One year later… and I’m still obsessed! Would I do this again? In a heartbeat. But only with the rapid recovery method;) I’m way too active for much downtime.

I love that I can wear any shirt (bra optional) and any bikini top. And I like that I can downplay the girls or put on a push up bra and vavoom!! I already had confidence but this just puts it over the top.

I’m not sure I’ll post much after this but if you’ve been thinking about this procedure for quite some time like I had I would say go for it! You only live once. And gotta make the most of it:)

They look amazing! Thank you for sharing your story. This really helped me to feel better about getting implants myself.

Awe. Happy to hear!! And thank you!

Thanks for sharing your story. Just curious what is the rapid recovery method?

Thanks for the thorough review! I too am very active ( and a PT) and own my own business & it’s the only reason that has held me off from doing a BA. I’m a single fitness owner so nobody to teach for me. Glad to hear you recovered quickly! I’ll be looking into this rapid recovery!! Thank you

5 months post op!

I’ve been waiting for left to drop and I think it’s getting better:) I’ve been diligent about massaging and also in using scar cream. Summer has been fun with playing around with both old shirts and bikini tops and new. As of today I’m back to my pre surgery chest lifting weight. (Low weights/high reps has always been my jam). I’ve listened to my body this entire time and didn’t push anything. A few weeks ago I finally tried to do a push up again on my toes and I plopped to the ground. Haha. I was definitely timid!! And I honestly don’t care so much about chest weights- no need to compensate for small boobs with a strong chest.
My boobs seem to be softening up and actually have a little jiggle to them aka more natural. I’m still happy I had this procedure. And will keep you posted on how things continue to settle.

Progress!

15 weeks… lefty seems to be dropping. Hallelujah! Funny thing is I’m looking back at my before pics and maybe left was always just a little higher? Idk.I’ve been giving more massage attention to my left breast. But apparently I’m also supposed to continue bilateral breast massage for the lifetime of the implants. Doctor says that they have to stay soft. So much boob handling. Ha. I think I’m 100% back with my upper body yoga flexibility. It’s crazy how much yoga sessions it took to get me here. I just felt so tight initially and gradually loosened up. And besides chest I’m 100% back to my pre surgery dumbbells. I’m gradually increasing chest weight. Again, it just felt so tight and weird initially when trying to do fly or chest press with just five pound weights. But I’m getting there! I think part of it is subconscious. I don’t want to mess up the girls.

Can you please post updates? How do feel working out? Can your bench press and lift heavy weights?
July 20, 2022
Sorry for the delay. I was actually annoyed that my left breast wasn’t dropping so I’ve been quiet. But I think we’ve made progress. Posting shortly;)

Be careful with the weights, I had a friend who began working out too early , too heavy and she ended up with a large chest gap. Great size and piercings!
July 20, 2022
Oh, gosh. That’s not good. I do light weight/high reps. And have been listening to my body. I’ve only just gotten back to my pre surgery lifting chest weight. So far so good.

And thank you! I’m happy:)

All ok with the "sister" boobs ? By the way you had teardrop implants or round implants ?
December 3, 2022
Hello:) Def sisters and not twins but I love them. And they are the gummy implants so whatever that is.
