An update finally!

It has taken me way too long to update, I apologize if anyone was actually following me! I'm loving my new breasts six months later. I'm back to working out fully and it's been great, no problems at all! I do a lot of push ups and they don't feel weird or bother my implants at all. That was a big concern for me.
They turned out a full 32D, which I said would bother me, but I was wrong. They're very proportionate to my body. I now understand why it is advised to go into a consult with a look in mind rather than a bra size. I pictured a D cup as way too large for my body, but if I had ended up with the B cup I requested, I would have been so disappointed with my results! I'll try to update more later, it's a total pain on my phone right now.

Five week update...
Five weeks today and I'm feeling great. I feel like I already have pretty natural looking results for having gone with high profile. I was a little worried about the projection, given that I wanted a very natural smallish look. I think they turned out great though.
I have decided that I was crazy for wishing I'd gone bigger! It was just a little case of boob greed hitting! I came to this definite conclusion after I went bra shopping and realized that I am now a 34C!!! Even though I was originally going for a B cup I am happy with the size I am. The strange thing is no matter how many times I measured and re-measured, whenever I used an online bra calculator before I went shopping, it put me at a 34B. Thank goodness I held off on ordering anything online! Anyway, I am happy with a C. I really don't think they look that big though. I would have been upset if I ended up a D cup, but I can live with a C! I did buy one push up bra for date night though, that made them look like D cups for sure! I posted a pic of it :)
I've started lower body workouts, but I am easing into them. I have gained a few pounds and am very excited to get back to it! I don't mind gaining a few pounds nearly as much now though, with boobs to balance my round booty out! I meet with my trainer on Friday to get a more in depth work out started. My trainer is awesome, I set up one $40 session every six to eight weeks and he gives me one or two workouts that I do on my own until I meet with him again. I love lifting and I have enough experience to do it on my own, but this way I get the benefit of workouts created by a very knowledgeable personal trainer! He has experience training women with implants too, which I think is important.
Anyway, things are going great. I love my new boobies and look forward to getting feeling back in them! That is actually my biggest complaint about this whole process so far- I hate having numb boobs and I didn't expect to have to wait so long to get my feeling back! Like I said though, overall I am very happy and think Dr. Fleming did an amazing job.

Very happy for you. Great results. I completely agree this size perfect for you. I had the same thoughts about my size around 2 weeks post op . I am 9 weeks now and very happy with my results. They got softer and looks like my muscles finally not as tight . I went bra shopping couple days ago and I am 32DD. It was 32D at 3 weeks post op.
I am glad you happy with your size you look beautiful.
All the best

Thank you! It's such a relief to have a smooth recovery. Better than I could have hoped for!
April 21, 2017
Ahhh you look fantastic!! So happy for you! They are the perfect size for you. I hope I have the same results! :)
April 21, 2017
Thank you! I think a big part of the reason I've had a pretty easy recovery and good results was because I went with a smallish implant. Just choose a doctor you trust and a size you truly want and I'm sure you'll have great results! I'll be following your review :)
April 21, 2017
Looking great mama! Congrats on a nice recovery. You're coming out of the weeds! Yay for the drop and fluff.
April 21, 2017
Yes, I've been quite blessed with an easy d&f. I know it can take a long time sometimes. Thank you! I'm enjoying them! :)
April 21, 2017
Actually I didn't even realize how much they've dropped just in the last week until I was looking at last weeks straight on pic just now compared to this weeks!
April 22, 2017
You should do a side by side for us! They're so helpful. I feel like I look as high and tight as day one. They're softening a little but not even close to dropping.
April 22, 2017
Wow! Congratulations on your fabulous new look! I am 5'1, 117lbs, getting my surgery in 6 days! I am nervous but excited at the same time. I am getting 500cc overfilled to 550cc, in my mind it's go big or go home! LOL, I have always been flat chested and I am ready to have boobs! I am going under the muscle since I do martial arts, and my PS says the incisions will heal faster going under the muscle and the scars won't show.
It is good to hear that your recovery seems to be going smooth. Thank you for sharing your story - it's encouraging!

That's awesome! What kind of martial arts do you train in? I'm looking forward to getting back to Brazilian Jiu Jitsu. Do you ever worry though that bigger boobs will be in the way of training? I've worried about that a little, but we'll just have to see how it goes I guess!
I'm sure your results will be amazing. Just go with a doctor you trust completely, trust your own instincts on size (as long as your doctor approves of course!), and you'll be fine. A lot of my friends thought I was crazy for going with a small implant, but I knew what I wanted and I have no regrets. If you want big then go big! After something as big as surgically altering your body, the last thing you want is to regret making a choice based on someone else's opinion who doesn't have to live in your body!
It will be over before you know it and you'll be in the road to recovery :) I'll have to follow your story!

I study a form of Taekwondo the 3 Sensei's in our dojo come from different martial arts backgrounds and also teach us a mixture of Judo, Kemp, And Kung fu. I LOVE it :) I also want to study Krav Maga, but it isn't being taught in my area right now.
My older sister got her BA back in her 20s, she has had hers (she's a full D cup) for over 20 years now, and she works out 7 days a week and studies martial arts and doesn't complain that her boobs get in the way.
I agree with you completely! I go by instinct, it is not like me to not follow what I feel. In fact, I had a weird experience with one of the employees in the PS office - she kind of rubbed me wrong, however I really like the doctor, so instead of cancelling my surgery, I scheduled another appointment and talked to the doctor about how she rubbed me wrong at my pre-op appointment, and after talking with the doctor, I was more convinced he was the right man for the job. He was incredibly understanding about my concerns and apologetic about his employee.
I decided to go big, because I have always wanted bigger breasts. And I could have gone much bigger, they let me try on 600cc, and I thought it was way too big for me! I believe that this surgery will help me to feel more feminine and sexy. I am engaged, so I don't care about being more attractive to other men. My fiance wasn't not on the bandwagon back in December when I told him I wanted to get this done, but since we have talked a lot about the reasons I want to get it done, and he has changed his tune and has become more supportive. He is taking time off of work to take care of me and his support and his encouragement regarding my surgery fears (he works in family practice medicine), has helped me with my surgery fears in the last couple of weeks.
I am very excited to get this done and in the last few days, my anxiety has shifted more towards anticipation and excitement and that is a really good feeling :)

You look great already, natural and perfect size for you. I will be very pleased with similar results and I hope in will drop as quickly. Best of wishes.

I'm so excited to be wearing my post-op bra for the last time today! I will now be allowed to wear any bra that is comfortable. That is going to be so nice.
I'm still happy with my results. As I've said I go back and forth on my size, but I'm pretty happy with what I went with I've decided. I would have been too self-conscious any bigger. I've caught a few men staring at them since my ba and that always makes me happy I didn't go any bigger!
They're so much softer and squishier now, I love it. My husband continues to love them as well! One thing that kind of bugs me though is the way my boobs look weird when I do anything with my chest muscles. Like when I push down on something or just use my pecs in general my muscles kind of flatten the implants out a little and look weird. Hopefully not enough to be noticeable, I did show my husband last night though since he hadn't noticed. Of course it doesn't bother him! Anyone else experiencing this?

LOVE your results. Keep updating us!
April 13, 2017
Thank you! Sometimes I get down on the little details I don't like about them (the gap, the weird muscle movements, scars), so it's nice to get some outside input. Plus, I just remind myself of how flat I was and what an improvement this is!
April 12, 2017
You look fab. I really like the last pic that you said you don't like - I think they look great. As far as flexing - yes. This is because you had them placed under the muscle. I am now back to doing push-ups with no restrictions and they move laterally. It's weird. I'm getting used to it and I don't think anyone else can see it. But it's going to be like that forever.
April 13, 2017
I knew I would experience it with working out eventually, I just didn't expect it to happen with every little movement! It is weird! Doing push ups shouldn't cause them to move out of place or anything though? Other than the movement of the implants under your pecs are push ups feeling okay? And thank you, by the way. I feel like I'm more critical of them than other people, of course :)
April 13, 2017
mine don't seem to move with every little movement, but maybe it's because your muscles are getting used to them. I'm not sure. If you search in the "ask the doctors" section here about doing push ups after implants, there are conflicting opinions. Some docs say never do them again, because over time, it can create lateral displacement. Other docs say go for it. I like to practice yoga too much to give them up, so I'm doing them. They just feel a bit weird, but I'm hoping I'll get used to it. And yes, we are always our own worst critics.
April 14, 2017
I guess saying every little movement is a bit much. It's not exactly that bad. It's just something to get used to. I'll see what my doctor's personal opinion is on push ups. My trainer doesn't think it should be a problem. Not that he's a doctor, but he researches on behalf of his clients pretty extensively, and he's trained women with implants before. I just can't wait to get back into shape now that I have boobs! Walking is about boring me to death! :)
April 13, 2017
You look great! Your size is so perfect. I forget what RS user so generously shared a video of pectoral distortion during exercise. But it's on here somewhere for your viewing pleasure. It's pretty funky looking in the video but you may appreciate it. We are so much more aware of ourselves than anyone else is. It's a small compromise to having fabulous bewbs! Nobody will notice. As for the gap you mention that you get down on sometimes, did your PS show you any massages you can do to minimize it or does your anatomy just make it unlikely to change? I think a healthy gap is nice and natural but I know I'm hoping for a smaller than larger one too once results settle in...you still have settling to do. There's a nice RS user who has posted a "gap progress" pic also. I will try to find and post to my review...
April 14, 2017
Yeah, some of the RS users have been very in depth and helpful. I will have to look for those. As I get used to it I don't think it will bother me so much. And like you said it's a small compromise! :)
April 14, 2017
Same Here! I think it's the price we pay for implants being less visible...my muscles after exercises are so tight there's like a strange line going across my boob for a few hours. But it doesn't bother me cos it disappears so don't stress out over it xx
April 14, 2017
So, it doesn't bother you too much? I'll just have to ease into things and let my body get used to it. When did you get yours done?
April 15, 2017
Im more bothered about the firmness tbh. As your muscle stretches and gets used to the implant it should improve. I had mine done 4yrs ago. But I've also stopped doing chest exercises that really use my pecs. I read somewhere that if you're going under the muscle you should forget about exercising your upper body

I too was very worried about them being noticable. I really didn't want to go from being self conscious about having no breasts to being self conscious about large noticable breasts. I know a lot of women would consider my small implants a waste of time and money perhaps, but they are exactly what I wanted and I couldn't be happier with them.
Make sure to find a good doctor who can give you results that look natural and not overly obvious and who makes you feel comfortable. Size wise I would say just go with a size that you feel comfortable with and don't let anyone talk you into going bigger than you want. Lots of friends told me to go big, but that just was not what I wanted. I also went with high profile instead of ultra high profile so that they aren't so rounded at the top that they have that fake look to them. Hope this helps! Just ask if you have any more questions :)
