9 Months Post Update
What an interesting journey it has been since Day 1. My boyfriend joked that the doctor should give a pamphlet detailing what to expect in the months to come post-surgery. I many times asked google, is this ________ symptom post BA normal? I was concerned for a long time about scar tissue in my right breast, which turned out to be the edge of my implant.
One thing that I had never read about but wish I had known about getting a BA under muscle, is what happens when you're pec muscles tighten. I knew about flex deformity, but not about how when I moved my arm, my breasts would become hard because my pec muscle had tightened. This has taken me awhile to accept and not be self-conscious about during intimate situations. I'm serious, they can feel like rocks...very sexy!
Beyond that, I have had no pain or issues. I measure in at a 30-32 DDD, larger than expected but I don't think they actually look that large. They are aesthetically beautiful, but I always tell people that they better be...I paid for them! :) I have no scars left by the surgical incisions. Dr. Peterson performs the "secret scar" technique transaxillary. As advertised, I have no scar!
I was concerned about my lack of cleavage for a while, but have excepted it as apart of my anatomy (my breasts were already quite far apart) vs. an error the doctor made or size of implant.
I'm happy with my decision, I definitely feel more feminine and curvaceous. That being said, the surgery hasn't changed my life or my self-esteem. It has proved to me that breasts are just breasts and not a fix for any larger issues with oneself. Would I get them taken out in 10 years or have them redone? I don't know, I'm really 50/50, I have many years to decide!

30 days post
No more pain! Subtle changes aesthetically. 2 more weeks till I can workout- let the countdown begin! Thinking less about them, and feeling more that they are apart of my body. Not sure how I lived with out them. They definetly make me feel sexier naked, and in clothing as well. Just waiting to see how things progress and drop. I'll check in again at 2 months.
20 Days PO
Starting to feel tired of being frequently sore, with twinges, aches, and nipple sensitivity. My whole body has been very sore the last few days and I'm realizing that the effect of holding my body in new ways to protect my breasts has been taxing. I went to the PS about the lumps in my breasts and he said that they are scar tissue from numbing injections he placed at the bottom of my breasts. Hoping they will dissipate in time! He said everything looks like it's healing well and my next follow up is in 3 months.
My breasts feel softer but still don't feel or look natural. I try to remind myself that I'm only 20 days PO and that they have a long way to go! Since my implants were never high, I feel like I may be looking at the "finished product"..I'm curious how they will settle in in time. I'm hoping they come closer together on their own, as of now it takes alot of effort to get them to touch.
I'm grumpy about having to continue to sleep on my back (for the next 2+ months) and wear a bra 24/7 for the next 2+ months. My PS has encouraged me to always wear a bra at night to help the implants from drifting apart. It would be amazing to sleep on my stomach again, but I try to remind myself that it was the sacrifice I made for implants.
I never went through a "boobie blues" phase, so maybe this is my time! I'm longing for being able to do yoga, cuddle my boyfriend comfortably, and not have to worry about my breasts all the time!

Board Certified Plastic Surgeon
10 W. Scenic Pointe Dr., Draper, Utah
I had already had several consultations for breast augmentation when I met Dr. Peterson. After meeting him, I knew that I wanted him to perform my BA. He was very informative, took time to answer all of my questions, easy to talk to, and detail oriented. I loved that his wife was present during my consultation and helped me with sizing, as she was very knowledgeable. The surgery and post-op process were both very easy. I no longer needed pain meds after 36 hours, and was back to daily life in just a few days. My breasts are already beautiful, just 2 weeks PO, and I love that Dr. Peterson gave the option of a transaxillary approach. Since surgery, his staff have been helpful in answering questions and responding to any concerns. I truly feel lucky to have found Nuvista!
