WORTH IT
It has almost even 5 years since my surgery and I am still in love with my implants. I went from wishing they were bigger to wishing they were smaller, and loving right where they are at.
Dr. Pousti did recommend a smaller CC initially due to my frame my I decided I didn’t want “boob greed” and to have wished I went bigger later on. Well after 5 years I will say, listen to your surgeon! You are going to them because you trust them! Although I went through spurts of size envy, ultimately your surgeon knows best. I am at a different place in life than I was 5 years ago. I am apply with the size of my implants and the projection, however I wish I had more middle cleavage As opposed to more side boob. They tend to interfere with daily activities. My posture is terrible because they’re heavy and honestly when I hold proper posture and stick my boobs out, I get a little self conscious. When I decide to go back in lol I love you for a smaller CC more natural projection, depending what the surgeon recommends. I do absolutely love my curves! I feel like it’s easy to dress to provocative tough. Even a plain t shirt can feel minimal. I do still get some pain which I’m unsure if it’s normal or not. I also can’t do push ups and working out and running are issues. Back pains, neck pains, finding a bra pains, it’s all true! Worth it, by absolutely consider those things when your surgeon brings them up. They know best! I’ll share some photos of what 5 years looks like, hint- still close to brand new! I’ve had very minimal “drop” so I have the perky “fake” look I was going for- also due to genetics what the surgeon said was easily obtainable with this implant placement and profile. Seriously Dr. Pousti and his staff are incredible and he is the best of the best!

I have a few questions. Are they saline or silicone? Are these still your 590's? Are they over or under the muscle?

My goodness. I feel like I have neglected this site and an update. I thought I posted way more pictures but I was wrong! I guess my theory of people not really reporting news if there is only good news still holds tact. I am so so so happy with my results! I feel like I have gone a whole year of wearing a bra and am finally benefitting from some slight change by allowing my self a little more freedom and going braless time to time. I get super paranoid about doing something to ruin them. I also found that push up bras are still a girl's or THE girls' best friend! I was having an extremely difficult time find a bra that fit comfortably, I shunned push up bras because, well.. when you're a 32F with ultra high profile who needs that?! I've found, however, that the padding in the push up bras is more for comfort as opposed to actually being a push up. I mean.. sure.. it does do SOMETHING... but they just fit better than every non padded bra i've tried on. And I just like the look more!
I haven't had ANY pain. I notice I can tend to get sore if I use my arms a lot but I still hike every weekend, I went skydiving on my 30th birthday, I run, I notice if I keep them in a bra ALL the time that I am usually pretty sore by the end of the day. OR if I go too long with too little support. but other than that everything is fantastic! My scars look great and really only have a small problem with scar tissue on the right side but if I were more consistent with massage I feel like it wouldn't be so bad. I still feel like I need to massage them into shape sometimes. I guess i'm just a pretty tense person. I don't do the whole relax thing. I have a lot of pictures to update! I'll be posting more on how my 1 year check up goes! I haven't seen Dr. Pousti in forever! I miss visiting everyone at the office!

I just had my BA on Tuesday with Dr. Pousti. 590cc's and am wondering where you were able to find bras? I'm thinking it's going to be difficult for me as well to find a size. Thanks, and by the way your breasts look amazing.

Well This update is LONG over due! But let me just say my girls are great! I haven't been massaging nearly as much as I should I'm sure, and I'm still too chicken to go braless for long! When I feel like they're not that big I look at my before and after photo and realize there is a huge difference! I am still considering going larger as I want HUGE implants, but this was an amazing start and I couldn't have found a better surgeon! I feel like i'm either used to the size or my weight gain impacted the effect my boobs had on my frame. I feel like in clothes I am a B cup. BUT either way- I HAVE AMAZING BREASTS!!! Dr. Pousti is incredible!!!
