I haven’t been on here for a while, but I wanted to make sure I posted my results now that I’ve finally surpassed the one year post-op point! I’m still incredibly pleased with my breasts and feel more confident that ever! My scars are nearly invisible and I just couldn’t be happier with how everything turned it. I’d like to send a huge thank you to anyone’s that’s been following my breast augmentation journey and either given me advise or encouragement! This has been an amazing platform for me to express myself, feel supported and to learn and I’m really very thankful to you all! I hope my future endeavors go well and I’m sending good luck and good vibes to anyone who’s going through any surgeries now or in the near future!

What is your final bra size after a year?

Hi caliroxi, So this is a bit of a difficult question to answer as bra sizes are (unfortunately) not standardized, but since I buy most if not all of my bras from VS I'll just share that size- which ended up being (and staying at) 32DDD.

Hello ladies!! It’s been about 3 months since my last update. I’m currently 9 months PO and still don’t have any regrets! I’ve even gotten to the point where my boobies look and feel so real that I sometimes forget that they aren’t lol They’re squishy, bouncy, soft and they’ve dropped into place perfectly. The drop and fluff is real girls!! Have patience! Bikini season was so much fun this Summer!! I bought an unnecessary amount of bikinis and I love the way I look in all of them! Also, my scars are nearly invisible, so my confidence level is even higher knowing I don’t have to hide ugly scars. Well, that’s about the extent of my update and I hope my journey has helped some of you in your decision making. I also hope all of you are still doing well and loving your new additions. Good luck and happy healing to anyone that hasn’t gone through surgery yet!! I’ll post another update at 1 year PO. Until then... xx

Hi, when did drop and fluff happen for you. I went with my surgeons recommendation and I hate them but I'm only 4months post op. They look SOOOO FAKE! Like tennis balls rammed under my skin

Honestly, it can take 6 months to a year for them to fully drop and fluff... I wasn't completely satisfied with mine until about a year PO. I love them now though. I'm sorry you're not happy with your results, but try not to be too critical of yourself and be patient. You may be surprised at how much they change over time.

6 Months PO (w/pictures)

Well, I’ve finally reached 6 Months PO and I’m feeling great! My results are better than I could’ve ever imagined and I’m so glad that I made this decision! My scars are nearly gone and just in time for summer too!! I’ve never felt so confident in a swimsuit or lingerie as I do now! My “underboob” area is sill slightly numb, but the feeling is coming back more and more each month that passes. My nipples are also still hypersensitive, but it’s not much of a bother at all until I’m being intimate with my husband (any rough touching or nibbling kind of hurts to be honest)... BUT if that’s the worst thing I have to deal with- I’ll take it! Other than that, everything else is pretty much back to normal. I have my 6 Month PO appointment on Tuesday, June 11th and then I won’t be seen again until my one year boob-iversary lol
Hopefully everyone else is still feeling sexy and loving their results! Until next time... xx
