6 year post surgery update
WORTH IT$7,380
Hello all! It is hard to believe it has been six years since surgery! My weight has fluctuated anywhere from 125lbs to 135lbs. I am still in 32 or 34 DDD depending on where my weight is at the time.
They are still huge, firm in terms of they still sit up on their own but soft to the touch. Scars around the areola are barely visible.
If I remember I had mentor 450HP silicone smooth round sub muscular (under the muscle). I had mine placed just slightly further apart bc I wanted more side fullness, well I got it! Still plenty in the middle as well!
I was a 32A, you can go back and look at my original pics to see there was nothing there. So yes ladies you can go from flat as a board to voluptuous :).
I would say really do your homework and research. I had a great surgeon. I am still in hindsight not sure if I would have gone smaller. Yes you read that right. At 5’5 125-135 triple D’s are bigger than you think.
On the flip side I do like the way they look in clothing, I am very conservative in my dressing so only if it is unavoidable will they be peeking out but it definitely gives my figure nice accentuated curves.
I see now they are asking for a receipt for verification but it has been so long I am fairly certain that is long gone. Somewhere I do have mentor boxes the surgeon gave me, if I can find them I will add them to the post.
I wish you luck in your venture!

Almost 2.5 years
I only have one quick pic. Sorry it is not the best quality lightning was not great and in a hurry. I feel like things are settled, but still perky. 45, almost 5'6 (loosing height according to my gyn
;-), 130lbs, 32-34 DDD, just depends on the bra brand. I am content with outcome. However, in hindsight I would have done a bit more research. Clothes always seem to be a bit of an issue, a little smaller may have been better but I still have finally grown to love them!
Ladies, remember everyone's body is different and while it is helpful to the surgeon to have an idea, taking a pic in and saying I want to look like this is not realistic. I was a 32A. My doc had to really stuff these 450cc's HP Mentor Silcone Round into my chest. Probably to big in hindsight.
I do believe, and again just my opinion that taller women can carry larger sizes, petite women that I have seen in person, not on RS, look ridiculous, again in my opinion w/ giant breast, it's just not natural looking. At 5'6 I can carry this off bc I dress them down. On a woman 5'8 450cc's may not be large enough. It is all so individualized to the patient so do your homework!
Good luck to all who are starting the process and happy healing to those in the post phase! XO

Hello New2023: Thank you for sharing. You look beautiful. Your result sure gives me some hope! I am going for a revision next week, I have asked for 600 HP Silicone as I am 5'8"; 140 lbs; was 34 A. Not sure how it would look on a 44 year old lady, I was a bit concerned as I do not wish to look top heavy at this age ( I will be 45 in a few days!!) But looking at your result I feel optimistic!! BTW are you able do any upper body workout such as push ups after having BA with larger implants? Do they get in the way or feel awkward ? Just wondering how the larger implants will effect my physical activities!

Hi! First, best wishes for a speedy recovery w/ your revision next week! I would have to say yes with larger implants upper body exercises are not as comfortable but "doable". I did not restart upper body exercises until just last spring. My implants are under my muscle completely too. I hope that helps. xo

Thank you! I suppose I just have to modify my workout and try my best to save my investment along with toning up my saggy arms!!
You never think about these unexpected restrictions when you go crazy over having larger perkier prettier boobs!! I suppose I just can't have it all!! Thank you for the info...:)

Your results look wonderful. I am having a total Mommy Makeover this year and I love your BA results. I will need a lift and I have quite a bit more to start with but it is so hard to know what will look good on each individual. I am only 5' 1 1/2" so a lot shorter than you also. I just keep looking at before and afters. Thanks for all your advise

Wow!!! You look amazing !!! Do you feel they changed a Lot and got bigger after six weeks? I'm six weeks now with 450 from a 32a before first BA and I feel so small. They look small in clothes. I'd be ecstatic if I ended up with your results !! Let me know what you think

Hi! Thank you for the compliment. I do think once they drop and fluff they will be larger. You have such a small frame I can't imagine they won't look big. I have a small-medium frame and about 2 inches taller and about 15lbs more and I have to down play mine a lot bc I feel like they look to big most of the time. They still kind of get in the way when I play golf. I am happy w/ mine but if I had a do over I probably would have done 300 maybe 350. It is all also such personal preference. I will say it has taken a couple years for them to truly look like they r natural and belong to me. I also gained weight from when I had surgery and I have to say I like having the extra weight, the boobs meld more w/ my body :-). Good luck w/ recovery! Keep updating! Xo

Thank you so much for responding ! I can't wait for them to be fuller and look bigger. Being patient is so hard. I can't believe how natural yours look and how they have continued to get fuller and fuller. :)

I wasn't just small, from playing sports most of my life I was always very muscular but not in an anorexic way. Even after breast feeding (they went up to an amazing C cup!) but they snapped back without any sagging, my gyn had said that was just genes and luck :-) My PS said it would take quite awhile for my breast to truly relax bc it was such a large implant going completely under the muscle and my skin has very strong elasticity, so I think that is why it truly has taken a couple years for them to stretch, fill out and relax. I guess not a bad thing to have. She does not think I will ever need them replaced bc of my skin elasticity. I guess time will tell :-)

You look awesome!!! Do you feel like they keep fluffing??? I am two years post BA and I feel like my boobs just changed again.

Hi! Thank you for the compliment. I took a look at your profile and I think your BS looks great! Perfect size for your body. I still do notice a little change even 2 1/2 year later. I feel like they are still relaxing a bit. I think I am quite a bit older than you so you may not like the bra style I wear, but I was reading about your issue with bras. I don't wear VS bras bc I find them ill made and not truly supportive. Natori, is one of favorite brands, my favorite style is the glamour full coverage (not as grandma sounding as the name ;-) I am not a big fan of demi cut bras bc I feel like regardless of hoe big I go in the cup they are still pushing up to my chin and I don't like that look under clothes. Natori has several styles that you may like and they are very comfortable. Chantelle is also a brand I like for the more sexy styles that provide support. I wouldn't worry about them changing, they will change naturally as you get older regardless of BA or no BA. I hope that helps :-) xo

You're a sweetheart, and I really appreciate your feedback!! Thank you, I am happy with my results, just little changes here and there still freak me out, ha ha!
I have also heard of these brands but I thought they are European, and I am so hesitant to order bras online.

2 Years and very happy
I posted back in May but my actual two year mark was the very end of August. So I wanted to give another quick update. I know I have said I wish I would have gone smaller but I am finally at a point where I think because I have learned to dress the girls in a classy way I am finally content with their size. I never wished for larger, if you look back at my last post it will give you all my stats. But I do want to reiterate again bigger is not always better and it is always personal preference. I see so many beautiful woman on the site that say they wished they had gone bigger and I think they look perfect. Give yourself time to get used to them and settle into your body. My size when I first had the BA (not my original size) was a D cup and I have comfortably settled into a DDD cup which I never expected. With that size comes issues like sleeping without support will never be in my reportoriar again. Had I gone smaller I most likely would be fine w/o support at night. I have found a bra that I love to sleep in and better than the coobie is the Nightlift bra. It retails for about $98, it was created by a plastic surgeon in Beverly Hills, very similar to the Tab bra in Canda but much easier to purchase. I do recommend sizing down one size for true night time support. It is super soft and comfy to sleep in, I wish I had this when I first had my surgery. It really helps shape the breast. XO to all you beautiful ladies on your pre phase, surgery and recovery! XO

You look beautiful!
Yes , I couldn't agree more. Bigger doesn't mean better. I'm downsizing in November ready to embrace potential complications. I'm feeling overwhelmed with this whole mess and , in fact , wish I had stayed the way I was in 2014.

Thank you for the compliment :-)
I looked at your profile and I do see the difference in size from your first BA, but the size you have now is the 335cc? It looks beautiful, is this the size that you said is bottoming out? Your 8/29 pics look perfect to me, literally like a perfect set of breasts, maybe I can't see it all from the photograph. I was a physician so I am guessing the purplish blue is from lack of circulation in the breast, but I didn't see it in the photographs, just may not be showing up. I did talk to my friend before I had surgery, who is a plastic surgeon and she had said if a persons body (meaning skin elasticity, skin texture, etc,) can cause lack of circulation if an implant is to big for area. She told me that women who want to go bigger have to let there skin stretch and then go back for a larger implant. You have the reverse, but honestly that 8/29 pic they look like a perfect set of amazing breasts!!! I wish you lots of luck and love in this process what ever you decide to do. I will say if you are not happy with what your doctor has said there is nothing wrong with getting a second or third opinion! XO

Thank you but they don't look good..they don't feel good. I obviously had to learn the hard way. Send prayers my way as I'm on
The brink of depression.

Looking great as always! Congrats on making it 2 years post op! I'm glad you're finally more comfortable with your size, I've always thought your girls are perfect!
Thanx for the good advice on night time support, I need to invest in a good bra for sleep.
Take care ;-)

It's so nice to see an update on you! You look fabulous! I'm so happy for you that you are content. I, too, invested in a Nightlift bra and sleep in one every night. It made sleeping much more comfortable for me, especially sleeping on my side. Thank you for updating. It really was nice to see and hear how you are doing again. xoxo
