22yrs Old, 5'0, 100lbs, no kids, 275ccs High Profile Overs

And just like that, the girls are almost 5 months old. I have very mixed feelings on my results, but overall I’m glad I got the procedure done. They’re not as soft as natural breasts by a long shot despite , and I have moderate rippling whenever I bend over without a bra on thanks to being convinced to have them placed under the muscle, which is definitely not the ‘more natural’ option. Dr. Larsen made one pocket much larger than the other, so every time I lie down, jump or do yoga one implant slides up to my collarbone. When I brought up my concerns with him they were brushed off with a smile. There were several other issues, but long story short, I would never go back to Buckhead Plastic Surgery or recommend them. On the other end, my boobs look great in a bra and have dropped nicely-though I would’ve preferred the moderate profile look (which I was told I couldn’t have.. also false). I started sleeping on my side for good at about 3 months, and my scars are fading as expected and are well-hidden. If I could go back and choose a different doctor I absolutely would, but I’m happy to finally have boobs!

I can’t believe the girls are a month old already, but here we are! I got professionally sized at Victoria’s Secret a few days ago, and... I’m a 32D! Eek! I danced around for the rest of the day, lol- which brings me to the fact that I can finally do that! I was cleared for everything at my 1-month post op appointment. Yesterday I actually hiked a mountain, and later felt like I had pulled a tiny muscle near one boob (the older right one surprisingly) afterwards but it was minor and went away by the next morning. I don’t think twice about lifting most things, and it still feels odd to really stretch my arms back but reaching normally is 100% back to normal. Sleep wise, last night was the first night I comfortably fell asleep on my side, and though I did frequently return to my back and woke up that way (because it got uncomfortable/slightly painful) I was thrilled with the progress. By week 6 I should be back to side-sleeping for good. My asymmetries no longer concern me much, as now they just seem like the same ones I had before.
As for scars, I haven’t really mentioned them because they look amazing and so unnoticeable! It was really hard to get a picture where you could see them, and my once- hideous left scar (that was reopened for a second surgery and is actually three weeks old today) is very surprisingly looking A Lot better. I was told that scar creams won’t do much (but that massaging the scar will), so I settled on buying a tube of Mederma just for kicks- if my scars looked this way forever, I’d be fine with them. They’re still bumpy feeling but look thin and flat.
Lastly, I have to say that in terms of self confidence, I am honestly a new woman. I cringed while reading my past reviews, because now I couldn’t care less about what other people think! It must have been the stress of it all. I’ve been seeing so many posts about telling others or other people finding out about their BA, and I have so been there. The first time I had to change in front of a coworker/friend I was so uncomfortable, and I didn’t even really know what to say.. I think my exact words were ‘so um, surprise! I didn’t get back surgery...’ lol, but at the same time I just kept thinking to myself, “you saved for ages, paid thousands of dollars and went through things most people couldn’t imagine to have these. Own them!” It takes time, but I got there. I’m not perfect by a long shot, but I’m back to feeling sexy now- inside and out. :)

I keep trying to do short updates and they always end up as a novel lol, but I feel like I need to share for the people who really want to hear about everything that comes with this journey. You don’t just have surgery one day, feel tight for a few days, then fast-forward a few months and have perfect boobs- there’s so much more to it than that. So read on or skip to the pics! The last few days and up until right now, I have been intensely going back and forth wondering if this procedure was really worth it. I know it’s very common and I’ll likely have no regrets by month 6, but my mind’s been churning all the same- I could’ve put a hefty down payment on a Nice new car, stayed in an overwater bungalow in Bora Bora for half a month, traveled through all 50 states, the list goes on.. but I chose to get bigger boobs. And at the end of the day, they really are Just Boobs. A lot of people didn’t notice, an even larger amount wouldn’t approve if they did notice, and any man who considers bigger boobs a ‘must’ isn’t worth my time. BUT! At the same time, now that I’m starting to feel somewhat back to normal again, I’m pretty happy with my decision (at least when my areolas/nipples aren’t actively stinging for no apparent reason like they are right now...). While I didn’t need them in the first place, I enjoy them for the most part. I fill out clothes better, I look more feminine, and I feel a tad sexier in and out of clothes just like I wanted. So if money is a non-issue, I’d 100% say go for it. But since most people don’t consider several thousand dollars pocket change, I’d highly suggest considering Both statements: all of the things that you could do instead, AND the fact that at the end of the day, they’re just boobs- and it is a major surgery with real risks. I thought about the first one, but I just rolled my eyes at the second and glorified the aspect of having boobs so much leading up to my surgery. I really wish someone who specifically went through it would’ve sat me down and said all of this to me. I might’ve waited until I was out of college or at least paid off a few small things first. If nothing else, make sure you’re doing it for You Only! I would’ve been devastated if I didn’t already realize that it wouldn’t make much of a difference at all in the way other people see me. I still highly encourage it as long as you’re aware- there’s a reason most women say it’s worth it! Just my thoughts. I got several new Victoria’s secret wireless sports bras in 32C and one bralette in size Small and I love them all, though I think a 32D might be my true size for comfort and tee-shirt bras. We’ll see! :)
