Boards & tanks under faja
WORTH IT$5,200
Hey ladies - Not all boards are created the same and I learned this the hard way. Before surgery, I purchased an M&D butterfly ab board (contains a very hard, metal? Inside) which I used up until a couple weeks ago. My massage lady pointed out that this board was digging into my skin below my breasts...I had been feeling the pain and discomfort as well as seen the lines this board created but I hadn't realized there were different types of boards out there. Thankfully, she put me on to the type of board that is more flexible, provides more/better coverage of abdomen, doesn't cut into my skin and I Love my new ab board. They sell these boards at my massage place, didn't come in a package so no trace of what brand but they're made of simple foam and work well (pics of both boards posted). Had to share this because I felt so relieved after switching boards in case any of you ladies is experiencing the same issue with ab board.
Also, I have found the lumbar molder to be a must have. It really provides great shape to lower back post-op.
Lastly, I was originally wearing tank tops under my faja that were too long or wide which required me to fold them resulting in lines on my skin after taking off my faja. I've recently fixed this issue by using much smaller (kids sized) cotton tank tops and this is working great for me since no lines to barely any lines are created this way.

On 11/15/16 I got breast implants, but I'm afraid...
On 11/15/16 I got breast implants, but I'm afraid my boob job was botched and am sharing my story in hopes of finding other BA patients who have/had the same post-op boob shape that I have now. I'd love to hear experiences with similar results and to know what was the ultimate outcome for other patients with similar results. Did your boob job start off looking like mine? Did your implants finally resolve or did you have any improvement in shape/dropping?
Here's my boob job experience:
I received 300cc? Silicone round under muscle.
I was a B cup and wanted to be a full C...I also told my surgeon I wanted low projection implants because, based on what I had read and seen online before my surgery, I wanted to ensure my boob job resulted in a natural/teardrop shape with most of the volume at center/lower portion of breast and that kinda flattened like natural breast tissue while I'm lying on my back, instead of that fake/hard-oranges-sitting-on-my-chest kind of look. My implants turned out way too high with too much projection on top portion of breasts (I hate this fake look, its the complete opposite of what I asked my surgeon for)..the center of breasts is flattened (not sure whether this was caused by an extremely tight bandage that was placed at clinic immediately post op..bandage was so tight around center of breasts I had difficulty breathing)...and then my nipple is very low pointing down with very little volume at lower portion of breasts..I can feel my soft natural breast tissue at lower portion, while everything above that feels like the hard implant.
Shortly post-op, I complained to my surgeon that my breasts look deformed. She gave me an extra tight compression band to wear across the top portion of my breasts to put pressure to try forcing implants to drop, but this has not had any success. I'm one month post op now and, although I understand the recovery takes months, I'm terrified this will not resolve with time and I dread the idea of needing revision surgery. I've seen many BA patients' results and none of them ended up with deformed looking boobs like mine so it's even more difficult to belive that this will resolve in time since most/all patients I've seen do not end with results like mine.
I'm feeling quite disappointed/embarrassed with my post op boob shape and am terrified that this will not resolve with time. Please let me know if you're a BA patient who experienced a similar post-op shape.

I think they look great so far and remember gravity will take its toll so give it time for your skin and muscle to adjust to the weight of the implant. Maybe not wearing a bra will help?

January 3, 2017
Thanks Hun, I've been reading up on high-ridding implants like what I'm experiencing...they call them "frankenboobs". I'm more patient and hopeful now waiting on them to drop and soften. Yes, I stopped wearing bra so gravity can help the process:)

January 6, 2017
Please dont be embarrassed..i think you are very brave and i appreciate u sharing ur real experience..i was set to go to Yily n May and i have been thinking May be to stay in the states

January 7, 2017
Hey doll, my boobs are finally getting better..slowly dropping, softening and taking more natural shape - thank goodness! That situation just overwhelmed me because I was not expecting such weird looking boobs after implants...from what I've read though, it turns out I experienced what some call "frankenboobs"..but all indicates it's temporary:) Regardless, I do agree it takes bravery to undergo surgery...whether in the States or abroad. It's such a huge and personal decision..sending best wishes to you which ever way you decide to go:)

Thank you sweetie and i am happy for u that ur boobs are getting better my love

18 days post
Shape before & after BBL; Faja shaping butt??
Hi dolls, I am about 18 days post op and quite swollen, stiff and sore but I figured I'd go ahead and post my before and after pics to show how my shape has changed after BBL for those considering surgery.
Likes: I do like that Yily gave me a much better shape, a bit of an hour-glass figure....no more box shaped, I finally have hips!!
Dislikes: I hope once the swelling goes down, my waist shrinks more, right now I have a little belly pouch, unevenness, and hardness, but apparently this is expected after lipo and should resolve in time. I have a lot of fluid which I can feel because it feels extra hot especially in my back. I also would have liked an upside down heart-shaped butt with more fullness at the lower portion of butt and hips, instead my butt is more Apple shaped with more fullness at upper hips. **Ive noticed that the shape of the butt portion of faja Yily gave me after Sx, a Maria E faja, has the apple shaped pattern for the butt and I think this might be molding the shape of my butt. I'm looking for a new faja that would have a more heart shaped butt pattern.
Also, I would have liked more booty projection, not a shelf, but just more projection. I did tell Yily I wanted natural looking results, so maybe that's why she only went a little bigger.

Your results are amazing! The massages are supposed to help with some of the things you are experiencing, are you getting them? So glad to be following your journey. I'm scheduled with Yily March 6th.

December 4, 2016
Thanks love!☺️ I got about a dozen massages while in DR and they definitely helped with stiffness/hardness/soreness but now that I'm back home, Massages cost at least 4x more and I just can't pay for that right now. Girl, surgery expenses really have added up big time! I am trying to do some self massages on my abdomen in the meantime, doesn't compare but that's all I can do for now. Can't wait until my body finally processess all this extra fluid so I could feel normal again. Congrats on your upcoming surgery, sending Best wishes your way, XO XO!

If you could do it all over again. Would you? What would you do different? Was it worth it?

December 5, 2016
I think it's a little too soon for me to say if it's been worth it because I need a few issues to resolve beforehand. 1) Boobs need to settle, take shape and soften; 2) Stiffness, unevenness, hardness, swelling & pain need to resolve in lipo'd areas 3) Fat transfer needs to hopefully maintain (there's always a portion of the transferred fat lost, so I hope that there's very little lost there). These are considered "normal" issues after Sx which usually resolve in time. Overall, it takes time (months) to see the final results so right now, I'm optimistically cautious about saying whether it's worth it while I'm still dealing with these issues. Once these things resolve (and hopefully they do resolve), then I'd be able to say Yes it's all been worth it! For me, an improved shape is a great confidence booster, but I really need full use/motion of my back too, lol. I don't plan on a round 2, once was enough surgery for me so I really hope all issues do resolve without need for revisions.
I don't know what I'd do differently because the major things that went wrong for me: 1) Falling twice straight out of surgery, when I Clearly told Yily's assistant that my hired caretaker needed to be there for me soon as I got out of Sx... & 2) Receiving high projection implants when I clearly told Yily that I wanted low projection.
I did my part by communicating clearly on these things beforehand, yet they went wrong anyways because they're dependent on other people getting things right. Some things will be out of our control no matter how on top of things we are, but I still strongly encourage patients to spell out exactly what they want and don't want to both Dr & staff.

Thank you so much! I really appreciate and respect your opinion. I will be sure to do my best to communicate to Yily on what I want. I pray that you recover fast and you're galaxy with the end results

December 5, 2016
