Hi ladies,
Well I was 5 months post op on June 21st. Everything is going great and I have nothing really to report. If you've been following along with my reviews you know that I have been back and forth on size. In my last review I said I was very happy with size. Well I still think I am hehe. Even at 5 months I find myself going back and forth (I thought I was done fretting over size at this point!! Apparently not. Arg.). This month I have found myself wishing I had gone a little bit smaller. But then sometimes I catch a glimpse in the mirror and the size looks great. So I don't know....I think I could have been very happy with 500cc but who knows. I think one of my concerns is looking to matronly when wearing a more conservative top. And I've also been thinking about how these things are going to age. Lastly, it's summer so I've been spending more time in a bikini with them on display. I find myself feeling a little self conscious of the size when in a swim suit.
I have found the BEST nipple covers ever. I have a pic posted. I tried some from Nordstrom and they were awful. You can find the ones I love on ShopBop.com for $26. They are called Bristols 6
Adhesive Nippies Skin Covers and they come in three different skin tones. I know $26 is not cheap for what they are but they work amazing and I have been able to use them over and over many times (I pretty much used them many times for 3 months and one finally got a little rip). I also have to admit that I probably could have extended their life a little more if I had taken better care of them.

You're looking fantastic !!! For what it's worth (a wooden nickel... haha) ... I think you look wonderfully proportionate !! If you feel they make you a bit 'top heavy' in more conservative clothes... just make sure they're a little more fitted and not overly loose. You have a lovely figure so you may as well use it to your advantage =))xo

I do wonder if I had went smaller would I have just wished I had gone bigger? The grass is always greener on the other side right?

You look terrific. They honestly don't look too big at all. Maybe its just pictures and what you see in person is different. But they look really great on your frame. They are a perfect shape too....looking more natural so if you fear you have the big fake boob look, you definitely do not!
Do you mind me asking what you use the nipple covers for???? Lol. Its probably self explanatory, but I think I could really use these but I have no idea when or what do do with them. Do you wear them inside your bra or braless??? I always find my nipples showing through bras that don't have a lot of padding so it sucks because sometimes I just want to wear a lightly lined bra and any light material shirt they pop right through and I wish I had something to stop this from happening. Maybe these are my solution?

Good question! I guess I just assume anyone with augmentation knows what they are but probably a lot of girls don't know :-). So now with the implants wearing a bra is by choice and not by necessity. I don't know about everyone else but for me, since I had my surgery my nipples are more prominent. If you would like to go braless in a fitted shirt or lighter colored shirt you can put these covers on and it conceals your nipples so you can't see the them through a shirt. You could certainly wear them under a bralette with a shirt and no more nipple problems. I still prefer to wear a bra but there are a lot of super cute shirts out there that bras just don't work well with and for those tops these are sent from heaven :-).

Ahhh ok! I never even thought to go braless because I just know my nipples would be crazy. Haha. I am definitely going to try these and try that option out! It might even solve my problem altogether even with wearing bras. My nipples were prominent before surgery so now its even worse! Thanks for the information :)

I personally think the nipple being prominent is an added bonus. Your results are wonderful, the changes in shape and size became more and more evident looking at your timing photos. You look great!

It's been awhile...3 month update and I finally got sized!

Hi ladies,
It's been a month since my last update. I'm now at 3 months post op and am very, very happy with everything. It's funny because I feel like in person they look perfect, but in photos they look so big. But I guess that's the same with anything...it's going to look bigger in photos. I know they are not perfect (no boobs are) but I'm okay with that. I'm not picking them apart or being too critical...I'm just focusing on the good. Life has gone back to normal and I don't really notice them day to day (other than to admire them hehe). I have no soreness/pain and and feel like they are 100% a part of me now. I talked a lot about being worried about going to big but my final thoughts on that are I love the size. Yes, they are good size, but that's what I wanted and I think I just needed to adjust. I feel I would have had boob greed had I gone too small. I have been living in sports bras and surgical bras for 3 months and today I finally went and got sized and bought a bra. I have to say that I was not prepared for the size I was told. I went to Nordstrom and they sized me at 32DDDD. No, I did not accidentally add a D on there. I'm a little tripped out by that size but I'm trying not to get hung up on it. Certainly the procession of bras that followed that sizing were not super cute haha. But I did find a few. I ended up buying 1 nice bra and three bralettes. I sort of chickened out on buying more than one nice bra because I'm thinking they will continue to change. I hope they will change more in the squish department.
Just to refresh memories or for anyone new reading this my stats are:
5"11"
160lbs
14.7 breast width
605cc Round Silicone Natrelle Inspira

I think you look awesome! I think they fit you perfect. Yes, they are a good size, but definitely not over the top.

I love the black bra! What is it?

460cc brought me to a 34DDD.

Thanks! The black bra is the only real bra I bought. It was beautiful and fit like a glove. The brand is Chantrelle :-).

Great results!! Wow I'm lucky I got 1 D haha. VS I'm DD but everywhere else I'm a petty D lol. So you should be happy with your nice alphabet lol. You look great. They look so proportional and looking at you I would never guess it would be a DDDD so don't worry too much about the sizing. They look fantastic and thats all that matters :)
User Avatar
April 22, 2016
Thank you :-). You results look great as well. Yes, the sizing really took me aback but I do feel they look proportional so thank you for reinforcing that. At least if I want to lose some of those Ds I can wear a 36DD. Probably easier for bra shopping :-).
User Avatar
April 22, 2016
I think your results look great too! There's no such thing as a petty d ;) honestly the same cup size can look so different on different bodies and a gorgeous result that fits your frame is the most important thing! And that's what both of you ladies have!
User Avatar
April 22, 2016
Haha I know a D is great! Lol. I always dreamed for a D. I guess when you read reviews of girls getting 100cc less than you and then you both end up with the same cup size its so confusing. Womens bra sizes will forever be a mystery

Oh my gosh! I totally love love love your breasts! They are totally a wish pic of mine now! I love seeing your progress as I'm a little bit shorter 5'9" but hoping to get either 533cc or 575cc, and I just hope they look like yours! My surgery is in only a few days now....wow days...but your progress has really helped me, so thank you! You look amazing!

2 month update

Hi ladies! I can't believe it's been 2 months. I'm very happy with the progress and size at this point. I know I've gone back and forth on size a lot but I am really liking the size now that I've gotten used to it and think that I would probably have had boob greed if I went smaller. They are good size breasts but you can only tell that in certain clothing. So I love that I can play them down or up for whatever my mood wants. Looking at my pics I think they are starting to "fluff" finally which to me, makes them look a little bigger naked. They don't look as narrow now. I still have some numbness on both sides (from nipples down) but the doctor said that is normal and can be that way for up to a year. I haven't talked about my incisions and I think the reason I really don't pay them any mind is because when you have bigger breast they are really hidden under the breast fold unless you lift them up to look. I'm back to doing all my regular routine and so far so good. Overall, I really like the size and am very happy with it.

They have definitely dropped in the last month! The shape is coming along perfect. I can't wait until mine aren't as narrow. Your 1mth - 2mth comparison is giving me hope mine will come out of my armpits and round out at the bottom. Great results for 2mths!! The size is perfect on you

You look great! Im very similar in stats to you but I think my breat tissue is a little more stretched out than yours before, I go Monday for my consult. What size bra are you now and what profile did you go with?
User Avatar
March 24, 2016
Thank you! That's exciting that you are starting your journey on Monday. I have not even attempted to get sized at a store because I know they are still changing (although I was tempted today at Nordstrom just for fun). I will probably get sized at month 3. I have been wearing my surgical bras from my PS this whole time :-(. I went with 605 High profile round.
