Overall very happy with BA. No pain or discomfort whatsoever. Both breasts are soft to touch now. Still not satisfied with size, but when I wear padded bras, it's okay. Would highly recommend this procedure for those who are interested. Thank you all for your support!

Three months post op.
Just a quick update: everything is still going well. I go back and forth between being content with the size, vs wishing they are bigger. I do realize I would much rather be seen as the lady with the nice figure, than the lady with the big boobs.
I play tennis four times a week, with no discomfort.
Since I went unders, I still find it weird seeing my pecs move when I flex. Only a problem when I'm wearing low-cut tops. Just thought I'd mention that, since I rarely read about this particular issue.
Thank you for reading my update!

You look great! I think the size is very suitable for you, and of course, I adore the natural slope. I hope to look as natural and beautiful as you!

I hope you are not still regretting the size of implant that you got! I think you look great - elegant and natural. In fact, I am going to get the same size imolant as you and bring your photos in because you look great!!

8 weeks post-op. Cleared to play tennis!
Eight weeks post op today! I am back to 100% (I will not attempt push ups- never did that anyway!)
I confided with my nurse that I wish I was bigger. She in turn told my PS. When my PS came in, he looked so sad and disappointed, and I feel so bad. He explained how if I went bigger I would have had implants extending to the sides, higher risk of complications, etc. He said it is pretty normal for past BA patients to feel this way, but to see if few years down the road, I can certainly go bigger because by then my skin would have stretched to accommodate bigger implants.
He said everything looks good, still have some dropping and some softening to do, although they are already pretty squishy. I don't think they will ever be as soft as natural ones. I doubt it. Anyway, I'm aiming for "good fake" look. Haha! I asked him if the regular round silicones are softer than this textured anatomicals. He said "yes". That would have been good to know, although I still would have chosen these anatomicals.
He said I still have some dropping to do, so it should hopefully hide my scar. He said it should lighten up over time, and to continue to use Biocorneum.
I see him again in three months. Meanwhile, I have no activity restrictions now! I can play tennis!
Played hard game of tennis, and nothing hurts. So happy!
I am so happy with how everything turns out. Will do it all over again in a heartbeat. So worth it! When I was wearing heavily padded bras, I felt much more "fake" then. Now, I have so much more freedom to wear whatever I want. Why did I not do this in my 20s?!

I think you must wear all those tops in public be coz they are stunning and playful. You look stunning. Thank you for keeping us updated [RS bleep]

You know just the right words to say! Thank you! I am slowly adjusting to my new body image. I think I am slowly getting comfortable showing a bit more skin. I am also careful not to appear as if having implants changed me that much, especially to my husband. He was 100% against it, but just supportive of me, not my choices. :-)

Congrats babes and omg I play tennis too(but not for a long time lol) I still have some healing to go . Your boobs look very natural and the boob greed is normal . My friends and family chewed at me about going so big and what not but in a funny way. Girl these things haven't even dropped yet and though I'm athletic built and strong, they are heavy lol. Thank you once again for the bday compliments . These boobies need to start dropping dang it lol

I just want to add my two cents. We have the same implant, the same emotions post op and the same smart surgeon who looked out for us. Reading your post, I went through similar feelings at about 2 weeks.
I second guessed my pre-op attitude. Then I did more research on the implant itself. Suddenly, a few weeks later I was happy. The size suited me proportionately but not dramatically. It just fit me and my lifestyle.
I hope you feel the same way. It's a lot to go through to not be really happy. You look fabulous!

Thank you for taking the time to comment! I loved reading your pre-op. Very thorough and informative. I am still very happy I had BA, and very thankful my recovery was fast, with no sensations lost, etc. I'm sure it is because of the modest sized implants. Right now, I am going to enjoy it, and not dwell so much about the size. You look great too, and very proportional to your body. Take care!

For someone with an active lifestyle, and an avid tennis player, I think your size is perfect. Like me, I'm guessing you can hide them easily when you want to and bring them out to play as well. ;) It's great to hear that you felt so good playing tennis at eight weeks. I do a lot of push-ups in my work-outs, so I'm worried about that... but all in good time I guess. Congrats!

You have a beautiful body and very natural breast size for a woman of 40! I notice you keep saying you want to hide the cleavage or "maybe I could wear this if I were younger".. I have to disagree! You paid good money to enjoy showing off some cleavage!! Strapped dresses and low cut tops are a must for someone with such a great figure and attributes! I hope you are happy with the size and all. Don't ever think you are too old to be sexy. You look fantastic!! Show the world.
