My Breast Augmentation Journey: A Two-Year Reflection March 3, 2023 – March 3, 2025

This journal, spanning the past two years, chronicles a deeply personal journey – one marked by physical healing, profound personal growth, and a deepening sense of self-acceptance.
Two years ago, I made a decision that would forever alter the landscape of my life: to undergo breast augmentation with 580cc IDEAL IMPLANTS. What initially began as a physical transformation has evolved into something far more significant. It has become a profound path to inner wholeness, a tangible reflection of my deeply held inner truth, and a daily affirmation of the authentic self that resides within.
These digital pages document the inevitable ups and downs of any significant journey, the moments of quiet self-discovery, the small but meaningful personal victories, and the unwavering sense of "rightness" that has accompanied each passing month. Through the unexpected challenges of seromas, the diligent application of scar creams, the often-frustrating quest for the perfect bra fit, and the quiet breakthroughs in self-acceptance, I have learned that the physical body possesses a remarkable capacity for healing – and so too does the human spirit.
I am, and will always be, proud to be a man. My choice to have breasts does not diminish or alter that fundamental aspect of my identity; rather, it completes it in a way I had long yearned for.
This journal serves as a heartfelt celebration of authenticity, a testament to personal courage, and an enduring expression of the deep love and acceptance I hold for the body I have grown into – a body that now more fully reflects the man I have always been inside. Here's to two years of living in my own truth – and to the many more authentic and fulfilling years that still lie ahead.
With deep gratitude, quiet pride, and absolutely no regrets!!!

13 Months to 24 Months Post Op.

I had a breast augmentation completed in March of 2023. 1 year has passed since then and I'm feeling pretty good. I'm looking for other "guys" that has had this procedure done or guys who are thinking to have it done and have questions. I would like to start a group to help other guys that are interested in having a breast augmentations and have questions. I would like this to be a support group also. Just putting feelers out there to see how many would be interested in such a group???

May 9th 2024 – 14 Months, Post-Op
Just a few words; My left breast is still dropping and starting to a line with my right breast as you can see by the updated photo collage. I have been pretty well, have met a couple other guys who have had this procedure done and it is nice talking with them about it. Still trying to lose some weight, I have a feeling that this will be a futile attempt but I'm still trying.

June 6th 2024 – 15 Months, Post-Op
Everything is coming along I believe nicely, my scar under my right breast is healing nicely but my troubled left breast is healing much slower. There is a big difference in the two healing.

I have been looking for products that will help with the scarring and decided on Mederma scar cream. I will try for several months and let everyone know how it is going. There are other products out there, just need to find them and give them a try.

Other than this, life has been great. I love my breasts and wish I would have had my Breast Augmentation 20 years ago, but better late than never as they say. I am very happy with my results.
One problem I have been having is trying to find the perfect bra to wear. Still searching for it......More next month.

August 1, 2024 – 17 Months Post-Op
I have been using Merderma scar cream (night time) since June 11th and Vit. E during the day. Right breast I think there is significant change from photos in June left breast not so much but a little, it did get a late start with the healing process compared to my right breast. I'll let you decide, here a couple of photo's.

I also found another bra fit calculator that has several different measurements. With the measurements in & calculated, this bra fit calculator says I should be wearing a 42DDD bra. Guess what, I have tried on several and some do fit and fit nice but it depends on the brand of the bra also. Keep that in mind if you use it. Here is the link:
https://www.abrathatfits.org/calculator.php

So with this calculator I went from a 44D to a 42DDD, so in reality, if I'm we wearing a size 44 bra the band should be DD. I did order a couple just to see if this is correct. That is the sister size of 42DDD.

Bra Update August 3, 2024; Go figure, 42DDD bras fit perfectly. Some brands are a little tight and I have tried its sister size of 44DD and they fit perfectly also. I am so happy that I have finally found my bra size. Now I just need to find a good t-shirt bra or an everyday type of bra. The bras that I have are half lace, would just like to find a plain jane bra with just fabric and no lace. So, 44DD is the best fit and some brands that are not that tight in the band 42DDD works well also. I just can't believe I'm either a DDD or DD depending on the band that I'm wearing. The bra calculator is pretty darn accurate for sure.

August 27, 2024; Incision update: Just a quick note, I have been using Merderma scar cream (night time) since June 11th and Vit. E during the day. I think there is a slight difference in the scaring looks. I think to the better side of things, but who knows, could be my wishful thinking. I will take photo's next week and you can see for yourselves and I can't believe next week will be 18 months since my BA. Time has surely flown by.

Tuesday, September 3rd, 2024 on August 30th, 2024, just received ScarAway silicone scar gel from Amazon, I am going to add this to the Merderma night scar cream and see what happens. I will keep using the vit E as needed. I will give an update on this in the next month or so.

I still can't believe in a couple of days it will be 1 ½ years since my BA. The past 18 months have flown by despite all the mishaps I have had with my left breast. I know my breast are not perfect but what can I expect from having a seroma in my left breast and it has taken longer to heal. They are still uneven and my right breast shifted to the right a little but they are still mine and I still have no regrets having my breast augmentation. I thing I could do and I'm kicking around the idea is having breast implant revision and going to 600cc and see if they can straighten up my breasts, but that is just an idea at the moment. I will update with photo's at the 18th month mark on September 5th.

TOMORROW!!!
Time has sure flown by since my Breast Augmentation last year. Tomorrow, September 5th, 2024 will be 18 Months Post-Op for me. 1 1/2 years has flown by, I just can't understand where the time goes at all. I'm just glad my breasts seem to be healthy and finally healed. My left breast was healing close to a year. I really didn't think I was going to be able to keep them because of my left breast, that was my greatest fear if you can believe that. Not that I had a infection and it wasn't healing but I am not going to be able to keep my precious breasts. I do understand what the woman go through with getting breast implants. Your mind races and if there is no one to talk with about it, I'm sure that in it's self would be enough to stress the hell out of you. My breasts might not be the perfect looking BREASTS but I love them just the same. I still have no regrets after 1 1/2 years. I still smile in the mirror if you know what I mean. Thanks guys for listening.....

September 5th, 2024-18 Months Post-Op (1 ½ years).

It is finally here, I still can't believe it has been
1 ½ years since I had my Breast Augmentation. This past 18 months have flown by like I said earlier. Very happy with the results, still no regrets. Everyone has been great about it. I have not changed my dressing style, I continue to dressed the same way I have always dressed. I get stares and smiles at times but it is what it is. I'm a guy with female breasts. I know they are not perfect in anyway but they are mine. My breasts have come a long way since that first infection or I should say liquid build up in my left breasts. (Seroma) It has taken the left breast a little longer to drop because of it but I'm still happy with its progress. The only thing I worry about is Capsular Contracture. This I do not want but have a feeling that is what's going to happen here in the next year or so. Just a feeling and I hope that I'm wrong for sure. All in all I love my breasts and I feel like I should of always had them. My wife says that I look like I should have looked like and she says I look normal now like I always have should. It has been a bumpy ride but I has been a great journey for me. I understand more now than I ever have in the past what people go through when getting breast implants or transitioning. It has opened my eyes to the future a lot. I just wish I had more time on this earth to enjoy the ride longer. Nothing health wise is wrong with me, just to let you know, but I am old and nature will take place eventually.

December 09, 2024 – Last week was my 21 Month Post Op mark and I believe my breasts are doing well. My belief anyway, other people might think differently but doesn't matter what other people think about my breasts because they are mine and mine alone. I do believe the scar gel is working from the first time I started using it back in June.

Life is going great and I believe my breasts are finally in the position that they are going to be in. Like I said back in August, the bras I wear now depending of the brand of them are either a 42DDD, 44DD, or 46D. All sister sizes they are so my breasts turned out a little bigger than what my PS said they were going to be but I'm not complaining at all. I am trying to lose weight at this time so, if I do, my breasts will get even bigger when my band size gets smaller with the weight that I lose. I would like to get down to 205 to 215lbs. I would be great to get down to that weight again.

I have been trying to work on enlarging my nipples, with less than happy results. I need a better way to research this and find out some different way to enlarge them. I have been using vacuum or nipple pumps, a constant pressure to enlarge them. It seems to work but does not last long. A person suggested using Momcozy breast pumps and I will have to look into these.

December 26, 2024 – Log entry – How I feel about having Female Breasts.

**Several days ago, I was asked why I wanted female breasts and after quite some time thinking about it and trying to put it into words that explain it so everyone can understand my thoughts, this is what I came up with:

1. I've always felt a significant disconnect between my inner self and my physical appearance. This feeling has been a constant source of personal discomfort and has led me to explore what would make me feel completer and more authentic. After a great deal of introspection, I've come to the conclusion that breast augmentation is a crucial step for me to achieve that sense of wholeness.

2. It's important to emphasize that I identify and live as a man. I work in a traditionally masculine profession, dress in men's clothing, and maintain all aspects of my male identity. This decision is not about transitioning or changing my gender identity in any way. It's about aligning my physical form with my internal sense of self.

3. This is a very personal decision, and I haven't taken it lightly. I've done extensive research, consulted with medical professionals, and thoroughly considered the potential risks and benefits. I’ve also had open and honest conversations with my wife and family, and I'm incredibly fortunate to have their unwavering support. Their understanding and acceptance have been invaluable throughout this process.

4. This isn't about conforming to societal norms or seeking external validation. It’s about a deep personal need to feel more comfortable and confident in my own skin. I believe that breast augmentation will significantly improve my self-image and overall well-being, allowing me to live more fully as the man I know myself to be. This change is about becoming more authentically myself, within the context of my established male identity and with the love and support of my family.

5. Having female breasts is something I deeply love and embrace. They are no longer just a part of my body, but a reflection of who I am, a natural and beautiful aspect of my identity. They feel like they belong to me, like they are an integral piece of my being that I have grown into. Every time I see them or feel them, I sense a connection, a comfort, and a sense of pride in how they shape and define me. They are not just a physical feature, but a part of my journey, and I accept them with love and appreciation. They are mine, and I wouldn't want them any other way.

January 3, 2025-Update-22 Months PO
For the last several months I have been trying to enlarge my nipples so they are bigger and stand out more than they do now. It has been fun using different things on my nipple for suction. It does get painful but then I rest them for a few days so they can recoup. Then start the process up again. I try to use suction on them 15 to 20 minutes a day, so far I have seen some increase that has not gone away over time. Hopefully this is permanent.

March 2025 marks two years since my breast augmentation, and honestly, the time has flown by. Looking back, it feels so natural now that it’s hard to remember life before. As a man, this was a profound step in completing a part of myself that had always felt missing. It wasn’t a decision I made lightly—there were consultations, extensive research, and deep reflection. But in the end, it was the right choice, a crucial piece of the puzzle that made me feel whole.

Recovery wasn’t easy. Two weeks after surgery, I developed a liquid pocket in my left breast, a setback that required patience and care. Yet, during the healing process, I experienced an unmistakable sense of correctness—a sentiment that has only grown stronger with time.

This journey has never been just about the physical changes, though those are significant. It is about personal fulfillment, increased confidence, and a greater sense of belonging in one's own body.

I know that everyone’s path is different—what’s right for one person may not be for another. But for me, this was absolutely the right decision. I have no regrets. In fact, I’m profoundly grateful for the positive impact it has had on my life. These past two years have been a period of immense growth, and I’m excited to see where the future takes me.

My decision to undergo breast augmentation wasn’t about sexuality or changing who I am—I have always been, and will always be, proud to be a man. But for as long as I can remember, something felt missing, an emptiness I couldn’t ignore. This choice allowed me to finally feel at home in my body, giving me the confidence and comfort I had spent a lifetime searching for.

For almost 30 years, I felt like a part of me was missing.

March 3rd 2025 – 24 Months PO

Today, March 3, 2025, marks two years since I got my breasts, and I can honestly say it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. My breasts are filled with 580cc IDEAL IMPLANTS, structured implants that have given me the confidence and comfort I always sought. This isn’t just an anniversary—it’s a celebration of feeling whole and embracing a body that truly feels like mine.

I’m a guy. I always have been, and I have no plans to transition. My breasts don’t change that; they only affirm it. They’ve helped me feel more like myself, more at home in my own skin. I have no regrets, only deep gratitude for the journey that brought me here.

Two years later, I feel comfortable, confident, and most importantly, I feel like I’ve found my normal. And that’s something I wouldn’t trade for anything.

1year post-op


1-year Post-Op, March 7, 2024

Here it is 1 week before my first year with my breasts. With all the miss haps I have had with my left breast, I believe they are looking quite well. Right breast on the other hand is developing a indentation like my left breast did before the infection, I pray this is not the case but I will keep everyone updated on this situation. I love my breasts and do not wish to give them up. Selfish, yes but they are mine.

Thursday, March 7th 2024, it is here, I am 1 year Post-Op today, I really can't believe its been 1 year already since my Breast Augmentation. Where has the time gone?????

Looking back over the past year and the problems that I have had with my left breast and at times, I have been asked was it worth it???? I only have one thing to say, it was worth every penny.

580cc is the perfect size for me. I really have no regrets at all with the size that I have chosen but if I could do it all over and know what I know now?? I would of went a little larger. (600 to 700cc sized implants) The implants that I have (580cc sized implants) are big implants compared to other implants that I have seen other get. It would have been too much if I would of went that big.

For other guys out there thinking of getting breast implants go with your gut feeling and what the plastic surgeon recommends, they really know the size of implant that will work with your body make up.

I have no regrets really and very happy with the outcome of my breast augmentation March of last year.
