Anatomical 420cc - Layton, UT

I'm almost four months post op. About two weeks ago I had my three month post op with Dr. Yates. It was very quick but I felt like it was a thorough examination. He said he's not worried about the slight numbing feeling I have in my left breast (lower pole area) and that gave me some relief. However, yesterday and today I started feeling slight numbing on my right breast (lower pole area) and that's weird because my right breast never experienced any numbing in the past. Am I delaying the healing somehow? If I can't find any answers on here, I'll email Dr. Yates.

I'm still really happy with my results, I just wish I could figure out how to help my body heal better and kick all those numb feelings away.

Somethings are the same and somethings have changed since my last post.

First, my breasts are a lot softer. On a scale from one to ten, ten being the softest/natural breast tissue feeling, I'd say my implants feel like an eight. I knew in the beginning these anatomical implants would be more firm but the look and safety off the implant was more important to me.

Second, I still get tingles in my left breast. I feel it in the nipple to the lower pole area. It's different from "zingers," in the beginning. And it usually happens when I'm lifting and pulling a lot of weight too often (I don't think I know how to sit and be lazy).

Third, off and on my left nipple is sensitive and part of the left breast lower pole is still a little numb.

Sleeping without a bra is uncomfortable, everything is too free. I always wear a sports bra to bed.

I purchased this Danskin Sports Brs at Walmart and I love it. I purchased six. It's a 32DDD but I also fit into a 34DD (the band was too loose for my taste) however, to the naked eye, I look like a full C cup which is the look I wanted.

I'm very happy with my results. I have even more respect for plastic surgery, especially for gifted plastic surgeons like Dr. York Yates.

My husband feared that this procedure would change me (in a bad way and of course I was offended but understood) and now he sees that I'm the same person only I'm a very content person... and I don't complain about my weight anymore, haha ??.

All is well.

I went for a little three mile run two days ago and about half way through my run I realized I didn't feel a much of a difference running with a full chest. I had two sport bras on (Danskin brand Medium and Hanes brand 34 band size) which gave me a lot of support and minimized any bounce. I've been a runner since I was twelve years old so it was sweet relief that my run felt so normal.

I wanted to wait till three month mark to get a supportive bra but I needed it around seven weeks. At Victoria Secrets 32DD bras fit best but I ditched that store because everything was underwire. At Macy's I found Calvin Klein 32DD to fit pretty well. The diameter of the cup is perfect but I feel like the volume of the cup is a wee bit too small but good enough because at that point I was done and tired of searching for a 32 band size in anything. A friend told me about the "Bra Bar Boutique," in Salt Lake City and I'm so anxious to go soon because they'll probably have my weird "I'm between this and that" size.

My bust still measures 36.75 inches. They feel so much softer. Left lower pole still feels a little numb most of the time. I never realized just how active I was/am and how often I use my pectoral muscles. Certain movements move the implants and that doesn't feel normal. I avoid or ease up those movements to avoid that weird feeling. However, I feel so happy with my results right now, I'm really curious to what my bust will look and feel like at six months or even twelve months.

In clothes I can't tell a difference, it's fabulous. I still feel like myself but then BAM when I take my shirt off, I'm a hottie. Well, I feel like a hottie and that's all that matters.
