Most Amazing Experience :)

I never write reviews but I'm doing so for 2 reasons: #1. I've really had the best experience so I want to write a thorough review #2. I want to pay it forward because the Realself community has helped me make so many educated choices for myself. For starters, I'm 33F no kids. I was a large A cup with loss of volume on the top. I was never insecure about/hated my boobs so this was a big decision for me because why would I voluntarily do something that might mess up something that I didn't hate in the first place y'know? BUT, I've been WANTING a boob job for soooooo freaking long and I finally decided to do it. I am really glad I did it but I made this decision knowing full well that things could go wrong and complications are very possible. I got 300cc and 325cc and I'm 2 weeks out and my boobs look....ridiculously good and NATURAL. Just got off my scar tape today and my incisions look so good for 2 weeks post. I couldn't be happier. Recovery was relatively easy. I definitely wouldn't have been able to go to work the next day even though I got "rapid recovery". I would budget 3-4 days of doing absolutely NOTHING for sure and having someone with you. ONE THING I wasn't prepared to experience that I rarely see ppl talking about is is the nerve pain/ burning sensations/ pins and zaps that you feel when your nerves are trying to find each other again post surgery. Also, I'm still numb on the bottom side of my breasts. Both my nipples have sensation! I cannot wait to see how they look at the 1 month mark and the 3 month mark. I wish I could fast forward lol. I'm gonna attached as many photos as possible but if you are considering getting a breast aug, GO WITH HIM!

Oh man. Looking back now I wish I would've never done it. At the 6 month mark I could tell the implants were placed too low and too far apart. They look unnatural on my body. I also developed BII. Joint pain, Hair loss. Tons of bloodwork and doctors later, I am now being diagnosed with a plethora of autoimmune illnesses. I had ZEROOOOO symptoms before these boobs. So now I'm looking for an explant surgeon. My advice, now, is to not touch your boobs. :(

Wow. Sorry to hear that your body is having such a profound response. At least you figured it out early, and if you decide to do it can explant without a lot of damage. Can your original surgeon do the procedure? Hang in there, and please keep us posted. (I'm recovering from total capsulectomy/explant now, so feel free to ask any questions you might have.)

I'm so sorry you got ill from your implants! Wishing you a full recovery and health when you get the explants. Thank you for sharing your experience. It's a good reminder that implants can still be unsafe despite the advancement in technology and plastic surgery.
