Well it’s been two years since I had my implants put in and I thought I’d update. Honestly I can’t believe it’s only been two years, I feel like it’s been longer. I look back at my before pictures and don’t recognize that I ever looked like that.
I have absolutely no complaints or regrets! I’d say 98% of the feeling has returned with only a slight numb feeling over the incisions. I don’t notice it unless I run my nails over them to scratch. Honestly besides being a bit more firm than a natural breast they don’t feel different at all. I do notice that when it’s really cold out the silicone tends to get colder than my body tissue lol My husband thinks it’s hilarious.
The scars are just thin white lines now. I haven’t worn an underwire in about a year. I still use a fitted cup though rather than a sports bra style (you can see marks from my bra in the photos) because I want to keep them supported but it’s so much more comfortable than an underwire. Overall I am so happy I went through with the procedure!

Well I just passed my one year anniversary and thought I'd update. There is not a day that goes that I regret my decision. Getting these implants have done so much for my confidence. I feel sexy around my husband again and I love the way I look in clothes. I feel like the old me again before my kids destroyed my boobs.
Everything has healed well! The incisions still have a bit of loss of feeling but it's very mild. Honestly I don't even notice it unless I run my nails over them then I realize it feels a bit numb. I haven't had anymore issues with the implants dropping any further. I guess the scar tissue finally fully formed and is keeping the implants in place now. I really don't even notice the implants anymore, they just feel like apart of my body.
Overall I can say I am completely satisfied with how everything turned out. Dr. Mariotti and his staff were amazing through the entire process. I have a one year recheck with him in June (I pushed it back due to scheduling conflicts). I just couldn't be happier with my decision.

Thank you Rox10! I You'll do just fine! Honestly the surgery was the easy part! Recovery really wasn't bad either (especially after having babies lol). I had a lot of mom guilt but honestly the kids were totally fine. I think as mom's we owe it to ourselves to put ourselves first once in a while. Kids deserve to have a happy mom and if this is going to make you feel confident and happy then absolutely go for it.

3 months!
So I am a couple days short of my 3 month mark. Overall I am very happy though I've noticed that my left boob is bigger than my right. At first I just thought it was a bit asymmetrical because one nipple turned out more than the other but I can definitely see/feel a difference in size now.
I was told at my last appointment that I no longer needed to wear my bra 24/7 but last week I noticed the left breast looked quite a bit lower than the other (after I spent the day bra less). Ive since put the bra back on 24/7 and it seems to have corrected it. I hope I'm not getting a double bubble on that side.
I'm going to see the dr on Wednesday for my recheck so I plan to bring up all my concerns then. I know things are still settling and changing, I just hope everything evens out.

Thank you for your review! I see Dr Marrioti in 3 weeks for BA! Love how yours turned out! Considerably less swelling then a lot of other people I've seen.
