550cc Saline Natrelle Implants 26yrs 5'2 133lbs

Hey guys, it's officially been a year now! And I gotta say this process was nothing like i thought it would be. After all the research I did trying to prepare myself my surgery ended up being in a world all on its own.
It is a year post op as of April 27 and let me tell you, they are still changing. They are actually boob shaped now compared to tissue boxes on my chest. My problem leftie has made bounds and leaps and I'm still noticing changes. Now, from other women who have had tight chest muscles and bigger implants like me... A lot of them also said it was well over 12 months to their final results. Which if I'm being honest is very frustrating. Especially when you're on a forum like this where others are seeing almost immediate results and you feel like yours is botched and that you wasted your money.
It was a roller coaster for me. My confidence was all over the place because one day I thought they looked great and then another I didn't want my SO to see me topless because of how i thought they looked.
But now after they filled in and dropped I feel great. I can tell my left is still a little high but my cleavage line is no where near my collar bone like it was. I'm fitted more comfortably into a 36DDD. I still wear my strap on and off mostly because there are still days where my left boob feels sore, like morning boob and the strap gives me that relief.
My right side did that when i noticed the most movement from it so I feel like it's still settling in even after 12 months.
As far as how they feel, if i'm sitting relaxed i have to really try to find the implant they feel very natural and soft. And my SO always makes a point to tell me exactly how "squishy" they are every time he cops a feel. Which he's not wrong, it really does feel like my natural breast tissue just got bigger. If I pull my shoulders back they firm up where I can see the round shape of the implant but overall i'm very happy that I went with saline. I haven't had any rippling and my favorite part of having them is the insane amount of underboob I can achieve.
I have been so excited about all the sexy clothes i can find and they just look so flattering now. I finally feel like I've achieved the look I was going for over a year ago.
Even though without a bra on my left nipple is still a little lower than my right I'm really not upset by it anymore it just makes them look even more natural to me.
And i used to hate how tube shaped my old boobs looked when I bent over without a bra. Now they look amazing and full and I find myself snapping pictures left and right to send to SO which he hasn't complained yet lol.
But it's a great feeling to catch yourself undressing in the mirror and think "Whoa... is that me?" And that's basically how ive felt for the past few months.
Oh and my scars have healed up amazingly! I did use silicone scar gel religiously until I ran out then i didn't put anything on them. I have to really pull my underarm taught to be able to see it. Otherwise it just looks like an armpit crease and I'm thankful I chose the transaxillary placement.
Other weird points of having new boobs. My strength is still majorly reduced, it feels like i'm starting over from scratch. If i flex my pec muscles my boobs do move with them like I know some implants do. I think they call it animation deformity but mine isn't dramatic, they still stay in place they just kinda perk up a bit?
Every once in awhile when i'm massaging them I can feel a "squish/pop" feeling like there's water moving around in there.
My areolas have definitely gotten bigger, which I think just comes with big boobs but I never lost any feeling in them, if anything they have gotten a little more sensitive. I haven't had anyone ask me yet if they were fake. I'm pretty open about it and have told the majority of my close friends and family, but as far as other people I haven't recieved any questions about them. With all my clothes on they look very natural for my body and some days I think they are too big other days i think they are just right. I dont think if given the chance, that i would go any bigger than my 550

Here's a few pictures of how they look now.
They are still changing and are looking more and more natural everyday. My left is still a little boxy and hasn't quite rounded out like my right. My nipples are still a little low.
I missed my 6 month po appointment and haven't had a chance to reschedule but i'm happier with them everyday and i'm feeling so much better about them.
I bought some cute lingerie before my surgery in anticipation of my bigger size. I just tried it on for the first time since i started liking the way they looked and i have to say it made me feel amazing. So within the next few weeks i will probably branch out and start buying more that compliment them like that.
Incisions look the same still. Very red but they still hide well even with my arms up they are in the crease. So i'm very glad i chose that placement.
It might not be ideal for everyone, but i knew that for me my scars don't fade fast and they usually get red and become keloid before starting to fade.
And i didn't want to risk that with a scar underneath my crease because i value my underboob look.
This recovery is almost certainly out of the normal for most because it's taking so long but i'm starting to see more and more that it's most likely going to take a year for everything to sit where i want them. And i'm okay with that now. Because they look so much more natural now.
The only thing i'm waiting on is for them to fluff more to where i don't have so much upper pole and my nipples come up to where they used to sit

Any changes i notice are really small, the pop squish feeling in my left side has gone away for the most part and it's slowly starting to round out more on the sides which is what i'm waiting for.
I also still notice that i'm all upper pole right now and from the side they do look droopy. I'm crossing my fingers just hoping that once they start fluffing more that will fix itself and i'll have more of the lower pole that i originally wanted.
Because of how much upper pole i have right now every bra i wear looks like a push up. Even lose sports bras.
Still wearing my band and massaging when i remember to. Starting to feel more intimate now that i can wear more things that show off the girls a little more. Now that they aren't up in my armpits they look good in low cut shirts. Without clothes i still have to angle a camera right to get the look i want without them looking saggy.
The one thing i love the most about them right now is how soft and real they feel, i find myself just squishing them at random times during the day and i notice how much they bounce going down the stairs.
I'm almost 6 months po at this point and i'm trying to stay patient because a lot of what i'm hearing is that this whole transaxillary process could take up to a year to see final results. And i keep seeing little changes still so i might not make the final call til then.
