Hi everyone! It's been about 6 weeks since my last update. 3 months has flown by. My "new" boobs feel like a part of my body now. I'm back to exercising like normal with the exception of push ups. Those are really hard to get back into but I'm slowly working on it.
I'm still struggling with my size choice. I think my surgeon did a beautiful job, and they are exactly the natural look I was after. BUT I guess I have boob greed BAD and wish they were a little more full with more projection. It REALLY bothers me and I ruminate on it, obsess over it really. I am strongly considering a revision and going with bigger implants. I want to give myself a little more time and maybe go through summer/bikini season to see how I am feeling once I can show them off a little more.
I do not feel confident wearing no bra or a bra without padding. I feel infinitely more confident with either the VS PINK lounge push up bra, or VS t-shirt push up bra (linked below). I'm wearing a size 32 D in the VS bra (I'm measuring a 30DD but those are really hard to find) attaching lots of pics for reference.

Seee I went a little bit bigger than you (235 and 250) and wish I would have gone a little smaller! Yours are perfect!!! How is you scar 2 months out? I am 6 weeks out and hoping the scar chills out some soon.

Hi! Thanks for letting me know how you feel! It's helpful! I feel like I'm chasing "perfection" and sometimes perfect is the enemy of good. I'm definitely going to give myself more time before making any decisions.
My scars are still a deep pink color, but I'm super pale and scars tend to take a while to fade on me. I'm using Biocorneum scar treatment on mine and my surgeon recommended using that 2 times a day for a year.
At 6 weeks my scars were pretty angry and I still had some spitting sutures...now they are much calmer than they were, looking good, and feeling good!

Hi! Thanks for sharing your journey! They look great and I'm jealous of your body Lol! I had mine done in February and asked for bigger but my surgeon didn't feel comfortable because of my size, frame and breast diameter. If I did, he claimed I would have to go extra high profile and have asymmetrical boobs because the implants would also be different sizes. I wish I had found a way to convince him or go with someone else because I see women who have posted on here with similar height, frame and size who got way bigger than mine and they're happy with no issues. Like you, I'm hoping with time, I'll accept them as well. Best wishes! :)

Pre-surgery journey and inspo
Reserved272182January 7, 2023
I had thought about breast implants from my teenage years, at 28 years old I began research on breast augmentation surgery and started to seriously persue the idea of getting breast implants. I spent over a year researching and looking for inspiration. I went into my consult knowing I wanted silicone, round, smooth implants and that I wanted them placed submuscularly with an inframammory incision. I knew I wanted very natural looking and that moderate profile would probably help me best accomplish that look.
I had considered 3 surgeons local to me, but scheduled my first consultation with Dr. Killion. I was drawn to Dr. Killion because of how natural her work looked, and I was inspired by her work in breast reconstruction. I really enjoyed meeting with her and after the consult I decided to book with her and not proceed with any other consultations.
I learned through the "try on process" that Dr. Killion would choose the appropriate diameter options of the breast implant but I could choose the CC and the projection. My breast diameter is 10.5 so I needed to stay with an implant size within 5 millimeters or so of 10.5 cm. I was attracted to the moderate profile implants : the 190 cc implants which were 10.5 cm diameter, but felt the 210 cc 10.7 diameter implants were a better fit for me. However, if I wanted to go to a higher cc I had to go to the moderate plus projection, because the next size up in the moderate profile would have been too wide of a diameter for my chest. When I tried the moderate plus profile of Sientra Implant I felt like it may give me a too augmented look and so I quickly dismissed those as an option and went with the 210 cc moderate profile implants. (It is important to download the catalogs for different types of implants because for example the moderate plus in Mentor implants has similar dimensions to the Sientra moderate protection etc. I had inspo pics I liked of Mentor implants but I needed to see how they compared to the Sientra implants my surgeon was using)
6 weeks out from surgery I feel like my outcome is spot on to my inspiration pics. They are very natural looking. Dr. Killion did an amazing job and really accomplished the look I was going for that I presented to her with my inspo pics. That being said, at this point in time I'm still wishing I had gone bigger, now that I have implants in my body the 235cc or even maybe the 255cc moderate plus profile Sientra implants would have still looked natural and given me a little more oomf. For now I'm allowing myself to love and embrace the changes as my implants continue to settle. I look forward to bikini and bra shopping soon! Check in for the 3 month update in about 6 weeks!

Hi (: you look great !! I am trying to decide between 240 and 210. Your height would be very helpful..How tall are you ?
February 26, 2023
Hi! I'm 5 ft 4 inches tall. I'm about 125 lbs. My band width is 30 in. And my breast diameter is 10.5 cm.

Hi (: This ended up in my spam so I just saw it last week. Thank you very much for responding!! I already went and did 210 Mod Naturelle Saline filled to 205 cc's unders. Like you I was very concerned about going too big and not looking natural. I didn't want that rounded look up top. So I was torn between the 210 - 240 10.5 diameter, and the 180 to 210 10.1 diameter. In the end after looking at your pictures I went with the smaller size. I am 5'2" about 100 - 102 lbs. My band width is a bit over 28 extremely flat chested lol (: They do look very cute but like you I am thinking maybe I should have not been such a chicken and gone for the 210-240 mod 10.5 diameter instead. I am not so far out at 2 weeks so I am waiting to see when the swelling goes down how I feel. They are cute, certainly much better than nothing lol (: and nothing over the top ^^. I can relate to the striving for perfection and maybe spoiling good. Thank you very much for sharing. I did start out with a lot less than you.. we will see how I feel in a few weeks. I would love to go braless and actually look like I have boobs w/o having to wear a padded bra.. so far not sure if that is the result I will get.. You are right, you think you will see them and have an instant gratification but instead I guess patience is key. The other girl that commented that she wishes she went smaller instead of 235 / 250 was helpful too.. I have already visited the thought that if I then went a little bigger.. merely 2 tablespoons would I then feel too big and have to downsize again because this was actually the best size. lol (: you can really drive yourself crazy,, and the money $$ Like how many boob jobs am I willing to have lol (: I always think, why wasn't I just born with small but nice perfect perky little boobs, then I wouldn't have to go through all of this.. Thank you for your story, so helpful <3

I hope you are feeling better about them. I think they look AMAZING on you! I'm hoping my end result will come close to what you have. I will definitely be purchasing the Pink bra you linked. Super cute and great cleavage! Thanks for sharing your progress. I hope all is well with you!
