Haven't updated in awhile. I still
Love my results, I feel they continue to improve over time. I still massage them from time to time, mainly bc my chest gets tight when I workout. My fitness level was back up to speed, however I do avoid specific heat exercises bc I don't like the
Pulling feeling and how tight my chest gets. I can still do full body push ups, I just choose not to do 50 at a time! I can still do inversions. I have developed my upper back and shoulders more to provide better support for my chest.
I've included updated pics below (although I am squishy at the moment due to pms and stress eating the last few weeks????)
Recently I've been massaging the scars with Rosehip seed oil and they continue to get smaller and less noticeable. My left breast is slightly smaller, but this was my anatomy before BA and it is only noticable if I take pics head on with my arms out (and who stands like that irl??)

Wow, you look great! Very pretty results. So glad you updated us. How was swimsuit season last summer? Did you get many inquiries? ;)

It's funny, I spent so long obsessing about boobs, but the last week or so, I've been preoccupied with other things. I've gotten used to them and still love them :)
I recently went to Nordstrom Rack to buy new bras. I told my doc I wanted to look the way I did in my VS 32D bras (but obv without a bra!) and he did just that. They have settled down and I fit perfectly into my old, unlined 32D bras! However, I spill out of the padded 32Ds so I needed more unlined ones.
I fit into 32D in most brands. In Wacoal and Chantelle, I am closer to a 30DD. I also love the way I look on strapless dresses. My new favorite bras are the lacy ones, I feel my shape looks most natural on those.
As far as feeling, the pulling i had in my right boob has subsided. I've been massaging my breasts and scars and one day, I realized no pulling. Morning boob is getting better. I can sleep comfortably on my side. Yesterday I even got Thai massage. They use foam mattresses instead of the hard massage tables, and they gave me a pillow to put under my breasts when I was on my belly. I told her at the start I had breast augmentation, so she flipped me over after about 20 minutes.
I still have some numbness on the lower portion but it is fading. Some days I get the sandpaper feeling, but not often.
I still have not worked out yet, not bc I can't buy bc I have been busy with other things. The incisions feel fine. They are smoothing out. I do feel tightness underneath the breasts, about an inch below the incisions. I use ScarFade gel twice daily and slather the entire chest with cocoa butter every night to help smooth the skin.

Hi, my stats and body shape are very similar to yours. Did you get rounds or teardrop? My doc has recommended teardrop and just trying to get an idea of how they will look!

I got the silicone Mentors which have a round base, however the nature of silicone is to form a teardrop shape when it is in the body. Have you looked at the pics of the docs work in the office? My doctor had a much more extensive photo gallery in office vs online so I was able to get an idea of the finished look on body types similar to my own. Originally I was afraid of the implants showing, but now I love the curve along the side. I feel it adds more curve to my body. Keep asking your doctor questions and try to get another consult or two with other recommended surgeons in your area. Many doctors use different techniques and implants to get the desired look. Good luck!

You look great. My breasts are almost identical to your pre op breasts and nipples so I thank you for posting about your journey. Now I can see what is possible :) I have an appointment with a surgeon on the 13th January so fingers crossed he will be able to help me.

2 weeks post op
The day I posted my last review, I started using arnica cream and performing lymph drain massage on myself. Wouldn't you know, the next day both breasts felt the same size. They still have a long way to drop. I've mentioned I was very fit before, so I think it will take longer for the muscle to fully relax.
I've been feeling good. Taking it easy. I have full range of motion and more strength but taking it easy as far as workouts go bc next week we are moving across town so I am savoring my last few days of laziness! I have been massaging my breasts as instructed and I can finally stretch my chest.
I pulled the steri-strips off today. I made the mistake of watching a YouTube video of breast surgery, so i initially thought something was hanging out of the incision! Then I remembered the nurse saying it is lumpy bc he overlapped he skin to help ease the scar (or something). I immediately rubbed coconut oil on the incisions, cleaned them then applied the ScarFade gel my doc provided.
The nipples are healing nicely. My left was always inverted, while the right was more flat with slight inversion pre- breast feeding. I noticed the right nipple has better projection and shape and the left still has an inverted tip, but I love them so much more than their previous state that I don't care???? most of the dissolvable stitches have fallen off the nipples.
Overall, I am happy with the size. I hope the will drop more, as I've never had fullness in the upper pole so I am not used to it. They have at least lost the corners and look round. I look forward to seeing what changes come!

You look good! I'm 16 days post op so our surgeries were close together. We definitely still have lots of dropping to do. Then softening and fluffing. All that good stuff takes time but I'm anxiously waiting too! Happy healing!

Thanks! I have another guy friend going for surgery in December. I gave her some advice I wish I had taken - stop working the chest 2-3
Months pre-op! It is only in the last weekend can feel the
Muscle relaxing and the breasts getting softer!

You are looking great!!!! Lots more changes to come so no worries there ;) They will look more and more natural everyday and one day you will wake up and feel you've always had them. I'm 20 months post op and honestly can't imagine not having them as they feel completely a part of me :) Best wishes to you in your recovery and thank-you for visiting my profile! Xo
I'm going in on the 15th to have BA that will hopefully correct inverted nipples, something I've lived with my whole life, but definently worse after feeding two ten pound babies. My PS recommend trying the implants first, if that doesn't correct the inversion I'm to go back after I've healed for the ducts to be cut. So fingers crossed.
You look amazing, I'm hoping for the same result xx
@sher96, good luck and please feel free to start a review of your own!
