I met a client that used Dr. Freidman and in that moment decided to go for a consult. Never even thought about augmentation prior to that moment. I would highly recommend him. The only thing I would do differently would be play around with trying sizes which he did not offer. I strictly went by photos of wish pics. He does wonderful work, very professional, very caring, and I would go to him again. He gave me the exact results I asked for although I would have gone a bit bigger if I could have. I trust him with his abilities, and the staff is very supportive. Nice clean office and so convenient as everything needed is contained right there in the same location.

Did I mention I would highly recommend  him!

Everyone talks about wishing they'd gone bigger. Today, I wish I was smaller.mi know,mim only three weeks out but I just feel self-conscience even though I'm trying to hide them. Today was my first day back to school and they feel big and sore. I am a teacher so I am modest and I wore a fluffy blouse but I am ready for the to not be so firm.

I wish I would have gone bigger. I wish I would have gone bigger. I am almost 3 months post and I think what I see is what I get. All is well. Just wish I went bigger. Right one is smaller and would at least like to have that one bigger. Left is ok. They have dropped alot, but I still don't have the fullness at the bottom I want. May have to check into that to see if I have options. Once he tells me the price I may just think I am good enough. Finally back to doing full gym workouts, my full 9 mile runs once a week, all the house chores I can squeeze in and pretty much everything is normal now. I do still feel my pecks (IMPLANT?) When I do arm exercises at the gym. Not sure if that will ever change. But boy I remember the first one I did after surgery and 2 was all I could do. Just an odd feeling. So glad to have recovery behind me. I was measured at Victorias secrets at a 32dd. Which is probably a C everywhere else. Which is exactly what I signed up for. Just wish I knew then what I know now. And at 54 I should have known.
I like how my clothes fit me and the proportion of me now. Looks the same as when I was wearing all those padded bras. I am still in non underwires for another 3 months. Scars are doing good too. All in all, I am happy.

I think they look just beautiful, though of course I know that what strangers think doesn't matter a bit. Thank you for your updates, and useful to know how your return to exercise went.

I don't know if you've changed since this post but you look perfectly in proportion, as well as healthy :) I do hear some women saying they wish they'd gone bigger but I was bigger and what I have now feels right. Too big and no-one sees your face... I spent the first 15 years of my adulthood being invisible above the chest - so the current situation is good. They're big enough to keep both me and my husband happy without knocking people over in the street or blacking both my eyes running downstairs :)

I could have wrote this :) I'm 5 months post op have 250L/275R. and lately I wonder if I should have went bigger too. Like you I got what I asked for. I was so worried about being huge and looking top heavy. But now.....I think I look like I did with my padded bras. I'm I wouldn't say Im disappointed. But I think I could have handled a bit bigger. And the chest workouts yep! such a weird sensation. Thanks for sharing :)

6 weeks... better

I reach my 6 week mark at 600pm tonight. Wow has it been a roller coaster. It was easier being excited in the beginning and high expectations were my main thoughts. But so much more to it after it is done. The healing process along with how your boobs look and feel afterwards can make you everything from over the moon happy to just want to cry. I was able to see my ps this week and ally thoughts were confirmed that I am still to high and have some dropping to do. I was afraid what I have is it but still have time to drop more. I have increased massages since that isn't as uncomfortable as it was for awhile. They seem to be softer quite a bit, but when I get cold...which is all the time at work even with my heater on, my boobs feel like they draw up and get tight. If that never goes away, I am not looking forward to winter time. That is the only time I feel like they are a foreign object on my body. Otherwise I can't tell any difference from before surgery. I still can't wear a bra so managing clothes for work has been hard. I wear a camis under my shirts, but with the nips being cold alot of the time, I have to keep my arms placed just right when walking around the office. I try to stay at me desk othwrwise. I posted a few pics from last night, so those are just shy of 6 weeks. SOOO glad to have 6 weeks behind me. I am ready to be normal again. Not sure that this isn't the new normal for me, but I can say there was a huge difference for me from week 4 post to week 6 post. Getting better each week.....not by the day, but by the week.

Great update and congrats on your 6 week results!! You look awesome and it will keep getting better. The emotional aftermath of surgery...you described that really well. So true. I just bought some pasties on Amazon..can you use something like that for the nips? A couple of my bras are so comfy but fairly thin so I got them for that purpose.

The difference in how big they look depending on the angle always blows my mind!

I'm glad you got the reassurance from the PS that they will drop further. I (still) think they look really great.

I'm 51 and having surgery on Nov 4. I will be getting 250-275cc's. I'm pretty thin and narrow and not much to work with. I hope you continue to progress well and keep posting so we can see how you are doing. So glad I'm not the only one making a change later in life. Pretty excited.

I did 270 and 300. Left it up to the doctor. I got what I wanted so no complaints there but just wish since I put myself thru all of that and how much money it was... I should have gone a little bigger!
