A few days away from a year out,

I have to say, these last two years, I've had more self confidence then my whole life. I lost weight, I never thought I'd lose. I started going back to school, and I was still really good at it. About 3 months of that was my new boobs, and it felt amazing to be whole. Then I took a major dive because I didn't get a nice set. I got very depressed over it because I paid a lot of money for these to look good. While seeking a great rack, I've given myself nerve pain in my left breast and almost total lost of sensation. In the end I got my old boobs back, just bigger, loss of sensation, and nerve damage. Was it worth it? If I could go back and change it would I? Yes, I'd pick a different surgeon.

So unhappy.

My beautiful boobs. Once the swelling went down, I could see something was not right. PS said wait it out, it should just smooth over. But it just got more and more prominent. I left my 6 month post op appointment crying because I can't afford to have him fix his mistake? He wants to transfer fat to the underside of my breast to even out a double bubble, not on one but both sides. When he left the room so he could talk to the finance gal about it, I was thinking he was going to see about giving me a deal on the anesthesia or something. Nope. It was to give me a 25% discount on his fee. Because I have the anesthesia fee saved. After the last visit I KNEW, I would need a revision. So did he. We talked about it then, so I started saving for only fee I thought I'd have to pay for.
So now I get to live with bigger ugly boobs because as a single mom of three, I can't put more money into my [RS bleep]. I got them to begin with because my husband cheated on me. To make myself feel great naked. Now I'm back to square one and out almost 7 grand. I wonder if they are just going to get more and more ugly.
I'm so very upset and disappointed by the lack of care. So take a look. This is what I got. This is the work that Dr Braden Stridde deems acceptable. I'll take my chances somewhere else when I get money saved up, because I'm 1 for 1 on needing a revision.

32DD

I went and got sized at VS and I'm a 32DD?! HOLY COW! It's crazy! And amazing. I love waking up and seeing the girls just hanging out. I feel whole. It's been one of the best decisions of my life.
The little bit of pain, the lot of money, coming to terms with elective surgery, has all be worth it to feel this way in my own skin. Never in my life did I feel like I loved my body. I do now. I LOVE IT. I love myself wholly. Not just parts, but my whole self. It's been amazing and wonderful. I used to be embarrassed just to be without a top on. My ex never did anything for my self image, if anything he made it worst in many ways. I had to come to terms with it myself, and boobs were the icing on the cake.
You can make your ass bigger with squats. Diet can take away your cellulite, that my ex liked to point out that I had. Your arm flab and baby pooch can be removed too with the right workouts. But boobs, they will just shrink and flatten as you improve the rest of you. Even as a teenager, I hated my boobs. They were ugly and flat. I was always told that kids would make my boobs bigger, I have three and they were even smaller then before. Now with implants, I feel like a woman. I can wear sexy things, and look sexy. Now I'm waiting for the someone to look sexy for.
They are starting to feel so soft and nice. They are just like melons, they just needed to ripen up! My scars are getting lighter all the time. My boobs look so nice and natural, you'd never know I had gotten implants. I've got just the right amount of cleavage to draw the eye in for a min but not so much where it's got all the focus. I look AMAZING naked. No better feeling in the world.

He was great. Took his time with me. I didn't feel rushed at all. He didn't seem worried at all with the idea of lowering my folds, I liked his confidence. I do feel like I'm in good hands. 6 months later-- I ended up with DOUBLE BUBBLE, that I'm going to have to pay almost 4k to fix. I don't fall into the revision? But was willing to give me 25% off because I had been there before.
