8 months out and they're perfect!

  • 6 Dec 2016
  • 8 months post
I'm almost exactly 8 months post op and I love them- best thing I've ever done!! The right one started to drop down and the implant began to settle probably in months 4-5 post op but now they're about as symmetrical as possible! They're the perfection size, they look completely natural and people would really have no idea I had implants unless I told them. They look great in bikini tops and tank tops, I've been able to comfortably sleep on my stomach since probably month 2, even earlier. I could've probably gone up to 450 and they wouldn't have been too big but I'm very happy with my size- maybe go a little bigger after kids one day. Couldn't recommend Dr Volpe and St Elizabeth's Hospital more- they and everything about who surgery, staff, nurses, and all post op staff were excellent!

6 weeks PO!

Officially 6 weeks out! Now my scars and capsules are strong so I don't have anymore restrictions as far as the gym, activities, etc. I saw the doctor yesterday and he was happy with my profess but wants to catch up my right breast with the left one, by starting to do massages on my right breast only. They've both softened up, but the right one is still firmer and riding high. My doctor showed me how to do massages by basically pressing down hard in the upper pole with one hand and pressing in on the lower fold with my other hand to hopefully stretch the skin a little and allow the implant to drop into place. He thinks it's not so much my muscle but my skin was very tight and there may be a very small (teaspoon) amount of blood that settled in the bottom of e pocket and is preventing the implant from dropping. My next appointment is in 8 weeks (14 weeks PO) so hopefully we will see a little ,ore progress by then and the scar tissue has softened up a little to allow the implant to drop. I was in Aruba this past week and was very happy in my bathing suit tops! I never wanted to be big and just wanted breasts that looked like they naturally came with my body and that's ho they look! I've never felt so good in a bathing suit before!!

Great sports bra!

So I'm 3.5 weeks PO, feel great! Have been sleeping on my left side which is the side where my boob started to drop and soften up a little already. Although I got the okay by my PS to start running at 2 weeks I'm still gunna wait it out another week or two. I have started doing some lower body and ab exercises (squats, Russian twists, etc) and I wanted a high impact supportive wireless sports bra for when I do start running again. I got the VS front zip, wireless bra and it's extremely comfortable, very supportive and it'll definitely make me feel more secure when I start running again. It has built in cups that clip in the front and then also has the more traditional front zip sports bra on top of it.

I had my consultation w Dr. Volpe and felt comfortable w him right away. I did my research for months before hand and really loved Dr Volpe's work. All of the before and afters were so well done and natural looking, which is what I'm going for. After trying on sizers and letting him know my goals, I was between 320 and 350- after I chose the 350 the Dr approved of the size because he thought I could carry them with my hips and backside. Because there's only a 2 tbsp ish difference and most women wish they had gone bigger I stuck with the 350. The morning of surgery he again explained everything thoroughly and reassured me with the few additional questions I had. The anesthesiologist was absolutely fantastic and extremely nice. Dr. Volpe made sure he called my bf after surgery to let him know I did fine, and I saw him 3 days after surgery. I recently saw him for my 6 week PO and I can start massages. He's very patient, very thorough, and overall gave me exactly what I wanted. Though my breasts are still healing, they look natural, are proportionate to my frame and exactly the size I was hoping for. I couldn't recommend him anymore!! ***UPDATE 4/7/17*** AMAZING! I had 350, moderate +, saline implants put in one year ago today. I'm 5'5 about 130 pounds and was an AA. I didn't want to go huge and just wanted them to look natural and Dr. Volpe knew exactly what I wanted! His bedside manner is exceptional and he really took the time to talk to me about the procedure and really put me at ease the morning of the surgery. I couldn't recommend him more!
