Shrinking??

WORTH IT$3,500
I'm now really wishing I had gone bigger!! The shape is absolutely perfect, and they're so soft now. But another 50cc's would've been fantastic....
and getting back into yoga training- I've been lazy since surgery and have lost my strength totally! Doing chest exercises feel crazy!

Pretty boobs! How much did you spend on flight + accommodations?
November 11, 2016
Thank you :) The flight from BC was $800 CAD (booked very last minute, would have been much less if I had planned ahead more), and also $800 CAD on accommodations for 6 nights

How many cc do you have have. I have saline 550cc and after dropping I keep saying they look smaller than what I wanted and I could have added 50-75cc more.

I have 425cc silicone high profile. And yes, the wishing for just a little more boob problem! Kinda not an easy or cheap thing to fix :( I'm doing my best to remember that this a big adjustment to go through and will take time to get used to my new look- great advice from another real selfer :)

I actually ended up getting almost the same implant.I have natrelle style 20 450ccs high profile. It's good to read that yours are soft. I pretty much know what to expect and I definitely have been noticing my size keeps looking smaller . :(

Feeling more natural!
puravidababyOctober 1, 2016
I think I'm 8 weeks post op now?? They've settled quite a bit, lefty is still bigger than righty ???? I think I'm happy with the size, but would have probably gone just a little bigger!
I was measured at Victoria's Secret a couple days ago, and am a 34D at the moment. So crazy, in theory I thought I wanted a full B, or a small C... but for sure would have been disappointed with that size. Boobs have softened up a lot, and the numbness is going away slowly ????
I started using Mepitac silicone tape for the scars a couple weeks ago, which I love! It feels nicer than the paper tape, and is a super natural skin color. I wear it all the time ????

You are the exact height and weight as me so please keep the pics coming. Your results are amazing .

Also can you add different angles without the bras? Please don't think I'm creepy I just really am nervous about my upcoming surgery and I am trying to gather as much info as I can . Your before boobs were the same as mine too. Again from what I can tell your results are amazing

I will for sure keep updating, this site has been so helpful, I'm happy to share my journey as well :)
Are you planning a BA as well?

So sorry, I didn't see the second comment there. I will add a couple more pics hopefully tomorrow :) Sounds like you're being super proactive about your surgery, which puts you in a very good position :) Do you feel good about your choice of surgeon?
I got nervous leading up to mine as well, but am SO glad I did it. Keep doing what you're doing, you'll be on the other side and shopping for new bikinis and bras before you know it :)

I wasn't finished with the last message when I accidentally hit coment ,but yeah I'm very confident in him. It just seems times moving so slow. I'm trying to figure out how many CCs to go with. I can't wait to actually feel proud of my body when bikini and bra shopping
October 3, 2016
I think you had sugery a week maybe 2 before me. Where and how much is your numbness? Almost my entire left side is numb and doesnt seem to have changed since surgery. :(
October 11, 2016
The numbness settled to mostly the bottom half of my boobs, and is slowly going away now.

I'm going to have my surgery on nov 5 with dr krau at cg and I'm flying from New Jersey . Any tips of how it was ? Did you pick up the prescription in Miami ? Did you stay at hotel? If so can you recommend it? ...
October 11, 2016
I stayed at an airbnb place, which worked out perfectly! Much nicer than a hotel, and cheaper too. The place I stayed at was up in Hollywood, right on the ocean. It would've been nice to have been a little closer to the CG area, but I wanted to be on the ocean! Uber was perfect for getting around.
You can pick up your prescriptions right around the corner from CG, super easy.
CG itself is bare bones, no five star treatment here... but the cost is sooooo low, and Dr Krau is amazing, at least his work is! He was very brief in his time with me, if you have questions I would write them down so the whirlwind pre-op meeting isn't over before you sneak them in! Everyone there was very friendly though:)

How did follow up care work when you came back to Canada? I've heard really great things about your PS and the cost is so much more reasonable than the $13,000 I was quoted here.
November 4, 2016
The follow up care is very minimal, but I haven't had any complications :) I went to see my family doctor two weeks post op, and she was very impressed with how well the sutures were healing. They did say before I left that I could come back for follow up appointments up until I think 6 months post op, but Florida is an awfully long way from BC Canada!

Hi I am considering surgery with the same doctor. Did he go under the muscle or over I love the natural tear drop look over the round balloons any day! You look great he is truly amazing his work says it all

One week post op
puravidababyAugust 13, 2016
So two days ago I had an epic 20 hours of travelling to get home from Miami. Flying was no problem, even bumpy landings :)
I was pleasantly surprised that as long as I'm carefully I can pick up my 24lb toddler with just a little discomfort!
As far as healing goes, every day gets better and better. Lefty seems more swollen and sore than righty, which is weird as I'm right handed... Maybe because that side is stronger??
I'm SO happy to have found this stretchy lace bralette from VS- also perfect as they're done S,M,L instead of cup size. Super comfy!! And my PS doesn't suggest super tight sports bras, which would be so uncomfortable!!
