Everything feels great and looks great! Hoping areola scars continue to fade. Am so happy I did it!

Doc and all staff were great to deal with. Everyone at the office is friendly and were always there to answer my questions making me feel comfortable with my procedure. This was a great experience that caused me a lot of unnecessary anxiety.

Looks great! What bra size are you now? I'm pretty lopsided as well and am concerned with getting two different size implants that are not just slightly different but like 100cc different (I measure at least a cup size different on each side). Do you notice much the difference in implant size vs actual breast tissue on each side? Hope that makes sense, lol.

I'm a 32DDD and previously was a 34D. My implants were way different, but I don't notice at all. My left which has the smaller implant is still a touch bigger, but I think you'd have to know to notice.

Finally took the Steri-strips off to get a better look at my lift incisions. Seem to be healing as expected. Started using Biocorneum over scars, twice a day.

My breasts feel great without a bra and I can feel the implant on my right more with a bra on. My breasts are a bit sore underneath and feeling is starting to come back there. Nothing too bothersome though. My nipples are sensitive. Feels like when I was breastfeeding.

Very happy with my improved breasts!

All is going well and I can't believe it's been a week! Thankfully my surgery and recovery was a piece of cake! I really had no problems.

Post op appt was Monday and doc said all went well and I'm healing great. Once steri-strips come off, I'm going to use Biocorneum on my incisions.

Only bothersome part is that when I have a bra on, it seems that I can feel my implants. Almost as if I have two balls in my breasts. When the bra comes off, the sensation goes away. Doc wasn't concerned. Instructed me to hold my breasts up twice a day for a minute to prevent scar tissue from forming. Will do this for a month.

I am super happy! I have found that everyone's experience is so different because of bodies and doctor's technique. Hopefully yours will be as smooth as mine.

My left breast will always be bigger as my ribs on that side are higher than my right. Something I never noticed until my PS pointed it out. There is actually less breast tissue there than my right, but my ribs project it out more. Weird.

They're looking pretty nice for 1 week out. I'm having a Benelli lift as well next Thursday!

I have been searching for months for someone that is anatomically like me suffering from the same issue. I have the same problem you had. We are the exact same size and people think that I am out of my mind to even consider an implant with a lift. I am so glad that you shared your story and have been so detailed in all aspects of the procedure and recovery process. The results thus far look great...and that is something that I really could not find. Just know, I am stealing your doc..lol :)
THANK YOU!!!
