is INDEED a virtue, isn't it? It's odd that I spent my entire teenage and adult life with tuberous breasts, but the moment I don't have a quick fix from my surgery, I feel super impatient! Do you have numbness, or do you have full feeling post-surgery? I think your boobs look loads better after surgery and I'll bet that high top pole you're worried about goes down with time. Great update!
April 5, 2016
I totally responded to this earlier, then I see it didn't post!! :(
I would really love to go braless. It makes sense that gravity and the weight of the implants will allow the lower pole to stretch better! But, like you said, I think that we will all end up with fabulous results and the race may just be a myth! It's especially confusing when surgeons disagree on methodology and aftercare; some say massage is dumb, some say braless, heck even some put their patients in a push up! I think either way we can rejoice in having "perky" high boobs for the time being! Just think, some women pay for theirs to be sitting high and mighty. :)
I do have numbness, especially in my lower pole. I think that's normal from what I can tell. One thing that has been WILDLY interesting is how sensitive my nipples are! It's downright painful! If a draft of cool air comes my way I swear I become the most dramatic person on Earth. Haha. You're absolutely right about patience. Funny how we think this stuff happens overnight. I'm so guilty of replacing my old obsession with looking at BA's with my new obsession of watching my own progress. I've started to look at my breasts a lot less, and it has helped! I'm starting to feel normal, maybe even "sexy!" Even with the extra 10 pounds of laziness from surgery I'm starting to get a groove. Ha! Can't wait to follow your progress some more, I love that we can all share with one another!

April 4, 2016
Glad to see your healing so well!! I am getting really freaked out. 10 days until my BA.. Thinking of canceling it. What if they are heavy and I hate having them. All the what ifs!! Then I look and see your update.. Look at you with your success!! Also a good reminder that even after I get them it still will take time. You look great! Makes me wonder if I should go bigger now! Lol
April 5, 2016
Dixie, if this is something you want to do and have strived for, I would highly consider going through with the surgery. I say this because going into surgery was the most difficult thing I have done! I'm a naturally anxious person, so I worried and obsessed about everything before the surgery. I was even calling the surgeon the day before surgery seeing if it was acceptable to down Xanax! I was able to withhold anxiety medication and get a good night's sleep before surgery because I let go of the horror stories, let go of the pain I knew I would go through, and let go of the impending recovery! Trust me, you will get done with the surgery and go WOW! That was a breeze. I love the size and think I might could have gone bigger. Can't believe I'm even saying that! Your body will adapt to your new size so quickly, it's insane. Keep me posted, we are all here for you :)

Hi Southerngallifestyle, my Dr recommends a band I ran on top of my chest to push them down a little. He gave it to me the day if the surgery. I'll post a picture on my page later today or early tomorrow morning. It is suppose to work. I am only 5days post surgery so I can't confirm it works but I have read it makes a difference. Good luck and stay positive as you are. It will look as you wish soon!
April 7, 2016
I talked the the PA yesterday and she said at 6 weeks I get to wear the band. I can't wait to physically push these puppies down!
