3 months and 1 week post op!

Hello,

Haven't updated in a while but feel like my boobs have changed a lot in appearance! They dropped a lot since my last update. They are pretty soft now! I started doing more stuff in the gym even though it makes my chest flex! No pain or anything. I'm back to my normal lifestyle and schedule!

Working out

Hi there,

Many people are speaking to me saying they regret there implants and I will too. I think that it's a very bias comment. You can't say everyone will feel the same way. Every one is different like for instance if one of the reasons you regret yours is because they are droopy after a couple years... And you have a history of severe weight gain and weight loss obviously the elasticity of your skin is going to be much different than someone who's never had drastic weight fluctuations. I welcome all comments but ones who are saying "way better" on my before boobs clearly you read my entire posts and saw that I am 6.5 weeks post op. Your comment would of been useful and more welcomed pre BA, but now it's just rude and bias. Non the less I put reviews on here to help people who are considering a breast augmentation and also to help my self with comments and opinions while I was deciding on one. I really have an idgaf attitude but some people's ignorance is just annoying. Also on this site I have had men comment on my picture.... When I go look at their profile it said they just became a member and only had one comment. What a loser you make a profile just to comment on my picture. I have had men private message me one in particular said "nice [RS bleep] full frontals would be awesome" I'm just pointing out some of the rudeness I have encountered so ladies becareful if your reading this and want to give back to the community by posting your story!

Since this post is supposed to be about working out, I will now talk about some of the issues I have had so far! Luckily during the 6-7 weeks I took off the gym, I didn't loose much strength yay! However getting back into my normal workout routine hasn't been the easiest. The soreness that I feel after working out is similar to the sorness I felt from the BA about 2 weeks post op. Not to bad but different then normal working out sorness. Also a lot of exercises I did on cables, or with free weights really flexes my chest muscle. This freaks me out and I do not want to dislodge my implants, I want them to stay nice and close together. I was told over time a lot of working out the chest can push your implants apart. I would say this is the hardest part is trying to come up with new exercises to work my back out that is not using my chest as a secondary muscle. For some reason when I do exercises for my back my chest flexes.

I also will never do a pull up again. The implants move so much, it's crazy and can't be good on them. I'm trying to treat them kindly! Which is kind of sad for me because I am a very competitive person and my husband and I like to have pull up contests. Lol!!

Push ups don't feel as strange as pull ups! You can feel your implants move a bit but not as much as I did when trying to do a pull up.... This is also sad to me because again I would have push up contests with the hubby.... I will probably still do a couple every now and then but I will no longer shoot for hitting a high number of reps here as I want my implants to stay as they are!

Handstands..... No difference here! I can still do handstands doesn't feel any different on my implants. At least I have something I can work at. Holding them longer is a goal.

That's really all I have to comment on so far. I knew that getting implants put under the muscle was going to disrupt my routine but I thought it would be a temporary disruption and for certain things it seems more permanent.

I'm attaching a picture to show how small they look in clothing like a workout tank and sports bra! Which is exactly what I wanted. Concealable but big naked! :)

Dr. Tutela did my surgery yesterday, I couldn't be more pleased with him! He is such a caring sweet person. Really listens to what you want. As soon as he walked in to talk to me yesterday I felt at ease and knew my surgery would go just fine. He has such an upbeat, positive personality and I wouldn't trust anyone else to operate on me. My consultation, he spent an hour and a half with me talking to me about what I want and even showed me pictures. He was very thorough in explaining everything from how the surgery will go, the complications that can happen and etc. I went to 4 surgeons before choosing him and I can honestly say he spent the most time with me and didn't make me feel rushed in anyway. He also took so many measurements to let me know which size, shape, and profile would be best suited for me! I drove an hour and a half to see him and to be operated on and would do it again in a heart beat! He's the best!
