Reviews you can trust, from real people like you.
How it works
- Our highly-trained Review Moderation team evaluates all reviews before they're published to ensure they're written by people like you and not a member of a doctor's office.
- This multi-step process takes up to 24 hours from review submission to publication.
- Doctors can't pay to have reviews removed or hidden.
- Reviews are only removed at the reviewer's request or if they violate our Terms of Service.
If you have questions or believe we should re-evaluate a published review, let us know.

and so the story goes... still no happy ending?
I assumed by this time I would be fairly well off, having accepted my new acquisitions, but instead I seem to be dwelling on them as they are consistently engorged and uncomfortable- along with the remainder of my body.
I have resumed light workouts and increased my travel schedule, however I am far from functioning as normal. I am have considerable issues with water retention/swelling … my measurements are up-my breasts are overflowing and tender (like premenstrual symptoms).
I keep a very strict diet (I use myfitnesspal and document my eating), fitbit HR to track heart rate and calories burned, and Aria scale to track weight/bodyfat etc. Honestly, I could foresee an increase of 1 pound over the course of the last 2 weeks if I assume there were calculation errors during special dinners, but I have remained at a calorie deficit and my scale bounces from anywhere from 2-8 pounds heavier day to day (I even tried eating at maintenance for 5 days and was rewarded with sausage toes and fingers).
This is not rocket science, calories in, calories out, low carb diet and exercise (anabolic mostly). You can only put on 1-2 pounds of muscle a month (if you are lucky, eating above deficit and working hard- which I am not) so it all boils down to water retention (proof with the impressions in my skin, and my aria now reads 30% bf which makes me 'obese' when perviously it was reading 22%).
Could be the travel, could be the light workouts…. anyone still have issues 2.5 months post op with flying or lifting?

Photo didn't upload, here it is
3 weeks vs 2 months
2 Months Post Op- comparison and updates
-I wanted my breasts back: I was wearing a 34C cup in my early years. But that is a letter, a number…. It is not real, but more like an imaginary measuring tape.-
It is obvious to me now I was wearing the wrong size my entire life, beginning by being fitted by a store associate at 20 when I was thin, and full busted. A 34C is the same size as a 32D, so I was really seeking that D cup I had when I was younger all along…
Never the less, I overshot my mark, AND managed to lose a little weight (making my band smaller), and now of course I am a true fitted 30F but I cheat (because of the ‘backfat’) and wear a 32E (32DD).
Now, what do I think of the size?
Here are my 3 week photos vs my 2 month photos
I have a tan, and I could have stood straighter in the photos but I feel terrible at the moment. I had a slew of plane trips, and my scale went up 10 pounds in 4 days! I can feel my swollen eyelids and my rings won't even rotate but I am losing water weight daily... just exhausted.
My Conclusion; They are bigger than I wanted. Most definitely because of the ratio of my waist (25 inches), so as the swelling goes down, my waist and arms get smaller- and it is all about proportions. I have a few more cm to lose, it will be interesting to see if they shrink with my body, or if they will look bigger over the next 2 months.
Husbands Conclusion: He is in love with them. To even consider going to 200 moderate plus profile would be futile. So I am learning to love them- which is much easier now that they are soft and bouncy.
Working out:
Yesterday I did my first exploration of a workout. I call it an exploration because I was extremely cautious and calculated with my routine- doing 10 minutes of core, 15 minutes of cardio and 10 minutes of leg work. Played with a few hand weights, but didn't have the guts to try overhead presses, rows or anything involving direct pectoral use. This morning I feel swollen all over (but that could be from the travel) so today I will begin some shoulder/chest exercises and see how I feel.
I wish I could fast forward time as I believe 3 months will be my reckoning, and these beauties will be firmly planted on my chest, and have found a place in my heart.

Provider Review
I wanted the best, and a celebrity doctor is damn near close! He knows what he is talking about as he does seminars and is featured in magazines and television. We will see how the entire things turns out. Thus far, I wish he was a bit more thorough with examinations...
