Hello everyone! I hope everyone is doing well. I'm about to hit my 2 year mark- WOW. I don't even know what to say! I still experience ups and downs- but isn't that life in general? I truly do love them. On a less happy note- I still have some challenges. I have minimal sensation in my nipples and my entire lower breast. It is hard to say if my feeling is improving anymore at this point. It is not a big problem but it is a bid un-nerving. I also feel that my right breast has dropped a bit too much. I am going to visit my surgeon and ask her if there is anything I can do to make that breast higher... Though I doubt it. Also, my breasts are soft, but there are definitely indications that they are fake. I can feel rippling and I can feel the implant. I believe this is because I had very little breast tissue to begin with. Retrospectively, I may have gone with another brand of implants that produce a softer feel. Though I still definitely love how these implants!! They do a great job of creating the look of fullness! Aesthetically, they are great. When it comes to how they feel, I have mixed emotions. They are very soft, but I maybe would have liked them to be even softer (I think this comes down to how much they fill the gel implant) I definitely do not regret getting Sientra though!! They look great and they feel natural. I am just a naturally picky person. Ask me in 6 months, and I may say something different. Feel free to ask me any kind of question :) Much love to all of you!!!

You look amazing. I'm going in Monday to have my BA and we are set for 235cc silicone:) I'll be happy if they turn half as good as yours
March 3, 2017
Thank you so much!! Wow best of luck :) let me know if you have any questions. xo

I'm 3 days post-op. We ended at 235, that was the largest size in my range of implants. When I got home from surgery I was immediate happy. I have quite a bit of swelling now and pain and started have some concerns they are too big but I'm trying to stay positive and not judge them right now. I have a lot of fluid still in me and I'm sure once the bloat goes down I'll feel great. It's such an odd sensation and everything is really tight. I'm really happy I came across your results because you gave me the confidence in my size choice. Now I just have to sit back and let the healing begin.

Hiya, thanks so much for posting a 2 year update - that is really helpful. I totally relate to all of your thinking from start to the 2 year mark (withe too-ing and fro-ing on whether you want them or not etc and concerns about not being natural). I haven't had implants, but am seriously considering it. Can you tell me...do they ever feel cold in your body? Like, swimming in the sea or out in cold weather. I wonder this as the rest of our body is warmed by blood, but the implant isn't ofcourse. Also, I hope you don't mind me asking...do you think guys have noticed when touching them (if they didn't know already)? I love the look of your result, beautiful :-)

Mine are cold. Actually cold to the touch sometimes. I got 275cc 2 years ago and am downsizing in a month because they're too big.
March 22, 2017
Mine are 225cc under the muscle and never feel cold. My friend told me hers always feel cold, and they are only slightly larger than mine. I figured I would have the same experience, but haven't. She went over the muscle, so maybe that was part of it?
March 23, 2017
Thanks for your comment.It seems that there is no rhyme or reason on who feels them to be cold and who doesn't! May be luck of the draw? Did you go under or over the muscle with your implant?
March 23, 2017
Arethereanynamesleft...I was asking you if you went under or over muscle :-)
March 23, 2017
Thanks FuzzyD. :-)
March 24, 2017
I went under. I'm always cold so I expected to be cold, but fortunately they feel the same temperature as the rest of my body
March 16, 2017
sorry, also, what happens when you lie flat? Do you feel like they stick up too much or flatten out a bit when you lie down?

Almost 8 Months! Bra Size: 32C

BurienBoobs
Hello All. Hope you guys are all happy and loving yourselves. It is still a roller coaster of emotions. So far I'm thinking I'll keep them for 10 years and then go to a smaller size? I'm SO happy I didn't go with a bigger size. I think they are getting squishier which I'm SUPER excited about. I have a lot of numbness and decreased nipple sensation which isn't super pleasant. Sometimes I start critiquing my body and wishing I had a bigger but to be more proportionate, etc, but that is just insecurity speaking, not the truth. If any of you guys need any advice or want to talk feel free to comment and do that :)

NOTE** The only bra that actually fits me is the one I specified was a 32C in the caption. The rest of the bras are my friend's, and they don't fit right at all.

Your boobs look ridiculously natural and amazing! I love it. I'm getting my BA in 2 weeks and still undecided between 225cc or 255cc. Everyone told me to go bigger but my gut is telling me to go smaller. Reading your review has given me some perspective. Most people get boob greed, but there are also many of us who prefer small boobies. If I get your result, I'd be over the moon :)

Can I ask why you're unhappy with the size? Also, do you know your bwd? Thanks!
January 26, 2016
Thank you so much!! I think I'm unhappy with the size because of low confidence in general. I think people with big boobs, medium and small boobs are beautiful. The problem isn't my boobs, it's my self esteem in general. I have exactly what I wanted and I'm still unhappy so I just have to work out my own issues. I'm not sure what my bwd was but I know it was really small and limiting. btw I got my surgery with Dr. Sowder!! I think our surgery is in the same room!! I never saw your doctor but his before and afters look amazing and it seems like he also is amazing. I'm always here to talk btw if you'd like :)

Hi, I don't often write comment but I really need to tell you that you look beautiful with your new boobies, I'm sorry but you looked - though beautiful- a bit like a boy before - :), give it sometimes, and stop thinking "fake" and start thinking "loving yourself" now. Confifence is what you feel inside, it has nothing to do with your boob size, just forget about the boobs and know that you look beautiful regardless and you are. Xoxo
January 26, 2016
I did look a bit like a boy haha :) and thank you so much!!! I definitely need to stop thinking that way. Also I looked at your review. You really look great. Also, your surgery is still new and your boobs will change (always for the better in my opinion) and I imagine you will get a nice slope :)
January 29, 2016
Your boobs are soooo natural compared to my massive round balls :(. And yours never look like balls, they have natural slopes from the start. Oh I wish I had gone smaller, mine feel natural but look awfully fake. Did you ever feel like they are just round balls and if yes when did that change? I honestly love your look

You do look fabulous! I like you struggle thinking I'm too big. I went 250cc. Im 5'8" 122lbs. I'm a 32full B now. I wear mostly bralettes and sports bras. It is a huge adjustment when you're very thin. I have the same roller coaster feeling you do. Private message me anytime but do know you look great. Its just so hard learning to basically change the equipment you've had your entire life.
January 26, 2016
Thank you :) And you do too!! I remember reading your review at the beginning of my BA and hoping to get similar results. I also mostly where bralettes and sports bras!! It is a big adjustment. And thank you, message me anytime also :)
January 16, 2016
I legitimately think you look amazing. I showed one of your pictures to my surgeon as an example of what I want! I am 32A and she's putting in 165 cc gummy bears. Hoping for a similar result!
January 26, 2016
Thank you so much!!! Good luck to you :) I tried clicking on your profile but there is a parental control lock which is odd because I don't have any turned on.

Explant? Probably not but maybe?

BurienBoobs
I don't think I would get an explant now... but it is something I've been considering. I feel really disproportional. I realize now that small boobs are also beautiful. I am tired of hiding my boobs when I'm changing (I'm in college). All the girls change in front of each other but I always have to hide. 80% of the girls had small boobs like I used to and they are completely confidence. I realize now how important confidence. It is weird that now I have the boobs I have always dreamed of, but I am barely any more confident. Hopefully they will continue to grow on me. I am just in a stage where I am unsure if I want to keep them. I'll see. I'm not making any big decisions fast.

Hopefully you'll grow to love them more. Have you experienced any further change in softness or numbness?
November 19, 2015
Thanks I hope I will. And I haven't experienced much of a change. I think there is still a chance I have tight muscles though. I also think my natural breasts may be getting slightly bigger which I think is helping.

I honestly think that you look fantastic!! The size is not too large for you!! I'm sure if somebody says anything about the "bigger" you that you could easily say that VS Bras are excellent aren't they??? If you have them removed THAT may be even more noticeable.. Seriously, appreciate your body and do not let others make you rethink what you've done.. Again- I think that you look great :)
January 5, 2016
Haha that is very true :) and thank you so much!! It is true that would be noticeable. I'm feeling better about keeping them.

I think you look great! Do you have any recent pictures?
January 5, 2016
I just posted an update. Thank you!
November 24, 2015
Hi :) I think you look AMAZING!! , the size is perfect for what I can see of your body. But at the end still your decision , you have to do what makes YOU happy, take your time and consider every detail , even the scar, now you have volume , if you have them removed you will only have the scar. Good luck :)
January 5, 2016
Hi :) Thank you!!! I will take my time, no rash decisions. Thank you for your comment. Good luck to you too :)

I'm newer to this site, but I wanted to let you know that I think you look fantastic. Honestly, I brought your pictures to my surgeon as an example of exactly what I wanted. I don't know how much comfort this will give you, but as a nearly 30 year old woman who had small breasts until just yesterday, I think you do still have a modest size that you should be proud of. I would never guess that you'd had augmentation if I saw you undressing. Yours are some of the most natural I've seen. It's so normal to doubt, but try to be confident in all of your body - it is beautiful! I'm not trying to convince you to keep them, but I wanted to let you know what my thoughts were as a stranger with an honest opinion. Do you have a support system through all of this? That has made a world of difference to me. One friend who keeps telling me she's proud of me and thinks I look great. Just like you do! If anything, I think this process has been a really great way to love and accept my whole body and smaller size pre-surgery, and come to enjoy this next chapter. Thanks for being so honest and sharing!
January 5, 2016
Ah no way!! That does give me comfort. At first I was very secretive. The only person I told was an unsupportive boyfriend until we broke up. I finally told a friend the week before I got the surgery. Since then I'm open with my old friends and that also has made a world of a difference. Also, I'm really grateful for this site. You guys are my main support system. Thank you so much for the comment. It helps a lot :) You look GREAT btw!!!
