hiii! It’s been awhile since I’ve updated but just reached the 6 month mark since my surgery. The first few months afterwards I had a lot of numbness in my nipples as well as under boob. I’ve gained all feeling back so just know that loss of sensation and tingling (somewhat painful) is temporary! Another interesting thing is my right nipple was much more sensitive than my left.. so there was a period of time where my right nipple was ALWAYS hard lol and not my left which was really annoying but that fixed itself overtime too!
I honestly haven’t used anything for my scars yet because I tried to use bio oil and a silicone gel on them maybe 2 months in and I had the WORST reaction!!! horrible red bumpy itchy rashes all around my scar line and on my under boob. It was scary and so uncomfortable. I believe it wasn’t a normal allergic reaction because I’ve used bio oil & silicone gel other places & never had anything happen.. but I read online that as your sutures move towards the top of your skin, they can react poorly to certain things. SO anyways stopped using anything at all & washed them frequently with soap & water. All rashing went away but it took a few weeks. Be careful with that & make sure to wash after sweating a bunch! Unsure when I’ll try stuff for my scars again lol.
I was very slow with getting back to workouts, especially anything upper body. I pretty much waited a full 8 weeks after surgery to start running and doing workout classes again. And it took me even longer to lift heavy weights. Especially chest movements and anything that pulled overhead (lat pull downs, overhead tricep extensions).. hell even reaching to a high cabinet felt off like my implants were being pulled. I no longer feel this weirdness for the most part.. only if I’m lifting something reallyyy heavy or doing push ups lol. Not sure if that will ever go away or always feel kinda weird but it’s not painful & if it ever was I’d stop.
As you can see, I still have an asymmetry between them. My left boob was naturally smaller & had a higher fold than my right. We used a slightly larger implant & chose to bring my left fold down just slightly to try to correct this. I think they came out pretty damn even!! My right one still sits a little lower & my nipples aren’t perfectly in line but you literally cannot tell unless you pull out a ruler or over analyze (like I do) a photo.. in real life they look more symmetric. My bf says he cannot tell a difference. :)
Other than that I FREAKING LOVEEE THEM. They keep dropping every week and looking more and more natural. I feel so confident and sexy in clothes now!! They can look super natural & modest in some things or friggin HUGE in a push up bra hahah which is exactly what I wanted.. a natural look that I could make big when I wanted. I think I went with the perfect size and am so beyond happy with my results. Can’t wait for them to drop & fluff even more the next 6 months!

Super results, I am sure your bf is loving them. He would be too distracted to look for a ruler. Congratulations

Week 7 update

I just got cleared to go back to physical activities! Taking it slow of course. I tried out a push up.. and it felt so weird!! Not painful but strange because you can feel the muscle contracting over the implant which is a little tight.
I’ll probably stick to leg days & cardio for another few weeks until I feel more comfortable with upper body things! Slowly test those over time lol.
Boobs are still softening. I think my pec muscles need more time to relax/stretch as well in order for them to be bouncier.
Left implant was slightly larger and it’s dropping a tinyy bit slower but honestly they look identical especially in real life.. pics make the difference seem more drastic?
Anywaysss here are some full body front / angle / side!

I can't believe I haven't asked yet, but did you get responsive, soft touch or cohesive implants? My PS is recommending Soft touch which is in the middle level of cohesiveness. Responsive is the least cohesive and cohesive is, not so ironically, the most cohesive. you would think soft touch would be the softest and least cohesive but no. and other thing I can't believe is that I haven't asked you for an update in 31 days!

hey sorry for the late reply!! Natrelle implants come in cohesive, soft touch, & inspira (assuming that's equivalent to responsive?). I got the inspira ones - my PS never even mentioned the different types there honestly. I think he solely uses the inspira ones! Not sure why maybe he finds them best. Not sure if that helps but mine feel soft and natural to the touch! I don't know how they would feel different if I had one of the other two..

& I will post another update but everything has been PERFECT with them. They keep dropping and are so natural and I love them so much!! Best decision ever & I'm so excited for you :))

Inspira is the name for the line of all three types, responsive, softtouch and cohesive, but I can see why the first style under the line, responsive might be called inspira. But by any name, your boobs look great!

first time bra shopping!

Tomorrow will be my 6 week mark!! I know my boobs aren’t at their final state yet but I wanted to purchase some comfy t shirt bras to wear instead of just sports bras.
I went to VS and didn’t get “formally sized” but tried on a few diff 32 cup sizes until I found one that fit nicely. This is a 32D with absolutely no padding!!! I’m shook. I thought I would just be a C honestly but my girls were flying out of that one haha. Can’t believe I wear a D cup now - LIFE MADE. :D
It’s soo exciting and life changing to have boobs!! I’ve never felt sexy putting bras on before. I only bought these no padding no underwire t shirt bras for now. But it’ll be fun to buy more lacy ones in the future. And add padding for even more cleavage?!! Literally can’t believe it.

Thanks for posting! Can you show more pics full length front and side? Did you get high profile?
B
February 20, 2020
added an update with more full length pics! I got full (high) profile in the largest cc that would fit my BWD. I considered bumping to ultra high but Dr. S said it would be a more augmented look so I stuck with high bc I wanted them to look natural! they're still dropping ofc but I think the size ended up being perfect with my frame.

I am 5'4, 114-116 lbs. I have a little asymmetry, right a little bigger than left, but both surgeons I had consulted with said it was not enough to warrant different sized implants. I am worried about going too big. My first PS recommended 275, 300 or 325 cc Mentor Mod Plus or 300, 325 or 350 cc Mentor HP. My second recommended 275 or 295 Natrelle SSM or 335, 345, 365 SSF. I am leaning toward the higher profile, since I am deflated and thin, but I am leaning toward 335, because I am scared of them being too big. You went with 385 and 365,which you are saying is the biggest full profile implants that fit your breast width. I am scared that 365 (which is just a little big for my 12 cm BWD) will be too big! He suggested he could cheat them a little to the middle to close up my cleavage. You're my size and yours look great, but you never can tell how something will look one person to the next, though! Nervous!

I definitely recommend high profile! Also go with the bigger size!! You won't regret it! If your surgeon says it's within the range for you & is possible, then it's good. Honestly don't think anything would look too big unless you went 400 or above. It is your decision, though. :) just have to ask yourself.. would you be more upset if they ended up smaller than you wanted or a bit bigger? I knew I would be upset if they were smaller so I went the biggest my surgeon said would be okay & think it ended up being perfect!!
