375 cc HP silicone full anchor lift- 1 year update!

It’s been awhile, thought I’d give an update. I’ll give some positive and negatives and include some update picts!
Overall I still do not regret having my full-lift with implants but I think I may have spent more time looking for the right doctor for me. Even though he did a great job, when I went in for subsequent check ups and expressed concerns he downplayed things and made me doubt my concerns (now being 6 year older and having gone to some therapy), I’ve come to realize that we need to be our own advocates. There was one time I told him I thought one of my implants may have ruptured, and he said “well even if it did, it would be encapsulated”… so I’m only now starting the process of looking for a new doctor to get it fixed (because having many BIL symptoms).
The positives:
I’m WAY more confident
Fit clothes better
Just like how I look overall
Negatives:
Wondering and worrying about implant rupture
Low grade unexplained fevers
Brain fog
Swollen lymph-nodes (have had to have early mammograms because of the inflammation to rule out cancer)
Snoopy dog deformity/capsular Cc
Not being happy with the shape of nipples and Breast and needing more surgeries to correct it
Still with all that I don’t regret it
I guess that goes to show you how unhappy I was with the way my breast where.
I would recommend doing your best to find the most qualified doctor for the surgery you are
Going to have. To be clear about your goals and have them be clear if they can deliver on them. To be heard when you have concerns and even finding a doctor who makes allowances for corrective measures and patient safety (when implant rupture is suspected).
Ask for many before and afters THEY have done and even request to speak to past clients!
This is your body! These changes are permanent (without surgery).
Be informed
Speak up for yourself

Hey guys! It has been almost a year ( 350 days) since my augmentation with full lift. I wanted to update you guys. I absolutely love my results and do not regret my decision for a moment. This past year has definitely had its ups and downs. It's an emotional journey for sure. Healing can take a long time and I have to admit it took a full 9 months before they felt totally soft and all my sensation returned. They have finally settled and really are not as large as they had been at the start -for awhile they were 36 double D's or 34 triple D's! They have finally settled at about 36D. I think they could probably use a little more tightening up as they have dropped a lot (and have a little pseudo droop). I've also been concerned that the right one has ruptured (these are the stressors now). So while I don't regret it, it would be remiss of me not to warn of the things that creep in to my mind from time to time. They are not perfect and there are new things about them that bug me but they are a huge improvement. Sometimes I get zinging pain, sometimes aching not always and less and less as time goes on. I guess I would want people going forward with this to really manage their expectations. Listen to your doctors and be easy on yourselves.

I am starting to think about the swapping them out in a few years for gummy bear implants - while these look amazing and natural I do have to wear a push up bra to give them that full look once they settled even though they are high profile (silicon 375 ). Any ways hope that helps anyone out there wondering about how you'll look/feel a year out!

Hey real Selfors! Nothing new to report. They are still different but I suppose breast are sisters not twins. My right breast continues to have zingers occasionally but feeling has returned both nipples so I am happy about that. I think they are still a little saggy… I wish I had gone a little smaller but they are still fun! Here are updated Picts!
