Hello again! I thought I updated at exactly 12 months post-op but I must have messed something up and didn’t save it correctly. :/
This is me over a year after surgery. I’m still very happy with the result. I never really think about my breasts anymore and when I do, I feel confident. I love the way they look in my t-shirts and dresses (somehow they seem larger when clothed) but I am happy with the subtle, natural look when I’m not wearing anything.
Some people asked me to please upload a pic with a push-up bra. I only own one and I didn’t get great pics but here are a few to give an idea. I’ll have to buy one that isn’t lacy or a balconette style to see what that looks like. To be honest, I still haven’t gone back to underwire bras really as I have become so used to comfy ones haha.
As for the cleavage question: My breasts have always been far apart and they continue to be far apart but I was expecting this, so I don’t really mind. It would be nice of course but on balance, I think it all turned out very well. My surgeon said something like, “they will be your breasts, just bigger.” I think he meant that there wasn’t a tremendous amount to be done in terms of shape/anatomical structure, which makes sense. (Some smaller-chested friends of mine can get cleavage with the right bra but I never have been able to.) My breasts do touch when I lie on my side now, which they didn’t at the six months post-op so that’s new. :)
I want to wish anyone who has happened upon this review and is considering surgery the very best of luck. Personally, I found it was a great experience to have all this support here. Please don’t hesitate to reach out with questions!

Thanks for updating! You look amazing! Have you noticed any changes between 6months and 1 year?

Yes, they continued to soften up and began to jiggle etc. They also began to move with my body a bit more. (For example, somewhere around the 8 or 9 month mark, I noticed that my breasts would touch when lying down, which they didn’t earlier on in the healing process.)

Can you sleep on your stomach?

I’m not a stomach sleeper but at this point I certainly could. I believe my doctor gave me the all-clear for that at around six months. (I have gotten a massage since my surgery and didn’t find lying on my stomach at all uncomfortable.)

Yay!! That is so exciting! I have heard that they change dramatically during the first 12 months. And definitely after reading your review I know that mine will get much softer and might even be able to touch someday! LOL ;) :p anyways you look so great and they look so natural on your body! So happy for you!

Here's a short video to show where my implants are at softness-wise. Look, I can finally squish them together!

They look so soft and squishy! Thanks for sharing

P.S. Would reeeeally love to see bathing suit pictures and with a push up bra. You don’t need one, but I’m dying to see the look with extra cleavage!

How are they now?? Are you able to push them together to get cleavage when you wear a tighter shirt or dress or bra? I too had a space like yours in between my breasts And right now I am really unhappy with the space. But looking at your progress and you review it looks like they are becoming quite squishy that you can squish them together. Can you do an updated picture? I’m about one month postop so I know I have a lot of dropping and fluffing to do, but your review definitely gave me hope that maybe I could push them up and they won’t appear like I have a large space. Thank you!

I feel the same as you! Did you get a photo? How are you getting on? I have the same problem.

When did they start to get closer? I am 4 weeks P.O. (also had 335cc) and have breastfed two as well, we are about the same size too :) could you please let me know. I am a bit sad I haven’t been able to get them close together...your video had given me some hope.

Hello! So sorry I didn’t reply earlier - I didn’t see the notifications! I am now a little bit over a year post-op and they continued to soften and become squishier. While I can get them closer together, they do not touch all the way unless forced. If I lie on my side they do touch. (My breasts were very far apart to begin with, so my doctor explained that it was unlikely that i’d be able to do so.

I will upload another video today or tomorrow to show you what I mean. Hang in there! They really do continue to settle within the year.

Six months post-op

User Avatar
pbfisher
It's been six months already! It's really flown by, I can't believe it. The first month after the surgery seemed to crawl and then I blinked and here we are. :)
I'm very, very happy with my results. I feel like they look super natural. I love the shape and while it's been a significant change, they suit my frame quite well and no one seems to notice (a friend of mine asked me what kind of bra I had on, and I hadn't realized that she didn't know haha).
I have no numbness at all any longer and to be honest, most days I never think about my breasts, which is probably the most welcome change. I was so self-conscious before and I hated having them touched or looked at. Now, I feel like I'm back to my self (plus a few cc's ;p)
Scarring-wise, things are coming along, though they are still fairly dark, which I was expecting. I'm going to continue applying the silicone scar cream and start with vitamin E, as my doctor suggested after six months. Also, they have softened up even more now and I can push them together easily. (I'll upload a video today as well to give a better idea.)
I get to wear underwire bras on again as of today, but I haven't gone shopping yet. I'd love to see these in a push-up bra just for fun, but this soft-cup, no underwire life has been soooo comfortable. Not sure I want to give that up!

WOOOOOW! They look fantastic and SO natural. I really want some now :) My doctor will probably be the same as you, so I am happy to see so beautiful results with the teardrop implants. So they feel soft? No hardness?
