So it's been a while

It has been well over 2 years since my BA and I still feel good about my decisions. I think I should have gone slightly smaller, but you just never know ahead of time how your body will heal. Because I am so thin in my upper chest and don't have much upper pole tissue to cover the implants things didn't end up EXACTLY how I had wanted, but I still like them! My breast are full and I can play them up or just wear a sports bra and be super happy with my size. My scars are still quite visible, but only if you look at them from underneath. I think a lower profile would look better on my frame so if I ever switch them out I may try to go with a slightly different implant. But that is years away and I don't really think about it.

I wear underwire bras mostly but every now and then enjoy a lil bralette. I feel like my breasts need support most of the time. I still always sleep in a bra, either my Nightlift bra or a sports bra. If I don't sleep in a bra I feel like my breasts feel funny in the morning, like throughout the night the skin was being stretched... not a good feeling. But overall I feel good about my decision. I enjoy being a bit more curvy and have learned how to dress for these boobs a bit better than in the beginning. LOL

I hope updating far into my process can help some ladies with their decisions on sizing

My docs pics pre op/post op

I just realized my doc posted my case in his profile and I had never seen these photos until now. While I still wish I had a more smooth and full upper slope and a bit more full inside cleavage, I am pretty happy with my results and my decision to do this for myself. I think this was about 4-5 months post op. If I ever exchange my implants I think I would stick with the round smooth implants but would go up in size slightly (maybe 400-425) with hopes of filling in the inside gap a little and improving my top cleavage. That option is hopefully a long ways away...

Nightlift bra

As I may have mentioned in past posts, I started getting some pretty intense chest wrinkles over the past 6 months. I have always been a side sleeper so I did a little research into this and discovered that side sleeping causes more wrinkles (on your face too!!) than sleeping on your back. I always wear a sports bra or underwire bra to bed for support or else I feel like my boobies are all over the place when I sleep. My breasts healed very soft and sometimes I think the pockets may be a hair too large for them because when I lay on my back they tend to really drift apart into my armpits.
I got a few suggestions from RealSelfers and after doing some research I decided to try the Nightlift bra. It is $98 but I wanted to protect my investment and try to stop these chest wrinkles before they get too bad. I have been trying my hardest to sleep on my back more, but it is tough to train yourself to do something in your sleep. Anyways, I got my Nightlift bra in the mail today and I tried it on... I am having a hard time telling if I bought the right size. I purchased a 30DD but I feel like the band is too loose and the cup is too small (It is on the tightest hook) - however they do not offer the bra in a smaller band size. As I adjusted the shoulder straps a little it began to fit a bit better, but I still think something is not quite right about it. I will say this for sure- it holds my breasts in place easily and without any wire, the fabric is super soft and the way the straps hold my breasts I think it will really help with the chest wrinkles. It's a pretty unique design and quite comfortable, except for the straps that go over my shoulder. I have extended those all the way and they still seem quite snug... Is this verifying what I feared I already knew? Do my boobies sit exceptionally low for someone of my build/stature?? I'm not really worried about it- but let me know what you think

Dr. James E Hardy is such a nice guy and always takes ample time to answer all of my questions. My surgery is this Thursday and I am very excited. I used to be so nervous but him and his staff have been so helpful. They really take there time to explain everything to me. We have gone back and forth in emails many times and I am now so stoked to get the breasts I have always dreamed I would have!!! **Added later~ I am very pleased with the amount of aftercare Dr. Hardy provided. I am sad when I hear other women never even seeing their PS after their surgery... That is ridiculous to me. I just had my second PO appointment with him and he was there again to sit with me and answer any questions and provide ample aftercare instructions. He seems to really care about your end result and making you happy with your body.
