Go get these ice packs if you are in the icing stage of recovery. They cover your ENTIRE BOOBS and you can just lay there without adjusting them.

Every plastic surgeon has different post op instructions. Some say ice for the first two days to keep swelling down . It helped me a lot.

They look great! Scanned through all your comments and I understand completely the friend thing. My best friend since age 11 isn't happy or very supportive. I get the vibes from her not to talk about it around her, makes me sad but I think it's underlying jealousy unfortunately she has wanted a BA for a long time but lives with her mom and can't afford it right now with 3 kids. My other friend was very happy for me so you just never know. I'm not telling anyone else at this point. I'm tall also and got mod+ 492 allergen inspira. Im only one day post op and they are flat and up to my collar bone...this wait is going to feel like forever! Thanks for sharing your story

Yours look amazing and round. I wanted more fullness and side boob, I hate the round globes on top look so I got moderate profile. I can feel your mental struggle too. I am not telling anyone who wouldn't be supportive. Unfortunately, we spend a lot of time near water in the summer and they are obvious in a bathing suit. Guess I'll have to get a granny one, hahaha

I'm remaining hopeful that my Sientra Textured Rounds soften!!! Have you checked out Nothingtodds review? It's at https://www.realself.com/review/scottsdale-az-breast-implants-21-129-lbs-55-cup-d-dd. She posts two videos showing how soft her textured 475 cc HP became at 5 months and then at 9 months. Pretty amazing...I'm keeping my fingers crossed that my textured soften like this!

I got Sientra textured rounds and am almost 5 months out. They've definitely softened, but not like real, fatty boobs. Because my skin is so thin, I can feel the thicker shell around the bottom edges. Not so crazy about that, but it'll do.

You are still not that far out, your tissues will take longer to stretch because they weren't saggy like mine lol.

I looked her up just for curiosity and what are your thoughts on the placement, it seems theres very little separation between her boobs, at her 1mo. Post op photos there were, now not so much...

NothingtoDDs posted about the lack of space and I think she said she said she might go for a minor revision of this (didn't sound like a replacement of the implants were necessary). I have boob gap as part of my natural anatomy, and of course, am tempted sometimes to want for what I can't have so it's hard for me to say boobs are too close together!!! I looked at her before pics and her boobs already had such a nice, symmetrical shape and they were pretty close together so maybe this is her anatomy and the doc will change the placement a little.

Girl, I don't even remember what real, fatty boobs feel like :-(! I did like my boobs when I was breast feeding...about 16 years ago. I had to wean my son cold turkey at 11.5 months because I got sick and was on strong antibiotics...woke up the day after starting the meds with no milk left and poof no more boobs. I was at least one shirt size smaller. It was nuts.

I'm sure the width of the implants had something. To do with it I would think...Wonder how they fix that if there's no room on the chest. Also I was told that nipples facing put a little are actually natural. I'm sure I'll pick out something I don't like, mine won't be as high. I'm posting my preop doc visit today, 1st time I've seen them!

Hi girls! Wednesday will be 12 weeks and everything is going well. It def has been an emotional roller-coaster but things are settling down a little. The boobs seem to change every week and I ended up being much bigger than I thought I would. They just keep fluffing and fluffing and I love it! For a while I was sad because they didn't seem big enough to wear a sheer bralette which was my DREAM but now they def are. Every now and then I feel like lined bras make me feel massive!

What came as a surprise to me is that I have "good boob days" and "bad boob days". I have found that it all depends on how I feel about the rest of my body. If I am puffy from water weight or had pizza for too many meals in a row I find that I am unhappy with my boobs. So I try to keep my portions under control and not eat for emotional reasons.

I have wasted soooo much Fricken money on bras that it makes me SICK! Now I understand why they say not to buy bras for 12 weeks!!!! Ugh! Most of the bras I have make me look too big for my liking and I know I won't end up wearing them:(

I went through a phase where I wished that I had gotten round instead of anatomicals and sometimes I still do wish for rounder boobs. If for some reason I needed a revision I would get round. I ended up a very full 34dd with 395cc's. I'm so thankful that I let my dr choose whatever he thought would make me look like a sexy proportionate woman.
