Happy birthday boobs!
WORTH IT$6,700
So, it's about 2 weeks shy of being the 2 year anniversary of my surgery. I'm so glad I documented my journey, it's crazy to look back on it all and how worried I was... and also how tight and high those pups were those first few months! At any rate, figured I'd jump on here and put up some non-bathroom selfies to show just how natural even 750cc's look once they have settled. I'm still thrilled with the results, and would def do it all over again with no changes!

So I'm almost at the 3 month mark since my revision, and I'm happy to report that not much has changed:) I am def not "perfect" by any means, and of course I have analyzed every small imperfection because, well... I'm my own worse critic. HOWEVER, guess what!? Not one single part of my entire body is perfect, and it never will be. My goal was to improve what I started with, without complications, and that goal was achieved! I work out regularly to IMPROVE, I eat healthy to IMPROVE... I did this to IMPROVE, not PERFECT. Anyone considering surgery should be sure they are going in with expectations for improvement only, otherwise you will not be happy, EVER. Best of luck girls! I will log in periodically if any of you have questions, or requests for updates... Aaaaaaaaand I very well may post some bikini pics this summer:) thank you all for your support and kind words, this site has made my experience delightful!:)

Is true that my situation i want perfection i get more strees on this process

I'm sorry to tell you, but your expectations of perfection are unrealistic, and you may not be a good candidate to have a procedure done at all if this is how you feel. NO ONE is perfect. Dont be so hard on yourself! It's good to strive to better yourself, but you will be very unhappy if you cant embrace your imperfections along with progress you make on improvements. You will ALWAYS be able to pick out flaws about yourself, try to be grateful for things you DO have and reward yourself for progress! Good luck to you, and best wishes for happy and healthy healing:)

Amen to that, Diana. Seriously, every single word. We all have this vision of what we want our boobs to look like (based on wish pics or other ladies' stats similar to ours). Surgery was a complete success for her the first time around so why not me, right?! Wrong sometimes.... Mine aren't perfect either as you know. I too am going in for a revision. Haven't discussed the date with my PS yet. I had an appointment with the tech yesterday for a second ultrasound therapy treatment on the bubble boob. My
6-month appointment is on May 20 and we'll discuss revision at that time.
I've been paying close attention to yours because I feel our breast issues are similar (lateral displacement, the one nipple pointing in the opposite direction, etc.) ... plus you also got Moderate Profile Plus like me and not HP or UHP. I've been kind of kicking myself for not insisting on HP but I went with his advice so there must have been a reason he didn't feel I was a good candidate for HP... At any rate, I think your MPPs look great and hope mine will too!
My boobs will never be PERFECT like some of the wish pic photos that I chose... I just want to get to the point where mine are better than before, like yours, and I'm not there yet. Hopefully after my revision, if as successful as yours, I will feel as you do and be happy with mine.
Yours look awesome - so much better than pre-surgery (no perfect as you noted) but you are happy with the improvement and that is all that matters... Is how YOU feel about them and about yourself in general :) Please do keep us updated. I want to see how your sutures hold up since I'm getting that also! Plus I'm going to need all your tips and tricks for recovery :)

So glad you are remaining optimistic as well as realistic about your upcoming revision. It has got to be frustrating...BUT you seem to have a very "it is what it is" mindset, and you are just moving forward instead of driving yourself crazy, which really is all you can do. You're going to do great:) Side note, dont know if I told you, BUT come to find out...my internal sutures were place to improve symmetry and position, NOT to have them sit up perfectly in place at all times, or when I lay down still....in my mind I thought they would sit there without movement like I had under wire on all the time. Well, they dont. lol...I never asked him either, I just assumed and that was a mistake on my part. Having that vision in my head was a terrible thing, and Ill tell you, the first time I laid down without a bra on and they fell some to the sides, I cried my eyes out. After I talked to him and he explained his GOAL in using them, I finally understood. Thought I'd tell you about that just in case your vision sounds anything like mine...AND just for you, I will post an update pic of laying down to compare to before later today:)
May 6, 2016
Thanks, Diana!!! Yes, I do indeed understand that all breast do fall to the sides somewhat. I am definitely hoping for symmetry. My left is more "round" then my right and my right is too far lateral and drooping. I just want it to look more in line with my left.... but I totally know when I lay down they will still fall to the sides some. That my have to do with my skin. I'm aging and my skin is not as tight and is thinning obviously.... But if he can tighten up some of the loose skin or tissues and do the sutures I'm hoping for a decent result that will last a while. I'll post a pic later too so you can see how the left is more round and the right is oval and drooping. Please do update us and keep in touch!!!!
May 6, 2016
I'll still be following you for sure;) ...and I can def tell from your pics where the bubble and oblong effect is, and for sure, that needs to be addressed. I am sure it is something they can improve on. I was thinking...I wonder if they could throw some internal sutures up under my butt cheeks? you know...to improve symmetry and shape..give em a little lift! LOL that would be hysterical! "Internal tushy bra" ....
May 6, 2016
LOL! I like that! You need to get going on that patent! But why stop there?! May as well do our thighs too :) And how come when they do the incision underneath the breast fold, how come they just can't lift our tummies while they're at it! Make it nice and flat and tight again! If there was a procedure that just pulled everything up from the top of our heads I would so be down for that!
May 9, 2016
haha!! Yea, uuumm if you could just do an insicion behind my ears and lift my body from the ankles up, thaaaat'd be great...:)

Boobie buddies!!
Thanks to realself, I not only felt very informed and confident before and after surgery... I met a great person! This chick supported me (as many if you have).. she checked up on me after surgery religiously, and has been a inspiration in other aspects! We shared the same stats with height, weight, AND saline 359-360's prior to revisions. We both went with 750 cc silicone implants for revision. Difference, she has beautiful ultra high profile, I have beautiful moderate plus profiles:) lucky enough to live less than 2 hours apart, and so we actually got to meet! What a wonderful friend to now have:) You rock Brandy! Brandybz for those who want to check out her profile!

I think it's absolutely wonderful that you two beautiful ladies have found eachother and become great friends!

Thank you! I think its so awesome:) What an overall amazing experience this time around has been.
April 21, 2016
That's fantastic!!! Youre both such exuberant women..its been a pleasure to follow the progress you've both been making. Thanks so much for the wealth of information and for being so lovely!! =)
April 21, 2016
Awww thank you! And you are very welcome! Started on here looking for info/opinions, and am so happy to help even one person be more confident in their decision:)

You two are hilarious! Wish I was closer and could join you!

I wanted to know if you have moderate, high profiles or ultra high? Are they smooth or textured? I have 700 high profile silicone smooth.
Unfortunately they are not working out for me. 5'5 128lbs I have had them for 7 months and I'm going in, in 5 days to exchange them with the newest style smooth Natrelle Enspira uhp 580cc silicone. They have the same dimensions, weird right. but lighter. Less width by 2 centimeters which I need since the implants I have now are sitting on my chest bone, and to much side boob.
I think yours look amazing and I think my doc just went to big on my frame thinking the implants I had before were bigger than they were.
Regardless these suckers are coming out.
I don't want a lift either so I'm sticking with being in a D size range. I know I'll need pocket work as well but doc said I may not need pocket revision. Which worries me. From what you said it sounds likely. He said it doesn't hold long term. Has your held for you? You mentioned you may have popped a stitch? Ugh I'm nervous. I don't want to go through this again.

Thank-you for the compliment! Mine are mentor smooth mod plus profiles...I thought I would need a lift too, but from what I understand, the poor position (over dissection of the pockets laterally) of my previous implants was the reason I was looking so saggy...come to find out, the internal sutures were used to create symmetry and better positioning...and the sheer volume and diameter of the new implants filled out the flat areas. So it wasnt so much the sutures pushing them up and in, it's that the larger implants fill out the pockets that were too large. The sutures corrected where the pockets were misshaped. I never really found out if i popped a stitch or not. They place several layers of sutures in the different layers of tissue, so one popping isnt necessarily going to make a difference either way. As long as you wear underwire and keep them supported, after your scar tissue forms and takes over (thats where the strength of them comes from, not from the sutures themselves) its about 90% as strong as natural tissues, but never 100%. If you are going smaller and lighter, I think you will be just fine:)

How cool is that. I'm 5'9", 135 lbs, 55 yrs old, but I only got 425' s...lol. I too learned so much from this site. I'm gonna try to put my journey on here soon. Maybe at 4 months, when I pray, I'm all settled down.
April 25, 2016
Other tall girls are hard to find, arent they? lol...def post your journey, I'd love to see how you did! Either way, best of luck!:)
