7.5 Months - Do I think they are too big?

Madeleinelily
WORTH IT$5,996
I have had lots of questions lately from women going a similar or slightly larger size wondering if the implants might be too big.
I can only answer from my perspective: I dont feel like they are too big for me. In fact, they are still relatively small breasts (B/C cup). I feel like they are perfect for my frame and my starting point. I don't have much cleavage though I can enhance that if I want with a push up bra. I have rarely felt the "boob greed" that is so often spoken about, as having any boob is such a novelty after all those boob-less years haha. However, I could imagine that someone with either a larger frame or starting with more breast tissue may want a bigger size.
I have attached some recent pictures as well as pictures in different types of clothing to show that they can look natural or more 'out there' depending on what I wear.

Your posts are so thoughtful and helpful! These images give great perspective, and you are right, they look very natural; IMHO, just the right size for you. 7 months post op, and you're still posting and answering questions... Thank you!
I love Yoga/Palatis, do you feel comfortable now working out? If so, how long was it until you could do pushups or something similar?
3 days until surgery... hoping all goes well.

To answer your question, I was able to do longer walks after 2 weeks, back to light/modified yoga and pilates running after about 10 weeks, and doing planks/chataranga/upper body and back to normal after about 4-5 months
January 12, 2025
Thank you! I'm just trying to help as I definitely remember the anxiety filled days/weeks prior to the surgery. I have always been super into yoga/pilates and fitness myself and also teach classes part time. I was also nervous about how the BA would change my ability to do these types of activities. The first few months post surgery I was quite restricted with what I could do as it caused a lot of weakness in that area. But now I'm pretty much back to normal! I can do planks and chataranga push ups easily (although I try not to overdo it). I'm back to doing upper body workouts too, although I avoid chest workouts or go very lightly. Running is completely fine, though I have to wear a proper sports bra now haha. Overall, I feel completely fine and often forget I even had the surgery :)

5.5 Months Post Surgery

Madeleinelily
Everything is going well! Super happy with the results and my healing. They have certainly dropped heaps and are looking more natural, although I think they still feel a little firm compared to natural breasts.
I sleep on my stomach all the time with no pain, do running and upper body workouts (no chest) and I have started yoga again. The chaturanga push ups still feel a little strange, but getting easier all the time.

I'm very happy with the size. They are subtle enough that I don't think many would notice, but I can get cleavage and shape when I want to show them off. I think they fit perfectly with my body shape and lifestyle.

Amazing!!! They look even better than at the 8.5 weeks mark(which I found impressive already). I find you made a perfect choice about the size - since you are very slim anything bigger would look too big (in my opinion), I´m very happy for you. Thank you very much for you update. I tried to find the infos answering my following questions, but couldn´t really find it in the comments - are yours Motiva Round, Motiva Ergonomix or Motiva Ergonomix 2 (//Motiva Joy). And do you maby know your BWD measurments?
November 12, 2024
Hello! Thank you so much :) the drop and fluff process is so real, I looked back at old pics and can’t believe how much better they look now (though at the time I loved them too haha) they are motiva round high profile, and I think my bwd was 10.5-11 it was quite narrow.
November 13, 2024
Hi, same here! My bwd is between 10.5-11.5cm, too (my boobs are a bit uneven, so one has a bigger bwd, haha, but who is perfectly symetrical anyways...). Thank you, this helps a lot - I feel even more reassured, seing your amazing outcome & knowing we have similar measurments. Another thing - did you have to do any massages (in some rewievs they are writing about massages/ having to "manipulate" the breasts/ implants a bit, so they don´t bould a capsular contracture/ to help them get softer) Sorry for bombing you with all the questions - my brain is racing, as the excitment is getting bigger during the countdown, and you have the exact same implant as I am getting and almost exact measurements :D I´m so happy "realself" exists
November 15, 2024
Ohhh I'm excited for you too! When is your surgery? You are very welcome to ask anything, I totally understand the feelings pre surgery! All the questions, obsessive research etc etc I have been there!! Yes I was instructed to massage them twice a day for about 5 mins. I do think it helped to soften them (could have also just been time) but not all surgeons have this protocol. It wasn't a big deal though, I just did it after a shower when I was putting lotion on my body, or while I was watching TV at night. I still do it as it's a habit and I just want to prevent CC as much as I can.
November 18, 2024
Oh yes, obsessive research is the phase I´m in right now XD My surgery is in 4 weeks, my pre OP coming Thursday, it is a rolercoaster of emotions :) Thank you for your help <3
November 16, 2024
Could you post a video to show how soft they are now please, it’s one of my biggest concerns in my research, how firm or natural an implant is. Thank you x

What size and filling did you get ? Also under or above muscle ?

8.5 weeks

I’m currently on holidays and this will be the first summer with my new breasts! I used to hate swimming or wearing bikinis but I am feeling much more confident. In terms of recovery, there’s no pain and they feel very soft. I’m sleeping on my tummy and can pick up a large suitcase. Of course I’m not pushing it but I’m really happy with how the recovery process has been! I’m also thrilled with the results and feel like Dr Taras performed exactly what I wanted. I know that they will continue to look better as the months progress but I’m over the moon now. Highly recommend Dr Taras and the Minkst group.

I love your results, they fit your body very well, am also grateful for your great and very detailed review. I am getting Motiva Round HP in 5 weeks, have similar stats (172 cm, 56kg), but cannot really decide which size to take, whether 235cc or 255cc, although 275cc might work for me as well. Do you have any updates now, how they look 5 months post op? Changes in shape? How does it feel doing workout/ yoga/ pilates now? Any restrictions in movement range?
November 7, 2024
I’m so excited for you! I’m really happy with my size and glad I didn’t go bigger.
I’m exercising pretty much as normal, running, Pilates and weights but not chest work out. I will do an update with photos soon. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions :)
