WORTH IT$10,500
I haven't updated in a while so I figured a current before/after picture was necessary. I am hitting the gym trying to tone and tighten to help improve my results and the rest of my body.
I am so happy that I had the surgery! Good luck to all of you out there who are thinking about doing it too :)

I haven't posted in a while but I wanted to do a quick update. I am a little over 6 weeks and happy with my results overall. There have been some small healing concerns where the incisions have some stress spots and they are healing slower and have opened up a few times but finally getting to the point where even those are healing. Swelling is not fun and I wish it would go away already, but I know that all if this is a waiting game at this point. I'm feeling great and can't wait to see the changes as I contour to heal.

That is the best compliment ever! I just looked at yours and you are looking fantastic! Your boobs are perfect and a nice flat tummy :) I'm very happy for you!
Can you tell me more about the marble? I want to open my belly button up a bit... Would that help?

I posted a question to the drs about marble therapy - you can read it. Basically, PS gave me a marble to put inside my BB (doesn't really stay - so I have to use tape or keep it in with Spanx or CG), supposed to wear it for most of the day. But I'm not really sure I want a "marble shaped" BB... I've had RS friends post pix of theirs and mine kinda looks like theirs at various stages of healing. Besides, I've seen such a wide variety of BB shapes on this site, I'm not really sure what "ideal" is or what shape I should go for. I stopped using the marble this week. I don't know - the hollow, round shape was freaking me out. I think it's looking small and cute now, still has some brown melanin pigment around, starting to look a little like an outie-innie... Sometimes I'll put the marble in for a short time, but I'm not really on marble therapy anymore. It does help open it up tho. Some say you can use a bead, foam earplug, or cotton fluff, too...

You look great! I'm right about where you are progress wise patience is slowly paying off, right?

They ARE dropping :) I haven't seen much "fluffing" yet, but am sooo happy not to have frankenboobs anymore!

You look great! I'm going to Dr Peterson on Monday for my pre-op. I'm nervous on the exact size. I have saline 450cc under the muscle. I got them 10 years ago. My right one went flat last month. So I'm upgrading to silicone and want to go bigger. I'm nervous of the pain too. Good to see a positive review and great results from Dr Peterson. :)

This is exactly why I wanted to give a review and I'm so glad it helps you feel more comfortable. You will do great and so will he :)

Since my last post I have gotten both drains removed :) (it's not pleasant but only lasts a few seconds and totally a relief once they are out). I think yesterday was another turning point for me... I showered all by myself for the first time, put actual clothes on instead of sweats, did my hair a little and put a little makeup on. Hubby was happy when he got home :) today I had another appt with my PS (I drove my self :)) and he seems very pleased with my progress. He said I can remove the steri strips on Tuesday so I can't wait to see what things look like then. I see him again in 4 weeks.
Overall I'm pretty amazed at how il feeling. I've been working remotely from home since Sunday and it's been working out pretty well. I'm feeling better every day. Even went shopping for some wireless bras and a spanx for my tummy today. Tried on a cute tank with NO BRA and I'm amazed that those were my boobs :)
Although I can't see my final results yet, I am confident that I picked the right surgeon. He and his staff are beyond amazing! Dr Peterson answers my emails personally, even on the weekends! And Joley in the office is wonderful! She has called me, texted me, walked me through things on the phone and been so invested in my success and well being! I truly feel cared about and it's pretty awesome! They even sent me a thank you card after my surgery. I really can't say enough about them and that's a pretty cool problem to have :)
I will update again after I take the steri strips off... Hope you're all doing great and feeling even greater!

I am sorry if I missed but what implants did you go with in the end? You look wonderful.
August 22, 2014
went with saline and 410 on the left and 440 on the right. So far the right does appear larger but my PS says when things drop and settle it will all balance out.

WOW! AMAZING! looking good! You sound like your recovery has been great! Keep on healing and posting....
