Keep Calm and Carry Cleavage

UPDATED FROM LanaiLady

Can't stop smiling!

WORTH IT$8,500
Saw my PS on Monday. Dr. Phan said everything looks good. He reminded me that after lowering the folds in both breasts, it is very important to keep the breasts up by wearing under-wire as much as possible so that the scar tissue creates a new fold in the right place. I'm on it!

Also, I asked about my scars. The good news is that because of the red/pink color, the scars are still healing. We are going to meet again in February and if the scars need more fading, Dr Phan will prescribe a lightening cream or said he can do IPL on the scars if the lightening cream doesn't do the trick.

Wore the shirt in the picture to a weekly craft market that I sell artwork at. Two of my work friends asked "did you get your boobs done!?!" Both times I said, no just wearing a fabulous bra. So, I guess I'm fully in the "did she or didn't she" category. This makes me feel comfortable wearing more revealing clothing and bathing suits. I am not over-the-top-sexy, just have a more proportional figure.
Two thumbs up for breast augmentation!

This is the same Dr. that treated the sun spots on my face with IPL. I like his before + after BA photos, staff members, and going to a private surgical center rather than a hospital.

Stop, you are making it hard to wait! :) That top looks fabulous on you! Interesting about the new crease needed an underwire. I don't know if I will be getting a new crease or not. 6 days to my pre-op.
6 days is less than a week! I got a lowered crease because of ribcage measurements. Also, because of the lowered crease, I only wore a strap attached to my post-op bra for 3 days. Didn't want to push the implants down too much. Oh yeah, boobs are absolutely worth the wait!
I like that u say its a fabulous bra!! It's really none on no ones business. Because people love having something to talk about. I told 2 of my closest friends... And they told their boyfriends. Which I now don't trust them. They said their bf's won't say anything, but I never wanted them to know my business. But u look lovely!!!
They told their boyfriends! Ugh, that is suppose to be between girlfriends. I told one friend who's husband now pointedly looks only at my eyes when we talk. I guess my friend couldn't help herself. Geez
Funny huh?? Can't even trust your friends.
My best friend told her husband before I had it done and she felt the need to tell me all about his opinion of how I'm such a beautiful girl, why would I feel I needed to do it, blah, blah, blah. I was so pissed!! At least now that it's done, he's not weird or anything about it, but come on! It's between GIRLS.
Yeah, I don't understand it. What if we did vagina rejuvenation. Would they tell their boyfriends as well? It's so personal.. A lot of our friends just want something to talk about. So lame
You look awesome! My BFF came up with a good one-liner if someone asks if I got my boobs done. "I figured out what Victoria's Secret is!" ha!
I think that's supposed to be I figured out what Victoria's secret was. lol. I'm tired. And I haven't had to use the line yet. lol
That's a great line! Keep the mystery going of did she or didn't she :)
Haha!!! GREAT line, CL. :-)
So gorgeous, girl!! I love seeing that smile in your pics. :-) So happy for you! Now about the underwire... Another one of those inconsistencies between surgeons, but mine told me not to wear them. I wish they'd get on the same page!
Man, so weird - mine told me to ONLY wear underwire (until my one month). Sheesh.
I think our surgeons advise on a case by case basis. At my last appointment I was advised no more massage needed. That the boobs are plenty soft and too much massage can be a reason for bottoming out. But that is just my case? Going back to the lowered crease thing. Whatever it is, happy we got smarty pants surgeons helping us to be gorgeous!!
You're right! They gauge our progress and prescribe from there. I imagine no underwire for me because I wasn't dropping much yet.
You are seriously looking incredible. Love the DKNY demi bra. Gorgeous on you! You are an artist/crafter?! Moi too.That is way cool :)
That IS cool :) Glass blower here. And thank you!
Such talented ladies!! I love it!! Xoxo
Oh no! I thought I responded to this ... bc what I wanted to say was,"holy cow! I've always wanted to learn glass blowing!"

Looking Back Seven Weeks After Surgery

Next visit with my PS is next Monday. I love my boobs. The scars? Nope. But, in time they will fade. Right?!?

Replies (19)

Yep, definitely still looking awesome! Hope your next appt goes well!
Thanks! It will be six weeks since I've seen my PS and I'm excited for him to see the latest results and ask if they will change anymore in the coming months
What are you doing for your scars? I think you fab, like I have always;) Your Breast look perfect on you:), what a huge wonderful difference from your befores. I can't wait to see my difference! :) hugs
I'm wearing Scar Away strips. Is there something better out there? I am totally open to trying a new brand or method!
Hoping mine look as fabulous as yours!!
Yes! New boobs in 2014 for you! Post some "before" pictures so we can all see your transformation
Those before pictures are hard to post...they look sooo bad. I almost want to wait until after so I can say "see their all fixed now" lol
That is a great idea, wait until after. I posted the ones my PS took about a week after surgery.
You look wonderful! They look so amazing, I am so happy for you!! Thanks for saying in the comments you are still a 32D. They just look like they are a part of you, exactly what we want no? My pre-op is two weeks from tomorrow, yay! Hugs to you!
Yes, it is amazing that such a big change feels so natural after only a short period of time. Two weeks until your pre-op...yippee!
i cant say thank you. thank you thank thank you!!!!!!!!! you addressed everything that i thought about and things that i didn't you were so open and honest i love all your post.i cant wait to wake up with my boobs next yr lol and you look so good. like you didn't even get any work done at all. that's the best part of it all. and what makes it even more wroth it in my opinion. happy healing and am soo happy for you
It has been a great experience. I am glad to share my story, especially since I got so much help from reading thru other ladies journeys!

Wednesday will make 7 weeks

Boobs are settling nicely into place. My second pokey stitch came off, so hopefully the scars will heal better now at the ends.
It is a happy start to the month of December.

Glad that stitch came out, sheesh! You look amazing!
I know, that stitch was taunting me. It took enormous restraint not to try and clip the darn thing! Or ask my PS to do it.
Looking good!
Thank you so much! I'm in a progress sweet spot
Look at that hourglass figure! So hot, HG!!
Thank you, now I just need the courage to wear the new suit somewhere other than my house...haha
Ha!! I sure do know that feeling... luckily (or maybe not... Haha), I'm not in Hawaii and won't need to don a bathing suit for many months. Go rock it, girl!
Still looking awesome ;)
Thank you. I'm excited to see your results, soon!
Thank you, me too!
Whoawhoawhoa. Hold up. First of all, you look incredible. Second, I feel like I've missed something - now that your boobs are gaining fluff, are they actually bigger or do they just appear so?? Forgive my dorkness. :)
Yeah, what she said.. @LittleBee her boobs look freaking awesome
First of all, thank you! Second, yes! I don't know if it is the projection of the implants (mod+) or what, but my boobs are loosening up a lot and getting more full in the front, less wide to the sides. Wearing a 32D now. Before the 32D cups were not covering enough, but now they fall into the cups rather than looking stuck on. Looking back at my week one picture, yowza! those were some tight boobs!
I hope mine do some of that fluffing magic! :) *fingers crossed*
