In April 2021 I will be 3 years post op. I haven’t given an update in a long time. 2020 sure was a rough year! Hope all my real self pals are doing well!
I have Sientra textured mod profile size 325 implants, and still love them! No real problems to speak of, other than an occasional phantom pain that goes away quickly. I do still feel more comfortable keeping them supported even during sleep and I’ve found stretchy bandeau bras to be perfect for that. They have definitely gotten softer and more natural to the touch over time, and I like that. Other than that, they look the same as my last update around a year and a half ago. I was scrolling thru my pics on my phone and realized I haven’t taken an undressed pic of my chest since last April! Sharing those pics (forgive my dirty bathroom mirror) and a few others from the last 6 months. I still have a swimsuit addiction, so you can check out some of my new suits. ;-) the girls are all good and I totally forget I even had implants done unless I see them in a mirror and then I think “yay!” Oh one more thing, I have low nipple sensitivity, which is a bummer, but I’ve had low sensitivity ever since using an electric breast pump after my son was born (24 yrs ago). After breast aug, my nipples were hyper sensitive for a long time (a year I think), which I enjoyed, but that finally stopped and they went back to not much feeling. So, back where I started there. Anyone else can relate to this? Take care and good luck in your journeys!

Out of curiosity, what was your return to fitness like?

Wasn’t Really an issue for me because unfortunately I have some bulging discs in my neck that keep me from doing any upper body workout. I was really uncomfortable for the first 3 days after surgery, and my neck was all jacked up from trying to sleep upright. But after that I was fine to start walking and doing legs and cardio stuff. About the most I can do for upper body is just to move my arms up and down, or in circles. I have seen others comment that it’s best to wait months to resume any intense upper body workout. The implants dropping and everything healing could be in jeopardy if you do too much too soon. You’d be so breast obsessed for the first couple months, you probably won’t miss the upper bod workout for a while.

Ah! Thank you!!

You look absolutely beautiful and are such an inspiration to me. I’m turning 50 in May and just had my BA 3 weeks ago. Same size implants as yours but smooth Mentor high profile with a lift. I also want to thank you for posting your journey this far along, it’s so encouraging to see your beautiful results. You ROCK girl!

14 months Post Op and annual exam with PS

User Avatar
Breastenvy
I’m now at 14 months post op after having Sientra textured silicone, mod profile, 325 cc under the muscle, with under breast incision. I started at about 125 pounds and 5’6 height, and a small 34 B... on a good day. I’m now wearing medium in sports bras and most bikini tops and usually a 34 D in regular bras.
Everything is going well. If you’ve followed me you know I do wish my implants sat just a bit higher and that I’ve also had times where the right breast was mid shaped at the bottom (early months 3-4), and have had ongoing but mild discomfort in the lower right breast when not supported. The misshapen situation has mostly resolved and rounded out since month 4 or 5 and they really haven’t dropped any more since then, thank goodness! They have continued to fluff and soften though. Still have a tiny bit of discomfort on right side when not supported, but I just keep them supported most of the time and also want to keep them from dropping further as much as possible.
My PS ssif everything seems great and that in order to bring them up if I desired, I would need a lift. Ladies... when you are trying on sizes or looking at a 3d image, it may not indicate where your breasts will hang accurately. My 3d image showed them up where they were at 1 - 2 months, and they dropped an inch or 2 since then. Be sure to ask your PS about this. Maybe I could have done different size or profile to get higher result. That said, my breasts look WAY BETTER in shape and form than they did in the original 3d image, and they look pretty natural (for a 20 something year old who is 51, lol). I really do love them!
I also asked PS aBout the ache in lower right and he thinks it will continue to fade. Also he said the rippling I feel under the boob when I bend over is completely normal and unavoidable. Said he wants to see me in 4 years and will do an ultrasound to check for issues. Since I smoke, he recommended textured implants which he said are less likely to get CC.
Ladies that are a year or more post op... are you not being seen again till year 5 and getting an ultrasound? Just curious if this is the norm. Of course he said I can call him or come in any time before then, if anything comes up.
I’m attaching some new pics. I have another great example of drop n fluff from a bikini at 1 month post op compared to now. Amazing how much better they look! I also have a pic I LOVE of my profile now. Until recently I wasn’t loving my profile look. A few pics In Various clothes... some where boobs are prominent and others where they aren’t.
Here’s a few thoughts I want to share...
I didn’t do enough research and although I’m very happy, I should have done more.
When you decide your going to have BA, you might get the urge to rush to the finish line. Dont! Take your time. Read tons of reviews including lots of “not worth it” reviews. You need to know all the pros and cons, triumphs and terrors. Don’t put all your trust in your PS... you must put trust in yourself and your PS. Do not consider a PS that isn’t board certifued for any plastic surgery!
Prep for a very emotional journey. Changing your body even for the better is extremely jarring! Take as much time off work as possible to recover... 2 weeks if possible and follow all PS steps to promote best healing and implant positioning/dropping.
Be careful with boob greed. The implants are going to drop over time and unless you plan to have them redone, you don’t want them to look matronly. I’m 51 now and hoping I will have these forever. I am so glad I didn’t go bigger!! I do have times where I want them to look more prominent and I can easily make that happen with clingy clothes, push ups, or padding, but I think unclothed, they are perfect as they are. At 325 cc, they are around a pound each and that is heavy on a small frame. I love being able to downplay them when I want or need to, which is easy in a non fitted shirt and/ or no push up bra.
Don’t expect them to look exactly like each other or like anyone else’s!! This was the hardest part for me. You are still you, just bigger/wider. You are going to miss your old boobs at times, but mostly you will love the enhanced you! Do not worry about what others think... you are doing this for you and no one else. I was a little shy about it st first but now, if someone were to ask me, which usu doesn’t happen, but if it did, I would be proud to share my story.
Have fun with them... that’s why you did this! Show them off, have great sex, take care of yourself! Don’t be shy to ask questions here or if your PS. Sharing info is so helpful!
That’s all for now. Hope all my RS friends are doing great! Hugs!

Good points on your post about BA. I go and see my PS every year. I actually have an appt next month for my 2 yr check up from my BL/BA. I assume every PS is different on their f/u. I would say if your not comfortable with his plan than let him know. All of my f/u were included in my price as well as scar revision if I chose to do that. Good luck. Your results look more & more beautiful every time you post an update. ❣️❣️

Thanks Spunk! It’s good to be able to compare follow up plans with others. I normally have to be half dead to go to a doctor, so I was kinda relieved he doesn’t want to see me for 4 years. I will definitely contact him if I see any signs of a problem before then! Good luck at your 2 year follow up next month! I am obsessed with your results!!! So gorgeous!

Oops I did it again, and a new find

User Avatar
Breastenvy
Oops - I bought yet another swim suit! This is my first sort of one piece swim suit since I was pregnant 23 years ago. I think it’s ptetty sexy! I was the bottom sides toed do I could loosen it a bit though.
New find... the pull up silicone nip covers!
So I already had some of theses to wear with clothes that won’t allow a proper bra, but now that my boobs have dropped, I think they look a little matronly in fitted dresses if no bra support. So I found these nip covers that have an extra area of adhesive so you can pull them up, or inward, or to the sides, just depending on what look you want. Bonus... they also feel supportive! See before and after pics. I think I can pull them even higher if I wanted too. Love these!!! Highly recommend! THESE could also be used to eve even things out if dropping/settling at a different pace.

Correction... I wish the bottoms of the swim suit tied so I could loosen them. Got to quit making updates in my phone because I can’t see!!!

You look fabulous, and I appreciate the recommendation of the nipple covers! Great find!

I tried them but I couldn’t get the hang of them. I guess I need to try again lol

The difference is subtle but noticeable. You look fantastic either way! Sometimes we want a more dramatic appearance for certain occasions; these covers seem perfect for that.
