WORTH IT$6,200
So its been a while since my last review. I think the girls are pretty much done dropping. They are so much softer than before. The silicone scar strips really lightens the scars. I can hardly see them and its completely smooth. The only thing that sucks is I haven't had a reason to put on my bikini yet. All work and no play. :( However, I love my new body. Just wish I hadn't waited so long. Goodluck to all the ladies who's surgery is coming up!

I finally made it to boobville! My surgery went well. I woke up feeling like a 400lb gorilla was standing on my chest..Lol. The first 2 days were rough but not unbearable. I was off the pain meds by the 4th day. My back is hurting me more than anything. I miss sleeping on my side. I think my doc did a wonderful job. The twins are going to look great once the swelling goes down and they drop. I should've done this years ago.

My BA is 9 days away and I must say my nerves are shot. I'm so tired of worrying. I just hope that I've made the right decisions. My pre op appointment was yesterday. My surgeon and I decided on 380 or 410 cc moderate profile "gummy bear" implants. She is going to use sizers to determine which size to go with based on the look I want to achieve. Hopefully I'll end up with a full C or small D cup. The first surgeon I seen said that he wouldn't go above 325 cc because I didn't have enough breast tissue. So I have that stuck in my head. I have intentionally gained about 20lbs to look more proportional with larger breast. I wish I was on the other side of this already.

Good luck in yr upcoming surgery. And congrats in the gummy bear implants yr gonna love them. I 2 have them I'm 6 weeks post op and I feel like I was born with nice boobs. I was very flat chested with very little breast tissue 2 work with and my ps told me the exact same thing that I couldn't get a very big implant he went with 385 for me and I think he made the perfect decision. I am very pleased with my results. Can't wait 2 see yr end results there going 2 look great. Ru going over or under the muscle?
