They just didn't feel natural. - Breast Implant - Rhode Island, RI

It’s taking me a long time to be able to write this review. Although my story may not be your experience I truly hope it helps some of you.

I was 30 years old. 5’4’’ at the time I was 116 pounds, 16% Body fat and barely 32A cup size. I was extremely into dieting and working out in the hopes of doing a body building competition. I had breast augmentation on March 2013 (430cc under the muscle gummy silicone performed through my underarms)

Due to my very small frame at the time I was in severe pain. I also developed a condition where you feel the tendons in your arms knotted and its very painful. (it goes away) Aside from all this I also suffer from a mild form of anxiety and depression. I wanted to get breast implant because I thought it would make me feel better. I would look better. Turns out I felt horrible. For one I was in a lot of pain and the fact that you are going from no boobs to large boobs It’s a bit of a shocker. I couldn’t get use to my breast being so large and frankly I didn’t give myself time to process it all. I spoke to my surgeon and his staff and they all recommended I give myself 3 months before making any decisions. They believed that by giving myself time I would give myself time to process the large breast. Get use to them and allow some of the swelling to go down. Its true you really need to give yourself 6 months to a year to really see the results. Yet, I didn’t listen. I just wanted them out and out they came a month later.

Initially after having them remove I felt so great. I went from something unknown back to what was normal and known to me. The pain was initially gone because without the implants pushing the skin there was no pressure. Then after about 1 month I was looking at some pictures I took of myself with the breast augmentation I was able to see that they actually didn’t look bad. It was a distorted image my anxiety and depression created. I am aware that this all sounds crazy. That’s why I was so hesitant to write this blog but I know that there are many people out in the world making rash decisions because they may for 1 not have all the facts about what to actually expect following surgery or other underlying issues like my depression.

1 year after breast surgery removal I had breast implant again. This time I was more knowledgeable about what I was getting into. I also made it a point to go with smaller implants. The initial size I had picked was too large for me. Although everyone around suggested that bigger is better it wasn’t true in my case. I now weight 130 pounds and now have 390 cc under the muscle implants.

I truly hope this helps at least 1 person out there. Please take the time to do your research. Realize that you may not fit into a small size dress anymore because of your implants. That base on the size of implants you get it may be a bit uncomfortable to workout or go running with them.
