I've been traveling quite a bit lately so haven't been great about updating so here's a juicy post and some photos.
Size: Many people say they wish they went bigger but I'm very happy with my size and even sometimes (mostly when i'm on my period and they feel swollen) I feel like they might be a bit TOO big. They're definitely noticeable, but I like looking natural and if they were any bigger I think it would be much too attention grabbing. If I had a smaller frame I would have gone smaller but because I have broad shoulders/torso it couldn't be avoided. That's just me though! I like smaller boobies too but I just felt like mine were getting too pancakey and was embarrassed to be naked before. Now I feel sexy all the time - sometimes even when I would rather not draw attention to myself.
Feel: They've definitely softened up and move naturally now. From the side I do notice a bit of unnatural roundness on the top half of my breasts but I think they are still settling. When I stretch my chest they also do ball up and get firmer but I have regained feeling in the bottom half of the breasts now so really they're starting to feel like a natural part of my body at this point.
Exercise: Can do everything and running has become more comfortable, though I definitely need to wear stronger sports bras for support. I'm really focusing now on toning my back and core muscles since those were the least used while I was healing.
Scars: Still can see distinct scar lines but doctor told me that's to be expected for at least the first year. I use bio oil regularly and cover the scars in the sun - easy enough to do as long as I'm not topless tanning all day long ;) Fortunately they blend really well into the bottom crease so you would have to look closely to notice at all.
Placement: They have dropped quite a bit so I feel like when I don't wear a bra or supportive bikini they look a little low - I guess that's where that 'natural' look I wanted comes into play. No matter, just have to wear a bra whenever I can - just like anyone else with DDs. I also have to be conscious of how to dress - somethings I used to wear now make me look fat since my chest is bigger. Also, mildly revealing or sexy things can look super sexy/hot -- which is good/bad depending on my mood. It's motivation for me to get the rest of my bod toned and in shape to show these babies off in the best light too.
People's reactions: Well, the cat is out of the bag with most of my close friends. Can't keep anything from those fabulous people who love me ;) Mostly their reaction has been very curious, supportive and encouraging. They love me no matter what I do and they think they look great, though I hate the idea of people gossiping about me I guess there's not much to do about it... Self love right?! Anyway, I'm happy and they're happy for me.
Dating: Like my friends, men I've dated have reacted with everything from surprised curiosity to admiration -- and that's only if they do find out they're fake. It hasn't helped or hurt me as far as I've noticed, though I do get more random stranger attention. My guy friends will tease me in jest but nothing inappropriate, all been very gentlemanly and shy. It's my girl friends that all ask to see and touch them.
So that's it for now, Let me know if you have questions! And I hope the photos help you with your own decision and process : )

Four Months Later - and happy!

So I've had a few requests for updated photos and since I'm at about the four month mark - here they are!
No issues at all at this point, love the look and they feel natural. When I lie down is the only time I feel awkward or notice them really. Definitely feel like they are a part of my body and I'm adjusted to having them almost completely.

Thank you so much for posting. Dr Vendemia will be performing my surgery next month and I used ur pic as my "wish boob". Do u wish you went bigger or are you happy with the size. I think you look great. You went with the 397 mod profile plus smooth? Ty so much

December 28, 2014
@Roe2015, hoping you'll be starting your own pre op review soon. Sounds like you're big day is approaching!

Hi Beth! Yes I'm hoping to share my story as well but still don't feel comfortable posting pictures yet. I'm 2 weeks away and find myself waking up at night wondering how I'm going to look. I'm going back this Tues just to be sure on the size I chose since I keep reading some most wished they went bigger. We settled on 397 mod + but now I don't know what I want :(

December 25, 2014
So good to hear that they are feeling normal, I look so forward to that!
You look beautiful!
Merry Christmas :-)

3 month update
nyclady23November 3, 2014
Just thought I'd log in and give and update on how things are progressing. Really enjoying my look now - been spending lots of time in bikinis and the only questions I've received relate to how good they look! Definitely get some comments even when I'm dressed conservatively which makes me a bit shy... Questions from women asking if they're real because they're too good to be true.. I guess that's the problem - natural fake boobs are a bit of an oxymoron. Oh well...? Just can't wait until they feel softer and feel more like a part of me. Some general numbness still, no pain, and I've been able to be quite active. Here's some pics! Couldn't have asked for a better result but do still wonder if I should've just let them be and not messed with nature : /

You didn't mess with nature ..it was an enhancement of your natural self that turned out absolutely beautiful. Yes, get use it ...Your boobs look gorgeous, enjoy them !!

Thank you so much - wish I didn't have this weird guilt complex about them! Haha - I need to get over myself - literally!
November 21, 2014
I have a feeling I will have the guilt thing....I'm starting to feel it now! Has it gone atall? I think with me it's for my kids as won't be there for the night or beagle to lift my boy or a good week or so.. But this is the right time..maternity leave and not at work etc...we don't half beat ourselves up ay x

I just booked with Dr V, Jan19th! How quickly did you go back to work after the rapid recovery surgery? My surgery is Monday, going to go into the office Thursday. Is that naive? Too soon?
November 30, 2014
I work from home so it wasn't too bad. You'll feel sore and stuff, chest will be swollen but since you'll be able to wear sweaters it should be easy enough to fly under the radar. I'd suggest giving yourself a week though if you can swing it. Good luck and congrats!
