Just a quick update after nearly 2 years post-op.
Looks: honestly they look good, I am more proportioned with my hips and butt and they look great under clothes or with a sports bra or form fitting tops.
Feel: this is where I’m conflicted. They’re not as soft as I thought they would be softer even after nearly 2 years and the softest silicone available. They don’t jiggle or feel as natural as real boobs. If I could do it over I would have gone with a smaller implant but I would’ve added fat transfer.
When I’m lying on my back they are actually still quite hard and very firm, when I raise my arms the skin that stretches over the girls is still tight. Maybe after more time and the skin stretches a bit more they will settle further and become softer.
When I jump, run or shimmy, they don’t bounce or jiggle like real boobs. They actually feel a little bit like mini torpedoes, The nipple situation requires thick nipple tape even under a thicker bra or sports bra because mine protrude a LOT. Embarrassingly.
When standing naked they feel more natural. But it still feels like there’s a foreign object in my body.
Now almost 2 years in - in retrospect I wish I would’ve gone with a smaller implant since I didn’t have much fat to begin with. The natural fat is what would make it feel more natural.
I feel as though I went from one problem which was too small and not proportioned - to too big and too hard/firm. Sigh…#firstworldproblems.
Knowing what I know now I probably would not have gone through with the BA. And at my age when I have them removed in 10-15 years I’ll be left with saggy skin and deflated boobies. :-(

1 Year Post-Op - UPDATE from small B to full C
Just wanted to post what the girls look like after a full year of recovery and my thoughts on my BA Journey, in retrospect.
They've softened up a lot over the past year, they're now more jiggly and the skin has stretched significantly. However, when I raise my arms - they're still pretty hard and they don't really bounce like real breasts when I run or jump. I think they look quite nice in photos, but in person, they're obviously hard when I touch them still.
I've pretty much had to reconfigure my wardrobe. I have a narrow frame, and used to be able to wear cute little tops with my small B cups. But now, the chest area is too tight and I had to toss them all away and make room for new tops. I have to be careful with bathing suits as well, because i've got up a size now compared to before.
I still find them too big and don't think they look very natural on me. So I'm considering an explant surgery and use fat grafting instead for a full B cup rather than a full C.
I wish I loved them as much as I thought I would. Do your research and find the best surgeon you can afford. Someone who has a great reputation and experience. More importantly - if you can - feel someone's implants to know what you're getting yourself into. If i had known they'd be so hard even a year later, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble and spent so much time and money. :(

good morning. sorry to disturb you. I wanted to ask you if you are happy with the "mini profile" , after two years? I'm going to have the same, thing put on and I'm afraid that my breasts will fall out after a few years. thank you
Hi! Sorry for my late reply, I am happy with mini because I wanted a natural look and not a huge jump from my original size. Not sure what you mean by "fall out" though hehe. They've dropped and fluffed nicely but they do not look or feel as natural / jiggly as real boobs. Even with silicone. :-(
Hi, I honestly think they look beautiful and really natural on you. Your boobs would be an example of what I’d want for myself! However, it is how you feel that matters.
Thank you! I feel good with clothes on, but still a bit self conscious naked or intimate with a partner. They're not as soft as I'd hoped even after a year and half. After the skin stretches even more I hope they'll be softer and more jiggly like real boobs.
Hi, can you please post pictures with tops on? I'm debating between 245 - 260 cc thank youu
Honestly they look very natural with clothes on. The tighter the top tho, the bigger they look. But with normal loose fitting clothes they don't look fake at all. More proportioned than pre-BA. I actually wish I went smaller.
Can we trade!? Mine are feeling so small, yours are beautiful. Noticeable but still look super natural!
awww - y'know in retrospect I would love to, really. Lemme tell you why. You and I seem to have similar frames, I'm also 5'4" around 115lbs. I don't have much fat and my skin took a very long time (about 3 yrs) to stretch / drop & fluff. They still feel hard to the touch even now over 3 years later when I'm lying down or have my arms stretched upwards. I'm still self-conscious in intimate situations with a partner. They feel like little balloons when I lay down on my chest. If I had gone smaller, the fat I did have would envelop the implant and feel more natural. Yes - I admit - they "look" great, under clothes, and when I stand straight naked. But - they don't "feel" great. They don't behave like real boobs. So the question is - would you rather they looked small and felt great, OR, they looked great and felt fake? I hope you can eventually grow to love your new enhancement. It may look small now, but at least in photos - they look proportional, natural to your frame and once they drop & fluff they'll feel natural and part of your body as well. Hope this helps.
Thank you so much for this response it definitely did help! I should be more grateful these already feel like mine and aside from being really hard still, they already feel a pretty natural. I guess being so flat my whole life I was hoping to feel more feminine right away naked AND in clothes which I did not achieve so hopefully I can make you also feel better: ANY PERSON touching your boobs is having a damn good time I promise you that! I have so many guy friends that could not care one little bit if boobs are fake or not, most of them seem to prefer the fake ones! And enjoy the moments where you feel sexy and feminine in clothes/bathing suits because although mine look good naked, I’ll still have to wear a ultra push up bra to try and look sexy and I hate bras in general. Hopefully although you wish you were smaller it’s liberating for you to wear whatever you want and know you look amazing.
Thank you for your encouragement! It's great that you feel they're natural and yours - that's the most important that you feel good and are happy with your results. I agree I do feel more sexy & feminine and it's nice to finally fill out my bras now. I actually prefer bralettes now, must be the underwire making me uncomfortable with conventional bras. Hope you're having a smooth recovery without any complications!

Should have gone transaxillary
Actually I know people who have done that and they said the pain is very rough during recovery. I'm ok with periareolar as there was absolutely no pain and only I and my partner can see the minimal tiny scarring.
Thank you so much for your story and all the pics. I got ergonomix mini 220cc on 30th of November and wondering if the are too big for my frame (160cm / 53 Kilo) as I only wanted a small B/ B , coming from 34AA and now the look huge.
From what i see i love your result and how the look. That makes me hope … very natural shape and it looks as if they fit perfekt to your body. Best regards from Germany!

Thank you! Now, after almost 1 year post-op, they have dropped and fluffed nicely - however if i could do it all over again, i would've gone a bit smaller like you. I hope you're happy with your results and have a very smooth recovery!
Hi, can I ask your height and weight? :)
Hi, I'm 5'4" (164cm) and I weigh about 120lb (54kg)
They are sooo pretty! I hope I will have a result like this!
Are you happy with your result still? Also, may I ask how tall you are? And what was your breast width?
Hi, I'm ok with the result - honestly, I find them a bit too big though. I'm 164cm / 5'4"
BWD: 12 with periareolar incision.
