Hi all. I just wanted to give an update because I know how nice it is to see long-term progression when you are considering surgery. I am now almost 2-years post-op and had my last scar revision (my second) a year ago.
Things I love:my breasts are soft and move more naturally (thank you silicon!). I love the size, I did not want to be too big and obvious, something a little more true to what I was was prior to breastfeeding. I love that I have something in place of those empty sacks of skin that used to hang from my chest! This was a huge confidence booster for me. Also, my incisions healed and faded nicely (with the exception of the last scar revision where I had a massive allergic reaction and it widened my scar). I am light skinned and from what I researched that gave me the best chance for a good fade as I healed.
Things I want to change: I still feel my implants sit low and give the impression of sagging with no upper-pole fullness. After two scar revisions to remove skin along the bottom this has improved, but it is no where near what I had envisioned when I paid over $10k to fix my breasts. This is something I think will only be fixed by placing the implant under the muscle, and that will have to wait until I can afford another surgery. I have pain in the interior of my left breast that the doctor cannot explain, it feels like tissue being ripped when I move in a certain way. It is painful and I feel like there needs to be an explanation and fix for this. Also, my nipples are not even. Though it is not hugely noticeable, it bothers me and I would like to correct that.
Overall I am extremely happy I did this surgery! I would do it again in a heartbeat.

The rash has gone. I had the start of a small infection on my left breast incision but the was easily knocked out by a small round of antibiotics. Still healing, still happier now :)

Your revision looks fantastic. It has now been a year since...how are you and the revision doing? Any issues? Would love an update.

I will definitely get you a new pic, I actually had a second revision in April 2014 to try to bring it up more. The revisions do the trick on the whole, but as the breast settled it was still not where I want it. Not enough fullness on top, I still feel like my nipple sits to high in relation to the implant. I also developed a rash with my second revision, turns out I am allergic to the steri-strips. It caused my incision to rip open and heal wide on the interior of both breasts. Still worlds away from where I started, but not quite where I wanted to be.

I really appreciate your post. I feel like I am right where you started and if mine turn out similar to yours I will be super happy! They look great! I will be taking your before and after to my dr so he can see what I expect~!

How are things going now? I am thinking about getting 350cc's over the muscle like you did and have concerns of not enough lift ending in sagging. How is the sagging now? Have they dropped anymore 2 years out? Would love a pic : ).
