I've noticed that nearly all of the bruising is gone. The scars are fading and I feel great. :)

After consulting with another Dr who was very talented, I wanted a 2nd opinion. The moment I met Dr. Huffaker I knew he was the surgeon I wanted perform my surgery. He listened to me and spent a lot of time learning about me as a person. He was honest & caring.

You're still looking fantastic, and I'm tracking my progress next to yours. I still look like I jumped on a hand grenade, but know that it will get better, (just look at you!). As always, thank you so much for sharing your journey!
Yay! You will be healed before you know it! I totally understand where you are coming from! Hang in there and be patient most of all. :)
looking fantastic and so glad you're feeling great!... [RS bleep]
You look amazing!!! I have a question and if it's too personal you don't have to answer. For the lift they cut around your nipple area do you lose feeling in your nipples? I notice the scars down the front are almost gone!!!! So happy for you!
No sensation lost at all. :)
They look really nice.
You look great too! You are naturally a bigger cup size than I was before implants but I am really leaning toward getting an explant with lift and NO implants replaced. Your journey inspires me to be myself! Thanks for sharing!
You are welcome. I am really happy to be back to a natural "slope."

Thank you! :)
Thank you so much for sharing.
I've been talking to a plastic surgeon to get my implants extracted. I've had mine for almost 20 years. I am in my mid 40's and I'm not sure I want implants any more. I do want my breast smaller. Doctor suggested either smaller implants or remove and get a lift. I was a 34b and now I'm a 36d. I've been having doubts on what to do but after looking at your pictures I'm so amazed. Scars don't look bad at all. I can deal with that as long as I don't have to deal with implants ever again. Not that I had a bad experience but some with implants I think
They look so good!! Did you have fairly large breasts to begin with. The reason I'm asking is because they do not look small at all. I know when my implants come out I have a feeling I will not have much breast tissue like yours. I was an A before I got implants. But I'm still going through with the surgery. Say a prayer for me. Its scheduled for this July 8th. Doctor wants to deflate them to see if i will need a lift. I dread that moment! Then surgery a few days later. This doctor specializes in breast reconstruction. So Im hopeful he knows what he is doing. Still nervous! Any helpful advice from anyone is appreciated :)

Hey! It's been a year since your procedure. How are you doing today? It'd be great to hear from you again!

Woot woot! Made to the 60 day mark and couldn't be happier! I am thrilled with my progress and look forward to a future not worrying about implants. I feel healthier and love my small breasts.

Hey there I'm already 8days post op... It's crazy how time flies...as soon as my PS gives me the OK to use the scar cream I'm going to buy the one you use.. thank you so much for all ur post ...BTW you're looking amazing..
Thank you! SkinMedica worked for me and I continue to use it. Best of luck to you and congratulations. (Remember to be patient so you don't stress unnecessarily) :)
So happy for you and you look incredible! [RS bleep]
Thank you! :)
You look amazing, wow! From someone who was a small a-cup before the surgery, and a small d-cup after getting implants, its odd to hear someone with as big breasts (big in a natural, pretty way, that is :) ) as you call them "small" . I guess small is relative, huh :) You are very lucky to have this much natural breast tissue left!
For* someone, not FROM someone. This website isnt very typo-friendly, haha :)
I just thought it was me with the typing. Haha. Yes - I guess size is whatever it means to the person. :)
My ipad always autocorrects - guess I should figure that out. haha
