So Happy!!

WORTH IT
I am nearly 3 weeks out from getting a donut lift with implants. My surgeon Dr. Aitken was amazing! All the consultations I had, she was the only one who noticed that my ribcage was on an angle and we would need to use a larger implant on the side that's angled back. I literally scheduled surgery after our consultation because I knew she was the one! I felt like she asked the best questions and I could see she really understood what I wanted!
I was planning on going with 500cc. Dr. Aitkens asked me before surgery with knowing we'd need to use two different sizes would I want to lean to the larger or smaller side. I told her to do whatever she thought looked best on my frame. A week later I found out at my checkup she used a 560cc on my forward side and a 650 on the angled back side. Insane!!! I never would have known and am so thankful I had a surgeon who knew what I wanted and made it happen during surgery! All the "cc" sizes are just numbers at the end of the day.. having a surgeon who understands what you want is the single most important thing!
I ended up having a hematoma on the right side. That boob looked pretty gross for a little while. Because of the bleeding, all the tape came off my incision very early. The lower part of my boob was very bruised too.
I also had lipo done on my love handles. Have to say that was more painful than I anticipated. But the bruising was wayyy less than I anticipated based on pictures I had seen. I only had a very little bit of bruising that happened on the sides of my butt.
I feel like my boobs are pretty much on the same page now after the right one had a rough start. The shapes of my areolas are a little funky but from what I read, it can take 3+ months for those to smooth out.

Overall I am super happy with them! So thankful for my wonderful surgeon and her whole team! Every day I feel like they look nicer! Crazy that even though the right side is 90cc bigger than the left, the left side feels bigger. But you can see the bigger implant is higher up my chest wall still so it's just going to take longer for that one to drop and fluff. I feel very confident that the final result is going to be amazing!!

So it's a little sad that I do not fit into some of my favorites summer dresses this year, but who doesn't like shopping!! My boobs are looking fantastic in everything I put on and it's the best! Seriously wish I would have done this so much sooner!

One Month PO

I'm one month out and definitely feel like my breast are getting softer. Do not mind my bloated looking stomach and all the surgical tape. Just had my gallbladder out.
Still loving my results but it's funny how some days I think they're the perfect size and some days I think I should have went bigger. But in a bra I wouldn't want them to look any bigger, naked I feel like I wouldnt mind them a little bigger..

Any update?

Hi looking amazing I was wondering about your nipple sensation is it normal or numb ? Did you lose any sensation in it ?
August 12, 2024
I lost sensation in one and the other one feels like any other skin on my body. I'm hopeful the feeling will return! I was really nervous about this happening, but now that I have my wonderful new boobs I know I would trade sensation in both of them if it was the only way to have these boobs!
