After the first month, they felt really soft and settled. Now, two months later, I feel like I am a normal person with my own breast tissue and no implants. That's how normal they feel to me now. They still have that snoopy and they may always look like that because I do have saggy breast tissue and did not have a lift. I do not regret it, since what I have now is far better than what I had before... and if anything, they just look more real and natural this way. I can tell that they finally settled because now I can start to feel the bottom breast tissue touching the skin below. I'm going to try to make a conscious effort to wear bras more often. I don't want tasting sagging anymore LOL! But, all in all, I love them. I don't feel that they are gigantic anymore and I don't try to hide them in public like I did. It took some adjusting. Now, when people in public look, I am taking back because I've already forgotten how big they are. How else can I say this? They just feel like me and I feel normal and I feel good! I still have to buy more clothes to show them off. So far, the clothes I bought, I thought show them off, but my boyfriend was pointing out that I was not showing enough skin, just profile LOL! The first two weeks are annoying because you will be impatient and you just want them to settle and look good and then, a month or two later, you're pretty much forget that you have them. I sleep on my side and sometimes I roll over and lay on my stomach and don't have any problems. They just feel like they are my regular breast now! Yay! To all of the ladies who have a shape like me, very much a "Pear", get this done and make sure you go Large! I now have more of an hourglass figure and my butt actually looks petite in comparison to my now large upper frame. Now, when I go to the gym, I have great pleasure in building up the lower area more and more because I can afford to gain more below! :-)

We have a similar story! I got implants w/o a lift, too. I actually like that they hang slightly...I wanted them to look as natural as possible and I think it looks more age-appropriate to not have them pushing up my chin, lol. Plus, the kind of lift I'd have gotten (a "donut" lift) would have been around my nipples, and I've seen photos of those turning out looking kind of off. You look lovely.

Exactly! Plus, I was scared to lose nipple sensation. I'm really pleased with the results. The 1st surgeon I talked to thought that maybe I should do it and I said "No way!". I'm glad I didn't.

You look fantastic!!! I think your surgeon did a great job! And I totally agree with you, I am pear shaped also and I feel much more proportionate and hourglass shaped compared to before. I'm 2 1/2 months post op and am also enjoying that they feel like a part of me now and not just stuck on, lol! Congratulations on a successful surgery! :-)

I ooh yes, 800cc! I almost went that big too! I cold have gone that big and I could have gone smaller and i would be just as happy :-)

I hear ya. I know now I'd have been ok with as low as 650s and still been happy. But I'm glad I went for it. My 800s are literally perfect for my frame. The only reason it sometimes irritates me about how big they are, is because I live in a country where literally NObody has big boobs. C is huge here...and that's not an exaggeration.
And I have like, H-Is. So, I have a VERY hard time getting bras and shopping in local stores for tops etc, is a challenge too.
But, that's all temporary and I love them. So, once I get a chance to visit the states again, you better believe I'm finding a Nordstroms and making my life much easier! No matter the cost. Lol.
But 700 or 800s are great! Not nearly as huge as people get the idea in their head! I swear, mine fit my body perfectly. They just look like they balance me out. So, I ignore all the XL CC haters.
They just don't know. And that's cool. I have great big ole boobiebags that I love. And so do you!!!! Enjoy! Have the breast day ever!

Just love that! You are correct, they really aren't THAT big, at leas not in relation to how tall and big-framed I am, but they do stand out and are not easy to 'fit' when it comes to certain bras and clothing. I've been very happy with the ability to find some bras in Target for now, but I am trying to find a T-shirt bra that doesn't cause the 'uni-boob' look by connecting them together in the front. I replaced a problem with a new set of problems, but I wouldn't go back for anything! :-)

I hear that. Definitely a trade off! But for most of us sooooooo worth it.

And size IS totally perspective, opinion, and completely varies per body type!

Good for you. And you ARE looking fab. And enjoying that new figure...and that's what's important... YOU'RE joy in all of it! Have a super day!

It’s funny how different sizes/ccs fit & fill out people differently. I started out a C cup, got 500cc and ended up an H cup. I think they compliment my body. They don’t look huge or too big for my frame. I am only 5’3” & weigh 124 lbs. I got a lift and honestly the scars aren’t that bad. They heal/fade quicker than I thought and I’m a slow healer. I just hit 10 mpo BL/BA and I’m glad I did it. Can’t lie though, the incisions from the BL was the scariest but I would tell everyone never let that hold you back. I know I love the confidence I’ve gained from having this sx done!

I hear ya. The confidence is the best part!
For me, I get very scared of visible scars. I still have a huge and obvious footlong scar from a surgery I had 18 years ago. It's faded white, but still indented on the tips and off colored and some nerve sensation is still missing! I still have scars from when I was a kid too. I heal from that stuff badly. So for me, I don't know how much faith I have in my scar healing abilities! Sad but true. :-/

Amen, lightblue! I didn't want them "high and tight". I wanted soft and pillowy and full. I'm both... too old for huge volley ball boobs and not interested in that look to begin with! I'm glad glad glad I didn't lift either.

So happy! They still need to settle more (snoopy boobs), but have come a long way. I need to make a dr appt for my 1 month check up. Only soreness in my right chest muscle/shoulder connector (like a pulled muscle) and the nipple soreness/sensitivity has decreased to almost nil. I'm still hoping they drop, fluff and look more round in 2 months to a year from now. They feel soft, malleable and I finally accept them as mine :-)

Thanks love! I finally don't feel like they're gargantuan! I am so thankful that the swelling went down. I don't have boob greed, I love them just the way they are. I would even satisfied if they were even smaller, but my man is over the moon! LOL!

As he should be! You might not have boob greed, but I do when I see your photos, lol! ;-) My PS wouldn't go any larger than 500, I didn't push it then but sometimes wish I had. I'm happy I had the surgery though and have no regrets, so glad I did it. I look forward to your updates, take care! Xoxo

I think so too...I just would hate to have them 'stick' this way forever! LOL! Thank you!

At a girl!! I'm a retired PC and the biggest complaint that we got was that they didn't go large enough. Your PC did an excellent job on a very tricky procedure. The implants are very well centered and have dropped very well. By your pictures you are the perfect candidate. If I had to say who are the most fun and full of life people I've ever met, they are the ladies who had the courage to get the larger size implants that are meant to be noticed. We saw ladies have the confidence to loose their looser boy friends, looser jobs and came in beaming. You look like one of them and are contagious just to be around!! At a girl !!

Most PSs would tell you that you need a lift. There is a new trend among PSs that offer and have experience with the XL implants, to use implants instead. I'm so glad you did and your simply amazing results are testament to a MUCH better way !!

Saw the doc for the first time since surgery a couple of days ago. Gave me the go-ahead to remove the steri-strips from my incisions. They are still high and slightly tight, but feeling more and more a part of me. My pecs are really sore under my armpits now...feels like when you tear a muscle. I'm so done with recovery and want them settled already... such a long process. Totally worth it though. My man is obsessed with them and posted a photo of me tanning on social media and I'm not particularly happy with the picture since they look deformed still. I bought a new sports bra and some cute going-out shirts I'll need to wear them without a bra!... I couldn't resist the cheap Target clothing while I was shopping there for a sports bra ;-) I online shopped for better bikini tops for when the ladies are the right, settled shape...can't wait! Can I do leg workouts yet? When can I do cardio again? I forgot to ask my PS. I'll need to call the office to see if they have a time frame to adhere to...otherwise, Internet and "RealSelf" research :-)
