Two Year Update

WORTH IT$8,800
It has been two years now! I still can't believe I did it. Lol but, I'm very glad that I did. I haven't updated in some time. After awhile the novelty wears off, and they just become a part of you. I don't wear these dresses in this way in public. I use the small snaps I sewed into the dresses, so I am less exposed. The scars are almost nonexistent, and they look and feel very natural.

What kind of bras do you find more comfortable?

Just shy of one year!

I haven't updated in awhile. I decided to upload a picture that was taken earlier in the spring, one of my new bathing suit, and an update in the black push up bra I bought at Victoria Secret last Fall. I didn't realize I had dropped and fluffed even more since I took the last photo in October, but apparently I have. Not much to report other than one year ago I was riddled with anxiety about my upcoming breast augmentation. I was overwhelmed with choosing the proper amount of CCs, so I wasn't too large or disappointed, and stressed out over everything that could possibly go wrong. I really should have just saved myself the trouble, and placed my trust in my surgeon. My surgeon was right on about sizing, and I had a fairly easy recovery because I followed his instructions. The best piece of advice I can give anyone in the beginning stages is spend the time finding a terrific surgeon that is board certified and takes the time to get to know you, takes the proper measurements, and listens to what you do want and what you don't want.

You look like a VS model with your beautiful boobs!!
Thank you!
It's so nice to be able to wear any design now. I avoided certain types of clothes because I lacked the assets needed to pull the look off.
Now, girlfriend, you’ve got it going on!!!! Congrats!! Enjoy the summer with cute low cut tops!!! Yessss
Yeah I remember fluffing quite a few times throughout the year. I started to realize my bras didn’t fit properly anymore so I knew something was going on. Such lovely results! I love the small gap in between your breasts as it gives you perfect cleavage every time! ❣️❣️
I was somewhat disappointed with the cleavage situation back in October. I guess I just needed more patience.
So glad to hear you are still doing great! The difference in fit in that black bra is pretty amazing! Looked good then, but looks fantastic now! Love the swim top too... so cute, and I’m now a swim suit expert, lol!!
Keep enjoying yourself, gorgeous!
You just don't see the changes day to day, so I was shocked when I saw how different I looked in the black bra. I have an event to go to soon, so I wNted to try the push up bra with my dress, and I looked back at the old pictures and saw the noticeable changes immediately. Yes, you are the bathing suit expert these days. You look great on everyone of them too!!
Beautiful results!!! You look amazing! I couldn’t agree more! Finding a skilled surgeon and following those PO instructions are crucial in a good result. ❤️Xo
Thank you. It is so much more enjoyable shopping for bathing suits now.

I have my first mammogram tomorrow. I'm a little bit nervous. I hope the technician has experience with breast implants. I don't want them to be ruptured! In December I was leaving a holiday party and some huge man who was also a guest at the party decided to randomly pick me up and give me a bear hug! I wedged my elbow between us and into his chest to get out of the vise grip so he didn't rupture them. It was so bizarre. Anyway, I think I am completely dropped and fluffed at this point. They feel like a natural part of me. It is rare that I feel them or think of them. I am still happy with my decision, but I think anytime I am not healthy, I will always immediately be nervous that the implants are causing a problem. For example, I recently had a rash on my upper body, and immediately thought the bear hug caused a rupture which then caused the rash. Of course, it was totally unrelated, but my mind went there first.

I can relate to your worries. In my case, I get anxious when I have a mammogram. I always worry that the scan won’t pick up any abnormalities, hopefully I NEVER have any!! I opened a heavy heavy door, and it snapped back into my boob. Ouch. Ouch. Ouch. I, too, worried that I ruptured the implant. We will always be on “guard”! Enjoy your new boobies.
Ouch!
I get those same heath worries too. You look great!
Your results are even more gorgeous now! I have a mammo coming up in March. I hope my tech is skilled with implants, too. Freaks me out more that they can be flipped rather than ruptured. I’ve seen enough vids to see that silicone implants, these days, are super tough to tear. I pray that all goes well with your mammo and that it comes back clear!!
I didn't know to worry about the implant flipping. Lol or did you get a tear drop shaped implant. I got the round.
Round. They can still flip. *yikes!*
(The round implants have a "top" and the "bottom" side, hence why they can still flip.)
You look great. Worry seems like our worst enemy, for enjoying the boobie gifts. Hope your appointment went well.
I haven't heard anything yet. It's a case of no news is good news. I had called the facility a month before my mammo appointment to pre warn them that I now have implants, but the technician said there was nothing noted in my chart, so she needed to gather something to help her with the imaging. She looked a little nervous, and told me she had never done this with someone with implants which didn't instill a lot of confidence in me, but I think all went well. I didn't hear a pop! That has to be good. Lol. I think in a typical mammogram Sesdion they take four images. She took 8. The last four she pushed the implant back and pulled forward the breast tissue and put that in the vise! That was uncomfortable, but not completely awful.
I had my mammo just at my 1 yr point last yr. It was easy and more comfy than before implants. I think it was easy bc I had a wonderful experienced tech! They just take double the images and maneuver the implant. I was told getting them under the muscle was better for imaging purposes for finding any issues. I got copies of the imaging and it looks neat. I’m not sure if I put one on my update or not on here. Hopefully you get a clean report. People worry about their implants popping but in all reality for what I understand it’s really hard to destroy these suckers! Your boobs look great in this pic, like they fluffed again or something? Thanks for the update. ❤️
I felt it was easier with the implants. Maybe because they had something to work with. Lol or she may have not squeezed as hard because she was afraid to rupture them.
I was mad at myself after because I didn't ask to see the images. I would have liked to seen what they looked like.
When your results are available you can ask to have them emailed or put on a CD. I was given a copy for free via CD and emailed my results plus I can access them online.
Minuscule, I think Spunkcow is right. You can call the office and request copies of records, and images are records--it's worth a shot even if you don't post them on here.
*Miniscule* - sorry for the typo.
I'll look into that. Thanks for the info.
