Age 55, Why Did I Wait So Long?!
Hi everyone!
I wanted to wait till I was nearly a full year post-op before posting a review, just to see if anything would change — my attitude, the “girls,” anything. But really, nothing’s changed since the six-month mark. So, the verdict…. [drumroll] awesome!!! A million times better than before. Zero regrets.
My ONLY ISSUE: the flex distortion. My surgeon had said it would be minimal, and I trusted him, so I hadn’t given it any thought. But in fact, it was more pronounced than what he’d said. And at first I was like, WTF! Not a happy camper! At my six-month follow-up, he offered to switch them to over-muscle at no charge. In the end I decided it wasn’t worth it. Today I’m glad, because I think it would have been the wrong decision for me and my body type, plus the risk of complications, etc. Now I barely even notice the flex.
Still, I will say here, that aspect of the boob job doesn’t and won’t ever look “natural.” And while I can honestly say it doesn’t bother me anymore, I think many surgeons tend to minimize this problem, which is wrong. They should be far more up-front about it so that their patients have a VERY clear understanding, pre-op. It is a definite possibility or even a likely outcome for anyone who has an under-muscle BA. But (just to finish with this subject) like I said, one year in, I can definitely live with the results.
Overall, the worst of the whole thing was having to sleep on my back for two weeks! And the incisions were also a pain: they were quite uncomfortable for about the first six weeks and seemed abnormally thick. But they’ve healed very nicely into perfectly flat little scars that barely show.
Here’s the run-down of my experience.
PAIN
Pretty well zero (on a scale of 1 to 10); no meds as of Day 2, not even Tylenol. No nausea: they had given me ondansetron, which was great.
ACTIVITY
Day 1, not able to do much till late afternoon (op was in the early AM) but then perked up fine. Was 80% normal the next day, 100% as of Day 3. Getting out of bed by myself was a bit of an issue until I figured out how (bring knee close to chest, loop arms around thigh, round back so that head approaches knee and then gently roll up). Barring lifting anything heavy, range of motion normal as of Day 2 and was able to do long walks by Day 3. (Careful) sex as of Day 4, heh heh.
HEALING
Zero issues, thankfully: no capsular contraction, no infection, no uneven dropping/fluffing. The usual Frankenboob and some bruising, but nothing abnormal. Grateful!
FEELINGS
Thankfully, was spared the emotional seesaw. I guess I’m normally on a pretty even keel, but surgery and anaesthetic can do a number on anyone’s head . . . I had told myself to take a good three months before deciding whether I liked them or not, but I found I loved them right off the bat, even through the awful Frankenboob stage! The famous dropping and fluffing took a full three months to complete.
Sizewise, I am SUPER GLAD I got 325s: it’s made a fantastic difference to how I feel naked, without being screamingly obvious to the rest of the world. Anything bigger would have really looked silly on my frame. I never really wanted huge knockers, anyway — more of a lift effect with added fullness. Which is what I got.
REACTIONS
My reaction, to begin with. Amazing! They instantly felt like me.
BF’s reaction. Unsurprisingly, he is CRAZY about them (which is very gratifying). Sex life definitely hotter. :)
Other people’s reactions: they don’t notice unless I want them to — I can very much control how I look, depending on what bra I wear, and most of my old clothes still fit. Still, while I’ve told my closest friends, it’s not something I feel I need to make public. Generally, the people I’ve told have been pretty cool about it. The new boobs even helped a friend who was facing a mastectomy come to terms with her operation: her doctors wanted to put in an implant at the same time, and when I told her about mine and that it was no big deal, she said it really set her mind at ease. :)
SURGEON
He's super-professional and I feel, extremely good at his job. Everything went exactly as he had said. I just didn't like feeling like I was on an assembly line, that's all -- he had 10 operations scheduled the day he did me, and they DEFINITELY tried to kick me out of recovery before I was ready, which I did not appreciate! But at the end of the day, he is an excellent surgeon. He delivered and I'm happy with the outcome, so what more can you ask?
OVERALL
Very happy! Despite the flexing. Love the size, love how they feel -- love how they make me feel. Recovery was totally trouble-free for me, discomfort was minimal and scarring is very unobtrusive.

Provider Review
He's very, very good at what he does. Very professional. A bit distant, I found, but not unkind or arrogant. Not especially talkative, but he took his time with me during my initial consult. He was 100% accurate about the healing process and the outcome I could expect. He didn't push me to go any particular size. Initially, dazzled by the possibilities, I chose 375, but later switched to 325 and am glad I did. He too said (after I'd switched) that he thought 375 would have been a little big. Overall, I'm pleased with him, but I didn't enjoy being rushed out of recovery, post-op. He does a lot of operations in one day.
