After almost 30 years of despising my body, I decided to do something about it with the full support of an amazing husband. I had a breast lift with 700cc moderate profile silicone and a tummy tuck with 4 inch muscle repair. I was prepared for incredible pain; however, it just wasn't as awful as so many of the reviews I read. I am so happy with my results thus far and do not regret my decision.

That is a very low TT incision. Wow! Thank you immensely for sharing on RealSelf! How are you feeling at this point?

Honestly, the discomfort is minimal. Still don't feel like I can straighten up like I used to in order to get a good stretch, that includes arching back. I know it will come with time. I'm prone to swelling since I am so very sodium sensitive, so I feel like I'm at a disadvantage due to that, but I'm trying to be careful and drink lots of water. Overall, I'd do it again because I'm very happy with my results! Thanks for asking!

Thank you! The way I see if, even though my scars look a little rough right now, overall I feel so much better about myself, no more running to cover myself in broad daylight! Haha! God bless you on your journey!

Please keep us posted on the "drop and fluff" progress. Mine are high just like yours and im afraid they will stay like this.

You look great! My PS told me to not expect my breasts to settle until right at 90 days. I can tell they're moving. I've been instructed on the massages and do them twice a day. I went with silicone and I can hear them squeak when I massage. I'd read about this possibility but still freaks me out! I trust my doc, he recommended 700cc based on my measurements so I have faith that they'll eventually settle into place. Good luck on your journey! Welcome to the flat side!

Hello ladies, I've recently had 700cc implants and am curious where yall are finding swim suit tops to fit 36E/F? I no longer need the very supportive type, I'm finally able to wear a sexy top and that's what I'm looking for. Any ideas? Thanks!

I'm quite pleased with the "drop and fluff" at almost 4 months post op. Such an improvement from where I was before surgery! God bless Dr. Decherd!
