stomach sleeping- still hit or miss

I've had a couple of nights where sleeping on my stomach feels fine, but there are still quite a few where it is not. I find that if I stretch before bed, it is more comfortable to sleep on my stomach than if I don't stretch before bed. Any floor exercises on my stomach (lying T-raise/Y-raise, superman, etc) feels absolutely foreign and will take a lot of getting used to.

I still can’t lay/sleep on my stomach. It feels like to balloons are going to pop and they squish out to the sides and I hate that feeling. I had the feeling with my first set of implants, like if I hug someone or carry something pushed up against my chest, it feels like the implants are being pushed out into it armpit area. I was so hoping it would have gone away but It still does that and it’s something I can’t get used to. It’s been a year since my first surgery and 3 months since my revision. I wonder how many other women feel the same.

How are you liking your size ? Have they dropped and fluffed for the most part? Would love to see an update. I also got myself a push up bra and whoa what a difference it makes.

yeessss to the push up bra! omg they are magic! and yes, that's exactly what it feels like, two balloons that press out to the sides when I lie on my stomach.... not ideal, but I guess it's a small price to pay for finally having boobs!
For the size, I like the way they look in clothes, because I've learned that it's all about the bra, however it is just naked that I wish they were bigger. But, my surgeon said that he believes I made the right choice, because my options for bigger would've been wider, or more cohesive, and he doesn't think I'd like either of those. We are just in the process of moving so I haven't had a chance to take any more photos, but will do that as soon as we are settled!

How are you liking your revision? They look incredible!!! I think the revision work was really well done!

Finally!! Someone who can relate to what I am talking about/ feeling. Even if I put any pressure on my chest or hug someone it feels like they are coming out of the sides. It’s a crazy feeling and I try to just ignore it but I do living having my boobs.

I am loving my revision. I love the size. I could have went bigger but I think they are much better than before. I did choose a more cohesive gel for these implants. I got the mentor xtras this time and I love them. I went up 160cc and these implants actually feel lighter ( less heavy) than the old ones.

I read from someone else’s post on here that the bra makes all the difference. If you wear an ill fitted bra your boobs will know it. There are some sports bras that I wear that will leave my boobs very sore at the end of the day. My favorite bra by far is the lightly lined wireless from VS. I still can’t wear an underwire because it irritates my incisions.

Keep us posted on your journey! Love watching everyone’s updates!

Hi! Thank you for sharing your experience! I'm in the exactly same situation (except that I breastfed two children so my tuberous breast is completely empty) and at the end of march I'll have my BA! I'm very thin and I'll put about 250 cc, because there's no more space. I'm afraid about everything but I can't live anymore with these orrible "boobs". I'd like to know how it's going now and how is the scars on the nipple! If you want, please, update your review! (PS: Sorry for my english, I'm not english-speaking)

hello, just wondering if you could post some recent pictures? We have very similar stats - i've had my BA but hey are VERY small and I hate them. I'm considering implants your size but feeling pretty scared about getting a revision that might be a failure like my first BA> your pictures would really help; thanks, xx

push up bras are magic??

BW
Bea WilliamsSmith
So, I've discovered push-up bras, and oh my god. I have really enjoyed shopping! I am starting to really really really love my boobs! I have also worn a bikini for the first time in my life. I'm 34 years old, and I've never worn one, and I did, and I felt FABULOUS.
I've also realized that victoria secret sizing is insane. Most other places, I'm a 34C or a 32D, but for some reason at victoria secret I'm a 32DDD or 32E (which apparently you can only buy online). I have NO IDEA how that is possible, but it was kind of a huge confidence boost!

3 month photo comparisons

BW
Bea WilliamsSmith
Well, I had my surgery on May 5th and it is now August 2nd, so I am essentially at the 3 month mark. Here are a series of comparison photos from wish pics, pre-op, to now. I think my surgeon did a very good job of getting me pretty close to my wish pics. I understand it was a difficult task given my tuberous shape, and I understand that my views on some things have changed since surgery. Hope these help, especially anyone considering reconstructive surgery of tuberous breasts.
