Here are some pics
WORTH IT$6,900
Here are some pictures of the 7-day mark. I am happy thus far! I've been doing tons of stretching and light rehab-style strengthening. I really wanna post a video for you all on my program, but I just need to find the time to do it.
I'm not gonna lie! I had an emotional break-down yesterday. I had some boob greed, but mostly it was seeing a couple realselfer's posts that sent me down my adolescent spiral. They looked so perfect coming off the OR table and one week later, amazing in their bikinis. Even mom's of 3. I was like, "what?! I didn't get the memo you had to be a super model to belong to realself!" UGH! Shut up me! I woke up feeling better and realized we are all on here to help each other and this face-less, boob forward platform only shows a tiny tiny portion of all of our full full lives. I love you all and I am so happy we are here to find comraderie and help each other out! All of our journeys are so individual, you know? Like it is still extremely hard for me to get clothes on and off and I haven't even tried putting on my tighter clothes (my belly is still swollen too!). I don't have energy to even take a picture of myself in a bikini, nor do I really want to at this point :(
Ok. Enough rambling...
I got this amazing bra I wanted to tell you about. My PS said only wear a sports bra for the first month. I found a Haynes 360 degrees bra at target (a great hybrid of wireless bra and sports bra), and man, this thing is comfy! I would've bought all colors, but they only had one in medium. You should get this! $14! A steal. And it's seamless...I added a pic of it. It's not sexy, but you will love the feel of this sucker!
Happy healing to my new friends out there!

Hey! I bought that same bra at target! I agree, it's an absolute dream. You really picked a great size. Proportions are key and you've got that right!
October 26, 2015
Thank you! That's sweet. I'm really happy with my choice :) although...I wonder what 25 more ccs would've looked like as the swelling goes down
October 26, 2015
Oh jeez athleticmama. I just read it. I am so sorry you are having to go BACK in. Ugh!!!!!! And go back into your super mom roll? Are they putting you under fully? I am so sorry. Keep us updated. Thinking about you and hoping you and move onward and forward with your lovely new breasts QUICKLY! Best to you..

Aww, sorry to hear you had a tough time, but I can totally see how everyone could become affected by different things and set you over the edge a bit. I am anticipating a breakdown as well! lol. It's healthy :) Thank you for recommending that bra! I am 10 days out from surgery so I will be needing them soon! Yehaw.
Happy healing to you! I will be following along

I have to say that at about 10-14 days I had a break down too! I think that besides boob greed initially you have swelling, then it goes down and you miss the original size. Also, you realize that maybe you could of went a little bigger. Then I waited it out and looked in the mirror and realized how proportional they are to my body which is what I originally wanted. I never knew this would be an emotional roller coaster! You look amazing by the way. I'm glad you're recovering so well.:)

One-Week post op appointment
I had my one week post op this morning, which lasted a total of ten minutes! Hahahaha! Everything looked well and I'm doing very well with my healing. I am still riding pretty high--I'll post pictures tomorrow when I have some time! I got textured moderate profile cohesive gel implants. My PS says to not massage them. He says the pectorals will relax and that will allow the gel to settle towards the bottom. It makes sense to me, but anyone else here have the same or different advice concerning textured implants? I just don't wanna look like a weird boob alien...

You had beautiful breasts before BA. Cool input= great outcome!

I'm so happy I'm getting million times more comfortable with how round implants evolve. They give beautiful results. Unlike what surgeons here say. Whatever commission they may be paid when having sold anatomical, they ought to be more impartial.
Anyway, it's important I don't let aggressive endorsement affect how I feel as for implant shape change.
You already look great. In a few months, you'll rock.
Have a great day

I have seen how the round implants evolve in before and after photos, and it is beautiful. My surgeon is against anatomicals because he says they have the tendency to move in the pocket and can cause asymmetry. He recommends low profile if you want a more sloped look. I just found a lot of the higher profile implants gave a natural slope with time! You look great too, BTW. rockin' your bikinis!

I explanted 3 weeks ago. Had anatomical, and deformed them. 4 year push up use turned the previous regular 5 ones ( years) into non existance. They were ok until 2011. Reimplanting by March 2016. Glad i know round look pretty crazy at the start and then... Blossom:-)
October 21, 2015
How is going with the ex plant? Are you ok? My PS said the anatomicals do shift. I wonder if they shifted while wearing a push up bra...
October 21, 2015
Yes , I am 100% certain it was on account of very tight super push up bras I wore contantly for a few years that near synmastia condition and placement / shape distortion occurred. I explanted without reimplanting because I needed to think things over.hoped I'd fancy implant-free look. I don't . It's a challenging period in my life but I'm glad I didn't rush to reimplant . I'm giving tissues on the sternum to grow together.

HI Boneesha!! Looking great !! And your 300cc do not look too large! I am actually surprised how proportionate they already look. :)
October 20, 2015
Thank you lisa.ee! I am kind of in love with them already, but felt strange going out into public to pick my kiddos up. I was trying to put my arms over them the whole time. I'll get used to it :) Thinking about you on Thursday!!!
October 20, 2015
You look fantastic and this makes me so excited for my surgery on Thursday! I originally picked 425 mod+ round textured but realized at the last minute I don't want huge boobs (I actually had a reduction at 17!) I just want to fill out what I have. So I changed to 325s and I hope mine turn out as good as yours :) Thanks for sharing your journey!
October 20, 2015
I think 325s will be perfect. Thank you so much :) i am so happy to share and help everyone on the wonderful site! You can ask anything you want--if I can help you anymore, I'd love to :)

Besides, I'm going to make an informed choice this time. In 2006 it was inane that I let my then doctor take decisions without showing me the whole range of options so I could make a choice. I can see plenty of women do it in 2015 too and can't understand why they act this way given they have access to RealSelf .
have a sweet day xoxox
