WORTH IT$9,000
When my doc said he thought about 500 ccs would be right for me, I thought it sounded huge. The first day after surgery -- the first week even -- it felt HUGE. I thought nobody would ever make eye contact with me again. A month later, the 480cc implants have dropped and the swelling is down and I can see how right Dr Grossman was about the proportions of my body. The implants have also managed to sort out any other issues I had about my figure. Few people have noticed the implants (if I dress discretely), but many have asked me if I am trimming down, generally....funny...I think just because I am more balanced, top and bottom now.
I'm back to cycling and being as active as I want to me.

I just added some scar pics -- that's about the only thing that has changed. My breasts are definitely getting back to normal. Now, when I use my arms to open the car door or the kitchen cupboards, I don't even think about it -- last week, I was really feeling the muscle. Not anymore. I have been at the beach and in the ocean for the last week -- wave jumping, not swimming. I feel like they have dropped, swelling is down, they are getting softer, more jiggly! and closing up to form cleavage under the right circumstances (depending on the bra and the clothes).
The bra size that fits me best seems to be 36C or 34C sports bras. That's despite 480 cc implants.So I asked to be a nice healthy C and that is what I got! In clothes, very few people are simply noticing my boobs -- for the first couple of days after surgery, I didn't think anyone would ever make eye contact again! That all does subside! And I figured out how to wear these new things!!! Just goes to show, different ccs will be different for different folks. When my shirt is off, of course, I still feel like Pam Anderson, but that's exactly when I want to feel like Pammy, so it's all good!
I hope to upload a video to show some of the softness and movement that is developing. Pics can't show that.

Not sure if the captions I write to explain photos are showing up -- not on my computer anyway, so...let me add:
I want to show the progression of my belly button scar. This is the only scar I have of TUBA (BA thru the navel) and this is two weeks post-op. I hadn't been using anything but Bacitracin ointment on this for the first week and covered with a bandaid. Second week, I used less ointment and just sprayed with Bactine from time to time. The stitches dissolve. For the last two days, I started using Arnica cream (homeopathic). I didn't use Arnica during the time of surgery because I heard Arnica can interact with some of the prescriptions, including Cipro. I'm not sure, but I didn't want ot chance it.

Amazing! No one will ever know for sure if you've had any work done, unless you decide to tell. There sure won't be any scars to give you away. You just look beautiful.
TCinIn, I need you to write a little note to me every week from now on, ok?
You've got it lady. Although I'm sure you will be hearing it from people much closer quite often.
It is amazing that this form of BA does not leave any major scar. My plastic surgeon said he thought, years ago, this would become the "gold standard" in BA surgery. At that point, he put a lot of investment into his own professional development in the direction of TUBA. He says he can't believe the amount of resistance to it in his field and says he think the resistance has to do with the fact that most PSs simply don't know how to do it, so they resist change. The beauty of it. from my point of view, is that women can fix their boobs with minimally invasive surgery, minimal cutting, and very speedy recovery. I was able to use my arms almost immediately. And what went into my body? saline — salt water — if it leaks, it is what we are largely made of anyway. I know there are advantages to other materials too, but a lot makes sense to me about TUBA.

I just added a picture from this week. You can tell from my tan lines that I haven't worn bikinis -- I probably haven't worn one since I was a kid. Now I am nearly 49 -- and I just might start wearing them!
