First winter w implants

WORTH IT$7,600
Funny how even something like temperature can affect us, right? Being an outdoorsy kind of person, I am accustomed to finding ways to hike and run during the cold months. With these implants, tho, that’s been a little more interesting. They seem to feel best when snug as possible in a supportive bra. Since this is a change from previous winters when movement wasn’t affected by my bra choice, I’ve been adjusting and working on planning better than I’ve had to before. Not a hindrance to outdoor movement, of course, just another factor to consider as I layer up!
I’m also pleased with the softness and fullness which have come to characterize my breasts. Kinda wish I could go back to the me of last May (in the weeks after surgery) who felt like the implants were super high and tight and tell her it was all gonna work out fine lol .. grateful for a PS who knows her stuff!

I've heard that implants can feel chilly in cold weather! It's helpful to know what has worked for you when you're active outdoors in the winter.
I've been on the learning curve for sure! Happy to share! Glad you found it helpful!
I'm very slim like you 5ft 3 and 110lbs what size implants did you have ? And are they under the muscle ?
Hello! Yes, we chose under the muscle so there would be no protruding appearance around the shape of the implant. I got 300cc Mentor implants. I feel like they're just right for me! Best of luck on your journey!
I live in Alaska and am outdoors a lot for my job. I was just thinking about the cold and if it will be noticeable. Thanks for the heads up. I get mine done in June.
Heyyyyyyyy I love that you're an outdoorsy person! Happy my comments could assist as you prepare for the transition! Also what a world Alaska must be .. I've always been curious about it, I admit. Best to you!
Why are you covering them in the last photo when you are showing them in the first two pictures, they are perfect for your body.
Just different "styles" if you will lol .. and thank you for your compliment!
Thank you for sharing your pictures. I am 3 weeks post op at 5’3, 106lbs and got 280 cc sientra implants. They are so high and have not dropped and maybe even still swollen. I have been worrying for a week that I went too big for my frame ( I don’t even have a 2 finger gap in between mine so tight) but your progress pictures have helped calm me down and I hope they will settle nicely like yours!
Oh I'm sure they will! It's just a waiting game for the natural process to win out. You sound like you aimed for a perfect size! Hang in there and trust your body to do what it does :)

Here are some recent shots of my girls. They feel so great - soft and perky and no pain at all anymore. As you can see, they sit kinda far apart so cleavage is more of an achievement than the natural hang of things. Which is fine, actually, as I can wear low cut shirts without being “all out there” if that makes sense. Unless I want to be, of course ;)

Amazing transformantion
Thank you! I'm loving them!
The reason your results look so good is because they look like you before just larger. Not overdone and the sit apart like your original position..bravo
What a thoughtful comment! Thank you for taking time to express it. :)
Anytime, I am sure you are very pleased with your results. Take care
They look great!! Dropped into perfect place.
An observation I have made myself :) even if the early pictures make their placement look a little wonky haha .. Grateful my PS knew what she was doing
They look great. Fit you perfect. Congrats
Congrats on the great BA!! Fits you perfectly
It was money well spent! For me, at least. Thanks for your kind words

Pics to go with 10 week post

Replies (5)

So I hv to say U look Awesome! I hv seen a lot of pics on here. I’m happy I came across yours. I’m 5’2 110lbs in shape as well. Hardly any fat. I’ve had 5 kids n breastfeed all. N I am a 32A. I know now what I want to go with or suggest. I, like U, am worried about them being seen. Just bcuz of hardly any fat n being small. If I’m correct you went with a 300 which is a C? Thank you for sharing. Now I need to find someone here in Tucson Arizona.
Hi!!!! Glad to meet someone who sounds so similar to me :) .. 300cc might be a C for some people but definitely not for me lol .. with my small circumference rib cage, I wear 28-30 size band so my cup size ends up being F-G with the 300cc. The trickiest part of being XS naturally and having the implants is finding clothes that are fitted enough for my small circumference but with enough stretch to all my boobs some room .. not a terrible problem to have, tho. Anyone who knows about my implants had been surprised at how natural they look, which I take as a compliment that I'm not too obnoxious lol
You look fantastic!!!
Thank you!
Wow!!! Dayum!!!
Thanks!
You look fantastic. Congratulations!!!
Thank you :)
You look amazing! So hard to find before and after photos of women my age.
