21 Month Update!!!!

Hi Guys!!! I’m so sorry I haven’t updated in ages!! Consider no news to be good news...overall I couldn’t be happier with my decision to get breast implants! It has helped tremendously with my confidence and just feeling a lot more feminine, while also looking better in (and out of) clothes! I greatly regret not doing this much sooner in life.
I WILL admit to having boob greed though. It’s funny, I used to read reviews of women saying they were a size 32D post surgery but they didn’t “look or feel like it.” I used to think - these women are crazy they clearly have boobs but see themselves differently somehow! Well, now I kind of feel like that girl! I wear a size 30DD or 32D but I DO feel “small”. If I were born with these boobs I’d be extremely happy, but to have paid for them and endured the surgery and recovery, I kind of wish I went more like 400cc. Would that have looked ridiculous? I don’t know - I feel it still would have looked modest? Could my tiny frame have carried them safely? Again, I don’t know but my surgeon seemed to think I could have gone much bigger.
As you can see from the photo, they have dropped a lot since my last update. I feel like they look pretty natural but we all know they aren’t lol.
Being able to wear tops I couldn’t wear before and being able to go braless (with nipple covers) has been the most liberating thing fashion-wise. Gone are the days of padded bras and uncomfortable underwire and “cutlets” just trying to fit into a top!
So, all in all, this is one of the best decisions I have ever made and I would do it all over again!

Did they soften quite a bit for you? I'm about 2 months post-op w/ textured unders, and they're still pretty firm.
October 10, 2018
They did soften up over time but they will never feel like real breasts or be as soft as the smooth implants I don’t think. But I’ll take that over no boobs any day!

Hi there, I am tall like you and slender and I feel like my body has swallowed my implants.....:/! But I got 415 full profile and the largest I would’ve gone is 450, my PS said that anything bigger than that the implants would have looked like big large giant balls on my chest, LOL! :p I too have thought that I should have gone 450 now that they have softened but in all honesty I still am happy and I have no regrets. So maybe when we have our 10 to 12 year mark When we need to get them re-done we can go bigger then! ;) :p I’m happy that you’re happy! That’s all that matters!

I would love to know what your BWD was!
October 28, 2018
Hi unfortunately I’m not sure! I know 325 or 350cc would have fit nicely as well if that helps? But I had to go high profile due to my smaller BWD and 29” rib cage. Hope that helps!

You look Amazing! Very happy for you . I hope you happy with results and everything is going well.
April 26, 2017
Thank you! :) Everything is going well! I have to post a written update - I have so much to say!
April 26, 2017
Omg! Amazing!!! Can't wait to read your next update. How are you doing with workouts? I am really struggling to find a routine that works for me post-op. I did the Kayla itsines BBG program before and I can't do it anymore since I have to lay off push ups and pec exercises for 9 months :/. Please share, you look great! They look super soft
April 26, 2017
Thank you! :) I owe you guys a massive update -now that I've posted these pics I'm eager to write about it all. I want to note specific dates and stuff but I think I was in the clear to do everything (except push ups) around March 1st. Exercise for me is a mix of running, spinning and walking (I have a big dog and I also will also walk on my lunch hour at work whenever I can). Spin class includes 5 mins of dumbbell arm weights to work shoulders, chest and arms. I've been doing the chest exercises...I wasn't told not to. :0 I hope that's ok! That's the only strength thing I do really. I should do more strength! Spinning can become like a strength workout though with the hill climbs.

Bikini shopping & 8 weeks post op tomorrow

LeapOfFaith2
I plan on doing a more detailed update for my 8 weeks post op which is tomorrow, but here's a quick picture update since I've been doing some major bikini shopping. My husband and I are going away soon and I have to (happily) replace all my bikini tops. Pictured is a size small - previously I was always an extra small.

Thank you for you updates . You look fantastic. I was following your journey before my surgery that happened Feb 15th. I got sientra HSC moderate plus 305cc smooth round. Going bigger in my case was pushing for complications. And I couldn't tolerate the weight of 340 or 360cc. I do Hot Power yoga 5 days a week so even if I wanted to go bigger I had to make a right decision for long run. You look really good I hope your breast getting more even and softer. All the best ..have a great trip
March 13, 2017
Hey! Thank you so much it makes me happy to hear you were following along! I just checked out your pics and you look amazing! The perfect size for your frame! I totally agree about making the right decision for the long run, especially when you're active!

Great results! I loved reading through your review. I went through many of the same things you did. I'm three weeks out. I went back to work at 10 days just half days and I could hardly function between the exhaustion and pain. I have a desk job too. I hope lefty behaves and drops for you!
March 13, 2017
Aww thank you so much I'm happy you enjoyed reading! Sorry to hear you had so much trouble when going back to work! I too had a rough time the first couple days back. It all gets better with time. I hope you're feeling pretty good now that you're probably about 4 weeks out! And lefty is doing a bit better I hope to post a big update on Tuesday on everything.
March 12, 2017
Hope all is well and you had a great trip! Love following your updates
March 13, 2017
Hey thank you so much! I haven't gone on my trip yet it's about 4 weeks away but I was prematurely bikini shopping for it of course haha! I hope to post a big update on Tuesday. I just have a lot to write out so I need enough time to recap everything.
