Six Months Post

I feel like I finally have some “fluff”. Still the occasional burning sensation in my nipples or a twinge that massage resolves but my scars occasional feel very raw - like I was just cut again - and I notice one is raised so I am applying the scar cream again to try to stop that. I am still hoping to go larger and to a higher profile this fall/winter so I can be fairly well along toward settling by my wedding day. It seems to have taken me a long time to fluff but everyone is different.

I should have gone bigger

I’m still waiting for the magic to happen. I’m not satisfied with my size. I think I need moderate profile 640cc and maybe a donut lift. I will not consider an anchor or lollipop lift and do not want my nipples moved too much. But I want bigger and rounder and I’m frustrated I may have to wait until the sixth month mark. I don’t see them settling to a point that would make me feel good about the investment. I wouldn’t say it wasn’t worth it but I’m definitely not satisfied and do not have the patience to wait sixth months then start over with new implants waiting for them to settle again. *sigh*. I wish I had pushed for moderate profile and emphasized more strongly that I wanted some level of fake-look. I do not want to look too natural - for me that defeats the point of implants. *sigh again*

Scar update

I forgot to post pics of my scars. They are barely noticeable. I used to get a burning sensation on them from time to time but that stopped the first week. I’m very happy with the minimal scarring and I did not have any bruising.
