It's been 2 years since my breast augmentation. In the early days of my new augmentation my nipples were ultra sensitive. I worried they'd never get back to normal, but finally did so after several weeks. Other than that and the horrible massages (exceptionally painful) the Experience was good. So why am I back on RS?
1. To echo the many women that say a BA is absolutely worth it.
2. To admit that I want an upgrade.

Now that I'm use to the girls they don't look as novel as they once were and alas they arent as large and high as I'd like. So, I'm officially in search of information on BA revisions.
My implants dropped quite a bit and you cannot tell I've had an augmentation. Which is great except for the fact that it looks like I need a boob job!! (See Exhibit A)
I have 450cc HP unders. The doc gave me quite a bit of side boob, but I'd like far more upper pole and overall fullness. the 450ccs were good until they rested Fully in the pocket. I will probably need an internal bra or lift and am thinking 700s or even 800s.
I'm worried about the complications of the larger size as well as recovery after a 2nd augmentation. Any XL Or 2nd+ BA ladies out there with advice?

Do you think you'd go back to Dr Crofts for your 2nd? I was originally scheduled with him but surgery has been on the back burner again. I'm asking because they considered my augmentation to be 'xl' (wanting 600 cc's on my first surgery)

Time is a BAs best friend. I feel so much more comfortable now that I am 1 week post op. I feel very tender on the sides of my ribcage and my nipples have been at attention since the surgery, but it is 10Xs better than a week ago. I was back at work on post op day 5 and made it all the way through without a hiccup. I have a desk job and made sure to stay there. :)

So far, the implants are still riding high, but I am noticing changes. Mine still feel rock hard, though they are beginning to soften. The nurse told me most patients notice a big difference at week 2 or 3, so I will be patient.

I must admit, I never took Arnica or Bromelain and wonder if I should have. You ladies that took them, do you think they made a noticeable difference. I know it's hard to say.

Anywho, I love my new curves so far and have been stalking every swimsuit site out there looking for flattering bikini tops. Can't wait for summer!!!

Doc said I'm not supposed to wear a bra for 2 months, but I needed a little pick me up after having cabin fever for 3 days. I tried on a 34C in the VS bras. They are probably too small.

Are they silicone or saline? Over or under the muscle? Forgive me if you've already answered this. They look great.
