I wrote a lengthy update...and it deleted. Dang it! Anyway...sorry that I have been a total slacker on updates! I'm 20 weeks post-op, and surgery/recovery is such a far and distant memory that I don't really even give it a second thought...I don't have much to even update! I feel normal, I have almost all sensation back, I'm back at the gym, and my bra size hasn't changed at all. I don't think they will change much from here on out. If you have any questions, post them, and I will do my best to reply ASAP! Thanks everyone!

You're looking awesome! Can you tell me what sort of cream you're using for your scar?

Thank you Daphne! I'm using Biocorneum (spell?) and I can't say for sure if it's made a difference or not...

Thanks for getting back to me! Your incisions do look like they're healing up so well! My doc didn't recommend any sort of cream or vitamins because he says he doesn't believe they make a difference, but it's hard to apply nothing but pressure! I may buy what you're using or something similar, just in case!

Thanks so much for posting your journey. I was having a hard time deciding what size to go but after seeing your pics and being pretty much the same height and weight as you, I trust my surgeon when he says 375cc won't look fake. Your boobs look absolutely perfect.

Thanks Michelle! I wish my boobs had more cleavage naturally but they don't and can't even with implants from what my PS says. So when I want cleavage I wear a different bra and voila! Massive cleavage! Your boobs look fantastic! How did it work that you have a tattoo with lettering so close to your incision line? Was that hard for your PS to do?

I forgot to add that I absolutely LOVE you in that black tank top! You look so sexy in that!! I am so happy for you and everyone else who has made the decision to get implants for whatever reason!

You look fabulous! Pretty much exactly what I want to look like. Are you happy with your size? I keep thinking I want a C but it seems like most girls that want a C end up with a D but are happy.

10 Weeks Post-op!

It's been 4 weeks since my last update...mainly because there wasn't anything to update with! I imagine the next time I actually update will be my 4 month post-op visit with the doctor. Life goes on, and I don't even really think about the fact that I had surgery anymore. I absolutely love having breasts, and I can vaguely remember a time when my breasts weren't this size. I feel like I was born this way...when I look back at old picture of my barely-A cups, it seems like ages ago (and it's only been 10 weeks!) Thank you to everyone who has been so supportive on this journey! I will try to keep up with everyone's progress, and I will update again after my appointment in July :)

Love your posts! It makes me look forward to my post op look :) I struggled at first thinkin if I really want to do this but hearing the stories like yours makes me smile! Recovery is something that I still worry about because I like being active. Are you glad you chose 375 and what size do you wear now? I think I've decided on 425hp silicone.. I'm 5'3 starting off a small b 125-130 lbs. I think June 14 is the day for me.just waiting to hear back for that day.

Thanks, Sweettx! I totally get it. I had a really hard time not being active! The good thing is, after a few days (or a week, depending on how you feel) you can walk and do light activity. It at least "sort of" cures the itch of wanting to workout, etc. It's hard going through it, because it seems to take forever, and then one day you wake up and realize a month has passed and you can start working out. And now, 10 weeks into it, I'm better than good as new, feeling great, and super active! Yes, I am so glad I went with 375, because originally I wanted 325. I ended up a 32D. What is the end result you are going for?

I'm thinkin 400 or 425 looked good on me but don't want to be to big for my frame. I would be happy with a small D.or really full C my main worry was not wanting to look wide because they're too big. Would you say the pain was tolerable tho.the worse days?

May 21, 2013
Love your result, you look great! I'm having my ba in 10 days, wish mine will be as nice:) my ps choose Natralle extra hp 340cc, as my bwd is only 11 and have very little breast tissue. Is your 375 hp Mentor or Natrelle?
H
May 21, 2013
Thank you! My implants are Natrelle. I also received a 1 year supply of Latisse for free, since they had a special at the time. Good luck to you! 10 days will fly by!!

Thank you! Less than 4 days to go! Wow, that was great! How did you find the Latisse, did it really make your lashes grow?!

How did your evening out go? I started with one lower than the other but it wasn't really that noticeable (actually I didn't notice till the dr pointed it out) they were so small. Lol! I see it now but I'm hoping they even out. My lefty is a bit higher than the right. How long did the "fall asleep" sensitive sensation last. Mine is getting better every day but I don't take much of anything unless its before bed. Thanks for sharing your story!!! :)

I find it really hard to believe that six weeks...

I find it really hard to believe that six weeks have already passed. My implants have become a part of me. I can't feel them, and I truthfully can't remember life before them! I'm running again, and as long as I keep them "tied down" then it doesn't create a problem at all. I'm able to do weighted arm exercises again, and pretty much live life as I always have! The only thing I don't do is push-ups or chest exercises, which my doctor doesn't recommend at all for the lifetime of the implants. I don't mind, I'll take the "loss!" I hope everyone out there is feeling fabulous; those that are postop I hope you are healing beautifully and those that are waiting and/or considering...your time will be here before you know it and doesn't hesitate. It is so wonderful to be able to feel so womanly, and after a few weeks they don't feel foreign anymore. xoxo

You look awesome! So glad you're doing well! Can you tell me if you remember being able to feel your implant when you would gently push in on the sides of your boobs? I'm almost 2 weeks and i can feel my implants moving around when i push in certain areas. And actually it's kind of painful when pushing on it..
H
April 24, 2013
Hi freshstart! Yep, I could. At 2 weeks they were basically just stuck in place...they didn't move, and I definitely couldn't push them together! If I pressed inward, I could feel the implant. I can't at all anymore, it feels just like my breast tissue and is indistinguishable. The way yours feel now and the way they will feel 2 weeks from now will be markedly different! I used to like pushing in on the sides. It was such a strange sensation and it was so weird feeling the implant. Can't do that anymore ;) Hope you are feeling okay!

April 24, 2013
Thank you! I have my second post op today and they're going to remove tape and clip stiches from my breast lift so I'm a little nervous about that. . But I'll bet it will be ok. .

April 24, 2013
Ok..so today when I was leaning forward I could feel my implant on the left kinda come down as I bent over...and it didn't really hurt, but was uncomfortable though. Is this something you could feel too for awhile? It's like that one on my left is more loose or something....

You look awesome nature savor!!!!!!! Heeyy sexy lady:-) :-) :-) I LIVE in tank tops and already am enjoying the cleavage I have now and IRS only going to get better woohoo! My right breast is still riding high but Dr tenley wasn't surprised at all. She said that I had the tightghtes specs and skin she has worked with in such a long time, ouch! Because of that recovery has been a bit more uncxoimfortable, she says to be diligent with my massages and all should be fine, Hope u area well, you sure are looking beautiful, hugs xxxx

I hope I get results exactly like yours! I'm starting off a small b but was recommended 425hp. My bwd is 12.5. Like you I'm worried about the look of having my boobs walk in before I do. Im 5'3 125 lbs so i dont wana end up a DD. My friends think I should just do it already. I've been overthinking about finding the right ps. I have a upcoming consult with a ps i read great reviews on may 9. I love his before and after pics too. I'm very anxious for it to get here. Hopefully ill be scheduling surgery soon!

Good luck Sweettx33! The numbers are scary at first. I originally wanted 325 and I am so happy I ended up choosing 375 instead. Once they are inside of you they don't look as big, and as the swelling goes down they look even smaller. It is so worth it, I am so happy with my results. Good luck at your consultation!
