Hi all,
My left breast has been diagnosed with Capsular Contracture level 2/3. I am so BUMMED. I had a feeling it was looking a little full on top. Ive noticed more fullness on my left over the past year. In fact I went in feb 2013 and had it looked at. The surgeon told me just to keep pressing down on the top and it should fall into place. So I did that but I don't think it did much. One month ago I had a mammogram. After that my left breast felt tingly and got super hard over 2 weeks and had moved up further towards my collarbone. I really noticed it when I put on an unlined underwire bra. It was like all of my implant was above my bra. I get mammograms to monitor a couple fibroadenomas. So yearly I need a mammogram, this was my first sense getting implants. Im scared to go next year, although my surgeon says my CC has nothing to do with it. My surgeon pointed out why my breast is smooshy below the implant... I thought the implant had burst open... but in fact it was my boob meat! The implant had risen above the original boobs. The implant should be resting right at the bottom of my breast. I am just so sad. My surgeon suggested Singular and massage. It has gotten way softer and dropped a little in the past two days. I had been on singular for allergies for 4 days prior to the appointment. I have hope this will help. But if it does not then reconstruction surgery will happen in 3 months. Which does not make me happy ($2800).

I'll check out soma. I know victorias carries larger sizes I just wanted a sexy low cut one and those are too padded. Padding is no longer required!

Looking fabulous! I feel like we'll all have at least one friend or family member who doesn't "get it". For me it's my sister whom I haven't even told because I already know what she'll say! Otherwise the two friends I have confided in are very supportive. (One of them insisted I allow her a squeeze! Haha!). I wouldn't say you looked like a ddd at all! And I mean that in a good way. That "sounds" so big! I know I shouldn't get stuck on the sizing, but I'm really hoping for a large b, small c cup. I feel like any more wouldn't be me. So glad to hear the workouts are coming along! Thanks for the great update!

Hi friends! Its been so long sense I have updated! All is well. My boobs are looking great. My four week follow up was very good. My PS couldn't believe my surgery was just 4 weeks prior! The scars are healing well. She said my boobs have settled and are where they are going to be. She said they are a great fit for my frame and look totally natural... like one may ask, did she have a boob job.... Can't tell. Ha! I, myself, know I did! I've run into a few old friends, one that told me I had lost too much weight after having my first baby 5 years ago. We used to walk our babes around the city in their little strollers (ahhh those were the days).... so I think she could tell my boobs were suddenly bigger then they used to be! But she didn't say anything. I told a friend this past weekend and she couldn't believe it! She said I looked great and they look totally right for my figure. She had a BA with 450cc's! So we were a little different in boob size! My parents and mother in law and husband are so happy with the size too. All around, I've gotten great responses.... except from my best friend! Has this happened to any of you? Granted, she hasn't seen me yet and she is ultra conservative. When I told her I was thinking about getting my boobs done she was like WOW how cool... but how big... and what will you tell your daughter. I think she might be uncomfortable with my decision or just embarrassed to talk about it. I don't know what I was expecting from her.

So on to my new size.... 32DDD!!!!! WHAT!!!! Ok, it's a little intimidating. And a little crazy to say im a triple D!!!!! It is very difficult to find bras. Target does not carry the size. Not that it's my only place to shop but if I want a bra it seems like Ill be paying $60 and up for my size. I went to a nordstroms to get fitted and the girl had no idea. She tried to put me in a 32 e! FREAKED ME OUT. I may need therapy. I can do 32DD depending on the manufacturer but I am pretty much a 32 ddd. I've cleared out all the non-itchy feeling clearance bras at nordstrom rack. Also what I was not expecting was just how giant the bras look. Most are not sexy. And I also figured out victoria secret is mainly for girls who don't have boobs... and def not if you have implants. The whole place is padded and if it's not padded it's not pretty.

I am still waiting to do sit ups. It has been really hard to let my ab muscles go away. The hernia repair really set me back in my workout routine. I can run and climb the bleachers but the stomach exercise is off limits. I have started lifting my kids into the car and shopping carts without any soreness. So I think its just a few weeks before I can start my regular routine. Its scary though, I don't want to mess up my belly! I think if I had only done the BA I would have been back to normal with in 2 1/2 weeks.
