I'm still in the "Not completely in love" phase with my new additions. Yes, I looove how Look and feel in clothes now. BUT I am just not fully loving them in the nude, mostly because they STILL have not fully dropped and fluffed, AND my one nip is still pointing down and it bothers me big time. I've been trying to be patient, but it's hard now. I've hit the 6 month post-op mark, where most women see their final result... and I'm not in love. I haven't had a check up from my surgeon since my 2 month. So I did need to follow up with him. It's just harder to plan as he's almost 5 hrs from me. Anyone else feel like this are this stage? Did more changes happen after 6 months? Just feeling a bit discouraged right now. I'm also feeling I should have went a bit bigger for my frame.. just feel the gap between my boobs is larger than normal

Hi, did you have our follow up appt? And have your breasts fully dropped and fluffed out? I do see the difference in the nipples’ position in this pic, has that changed? But overall your breasts look great.

I relate to you with this situation here. I feel like most women at this stage love their new additions, and I'm over here wishing for better cleavage and my right boob to drop fully. And not to mention bigger lol. I still think your's look good!!! You have nice cleavage and they look great even braless.

Sooo there really isn't too much to update y'all on. Rounds are progressing, slowly but surely. I'm still pretty annoyed with my lefty. She's being a real [RS bleep]. For awhile there they were starting to even out. Then my right made another leap in dropping and fluffing and has once again left the lefty behind. LOL buuuut they do look great in bras and swimsuits. I'm just not currently digging them while naked, which kinda sucks. My eyes just go right to the awkward looking boob and I just fixate on it. I've focused all my boob massages on the lefty only in hopes it'll help it catch up a bit. Since the right side is fluffing a bit more, it's actually looking a bit bigger as well. It's really noticeable when I lift my arms over my head.

Sooo all in all, I'm in a love hate stage right now. Fingers crossed everything levels out soon. I'm worried bc I've seen another poster with the same issue have the unevenness last almost a year.. ????????

I am right there with you! Mine have not healed / dropped evenly and I can't NOT see it. But I still love how I can finally fill out a bra / top / swim suit. Hoping both of our stubborn girls catch up! Good luck!

Hi ladies! Just wanted to give you all a quick update. Things are going great! I've returned back to my full workout routine minus chest days. It's been an ongoing process finding dang sports bras that have superior support and don't break the bank. Haha fml. Back in my Itty bitty [RS bleep] days, I literally only needed like Wal-Mart bras. Now I'm having to invest in some serious sports bras. Ahh well, I'll take my big [RS bleep] problems over my itty ones any day. ????

I no longer have mondors cord. I did A LOT of massaging and heating packs on the cords. So I guess that helped. Lol

I am also still suffering from snoopy boob lol. My left side just doesn't seem to want to catch up. So the upper pole on the left is much fuller than on the right. But i have faith it'll straighten out over time. Lol my scar is still red, but it is flat and smooth. I am still putting silicone scar cream on it 1-2 times a day.

I do apologize for photo quality. My kids broke my standing mirror, so I have to use the bathroom mirror for all my pics now lol

Thank you! My bwd was 14, so I could have actually gone a bit bigger without a double bubble risk.

You look great! Thanks for keeping up with your review. How are your implants softening?

Thank you! They are softening up nicely. I'm able to sleep on them now if that helps you get an idea of softness

Wow! They must be pretty soft then because I seriously cannot even imagine sleeping on mine! I can only side sleep for a couple hours! Thanks for your reply!

Lol I couldn't imagine sleeping on them either at first. It even felt awkward/ borderline hurt sleeping on my side when I first started. But it does get better! I don believe they started softening much more after I began sleeping on them. I wear a bra or sports bra pretty much at all times. At night I usually stick with the light to medium support bras, then the more supportive ones during the day. Gotta keep the girls UP!
