WORTH IT$4,945
This week I was cleared to resume all activity just no intense chest workouts. I was also cleared to wear whatever type of bra I want. Dr. T said breasts would settle for 6 months so if I was happy with how they look now to wear a bra at all times to stop them from dropping anymore. First thing I did was go buy a bra with underwire and was ver shocked when my girls were falling out of the 34C I assume it is bc it was a push up but still! I am very happy with my results!

3 weeks since surgery and things feel great. Breats are still sore due to doing the massages. Right breast is still sitting a little higher than the left but over all is doing good. They are getting softer each week. I've learned now that I actually have boobs I'm obsessed with Victoria secrets. I've purchased 6 new bras in the last 2 weeks. Before surgery I've only had 1-2 bras at a time it feels good to look good in a bra finally!

I wish I could afford to get surgery done. I'm a really small A cup as well and have alway felt un-feminine and hate that I can't wear a bra or bathing suit because the bra is always too big. Not to be intrusive but how did you afford to pay for the surgery? I recently got a quote from a plastic surgeon and they said the price is $12,000-$14,000 and that's the starting point; could go higher depending on a lot of factors.

That's very expensive, do some research, try Miami, they're pretty decent with prices
June 20, 2019
Yeah it is extremely expensive. I just literally looked at my phone and was like well thank you for you time and hung up.. Way too expensive. But yeah I think I might do that do you have any surgeon recommendations by any chance?
June 24, 2019
Oh goodness I wouldn't have been able to pay that amount! My surgery was $4,945.00. We saved for awhile. I inly had implants done though no lift or anything like that. You could alway try care credit I've heard that is what most people do! They make me feel a million times better about my self image.

lol yeah its a bit ridiculous how much they were asking for. Luckily I saw your results and I really like how it turned out and I'm now in the process of speaking to one of the RN's at Dr. Tyrone's office as a virtual consultation which is super useful considering I'm out of state. I'm actually really nervous as I have never done any kind of surgery in my life.

I was pretty nervous as well. I've had an emergency c section but didnt have time to worry about that. He is amazing and his staff is great with keeping you as comfortable as possible. I'll have to update my photos they look so much better bow that they have dropped. I went woth a more natural look and couldn't be happier!

So sorry just saw your comment. Did you get your surgery done yet? Dr. Dejesus from Spectrum Aesthetics in Miami did mine. She's awesome
June 28, 2019
Yeah that would be great if you could update your photos! I'm glad everything went well for you. Something that concern me is the possibility of a rupture if I choose silicone since that can't be naturally absorbed by the body.. Did they tell you how likely it is that rupture can happen? I'm also concerned about how many times I'd have to replace the implants even if they haven't ruptured. I too 'am seeking to have natural looking breast.. Something that looks proportionate to my body. How long was your recovery and how long did it take for the implants to drop (I never even knew that was a thing lol) sorry for all the questions I'm just trying to get as much info as possible before I make some life changes to my body

Ill try and post some today! I'm 7 weeks post op as of yesterday. I went with silicon since I had basically no breast tissue and with saline it's better to have tissue to cover the implant incase it ripples. From the research i did rupture is not as common today as it was 20 years ago when they took it off the market and if rupture does occur the silicon doesn't pour out since uts so thick they say it will most likely stay with the pocket that is created for the implant. I think its recommended to have an mri done every 3 yeara to make sure everything is doing good. My surgeon told me that silicon implants last longer than saline. I did a ton of research before I went to my consult and this sight was very helpful seeing how everyone recovered and what size implants looked best on certain body types. Your breasts can settle (drop) for 6 months but you will get a good idea of your final results around 3 months. We decided we were happy with where mine are right now so I was cleared to wear an underwire bra to help keep them in place and cut out the downward massages so hopefully they wont drop anymore.

Had my follow up and suture removal yesterday. Dr said things are looking great and went over breast massages and scar care. I was cleared to sleep on my side and wear any formed cup wireless bra. I'm feeling pretty much back to normal some movements still cause a little pain but thats to be expected this early in recovery.
