It's been one month and one week since my operation and I love the way my boobs look more and more each day. They have dropped a lot more and I don't really notice unless I put pictures side by side. They are a lot more round and still very proportionate. Right side is a little slower but I'm still wearing my band on that side every night to help with the dropping.
I feel way more confident in clothes even when I'm dressed like a bum, it's great to still feel feminine haha.
My workouts are almost back to how they were before surgery except I cannot workout chest and I try not to do anything in push-up position or use my pec muscles too much. I don't want to compromise the results. I haven't purchased any underwire bras yet. I still wear my surgery bra and comfortable bras from Wal-Mart.
Overall, I'm more than happy with my results. I've started developing a few stretch marks which I was hoping I could avoid, but I know that it comes with territory of getting larger implants. I've been putting vitamin E cream on my breasts after the shower every night hoping that it helps some.
I go back for another check up on the 3rd and for another set of post op photos.

Healing process so far has been great. I have only been having slight issues with my right breast which isn't dropping as fast as the left. I have been back to working out for a couple weeks now and my right breast gets slightly irritated on occasion so I've been trying to be as careful as possible. I am still wearing a compression band at night; over my right breast and under my left to help with the dropping on the right side. I am absolutely in love with them and couldn't be happier with my choice in PS (Dr. Della Bennett with Gemini Plastic Surgery in Rancho Cucamonga.) Her bedside manner and level of care for her patients is out of this world.
I had a UTI about a week and a half ago that turned into a kidney infection which was extremely painful. I was out of town and my boyfriend suggested that I text her to see if she's able to prescribe me antibiotics instead of going to a PC Physician when returning home. She was very concerned because a kidney infection can actually compromise a breast augmentation. She immediately called in a prescription to a Walgreens that was close to me at the time. This was such a great help and I'm lucky that my boyfriend suggested texting her otherwise it would've been put off and who knows if that would've affected the healing process.
I've had two check-ups so far with Dr.Bennett and she is pleased with the results and I've had one set of post op photos taken at her office.

First of all you look great. You have really nice results.
Price is a huge issue for me. I read all the time that you get what you pay for. I was wondering if the $5300 covered EVERYTHING. Dr. Bennett sounds great. How were the facilities? Any concerns that you would like to share?
Are the implants starting to feel natural, like part of you?
Would love to see some video updates showing the progress with the softness and natural "movement" if you would. thx

Thank you! $5300 is something I considered a great price considering Rancho Cucamonga is a nice area and I was quoted $8000 for the same thing from a Dr in Newport who didn't seem as caring as Dr Bennett. $5300 covered everything except for the prescriptions I had to get prior to the surgery which only cost about $45 and my insurance didn't cover prescriptions so that wasn't too bad. Anesthesia is covered under the $5300. I had to pay a $500 deposit to book my surgery date which is deducted from the $5300. The facility was a surgery center in Chino Hills which is about 25 minutes from Dr Bennett's office in Rancho Cucamonga. The surgery center/facility was beautiful and clean and very nice and had great reviews. All of the nurses/assistants and employees there were very friendly and did everything to make me feel comfortable/less nervous etc. I have absolutely zero concerns and everything went smoother than I could've imagined.
Yes they are a lot softer and squishier now! And don't feel much like foreign objects on my chest anymore.

Wow. It really is amazing how prices fluctuate. I used to think that $9K would be the lowest I would ever pay. Suddenly I am finding that is not the case and maybe I can have my finances ready sooner than I planned. I appreciate you providing the financial breakdown... I always wonder when prices are quoted, just how accurate they are. The last thing I would ever want are unexpected charges.
Good luck moving forward. I will keep an eye out for your updates.
