Had surgery yesterday and everything went well from what I can tell so far. My implant card says my left breast is a 475cc round smooth demi and my right is a 625cc round smooth full. I can already tell a noticeable size difference, which actually happened the first time around too, and I ended up needing a size upgrade on the left side. So I’m really hoping that’s not the case again this time.
I made it very clear that upper pole fullness was my biggest priority, and I also expressed that I wanted to be noticeably bigger than before. Being completely honest, right now they look much smaller than what I had envisioned. I’m really hoping the drop and fluff process works its magic because this is only day one post-op, and I know everything looks swollen, tight, high, and unnatural at first.
After my first surgery back in 2016, I documented the progression and know firsthand how dramatically things can change over time, so I’m definitely not trying to judge the final result on day one. I’m staying hopeful and looking forward to seeing how everything settles. But as of right now, I do worry that the size may not end up being enough, which is disappointing because I truly did not want to go through more surgeries, especially after the amount of money I invested into this one.
For now, I’m keeping my fingers crossed that everything heals beautifully and turns out the way I hoped for, imagined, and clearly communicated going into this surgery.

PRE OP THIS FRIDAY!!
I’m heading into my pre-op this Friday with the nurse at Dr. Vath’s office and wanted to give an update as I prepare for round two.
This appointment will be focused on sizing and finalizing the plan, and we’ll be hands-on deciding what implants we’re actually going with. This feels like one of the biggest decisions this time around, and my goals are much clearer now than they were the first time.
For reference, I currently have 575cc textured Mentor implants in one breast and 375cc in the other. From what I understand, those textured implants aren’t even made anymore, so this will be a complete change. I’m really interested in Motiva implants because of the shape and the way they give more upper pole fullness, but I do know they cap out at 625cc for the moderate profile. I’m hoping that will still work for my goals, but I’m open to going a different route if needed because I do want a more augmented, fuller look this time.
One of my main concerns from my previous lift was that my nipples ended up sitting a little too high. I also didn’t quite get the upper pole fullness I was hoping for. After almost 10 years with implants, plus pregnancy and over two years of breastfeeding, my breasts have changed a lot, so this revision is really important to me.
This time, my goal is fuller, rounder breasts with more upper pole and less of that bottom heavy look. I also want them to sit closer together. I know anatomy plays a role, but I did feel like there was too much space between them before, and I’d like to improve that as much as possible. I’m not opposed to a slightly more augmented look, that’s honestly the aesthetic I’m going for this time.
We’re also doing a mini tummy tuck to fix some loose skin above my C-section scar. It’s minor, but something I want corrected while I’m already going through surgery. That said, my breasts are definitely the main priority.
I did have a hematoma the first time around, so I’m really hoping for a smooth recovery this time with no complications. That’s definitely in the back of my mind going into this.
Overall, I’m feeling excited but also very focused on making sure everything is communicated clearly this time. I’ll be going over all of this again at pre-op and making sure we’re fully aligned before surgery.
Surgery is scheduled for May 11th, so I’m looking forward to seeing how everything comes together.
I clearly trust Dr. Vath, otherwise I wouldn’t have come back to him and trusted him with this level of surgery again. I’m very excited to see what we can accomplish this time and hopefully reach my goals, as I do not plan to have any more surgeries in the future, knock on wood.
