~ Mentor 275 mod + silicone unders - Two Years! ~

It's hard to believe I'm almost two years out from my surgery date. Everything is going great! I'm happy. I'm fit and active. I even just finished my first Spartan Super this weekend! It's an obstacle course race that was over 8 miles up and down a mountain with 28 obstacles. It was amazing and intense and I can't believe I did it! Totally exhilarating! My surgery has not held me back from doing things like this at all. I just answered a question here about my fitness routine and for the past year I've been doing yoga, BodyCombat, TRX, Les Mills GRIT, H.I.I.T, and running about 5-6 times a week. I'm probably in the best shape of my life.
As you'll see in the photos, my right breast didn't settle as low as my left, which I only seem to notice in photos. It really doesn't strike me in daily life. The photos seem to show more of a difference, as I've said before. Maybe I'm just used to it!
At two years out, the only real change I've seen over the past year is that my right breast will now drift laterally when I lay down. Maybe it's because I sleep on my right side the most - I don't know. I can tell when I'm laying out by the pool that my right one starts to slide toward my armpit more. I think it's natural... gravity, you know. I've searched lateral displacement online and it doesn't seem to be as severe as what I've seen. When standing upright, it's total normal. Since having surgery, I've always felt more comfortable in a soft bra for overnight and since I've noticed this, I have been using a sports bra occasionally, too, just to help with support.
I'm not on this site often, but please do ask questions and I'll answer as timely as possible. Hello and hugs to all of my past supporters. I hope you're all doing marvelously!!

I had my one year check up a couple of weeks ago and the doc walks in and says "you are like a fine wine... getting better with age!" :) He meant the progression of the ladies, which by now are sooooo perfectly settled. He's very happy with them and when I asked about the difference in how the right side has settled, he said that while both breasts are soft, the capsule is a little tougher on the right side and I'm to squish the right one vertically to try to get it to loosen up and let that side relax a little more. Otherwise, he said they're just perfect. I feel like they are exactly what I asked for, even though it took them a while to get there. I can't believe I'm over a year out now. I'm so comfortable in my body and just LOVE them. Here are my official photos showing before, 3 months post op, and one year post op. What a difference!! Thanks for being there for me, RealSelfers. You have no idea how much your encouragement was appreciated.

Hello, hello, dear ladies of RealSelf. I seriously can not believe a whole year has come and gone since my surgery (and six months since I last updated!). As they say, no news is good news, and all has been great. I've been traveling quite a bit and just being a mom to my littles. Busy, busy. I apologize that I don't come around here often anymore, but I'm forever grateful for your continued support.

At one year, I feel happy and confident with my decision to have a breast augmentation. My chest feels completely my own and I'm now 100% happy with the size. They no longer feel too big at all. They are quite perfect for me. I've had no further issues and they haven't hindered me in any way. In fact, I've just taken up running again (for the first time since college - almost 15 years!) as I've been starting to slowly train for the Spartan Race I plan to do in 2015 and I haven't felt a single twinge, weirdness, or heaviness with the running. I continue to do yoga, TRX, and BodyCombat weekly with zero issues.

My breasts are quite soft and pliable. I don't feel they look augmented at all and have had both friends who know of the procedure say they look completely natural. Success! That's exactly what I wanted. I haven't told anyone in my family and if they've noticed, they haven't said anything. I've even worn swimsuits and tank tops (my standard attire) around them and felt okay about it. I have the little bit of side boob I wanted and the shape is lovely. I can dress them up with cleavage or go braless with ease. If I were to go back and change anything at all, it would be to go moderate rather than mod +. Sometimes I notice a tad more fullness at the top than I wished for, but it's not worth complaining about.

I'm certain that the right breast will not drop to the same exact position as the left and I gave up on my compression exercises quite a long time ago since I wasn't seeing any change on that side. I may have said before that I feel that side (bottom right breast closest to the breast bone) was perhaps not dissected "quite" as far as the left side. There's a clear difference, but I'm not bothered by it, I just notice it from time to time, especially when I raise my arms and when I take front-on photos, which seems to really magnify it. Sisters, not twins, right?

I've not yet made my one year check up with my surgeon, but plan to very soon. I'll pop back in and let you all know what he says once I do. I'm off to catch up on some of your stories now! All my best!
