Update - rounded out- temporary nipple tattoo on - not enough volume
WORTH IT
I'm now at the healed stage and the implants have actually rounded out. I'm using temporary nipple tattoos. The scars are starting to heal.
My final 6 weeks consultation showed the volume is just not enough. I'm going to do the implant exchange when the 1200s come available hopefully in the next 6 months. There's not enough volume for my chest cavity.
I'm very impressed with my doctor, and highly recommend him.
I'm also concerned about my sides of my breasts as there's extra skin that needs to be removed or reosculptured. I'm hoping this happens in the final surgery.
I'm in the weight loss process also- down 17 pounds! Have 83 to go! This will also affect the final outcome.

Implants settling much happier!
My implants are settling in and I am much happier! My healing is going very well which is the main thing and the scars look awesome! Rounding out nicely. I'm working hard on my weight loss and fitness. I feel this size may be perfect. I will wait a year or at least to get to my goal weight before deciding on a revision. Implants are so soft and natural! Feels like natural breasts. I'm going for my 4 week post op tomorrow. Now to schedule nipple tattoos! Patience is really key in this entire process!!

10 days Post Op
Starting to change and round out but not in a way I'm very happy with. My breasts look very droopy. Not full on top at all. I'm not happy at this point and I've realized I'm going to have to have a revision. Seriously considering all options. I've been extensively researching and even with the issues I had previously at time of surgery I was not having any. This result is not at all what it should be - not happy.
