Well it has been a year now since my surgery, I am still very happy. So I asked my husband to take a couple of pictures to update this review. Looking at them I don't think much has changed since I posted them for the 7 months. I will tell you that it isn't a smart thing to go out and spend a bunch of money on bras before you know what they will actually end up being. I know because I did that, and then the bras were not that comfortable. So I went back an had VS measure me again. Turns out that I needed a 32DDD not DD. Which were much more comfortable, but for some reason your choices become very limited with that extra D. They are always pushing the sister size a 34DD, but that just really doesn't work for me because then the straps are further out and want to slide off my shoulders. I have found the unlined bras really nice for the summer almost like wearing nothing. I hope that some one finds this helpful. I remember how much I loved this website when I started trying to figure out what size I wanted and just getting an idea of what I might look like. But it is so true that everyone is different depending on your size and weight the same amount of cc's can look totally different on 2 different women. Probably the best thing would be having some pictures to show your PS and let them decide what profile and the amount of cc's you would need to get your desired look. Good luck to all of you ladies out there trying to make your decision or waiting for your surgeries !!!

Vainpain, Well I thought everyone was great, I had Dr. Gervais. They both have really good reputations. I have nothing to complain about, the experience was actually better than anticipated . I was actually the most afraid of surgery because besides my wisdom teeth , never had any. But the worst part was a poke in the arm lol, then you wake up and it's all over. I have read a lot of stories with people not dealing well with the anesthesia , but I felt fine. Thanks for the compliment by the way. When is your surgery planned ? I will have to check out your profile.

50!?! You mean 30! You look amazing! And your surgeon did a wonderful job. As you, I have found this website very helpful. I'm happy with my results so far. Can't wait to see what they will look like in the next couple of week. Yours dropped very nicely, hope mine look as pretty as yours.

Well thank you very much for the kind words, actually I am 51 now lol. As far as sex I think maybe it's good because all the kids are grown and gone. Plus your just and have more experience and the implants sure can't hurt !!!

Hello Vainpain, Yay for you !!! They are such a great bunch of people and I think you will be so happy !!! How did you find them ? just curious ? Thanks for the compliments. I know kinda crazy huh !? (339cc from VS32C to 32DDD ) as you saw I just saw the before pictures myself. I can tell you that they are both great. So as I am sure you have heard before don't go on cup size , it's cc's. Tell Dr. Tholen what you want and you should trust him to give you the final result. They have done 1000's of them I think they know what they are doing. Feel free to ask me anything okay ! Good Luck December is so far away ! going to check out your profile now :-)

Hello everyone, I have finally gotten my before pictures that were taken July 3, 2013 the day of my surgery. I had never even seen these until today when they arrived in the mail. I never took any before pictures because I joined Realself a few days after my BA. Wow I didn't even remember how sad looking they were. But also can tell I wasn't feeling very confident by my posture. Hope this helps someone out. Sure makes you want to pay more attention to how you stand .
