1 Year Anniversary! Stats: 5’3 107lbs 400UHP Mentor Implants

I can’t believe it’s been one year since my surgery! I should have done more updates but life happens. A full time job and 2 toddlers can make you forget what time and day it is! I sometimes want to completely forget about updating my status, but I remember how useful these reviews were in my research, the days before surgery. I wanted to see the long term results and most people would just post updates a few months post op. There are a couple of ladies who are really dedicated in posting frequent updates and share their experiences to help those who are considering breast augmentation. You know who you are and you rock, ladies!
For those who are still searching and still on the fence and wondering if it’s worth it. For me, it is definitely worth it! I love my breasts now and how they fit it with the rest of my body. They have given me back the self confidence that kind of faded after having 2 kids. It basically brings back the breasts I had prior to my babies, but perkier and a little bigger :).
Since my last review, they have dropped a little more and finally settle into their pockets. A few months ago I noticed that my left felt harder and sit a little higher than my right, which has always been the stubborn one that refused to drop. I was a little concerned and was really afraid that it was a form of capsular contracture. I started massaging it more and took Singulair daily for a month. It felt a little softer and seemed to drop a little more. I wanted to call and see my doctor right away but his schedule and mine did not work out. Anyway, I’m pretty sure now that it was not capsular contracture, but just a matter of differences in my anatomy that finally show through. My right was always bigger than my left and the crease was not the at the same level as that of leftie. So naturally I think the right has more coverage (tissue) for the implant and therefore it feels a little softer. My husband can’t tell the difference but I can. My left still sits a little higher than my right and is not as soft. I have come to accept that it is my natural anatomy and do not expect perfect symmetry at this point. Nevertheless, I will try to make time to see my surgeon to really rule out any problems. I wonder how many on here are still religiously making those post op appointments? I’m just so lazy!
Overall, they have fluffed and dropped some more in the past 2 months so for those who are in the early post op days/months, be patient! They are soft but not like my natural deflated boobs before lol. I love that they are so perky to the point that I forget to put on my bra when I go to work! Thank God for jackets! I feel so much more attractive wearing anything that is strapless or spaghetti straps! I no longer have to come up with contraptions/methods to inflate and keep them up. That alone, for me, is worth the money! The thing I notice the most now is when I lie on my left, I can feel my implant and it is a little harder and not as comfortable as when I lie on my right. Anyone else experienced this? Besides this I really have nothing negative to say about my whole experience.
I may not be on here as often as I should, but I usually get back whenever there is a questons. And I DO read your comments! Feel free to ask me any questions. This forum was very helpful to my journey and I hope I can pay it forward.

6-month update

Hi gorgeous ladies,
I have not been on here to stalk all of your profiles on a daily basis, but I have checked in once or twice and know that most of you are still looking beautiful :). I am now 6 months postop and have been so busy that I almost forgot to do an update! ????
I am still extremely happy with the surgery, and my results. The size is perfect (huge to me still but not crazy)! They are definitely softer and I hope they will continue to be. I think if I had gotten the lower profile , it’d be a little softer? But I’m comparing them to my deflated skin bags before, which felt very very saggy soft lol.
Scars: the left size definitely looks better. Right size is a tiny bit raised and darker. I am alternating between the Mederma night scar therapy and the silicone strips, which for some reason make me itchy time to time.
Movement: I do feel them moving when doing certain exercises or movements, but I wouldn’t call it animation deformity. I’m sure most of you can relate on this.
Sensitivity: I still don’t have 100% full sensitivity yet. I think the bottom halves are still a little numb.
I honestly feel that they are part of me and often forgot that I had surgery until I caught someone staring at my boobs! Lol
I’m posting some pics of me while my husband and I were on a short trip to Cozumel. I don’t have any full naked pics of them now, but if anyone wants to see, I’ll find the time to do it later.

Confession of a shopaholic!

I am 14 weeks post op, and I am a shopaholic! ????. I can’t help but browse through all retailers’ websites and think everything will look good on me! I end up buying a lot, and I mean a lot, of clothes thinking I’ll prob return 3/4 of it. Nooo, I end up keeping at least 3/4 of it! These boobs make everything looks so good, from backless, strapless, deep v-neck, low neck, to halter, cross back! Everything looks so damn good. I don’t have to think about what bra to wear because I can just go without one! OMG, I need help! Ladies, do you have the same problem? ????????
