heres a little scar update and some more pics! —side note tho the only thing i will say is i hate the feeling when my boob muscle is being flexed.. its so weird like you can feel the implant move and i get scared that itll move around to the wrong place or something so i havent done any kind of upper body workouts. thinking about doing a pull up or push up literally makes me cringe lol… but thats really it, everything else is great sooo

i dont really have much to update, things have been really good. they’ve really softened up a lot and i feel like this is the most theyre gonna drop which is perfect for me! My confidence has gone up so much im super happy with my results! i honestly thought id be going through a lot more mentally like body dysmorphia like a lot of people say but life is exactly the same lol, just with some boobs!! Im going on vacation soon and im soo excited to be in cute bikinis and outfits, it genuinely feels so nice to not be so insecure about having to put on a bikini top. also i started using scar tape about 3-4 weeks ago and i think my scars are kinda flattening? im not sure tbh. i dont have any pictures of my scars right now but ill attach it to the next post when i take some. Oh also i havent officially gotten sized but ive been wearing 32B bras and they fit pretty perfect. (I was an A/AA before)

Hey! Can I ask if these are teardrop shape? I’m also so undecided on whether I should go for moderate profile of high profile! They look great btw!
Heyy! Thank you so much! No these aren't teardrop, they're round.... I believe teardrop implants have a way higher risk of complications than round. Also, I definitely 100% recommend high profile over moderate. At first my mind was fully set on moderate because I was under the impression that high profile would look super fake and have too much projection from the side, but I just trusted my surgeon when she recommended high profile instead and im SO happy I did. I guess it really depends on the look you're going for but just keep in mind moderate implants are wider, so you'd be losing cc's. Like for example I got 275cc High profile but if I would have chose moderate, the max I would have been able to get would probably be like 200cc because of the implant width. I feel like if I would have gotten moderate, it would be too flat from the side
Did you already wear an underwire bra??
Yes! I was told to start wearing underwire bras during the day around the 4-5 week mark. And at night I wear a supportive bralette
Out of topic but im so curious where did you got your green necklace! I love it!!
haha thank you! I got it from my Asian jeweler. It's a jade stone
Are they UTM?
Yes! Fully UTM I believe. I don't think I had enough starting tissue for OTM

hey just a quick update.. i am so so happy with my results and ive never felt this confident before! they are dropping and softening superrrr fast, everyone said it would take months but theyre pretty squishy already for being this soon out. most of the pain went away the only thing is my right nipple really hurts when i touch it or it rubs against something. it’s super sensitive and when i touch it it kinda fees like a bruise? But I read that its normal sooo whatever. Also my incisions look really good im gonna start my scar gel treatments in 2 weeks. Umm not sure what else im missing i guess ill just make another update post later on as im not sure if anyone even reads these but heres some pics and a video (if they post lol)

also kinda random but ive had inverted nipples my whole life and my right one was never able to get hard, they kinda always looked like( • Y - )haha but ever since they’ve dropped it kind of pushed out my nipple?? which is so weird because ive never seen my right nipple poke out in my life!!! but i’m soo glad bc its always been a huge insecurity of mine
Wait, I have questions I hope you don't mind
1. Do you still have to wear tapes over your incisions?
2. Do you still wear your compression bra?
3. Are you wearing normal bras already?
4. How high can you lift your arms?
5. Does your boobs feel heavy without a bra on?
It's crazy that you can move your boobs around, my surgeon said I shouldn't move them in any way and they're not soft like yours yet but if I hold them while driving then I can feel the gel jiggle

hey of course!
1. No I was told to take them off two weeks post op, and the incisions are already fully closed
2. I wear my compression/surgical bra probably 60% of the time and then just like a sports bra or some kind of supportive non underwire bra like the purple-ish one I'm wearing in the pic
3. No underwire bras yet! I believe they said I can start 4-6 weeks post op
4. I can lift my arms normally, like fully above my head or to the side
5. They don't feel heavy at all! It honestly feels the same as before, I'm not like conscious of the implants at all.
6. Also about me moving them, my surgeon told me to make sure I'm moving them around and massaging them at least 2 times a day because it significantly reduces the risk of capsular contracture and also helps them drop/soften faster. So hmmmm I'm wondering why your surgeon said not to move them around because usually you're supposed to start the massages at 1 week post op??

That's so weird, I have to wear both the tape and bra for another 5 weeks?! I'm going to ask about the massages. Is yours fully over the muscle or is it placed under the fascia (over the muscle but under the muscle fascia, its not a dual plane either) I'm sorry for the questions, I'm so worried and I have no one else to talk to about this. My boobs are nowhere near as soft as yours, I'm too afraid to squeeze them because I was told not to
No problem at all ask all the questions you need!!! Hmm yeah wearing the compression bra for that long is typically normal but the tape is a bit questionable... Is it tape that you are reapplying? Or do they want you to keep on the same tape that you left surgery with? I believe mine is fully under the muscle because she never told me otherwise. But definitely don't worry about them being soft yet!! It all depends on your starting anatomy and how fast your muscle/skin adapts to being stretched by the implants. I have a cousin who got hers done and she was shocked by how fast mine are softening because she said hers didn't jiggle till like 4 months post op. Mine just softened way faster than most people for some reason. The only thing that's concerning to me is that they've told you not to move them around because my surgeon and nurses emphasized that the massages are super important to do for the first 3 months... I guess it just depends on your surgeons process because I just looked it up and apparently it's normal for some surgeons to tell you to start massages early, while some advise to start later on like 6-7 weeks post op. So I'd say to listen to your surgeon!
Thank you so much! And yes, I have to reapply the tape and I'm also starting my scar treatment today. Oh thank goodness, I was depressed the whole day yesterday but I read that some people's implants only start softening after 4months, which implant brand did your friend have and what size was hers? You're very young so maybe your healing is faster or maybe you just heal fast in general ahahah. I read massaging can cause bleeding if done too early, maybe my surgeon will suggest I start after 2 months but other than the softness issue, my boobs are extremely beautiful, it's exactly as my wish pic but I am afraid for the softness, I pro ably will swap to mentor one day
Of course!! Reapplying the tape makes senseee, I was thinking you had to keep the same tape on this whole time I was like no way that could be sanitary haha. My cousin got Natrelle 330cc Moderate profile and started off COMPLETELY flat so it took a while for hers to soften. And I also read that yesterday!! It kind of scared me a bit because I've been a little rough with my massages.. but so far no complications (fingers crossed)! Are your implants motiva? And what was your starting anatomy like?
They are motiva ergonomix and I regret not asking to feel the mentor implant because the ergonomix is supposed to feel like natural breast so I thought that naturally meant its the softest, I've only seen one person with motivas on here who's boobs turned out soft but I don't know what her starting anatomy looked like, it was just an A cup. I was also an A, I had enough tissue to go over the muscle. I think I had a good enough amount but still flat. My surgeon did say my skin or tissue was tight or something like that but I'll ask him if they'll be soft and how much swapping them out for mentors would be but at the same time I don't want to sacrifice the safety features of motivas *sigh* but the weird thing is is that I can feel them jiggle when I walk or when I'm in the car, I'll just have to wait for 4-6 months and see how soft they get
I read that surgeons would ask those with smooth implants to massage because they don't have the same grip as textured implants.
I took the tapes off yesterday, I was so scared I'd rip the stitches but I didn't see any, the line is so thin I couldn't even tell it was there which is good.

Wait you did over the muscle with textured implants? Okay that makes a lot of sense as to why we have completely different post op instructions haha. And thats good about the incisions!! Just keep being patient i’m sure they’ll soften up soon, especially with going OTM :)
