Day 12: Size and Shape

SeekingSensationalSeptember 27, 2015
WORTH IT$10,375
I am now good with my size. I am definitely not too small. Here is a picture of me in a 32D bra. I think it works. My only worry now is my left breast. If Gumby and Frankenstein hadn't a baby, it would look like my left boob. Itvisxa hit square with the outer edge being much more pronounced. This was the breast that was originally larger and received a reduction, so I suppose more trauma equals more swelling. Plus, as my awesome surgical nurse said, "they are sisters, not twins, they will heal at different rates and will have their own journeys." I am paraphrasing on the journey part. ????. I hope she is right!!! My two week appointment is in 3 days, so we will see.

They look awesome! I'm thinking of having the same surgery but afraid of the scars.So you recommend it and have no regrets? Thx for your post!

Glad you asked about the scar because I have not talked a lot about them yet. First, It is really important to keep in mind that people do not heal the same way and various factors may (or may not) contribute to that healing and resultant scar. Now that we got that out of the way, I can tell you with first hand experience that the scars of yesteryear went out with General Hospital and Sony Walkmen! Thank goodness for modern medicine and advanced techniques. My sister had a breast reduction at 16 years old. She is 40 now and her scars still look rough. So, when I went into this procedure, I was scared of the scarring. I am married now, with three kids, so the chance of me getting naked in front of anyone who would care about my scars is...well...non-existent. Combine that with the visions of myself rocking plunging necklines and backless dresses, and the scars just did not seem as worrisome. Post surgery, I am feeling cautiously optimistic about the scars not being bad at all! I do not regret having this procedure. I promise that I will post pictures of the scars as soon as the tape comes off and there is something to see.

Hi! I'm having a lift with Saline implants in two months and I wanted to know how your breasts felt? The doctor was pushing for the gummy bear silicone saying they weigh less and are more natural. But I've got enough tissue that I don't think it matters. So I'd love to know how it's going. Thank you.

Thanks for sharing your story! We are very similar in size with my left also being the bigger sister. Your afters look great already and it's only been a few weeks :)

You are hilarious. I'm up now... With insomnia and stumbled across your page. I just got a kick out of your previous entry about pain, insomnia and reference to sponge bob and funny. I'm happy to hear you now love your size. They are perfect! I just downsized from my original surgery (5 months ago). My previous implants were 371 & 339cc mod + profile. They were beautiful but too big for my liking. I tried to enjoy them but felt very self conscious. So now I'm 4 days post downsize & revision of lift with 194 213cc and already very happy. Thank you for sharing!!

Day 11: on an UP!

SeekingSensationalSeptember 27, 2015
Phew! Thanks, for hanging with me through that downward emotional plummet! So glad I was prepared for that by reading so many other posts on Real Self! While I still hurt (with night time being the absolute worst) and I am still quite swollen, I have no regret about about size. I put a bikini top on (just to see) and I was pleasantly surprised that I am happy with my size! Here iare pictures. I will post more as the healing progresses.
