10+ Years of Wanting & Well Worth the Wait! - Beverly Hills, CA

I've had boobs since grade 3, but I swear they hadn't grown since then. I had lost about 39 lbs over the last few years and told myself my present to myself would be new boobs. I re-gained 10 lbs, but plan to re-drop those pounds soon and went ahead with my present!

Finally at almost 32 years old, I left Canada and flew to Beverly Hills for the long awaited procedure. I had consults locally, but a friend of mine lives in LA and offered to take care of me. She used the Dr and was amazed with her results. This, plus the lower cost of surgery, made me go for it! I had a consult back in December while I was visiting, and had my surgery (along with a lip lift, lip fat injection) back on June 13th.

The team was great and explained everything to me. I wasn't nervous at all which surprised me as I had never had surgery before. Over all I was very impressed with the clinic, the staff and the Dr.

I am now just over two weeks post op, and I love it. Bruising is almost gone and the sutures are closing nicely. I just switched the paper tape over my incisions (to push the scars down) and saw the sites for the first time. I am still tender and am waiting for the implants to "drop", but they aren't sitting that high up.

I feel my body now looks the way it should have looked and am excited to see myself with 10-15 lbs gone. I was wearing a 36A but now think I may have been a 34B now that I know how to figure sizes out. When you are small, you just don't care. I had 371 ccs implanted over the muscle through the nipple. Recent measurements places me at about a 36DD but this may shrink as swelling goes down. The Dr. recommended over the muscle because I had tubular boobs (pointy) and I did NOT want the pointiness to continue after surgery.

If you have the surgery, REST AS MUCH AS YOU CAN. I took quite a few days to heal while visiting my friend and I really think that helped speed up recovery. I'm glad I wasn't at home so I didn't worry about the dog or the house or work.

Congratulations! You look great! You make an excellent point about resting in order to heal properly. I have a hard time sitting around watching my house get messy from the family, so it sounds like your recovery plan was great. Your friend had even been through the procedure....what a great situation! Thank you for sharing your story on RealSelf! Looking forward to more updates!

Yeah, I'm glad I stayed away from home. I have a Great Dane who demands a lot of attention so laying there doing nothing would have been very hard. I have recovered quickly and I think it's because the first 9 days were me away from home!

Over 3 Weeks Later...

Three weeks later and I couldn't be happier.

I am off the pain meds, and am mostly pain free. If I bend over too far, I get a burning sensation. I also get sore but feel the massages help. I'm now back to work full time and am dealing with that ok.

I'm happy with the size but part of me wishes I went a TINY bit bigger. These look pretty natural I believe.

One (with the tattoo) has dropped a bit leaving the other looking a bit high. I've been wearing my band hoping to push that sucker down but so far it hasn't wanted to co-operate. I know it will drop eventually.

I am so glad I did this. I feel so much sexier. :D Soon I will try on all my clothes to see which still fit and which to toss.

Oh, I still have very little feeling on the boobs/nipples. I trust this will come back over time but for now it's just numb.

Nipples...

just_a_girl
Oh and I find my nipples are always erect now. I'm not sure if this is because they were pierced for 10 years prior to this, or if it has to do with the surgery. But they are always saying hello.

Luckily the white sports bra I'm wearing above, has a tiny bit of padding which hides them and doesn't make me obscene for work!
