I just want to mention that many of you girls have sent me DMs, but when I try to reply to you, the system says you do not allow to receive DMs, so I just can't reply to you! If you want to exchange messages, I guess you should enable this setting and write to me again. Sorry I couldn't reply because of that! :(

10 years later, how are things?

Well, seems like someone found my review randomly so many years later, so I thought I'd post an update, as I still have my implants, and they finally softened and settled enough for me to consider them a success. Took them approx. 7 years to reach that point though. They were so tight and stuck in for so long, but started feeling more "normal" after that point. But the thing is, they have still been changing up til now, and recently, they've become super bouncy, and I can almost get normal cleavage with some tight bras. Almost.

They are big and heavy too. But I like it. If it wasn't for my health issues that started with my left should issues that happened after my 1st surgery (before these 3), and my other health issues, like fibromyalgia, everything would be relatively perfect. Because of that, I need to manage pain a lot, and I absolutely have to wear supportive underwire bras to support their weight to avoid having lots of shoulder/neck/upper back pain and headaches.

I wouldn't take them out though. I love them so much, and they are part of my body and my identity now. If I ever get one to deflate, I'll have to invest in getting them renewed. I'd probably stay the same size or increase, but only VERY SLIGHTLY, knowing my previous complications, I wouldn't want to risk things getting bad again.

Absolutely beautiful! I love the shape and I like how they don't fall to the side when you lay on your back. I'm very dove chested w/ boobs that face more outward than straight on. They fit your body so perfectly! Thanks for updating, it's always nice to see long term results and I know it helps a lot of women to hear these journeys, not just from the start but years later too. Have a great day!

I love seeing journeys posted years later. Speaking of that I probably should update my review as well. Thanks for sharing your experience with us. Glad you are happy with your implants.

so i finally met my surgeon 2 days ago. discussed with him about my results, what is still maybe left to correct, and how i felt about size.

first, after showing him the difference in crease heights, he agreed that rightie has settled a bit lower than it was supposed to. he also thought, like me, that for the moment it is not that major, but he did seem to share the sentiment that this was a problem when wearing tight clothing and soft fabric bras like coobies (my favorites, lol). as for size, he thought i looked a bit less depressed about size, but still asked me the question "so how are you satisfied about size now?" lol

so in the end, i have a few options.

1. i could leave things be, if rightie doesn't get worse, because overall they're okay.
2. i could repair rightie again, hoping the stitches hold this time.
3. i could have leftie released a bit to let it settle a bit lower, hoping this would even things out. this option would also allow me to add ~200cc at the same time.
4. i could also just add volume, either with just a fill-up ~200cc, or maybe a more complete surgery, ~400cc.

anything i do however, i have to wait another yer to see how they settle and heal, because my skin is still super tight. oh lucky me my skin doesn't stretch easily.

so i guess that's it. i might start a new review if i do decide to get another procedure, since this surgery results today is pretty much a milestone reached for me.

During that year that you have to wait, it might be worth considering doing the therapeutic work - to really work on your self image, before things really get out of hand.

my self-image is fine. i'm working on other parts of my body lately, and also on trying to solve the major shoulder neck and headache pains that started from my first surgeon "breaking" my left shoulder. it really snowballed into a major health problem. seeing my GP on monday about that actually.

thank you girls. it's my daily battle nowadays. before I was sad about my body and looking forward to reaching my goals, but now that my goals are unfeasible I'm trying to learn to love what I've got and deal with the pain, riding it like waves, and finding other goals.
